[Eventing]Creating "Charges" for Items, Event tutorial with Images Options

[Khev]

Hello y'all

Did you ever want to create an Item that may be used more than one time?

You can now! And with events

Here it is:

1. Create a new item that you wish to give charges to.
Mine is a Fresh Water Bottle.
I gave it the name Fresh Water 2/2 (Because it can be used twice)



2. Create a new Common Event, and give it a name you can associate to the item you're giving charges to.
I called mine Fresh Water Charges.



3. Go back and only add that Common Event to the first item (since mine has only 2 charges, the last one will end its use).

4. IF you want more than 2 charges, you'll have to create N-1 Common Events for N = number of charges, and add them to their corresponding items:

You create Fresh Water 5/5, add a common event that gives you Fresh Water 4/5.
4/5 has a common event that gives you 3/5, and so on.

There might be a script that does this, but this is the eventing way.
If I ever learn scripting, I'll surely make one of these right away.

PS: Don't mind my Maker's language, it's in portuguese and I do not know how to change it :/

Hope it helps! See y'all

Actually, as glad as I am that you made you a tutorial for this, eventing this for each item with a charge would actually inflate the size of the database unnecessarily. The other problem is that after using each item done with a common event, you get kicked back out to the map. There's a script made for VX that already reproduces this lost feature.

Cool, I made an item like that, its like the soup in Wind Waker, The grandma of a girl in your party refills it,
I made it that you can only use it 3 times, but I only used one item and one common event, but good job
btw.

Yeah I kind of made it like link's bottle of milk in the old n64 series
The bottle went to half when drank once, etc. So i kind of needed two items
