This plugin allows you to manage each and every one of your actors'
battle commands.
You can hide them or show them at anytime.
You can disable them or enable them whenever you want.
You can even choose which commands your actors will be able to use

== Usage ==
Before we begin, we will need to understand how commands are structured.
Every command comes with 3 pieces of information
1. Display Name
2. Symbol
3. Extra Data
The "display name" is the name that is drawn on the screen that the player
can see. You can change the display name at anytime.
The "symbol" is the name that the code uses to identify a certain type
of command. For example, "item" is the name of the Item command. You can
have the item command displayed as "Backpack", but it will still use
"item" internally.
Thre "Extra data" is information that the game uses to determine how to
handle a command. Different commands may need different extra data.
Anyways, let's start adding some commands for your actors.
-- Initializing Commands --
You can initialize commands for each actor. This plugin offers a
basic note-tag:
<battle command: SYMBOL EXT />
Where the SYMBOL is the name of a pre-defined battle command. The ones
available by default are
attack - the "attack" command
guard- the "guard" command
skill_list - all skill types the actor can use
item- the "item" command
skill_type ID - a specific skill type. Specify the skill type ID
You can also tag classes with battle commands. The actual commands
the actor will receive are as follows
1. If the actor has commands, it will use those commands
2. Otherwise, it will check its class for commands.
3. Otherwise, it will use default commands
Now, let's take a look at these commands.
-- Command: attack --
This is your basic "Attack" command. It just uses the "Attack" skill,
or whatever skill is assigned to the "attack" command. You can add it
by writing
<battle command: attack />
-- Command: guard --
This is your basic "Guard" command. It just uses the "Guard" skill,
or whatever skill is assigned to the "guard" command". You can add it
by writing
<battle command: guard />
-- Command: skill_list --
This command adds all of the skill types that your actor can use.
For example, if it can use "Magic" and "Special" skills, both will be
added to your list of commands automatically. You can add this by
writing
<battle command: skill_list />
-- Command: item --
This command let's you use the "item" command, which will bring up the
item window. You can add this by writing
<battle command: item />
-- Command: skill_type --
This is a new command provided by this plugin. It allows you to display
a certain skill type. For example, if you had "Magic" as skill type 1 and
"Special" as skill type 2, you can add "Special" to your actors by writing
<battle command: skill_type 2 />
Note the use of the number 2 as extra data.
== Working with Advanced Battle Command ==
If you would like to use more advanced functionality, you must use a more
advanced note-tag.
You do not have to specify all of the options; just use the ones that you
need to use.
== Managing Commands using Events ==
A number of script calls are available for managing commands during the game.
You can add or remove commands, hide or show commands, enable or disable
commands, and so on.
-- Hiding or Showing Commands --
When a command is hidden, it won't be shown to the player.
You can hide or show battle commands for each actor during the game.
To hide or show a command, use the script call
When a command is disabled, it cannot be selected. If the player tries
to select it, the game will simply play a buzzer sound. To enable or
disable a command, use the script calls
