I'm certainly happy to see this script. I liked the XP one, and had been hoping someone would make a VX equivalent. This should make a nice addition to my project. Thanks.

[DerVVulfman]

Thanks.

Well, I didn't make slots for weapons... but like I pointed out in the script. Who has more than two hands? And some people always had problems with Guillaume's use of additional fonts, but that was a result of it being designed in the 'Postality Knights' era of RPGMaker XP users.

And I may do some tweaking here and there. Some people always complained that there wasn't support for Left-Handed characters.

CODE

  SWITCH_EQUIP_WEAPONS  = [ [1,4] ]

When your character equips the 1st weapon in your database, it is substituted with the 4th weapon. This is fun when you're disguising your 'cursed' weapons with what appears to be regular ones.

Only with the traditional unequip feature in RPGMakerVX's event system [ Change Equipment ] can you remove 'cursed' equipment. But I do plan to make a script call to do 'searches' through an actor's inventory for a 'REMOVE CURSE' call. That would perform a 'remove all cursed items' routine.

Thank you SO much, DerVVulfman! I have SO long wanted cursed items, and you have answered my prayers.

------------EDIT--------------

Okay, I love love love this script.... However, there is something wierd going on.

I have a couple events where an item gets automatically put on a character (the "change equipment" event). Works like a charm. However, after I implemented this script, not only would armor type items not be equipped, they would not even be put into my inventory! (so, I use the event: "Change armor," and add an accessory; then, I use "change equipment" and equip the accessory on Actor 001...BUT, when I have this script, nothing happens).

Although, when I use ONLY the "change equipment" event, the armor appears in the inventory. It seems to be the "Change Equipment" event that somehow erases the armor. Furthermore, the weapon event I have does get added to the inventory and then equipped, just not any armor types. AND, these are not new, added slot types, but default armor types: accessory & body.

I made sure it was this script by taking it out when I noticed the problem. After doing so, the armor events worked perfectly as before. But when I put the script back in, again the armor did not get added or equipped.

This is crucial to my game because I need a character to have a "cursed" piece of body armor put on them by another character, without relying on the player to do it.

SO--how can I get this to work? Do I need to call a script now that I am using this script? I could do that, as long as it would allow me to have my cake and eat it too. Just don't know how to script it... Or change this script so that the pre-made event will work.

THANKS!

Bumpers.

[DerVVulfman]

Just saw.

Just tried.

Just gotta look into why.

Why????????

SWEET omg this script was one of the best innovations ever for vx..... dude ur awesome

[DerVVulfman]

.....Although, when I use ONLY the "change equipment" event, the armor appears in the inventory. It seems to be the "Change Equipment" event that somehow erases the armor...

Looking into it, I found a script call works for all the armor slots, even the extended ones:

CODE

$game_actors[1].change_equip_by_id(3, 21, true)

This makes actor #1 apply the 21st armor into the 3rd slot.

[aevonhaldy]

Hurray! My dream is possible!

Thanks for the call script, DerVVulfman!

[Neku]

Is it possible to check what armour is equipped in the extra slots?
e.g. If $game_actors[1].armour_id == ##
kinda thing?

[Mokimoki]

Very nice, I was just looking for a script so I could equip two accessories, this is quite a bit more than that but it works. That's pretty cool.

[Zinos666]

Ah the return of multi-equip from XP.
Good to see this in VX, nice conversion VV.

[DerVVulfman]

To Vivi:

Dunno. Think I need to add that if I don't find a way around it by accident. When I found the script call for aevonhaldy, that was by accident too.

[Neku]

Never Mind I found How to call them

CODE

if $game_actors[ID].extra_armor_id[slot_id] == ??
Blah
end

ID = Actors Id from the Database
slot_id = the extra armor slot's id for example extra slot 0 would be the 4th armor slot (after Accessory) 1 would be the 5th etc

hope that helps everyone else

[DerVVulfman]

Kewl.

But an addition is being made to read the slots (from 0 to ... whatever you have the slots up to).

You'll be able to read the ID of any slots, regular or extra.

I need to be able to equip multiple weapons (more then 2) as I am using this for a mecha-type game. Can you show me how to do that?
