Add Common Event to Weapon/Armor Options

[lauruns]

I have a question about Weapon and Armor. Is there a way to activate a Common Event when the player equips or uses weapons or armor?
'Cause I want the game to know or the player is wearing light or heavy armor, and I want a Bow & Arrow system in which the player loses 1 arrow when he attacks.

Thank you

I am taking a look into this for you, it's a rather tricky problem, as there is not way that I've found to check when the player uses the 'attack' command vs anything else in battle with events. This may require scripting, but I will still look into a solution for you, until someone presents a script solution.

As far as the armor check goes, you can do that, but you will need to make a conditional branch for each potential armor the character can wear. On page two you can set that check. There is no way to set it on the armor itself. I'll keep looking for a cleaner and simpler solution, but this is probably another one where a script would be the simplest solution. You may go to script requests and post your request there as well.

#  Description:
#
#    This script allows you to run a common event when you equip an item, be
#    it a weapon or a piece of armour.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Instructions:
#    
#     ~  In your weapon and armour noteboxes, insert this line of code
#
#           ~E_COMMONEVENT_ID: ?
#
#        Replacing the ? with a number to represent which common event you
#        want to run when that specific item is equipped.
#
#
#     ~  You do not have to place this code on every weapon and armour you
#        have, just the ones you wish to use a common event on.
#
#
#     ~  There is a visual example that can be found

That should do it

Haha, I knew that a scripter could do this in no time!
