Change battler graphic with equipment

[lozer5k]

I've searched and tried events and script tutorials here, but I just couldn't seem to get this to work for me.

All I'm looking for is a way to change the Battler Graphic when an actor has a certain and/or multiple pieces of equipment equipped.
I know very little about scripting so I'm just looking for a little guidance. If anybody can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

This would potentially be a very complex thing (or not at all, I suppose, depending on the pieces of equipment). The thing is, your battler is a little graphic, a .png most likely. You want to add other .pngs on top of it, in a layer fashion, in certain key places. The trick is to define those key places (upper-left corners of those areas I suppose) and, depending on the equipment, add certain items' pictures there.

You'd have to have "empty" battlers, I guess, for this to work; that is, battlers with no equipment at all. Then, say you equip a new sword, you paint the sword's icon at the coordinate of the battler's hand. You'd have to make sure all battlers that will be changed thus would have certain standards (unless you do a per-battler thing), and then define those spots such that you know what the coordinates of said battler's hand, head, shield arm, armor, etc., are.

Once you've got those, it's simply a matter of finding the relative coordinates for the item, since I assume not every item will have the same size.

Now, this forum is for people looking for RGSS/RGSS2 support, in the sense that they will script what they want, with the help of others. If this is a script request, I urge you to post it in the Script Analysis forum, in the Script Request sub-forum.

If you just want to switch to a different battler though (which would be another way to do what etheon said, since you can create all the different combos XD)
it's fairly simple. Probably even possible with just events
