The demo's got.... EVERYTHING!
I also included Sephiroth Spawn's Skill Requirements script so some skills won't function unless certain items are equipped, or such...
The KGC Overdrive script (version 2 for my BattleStatus Mod script).
and
Trickster's Steal, Mug and Scan v6 (RTAB Modified version)
Did I mention that the demo's got everything?

It's up to Cogwheel. They're still updating RTAB (Which is why I'm not rewriting it guys! You know who you two are. :D ).
Version 1.15 only came out a couple of weeks ago.

Ah great script. I was hoping for a multi attack with RTAB. ^_^

Whoooooooooooot you are Oprah²! :D
I do have a problem though: I looked through the entire Connected Attacking Ver1.02 script and didn't find any piece of script which allows me to select which skills do multiple hits? :/

It's that you create a battle animation in the 'Animation' tab of the database, applying the 'HIT' tag twice (or more). Then you assign a skill, item or weapon HIT (target animation) to that animation. If you look at my demo, I modified um... I think animation #67? or 57 (sword-skill 1) to have 2 hits. Then the sword-skilll 1 animation used by the Cross Cut skill deals out the damage.
So, it's not selecting the skill itself, it's creating or modifying the animation that shows which does it.

Hmm, strange. I copied the 'HIT' flash and repeated it 3 times in other frames but still the same amount of hits?
Edit: Nevermind it worked. I do have a question though: since the script uses that dark-green color, how do you get that color in an normal battle animation without triggering multi-hit..?

Now if only we had seperate character battle commands...

J-Man. No, you don't need Animated Battlers. Dunno what you're doing so let me re-explain the usage of the system.
This script utilizes the RMXP's Database's 'Battle Animations' to create the multiple hits. Yep, those nice and cool flashes with special effects like slashes or explosions that occur on the target is what this script REALLY uses.
Now, some may think that you tag a skill or item with this script, but that is wrong. What you do is edit or create a 'Battle Animation' to show multiple hits. I'll explain the 'Battle Animation' portion first. Let's go into the RMXP database right now and hit the [Animations] tab along the top so we can SEE a 'Battle Animation'.
As an example of a normal animation, look at the very first one that performs damage: 004: Hit . On the right side of the screen, you'll see a window (SE and Flash Timing) that controls the sound effects and flash effects. The first line shows a sound effect. Big whoop. But, the second line shows a single FLASH and has a 'Hit' condition.
Unfortunately, this is too small an animation to mess with, but at least you see the FLASH and 'Hit' condition that I'll be talking about.
Now, let's go down the list of 'Battle Animations' to animation
067: Sword-skill 1. This skill is used by the 'Cross Cut' skill. But, I'll get into that later.
Sword-skill 1 has one sound effect and two FLASH & 'Hit' lines. Let's have some fun, shall we? Now the initial flashes you see here do nothing. But, let's add one more... inbetween the two we already see. Go into the window and copy/paste the #3 Frame flash so you have one more FLASH in there. Make 2 copies of them.
Go into the very first flash frame (the one directly below the sound effect)Turn the 'condition' of this flash to 'none' (because this flash animation will not show a hit effect). Confused? What we just did is create a flash frame that will effect the following 'HIT' flash.
Huh? Well, we're not done yet. Now, we have to edit this Flash's color spectrum. Change the red down to ... um... let's say 5, and change the green value down to 75 (don't go above 100!). Now, change the last two to 0. Now, you're done with this event. Go to the 3rd flash event, just above the #6 frame flash (ie second from the last), and do the same to THIS flash event as you did to the first one. Also, change it's flash frame from #6 to #3. Now, you're done.
Let's now look at the whole flash animation series for this 'Battler Animation':
1 A Sound Effect
2 #3 Flash (a copy of #3 that we edited) We set it to 'none' and changed the color
3 #3 Flash... we didn't edit this.
4 #6 Flash (another copy of #3 that we edited) We set it to 'none' and changed the color
5 #6 Flash... no change here
The 2nd and 4th effects... our edits... has now been linked to the 3rd and 5th Flashs that shows a 'hit' condition. What we did with the colors is change the damage and skill use ratios with the red and green colors.
Now, when the 1st and 2nd HIT flashs occur, our edits (with the color edit) now display their 'damage' hits. The amount of damage is based on our color edits, using the values we edited WITH the colors we set in edit.
Oh, and special note: Do not set Red beyond 20 or Green beyond 100! Division by 0 is a terrible thing. (Hey, I didn't make the script!)
Now, about tagging a skill. You don't. I just ran you through the editing of a 'Battle Animation'. What you do is assign an edited 'Battle Animation' TO a skill or item of your choice. It is the 'Battle Animation' that controls the multiple-hit system.
As an example, let's change the battle animation of the 'Cross Cut' skill to our revised 067: Sword-skill 1 animation. Oh, waitaminute! It already HAS that 'Battle Animation'! So, it'll apply a 2nd hit already!
Course, with all this flexibility, we could just make a full copy of the '004: Hit' animation (like skill # 120 or something), and repeatedly make:
Flash-edit (color formula & no hit)
Flash-Normal 'Hit' Effect
Flash-edit (color formula & no hit)
Flash-Normal 'Hit' Effect
Flash-edit (color formula & no hit)
Flash-Normal 'Hit' Effect
Flash-edit (color formula & no hit)
Flash-Normal 'Hit' Effect
And, make a 4-hit battle animation for a single skill or item (I'm thinking fragmantation grenade!).

Um, when I typed above... I missed a spot. VERY simply it's like this:
EDIT of Flash ('none' condition... and color edit for damage formula)
A Flash (condition set to 'hit')! This shows the damage, using the above formula
Another EDIT of Flash ('none' condition... and color edit for damage formula)
Another Flash (condition set to 'hit')! This shows the damage, using the above formula
Rinse...
Repeat...
So, each 'hit' needs a corresponding 'none'-condition Edit with the color formula.
Just in case, I uploaded and linked a 'barebones' demo to the 1st post. Nuthin' but RTAB and this script... and an edited 'Animation' (067: Sword-skill 1 of course ).

Alright... I got it working :D
Now is there a way to just add a small thing to it? Like how many hits you do to it? Like you know um... like a small display showing like if you hit an enemy with a skill that does 5 hits while you hit an enemy normally and that is 6 hits and then another skill that does 4 hits then it makes 10 hits... and you have to keep the combo going as fast as you can before the display leaves again. Is it possible to do that? :P

To J-Man: The number of multiple-hits is pre-set during design. You can't keep it going like hitting the [action] key... though it would've been sweet if you could.
To Twin-Matrix: Hmmm... I'll look into it. Probably a conflict with another RTAB code... if it's Animated Battlers the fix may be easy... dunno.

To T-M: The fix is ALREADY THERE! :D. I updated Animated Battlers to version 1.3 just for this.
Comment out of Connected Attacking lines 29 to 79 (def Action_Phase). Doesn't seem to affect much, but it TOTALLY conflicts with the battler's MOVING from place to place.
Next, in the Animated Battlers v 1.3 script, there's a new switch called $RTAB_Connected_Attacking which must be true to work WITH Connected Attacking (must be false if NOT using it).
