Level Required Equipment Script?

[Leetfaction 0]

I'm trying to find a script that allows you to make it so that your character and your party members need to be a certain level in order to equip armor and weapons. For example, you could equip a bronze plate at level 1, but you cannot equip a steel plate until you reach level 10. All I could find is weapon leveling scripts that make your weapon stronger as you continue to use them, but that wasn't what I was looking for. If there is a script like this, please let me know. :)

See if this works for you. Just make sure you fill the arrays to completion for each armor, weapon, accessory you have. If you have any issues, please let me know. NOTE: All numbers are random except for the first one, which should be left as one, or lower.

EDIT: I changed the code so that if you do not define a level requirement for any given piece of equipment, instead of receiving ARRAY_INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS, the script assumes a level requirement of 1

This script is awesome! Would it be possible to make items you can't equip yet gray?

[laansolo 3]

gave you a +1 for a nice, simple script.

 

@Joman: That would require a bit more scripting tahn waht he put. I would, but I don't know how to change item colors in scripts. Most I can do is script a window to open. I have been workin on my own CMS, but so far, NG.

[kellessdee 48]

It would be pretty easy, however it would involve making the level required constants in a module or make them accessible from within the scene itself. If you need it I can do it, if not I am sure descendant will have an answer when he is online again :)

[Descendant of Orr 1]

Here is version 1.1. It grays out all pieces of equipment that do not have their requirements met. It also fixes a bug that would have been inadvertently caused by Accessories using the same IDs as Armors (since I thought they were different for some reason -.-)

 

Please report all bugs:
