Skills list type¶

Display the list of skills that a party member has access to.

Options generation¶

listvar will be the skills array field of the corresponding playerdata (-1, -2 and -3 means 0, 1 and 2 respectively). They corresponds the skills id of skilldata.

The playerdata's skills are expected to be refreshed by using RefreshSkills which takes into account the party's rank and Medals equipped.

listredirect is overridden to null.

Option's SetText input string¶

This behavior differs depending if we were paused or unpaused.

A first SetText call is done for the tp cost in non Dialogue mode where the input string is |sort,10||Font,0| followed by the cost padded left to 2 characters by or - if there is no cost. This is rendered towards the right of the item bar.

After, if the TP cost isn't 0, a TP icon (or HP icon if Life Cast is equipped) is rendered on the far right of the item bar.

Finally, the input string is set to |single| followed by the skill's name from skilldata.

The position of the input string is overridden to (-0.75, -0.2) and the bar height used for calculating the y position of the down arrow is overridden to -0.9.

When unpaused¶

A first SetText call is done for the tp cost (obtained by calling GetTPCost detailed below) in non Dialogue mode where the input string is |sort,10||size,0.75||Font,0| followed by |color,1| if the player doesn't have enough TP for the skill (Checked by HasSkillCost detailed below) followed by the cost padded left to 2 characters by . This is rendered towards the right of the item bar.

After, if the TP cost isn't 0, a TP icon (or HP icon if Life Cast is equipped) is rendered on the far right of the item bar.

Then, a string is built with Icon commands according to some medals being equipped (this is appended in the respective order if the medal is equipped):

Needle Toss and Needle pincer: + |size,0.55,0.6| + |Icon,192| if Electric Needles, + |Icon,191| if Sleepy Needles and + |Icon,193| if Poison Needles + + |size,0.55,0.6| + |Icon,194| if A.D.B.P Enhancer
Tornado Toss and Hurricane Toss: + |size,0.55,0.6| + |Icon,194| if A.D.B.P Enhancer
Secret Stash and Sharing Stash: + |size,0.55,0.6| + |Icon,218| if Heal Plus
Taunt: + |size,0.55,0.6| + |Icon,195| if Deep Taunt

Finally, the input string is set to the skill's name from skilldata prepended with |color,1| if the player doesn't have enough TP for the skill and appended with the icons string.

The x position of the text is overridden to -2.65.

GetTPCost¶

GetTPCost is a method only used for this listtype that will obtain the effective cost of the skill in TP after considering several medals:

public static int GetTPCost(int player, int id)
public static int GetTPCost(int player, int id, bool matchid)

It returns the cost in HP (if it's negative) or TP (if it's not negative) of the skill of playerdata[player].skills[id] after processing medals that can change skills cost. The matchid parameter should always be false because sending a value of true is considered broken and the game never does that under normal gameplay (it will result in id being converted to the matching skill id in the skills list and then incorrectly used to address the skills list itself resulting in an exception being thrown or the wrong skill being addressed).

The overload without the matchid parameter has its value default to false.

Here's the exact calculation procedure:

The skill id is obtained from playerdata[player].skills[id]
Obtains the cost from the skillsdata and get its absolute value (it's the cost in HP or TP as a positive number)
If the Beemerang2 medal is equipped and the skill id is one of the following, the cost increases by 1:
- NeedleToss
- BeeRangMultiHit
- HurricaneBeemerang
- NeedlePincer
If the HPFunnel medal is equipped and the skill id is one of the following, the cost increases by the amount of HPFunnel equipped on playerdata[player].trueid (this is done to cancel out the cost decrease later in the method for these 2 skills):
- SecretStash
- SharingStash
At this point, if the cost is 0, it is immediately returned so the skill costs no TP
The amount of TPSaver medal equipped on playerdata[player].trueid is removed from the cost
The amount of HPFunnel medal equipped on playerdata[player].trueid is removed from the cost
The cost is clamped from 1 to 99
If the number obtained from the skilldata earlier indicated an HP cost, the cost is negated so it returns in the same format (negative is HP cost, anything else is a TP cost)
The final cost is returned

HasSkillCost¶

HasSkillCost is a method only used for this listtype that will check if the player party member can pay the resources the skill demands:

private static bool HasSkillCost(int tpcost, int playerid)

It returns true if tp is at least tpcost, false otherwise.

However, if playerdata[playerid] has the HPFunnel medal equipped or if tpcost is negative, this instead returns true when playerdata[playerid].hp - 1 is at least the absolute value of tpcost, false otherwise.

This method is intended to check if the player is able to pay the cost of a skill whether it is in TP (tpcost isn't negative) or HP (tpcost is negative or playerdata[playerid] has the HPFunnel medal equipped). In the case the cost is in HP, the HP cost is the absolute value of tpcost - 1.

Description box rendering¶

It uses the default rendering scheme described in Description box rendering where the text is the skill's description obtained from skilldata using the skill id.

Confirmation handling (during battle)¶

The skill cost will then be checked if the player has enough and if they can use the skill in general (checked using HasSkillCost which is detailed above). The cost is stored in flagvar 0. If the skill can be used and the player can pay the cost, SetItem is called on the battle with the selected skill and DestroyList is called which ends the processing of the list.

If the skill can't be used, the buzzer sound will play. In addition, if the player couldn't pay the cost and the skill wasn't Hard Charge, the appropriate hud sprite will flash red (the TP one if it's TP cost or the party member's HP if we have Life Cast).
