Class depends on weapon

[Zackwell]

Script Title:
Class change
RMXP or RMVX:
RMXP
Detailed Description:
I need a simple script that alters a character's class when they equip a different weapon,
Eg. Wielding a sword makes you the swordsman class, giving you access to certain skills. You change to a halberd, and your class changes to Halberdier, which has a seperate set of skills.

So that'd work with about Nine different weapons.
Screen shots:
a picture is worth a hundred words (at least).
Other Scripts I am using (in order):

Spoiler

Letter by Letter Message system - Slipknot
Passability minimap - Selwyn/Squall
Time system with display - Brewmeister

I don't need this script right away, But I'll be awaiting it... Thanks to anyone who decides to have a go at it. I'll give you complete credit for it.

This will assign class[1] with weapon[1]. You'll need to make your weapons & classes line up.

Paste above Main

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Change Class with Weapon 

# Class & Weapon ID must match in the database

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

class Game_Actor

  alias class_equip equip

  def equip(equip_type, id)

    class_equip(equip_type, id)

    case equip_type

    when 0  # Weapon

      @class_id=(id)

    end

  end

end

That won't change the skills though brew.

module WeaponClasses

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Assigns a class to each weapon

  #     Syntax: Weapon[weapon_id] = class_id

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Weapons = []

  Weapons[1] = 1

  Weapons[2] = 1

  Weapons[3] = 1

  Weapons[4] = 1

  Weapons[5] = 2

end

 

class Game_Actor

  alias old_equip equip

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Change Equipment

  #     equip_type : type of equipment

  #     id    : weapon or armor ID (If 0, remove equipment)

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def equip(equip_type, id)

    old_equip(equip_type, id)

    if equip_type == 0

      newclass = WeaponClasses::Weapons[id]

      if newclass != nil

        @class_id = newclass

        relearn_skills

      end

    end

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Removes all skills and relearns them based on class

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def relearn_skills

    @skills = []

    # Learn skill

    for i in 1..@level

      for j in $data_classes[@class_id].learnings

        if j.level == i

          learn_skill(j.skill_id)

        end

      end

    end

  end

end

You can edit the top bit to change which class each weapon changes the character into. If you leave a weapon blank, it won't change the class.

good catch. The project I tested it in already updated the skills in the "class_id=" method.
