Really simple individual battle commands for RMXP!

Again, you may recall that in RPG Maker 2003 (RM2K3), you can assign individual commands to each actor, and yet, for some reason, Enterbrain omitted that in RMXP?

Well fear not! I have written up a really simple, easy to use, and easy to customize individual battle command window for each actor based on that actor's id number.

# Instructions:

# Pretty simple really. Just change the Commandx to what string you want it
# to be. Remember this refers to the actor id, not his or her name.

module SS36_Battle_Commands
# Constants
Command1 = "Swordplay" # For actor id 1 (Arshes for default)
Command2 = "Lancer" # For actor id 2 (Basil for default)
Command3 = "Bruthe" # For actor id 3 (Sirius for default)
Command4 = "Thievery" # For actor id 4 (Dorothy for default)
Command5 = "Archery" # For actor id 5 (Estelle for default)
Command6 = "Gun Play" # For actor id 6 (Felix for default)
Command7 = "White Magic" # For actor id 7 (Gloria for default)
Command8 = "Black Magic" # For actor id 8 (Hilda for default)
# Add more here if necessary be placing Commandx = "+special+" where x = actor id
# and +special+ is the name of the special command.
end
