Equip Weapons and Armors with a Script - XP

[Heretic86 25]

XP - how do I equip with a Script? Isn't it something like Player.weapon(1).equip or something similar to that?

[Kiriashi 117]

It's more like actor.equip(someparameter, anotherparamter) or something like that.

 

But you can just use the event command Change Equipment.

What are you doing exactly, creating a Scene or calling a script.

 

and I thought it was:

@actor.equip(@right_window.index, item == nil ? 0 : item.id)

 

which what I got from Scene_Equip on line: 227

kiri and Bigace are right,

 

This is the method you are looking for, in Game_Actor:

class Game_Actor
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 # * Change Equipment
 #     equip_type : type of equipment
 #     id    : weapon or armor ID (If 0, remove equipment)
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 def equip(equip_type, id)
   case equip_type
   when 0  # Weapon
     if id == 0 or $game_party.weapon_number(id) > 0
       $game_party.gain_weapon(@weapon_id, 1)
       @weapon_id = id
       $game_party.lose_weapon(id, 1)
     end
   when 1  # Shield
     if id == 0 or $game_party.armor_number(id) > 0
       update_auto_state($data_armors[@armor1_id], $data_armors[id])
       $game_party.gain_armor(@armor1_id, 1)
       @armor1_id = id
       $game_party.lose_armor(id, 1)
     end
   when 2  # Head
     if id == 0 or $game_party.armor_number(id) > 0
       update_auto_state($data_armors[@armor2_id], $data_armors[id])
       $game_party.gain_armor(@armor2_id, 1)
       @armor2_id = id
       $game_party.lose_armor(id, 1)
     end
   when 3  # Body
     if id == 0 or $game_party.armor_number(id) > 0
       update_auto_state($data_armors[@armor3_id], $data_armors[id])
       $game_party.gain_armor(@armor3_id, 1)
       @armor3_id = id
       $game_party.lose_armor(id, 1)
     end
   when 4  # Accessory
     if id == 0 or $game_party.armor_number(id) > 0
       update_auto_state($data_armors[@armor4_id], $data_armors[id])
       $game_party.gain_armor(@armor4_id, 1)
       @armor4_id = id
       $game_party.lose_armor(id, 1)
     end
   end
 end
end

 

All current actors in the party are stored in the Game_Party class, to access these actor objects:

$game_party.actors[index]

the global variable $game_party is the current party object and .actors is the array storing each actor in the party. So, let's say you want to equip the party member in the first position:

$game_party.actors[0].equip( equip_type, id )

equip_type being a number from 0-4

0: Weapon slot

1: Armor 1 slot

2: Armor 2 slot

3: Armor 3 slot

4: Armor 4 slot

 

id being the id no. of the weapon/armor in the database

Yay I feel almost smart.

Thanks guys! That helps immensely! Mostly just playing around right now, waiting impatiently for the contest, so focusing on understanding the scripting langauge better.
