Getting an item via script., $game_party.gain_item isn't giving me an item Options

[Titanhex]

CODE

char = get_character(0)
$event_furnid[ev_id] = 1
char.character_name = '!Cabinets'
char.character_index = $event_furnid[ev_id] - 1
char.through = false
$game_party.gain_item($event_itemid[ev_id], 1)
$event_itemid[ev_id] = 105
$game_party.gain_item($event_itemid[ev_id], -1)
$game_map.need_refresh = true

That's what my script call looks like. I added the $event_itemid and furnid myself. They initialize at 0.

itemid returns the right number for the item id I want removed/added. But the item doesn't get removed or added. Sometimes I use 0 for the item ID to tell it don't take any items as well, but I doubt that's a problem.

So is there anything in my script call that's causing this problem? I've had problems with getting the charset to change through script calls as well (it works now for whatever reason)

The point of this is to let you place an item down in a spot and remove that item. It cycles through various items to do this, so as you switch out items it gives you back the item you're changing from and puts down the next item in the list.

Sorry, i'm a little confused about the way it works. Let me open up VX.
If i'm right, I think your over-thinking it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm gonna have to sit this one out. I've confused myself to the point I don't recognize my own code..

I think i'm gonna go lie down... :S Sorry Titan.

lmao for the last few hours that's how my head has felt. Finally decided to compromise on my code and use a less compact and less intuitive design. I originally wanted to store both the event id and map id in a parent and child key then store a value in those paired keys, but I don't know how to do that.

Still, for whatever reason when I do:

@temp = 2
$game_party.gain_item(@temp, 1)

No item is given to me.

$game_party.gain_item(2, 1)

This line also doesn't work in Script Call.
This has been confirmed in a new project as well.

So what the hell is the problem? : \

Moved this to RGSS2 Support.

While I'm not an expert with this, could you tell us what exactly happens when you attempt to give the player an item? Does an error message pop up, or does it do nothing at all?

[Titanhex]

Nothing at all.

In all cases of it not working, this script is ran in an event on the map.

Your code is extremely confusing buuuuuut you're ALMOST correct.

The proper code is:

CODE

$game_party.gain_item($data_items[itemid], value)

Thank you, Phillip!

It's always something simple like that. I just needed to look harder at the code in game_interperter. :\

No problem!!

I use game interpreter for everything when I script.
