Changing amount of gold during game play.

[tavoeltav]

I need some help. Is there a way to change how much gold the party can hold through out the game? i.e. Like in zelda when you find a bigger wallet to hold more rupees.

Any help appreciated!! Thanks.

you would have to use a script for that... are you wanting this fix for RMXP or VX?

There is a script for RMXP, but I think you would need to request a conversion if you want it for VX... I dont know of one that has been released.

Ooh, ok. Thanks!

Either or. But I think for XP would be nicer.

Couldn't you just event it?

condition branch BIG WALLET in inventory
if in inventory
  conditional branch player's gold = 100 or above
      above 100: change gold=100
      below 100: add gold +1 
if not in inventory
  conditional branch player's gold = 50 or above    (let's say that 50 is the limit for your first wallet)
      above 50: change gold=50
      below 50: add gold +1                                (or however much you want to give away)


then, as for the battles where you obtain gold, make sure to put a parallel process for whatever maps have battles on, and then "limit" the gold again! (conditional branch big wallet, if not then limit to small wallet (50 gold).

In theory, this should work.
Just edit if you have a large amount of wallets.

Thanks, that sounds like something that would work...but I don't really get what you're saying...

You can create a common event on Parallel Processing that limits the amount of gold. So when you have a big wallet that limits gold to 100, you use the common event to subtract gold until it's 100.

Ooh!!! I get it!!! Hmm...though I must be retarded or something cuz I still don't quite get how excactly you would set it up. Sorry.

Have you read evergreen's post? You'd put those Conditional Branches in a Parallel Processing Common Event.

 

[tavoeltav]

Ok, thanks. But how is it that you would make it so that it would automatically change the gold to (i,e) 100? I can only find the increase and decrease constants, but not making it a set amount.

Very simple!
Just go to see Game_Party. You will find a method like this:

  def gain_gold(n)
    @gold = [[@gold + n, 0].max, 9999999].min
  end

When you change it to this:

  def gain_gold(n)
    @gold = [[@gold + n, 0].max, $game_variable[1]].min
  end

you can use the 1st game variable to decide how much the limit is.
Remember the game variable is 0 when you use it first time without any setting.

 

[tavoeltav]

Ok, but how would you go about changing that when you get another item or something allowing to hold more gold?

 

[hosaii]

You can create a common event on Parallel Processing. If you hold some item what the value of 1st game variable is and so on.

Ah, I see! Thank you all so very much! I really appreciate it!!! :thumb:
