Submission: Visual Equipment, by Prexus Options

[BlackStatic]

Hey, guys. I created a quick new demo for this script, if you still want one. All credit goes to Prexus, by the way. I'm not taking credit by making this demo.

Prexus' Visual Equipment Script. Demo by BlackStatic

Ty for the Script and the new Demo.

How can i put Weapon sprite always on Top, cause Armor always put on top?.

[EDIT]

I solved the issue using this code:

# Written by Rataime
# New Edits by DerVVulfman
# February 10, 2008
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Revisions to note:
# 1) Added formatted headers and comments throughout the script.
# 2) Encapsulated the working code in a Visual Equipment module.
# 3) Set the equipment array into an instance value to lower resource costs.
# 4) Discovered a 'nil' $game_party bug. Added 'return if...' statements.
# 5) Removed unnecessary Window_SaveFile edit.
# 6) Interpreter routine for 'Change Equipment' now aliased.
# 7) Interpreter routine for 'Change Equipment' now changes visible equipment.
# 8) Support for 'Change Party Members' now works, even w/ Large Party systems.
# 9) 'Change Equipment' now compatible with Fukuyama's Train Actor script.
# 10) System should now be usable with or without RMXP SDK.

I get this error:

Script 'Visual Equipment' Line 121: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method 'weapon_id' for nil:NilClass

any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[nbrase]

Cool it's a good script

i tryi't and i lik't

thanks man

[Redjet30]

dude, if people arent stupid its not hard, just make a parallel common event with conditional branches of what the player is equipped with

dude, if people arent stupid its not hard, just make a parallel common event with conditional branches of what the player is equipped with

When does the common event get called?

[supercow]

put: $game_temp.common_event_id = X #X ( being the id common event)
in scene_map
or scene_equip
or manualy use common event trigger switch ( i think )

[Tsukihime]

map and equip scenes are logical places to put it, but there are several other cases to consider

The simplest case is where the player goes to the equip menu and then changes an equip. You could call the common event when the player leaves the equip scene to make any visual updates if necessary.

Then there are cases where the equips are forcefully removed from the player. When and where these take place I don't know, but it might happen. Putting it on the map scene might work, though it would not be very efficient to be calling it at every frame update, especially if there are many different cases.

Then there is the possibility of some really customized system where it would be hard to determine just how equips can be changed.

I can't think of a good way to handle this. I definitely don't want to be calling it forever if I don't have to (ie: parallel process anywhere on the map)

sorry i dont use this so i cant really tell what to do, it worked in my mind but if it doesnt work then im stumped .

[Night_Runner]

dude, if people arent stupid its not hard, just make a parallel common event with conditional branches of what the player is equipped with

Redjet30 was just trying to say that instead of using this script, you could make a common event that runs parallel with the map, and the common event shows the sword/armor on top of the character.

I can't remember what it would look like with evented commands, but something like:

CODE

Conditional Branch: Actor001 has Weapon1 (Bronze Sword) equipped
  Variable001[PlayerScreenX] = Player.screen_x
  Variable002[PlayerScreenY] = Player.screen_y
  Show Picture1 (Bronze Sword.png) at x = Variable001, y = Variable002
end

would accomplish the same thing as this script.

Well, that is a very simple model, but if you had conditional branches for what direction the player is facing, and how far into their step they are, it might work the same as the script. By that point though, the script would be much easier....

[Tsukihime]

Hmm, I wonder how that would affect gameplay on slower computers.
What kind of ways do people use to test how much of an impact a parallel event has on the rest of the game?

[Night_Runner]

There was an interesting article about the overhead of parallel processing.... here!.
But that's getting off topic from the perfectly good visual equipment script posted here.
