Hello everybody!

First off, the script in question is one I'm working on and not everything is finished but its almost there. What it does is it allows you to set untargetable actors and enemies, and also allows you to tell it "Don't Let [Actor/Enemy] target this particular [Actor/Enemy]" basically. (Also, some state stuff but I haven't added it yet, its just the module so far.)

Anyways, the problem I'm having is accurately disabling Skill/Item selections from the @actor_command_window. Basically, if the entire $game_troop is untargetable, and the active battler only has skills of scope 1 and 2 (One Enemy, All Enemies) and no other skills of other scopes, its supposed to disable Skill. Prettymuch the same similiar thing is supposed to apply to Items as well.

After rigourous tests, I find it disables the Skill selection from the @actor_command_window almost perfectly, except for...

Gloria has curative skills such as Heal, her command window disables Skill which its not supposed to because these skills don't target enemies, they target actors.

Hilda only has attack skills such as Fire 'n stuff, her command window doesn't disable Skill. She doesn't have any skills that don't target one/all enemies, so this command is supposed to be disabled for her.

The other actors that have enemy-only scopes, their Skill command disable properly as far as I've tested.

I have similiar problem with items... if the only items in your inventory target enemies only then Item command is supposed to disable. At least last time I checked, this isn't happening.

Anyways, here's the script in progress. It requires the full SDK 2.4, and these MACL-ish methods I've added is required for part of it. When testing it, make sure all the enemies in the troop you're testing with have their database IDs stored in the AntiTarget::Enemy::Untargetables array, so the entire troop is untargetable when testing.
