Want to add Auto-States to Weapons?, Take a look here! Options

[AresWarrior]

In RPG Maker XP, there is no option to add an Auto-State to weapons. Well with this little script, you can.
(An Auto-State is a state that affects the user of the weapon.)

In the Scene_Battle 2 script, under @phase = 1, add this:

CODE

# Weapon Auto-State
if $game_party.actors.size >= 1
if $game_party.actors[0].weapon_id == WEAPON_ID
$game_party.actors[0].add_state(STATE_ID)
end
end
if $game_party.actors.size >= 2
if $game_party.actors[1].weapon_id == WEAPON_ID
$game_party.actors[1].add_state(STATE_ID)
end
end
if $game_party.actors.size >= 3
if $game_party.actors[2].weapon_id == WEAPON_ID
$game_party.actors[2].add_state(STATE_ID)
end
end
if $game_party.actors.size == 4
if $game_party.actors[3].weapon_id == WEAPON_ID
$game_party.actors[3].add_state(STATE_ID)
end
end

^^Change WEAPON_ID to the weapon that gives the state. Change STATE_ID to the state that the weapon gives. For each of the $game_party.actors, the IDs have to be the same if you want it to work. So if I wanted to make weapon #44 inflict state #55 then it would look like:

CODE

# Weapon Auto-State
if $game_party.actors.size >= 1
if $game_party.actors[0].weapon_id == 44
$game_party.actors[0].add_state(55)
end
end
if $game_party.actors.size >= 2
if $game_party.actors[1].weapon_id == 44
$game_party.actors[1].add_state(55)
end
end
if $game_party.actors.size >= 3
if $game_party.actors[2].weapon_id == 44
$game_party.actors[2].add_state(55)
end
end
if $game_party.actors.size == 4
if $game_party.actors[3].weapon_id == 44
$game_party.actors[3].add_state(55)
end
end

I know this script isn't much, but it can help a lot if you want weapons with special effects. (ie. Sharp Claw: Gives the user Sharpness.)
or if you simply want an animation to appear while wearing a certain weapon. (ie. a Gold Sword would show glowing animation)

Side Note: I know the script looks messy. I don't know how to make it look nice like "case blahblahblah when 1 then 2" etc.

This is actually a very useful snippet, and im sure that it will help allot of people out there, nicely done. keep the good work coming

[NOWAYLARRY]

wow, I've really wanted to be able to do just that. This is really great! Kudos!

[Mataris]

So if I put vemon state on a weapon would it poision me or make it so that when i attacked it poisioned my enemy?

[Kread-EX]

It would poison you, duh. If you need to poison the enemy, you just have to check poison in the state infliction box.

Fairly easy not hard Great!

[DragonMaxter]

Awesome. Where do i put this code at?

Edit: Sorry for the stupid question, i'm a total dunce when it comes to scripting..

In the Scene_Battle 2 script, under @phase = 1

Just here.

Oh, thank you. I must have missed that. i feel dumb

Can i double layer this? just restarting at " # Weapon Auto-State" for multiple weapons, changing the values?

Yes, you have an example of this in the OP post.

[AresWarrior]

the script is really bad and messy . I'm sure someone else can make a cleaner version

He said it was messy and besides it's actually really useful.
