#==============================================================================
# ▼  Introduction
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# From the VX Yanfly Engines, instant cast properties have been a staple skill
# and item property. Instant cast makes a return in RPG Maker VX Ace. There's
# a few changes made with instant casts.
# 
# 1) For actors with multiple actions, instants will only occur if the first
#    action is an instant. If the first action is not an instant the follow-up
#    actions contain an instant, the instant will be treated as normal.
# 
# 2) Any actions added on by instants will automatically trigger immediately
#    after the instant finishes and will be treated as instants. This includes
#    Active Chain Skills triggering from an instant.
# 
# 3) If an enemy uses an instant, the enemy will gain an additional skill to
#    use after using the said instant. This will apply whenever an enemy uses
#    an instant skill, even if it was after the enemy's first action.

# ▼  Instructions
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script
# to an open slot below ▼  Materials/‘fÞ but above ▼  Main. Remember to save.
# 
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Skill Notetags - These notetags go in the skills notebox in the database.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <instant>
# Causes the action to be an instant action. If an instant action is selected
# first, then the action will be performed before the battle phase starts. If
# placed behind a non-instant action, the would-be instant action will be
# considered a normal action. If an enemy uses an instant action, no matter if
# it was used first or after, the enemy gains an additional action.
# 
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Item Notetags - These notetags go in the items notebox in the database.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <instant>
# Causes the action to be an instant action. If an instant action is selected
# first, then the action will be performed before the battle phase starts. If
# placed behind a non-instant action, the would-be instant action will be
# considered a normal action. If an enemy uses an instant action, no matter if
# it was used first or after, the enemy gains an additional action.

# ▼  Compatibility
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# This script is made strictly for RPG Maker VX Ace. It is highly unlikely that
# it will run with RPG Maker VX without adjusting.
# 
# This script is compatible with Yanfly Engine Ace - Ace Battle Engine v1.00+.
# Place this script under Ace Battle Engine in the script listing
