Equipment Switching Script Help Please

[vVTalonVv]

I found this script where it would allow your party to be able to switch equipment during battle. I placed the script above "Main", but for some reason I'm not getting an "Equip" option during battle.

I was told that I had to switch the numbers in this part:

# Disable/Enable slot control (1 allows, 0 disallows)
# Syntax =  actor.id => [weapon, shield, armor, helmet, accessory ], ...
$ebem_slot      = { 1 => [ 1, 0, 1, 1, 1],
                    7 => [ 0, 1, 1, 1, 1],
                    8 => [ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0]  }

And I tried switching all of the numbers to 1's to allow switching of all equipment, but it still doesn't work. Right now I am only working with 1 hero. Do you think that that has anything to do with the situation? Maybe I should get rid of the ID #'s 7 and 8. Any help would be most appreciated!

#
#  INTRODUCTION:
#
#  Greetings!
#
#  This script, like you must know by now,  allows you to change your equipment
#  while in combat.  Originally designed for the default battle system,  it has
#  now been modified to permit it's use in a number of battlesystems.
#
#  Unlike its predecessor,  no modifiecation to Custom Battlesystems's def main
#  is necessary to insert the 'Equip' command.  Through the use of XRSX's won-
#  derful Command Window Add-on,  the option has been added by 'ALIAS'ing it to
#  the battlesystem.  In fact, the only def in the entire Scene_Battle that had
#  to be re-written (and not aliased) is 'update_phase3',  which is primarily a
#  universal def that allows the equipment menu to be turned on.
#
#  The Equipment menu, when used,  appears like the  default menu system,  with
#  the exception  of not seeing  the possible changes  in your stats  until you
#  activly change your equipment.  The original  Japanese version  didn't even
#  have the left 'stat' window. I will leave it to you to modify the appearance
#  or behavior of this window.
#
#  NOTE:  The equipment menu is set to full opacity so as to hide battlers and
#  certain forms of AT bar sprites in certain battlesystems.  The 'Z-Depth' was
#  increased by '700' in order to accomplish this. Without this, the appearance
#  of various forms of sprites could distract or obscure the menu.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  INSTRUCTIONS:
#
#  This script is about as plug & play as they come.  Unless some form of con-
#  flict occurs, you merely paste this script  below your  Custom Battle System
#  for it to work,  or just paste it above 'MAIN' if you are using  the default
#  battle system.
#
#  It aliases nearly every  statement necessary for it to work,  other than the
#  'def update_phase3' as stated earlier, so you want it below your custom bat-
#  tlesystem.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  REGARDING XRXS's #65 BATTLESYSTEM:
#
#  Both this, and XRXS's script adds  an additional command into the actor com-
#  mand window.  XRXS's system adds the "ESCAPE" command, and this one adds the
#  "EQUIP" command.  Normally, you would paste this script below the any custom
#  battlesystem,  but this would leave the 'EQUIP' option to be shown below the
#  'ESCAPE' option.  This script can be placed 'ABOVE' XRXS's system to reverse
#  this and have 'ESCAPE' be the bottommost option.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  REGARDING LAURA'S ESCAPE BAR REMOVAL SCRIPTS (RTAB & DBS):
#  This system  is compatible  with said system.  Both IT and this system uses
#  a modified version of XRXS's Window Module, and the placement of the scripts
#  influences the options position.  If this script  is placed 'BELOW' Laura's
#  script,  then the 'Equip' option  will be below  the 'Escape' option...  and
#  visa versa.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  COMPATABILITY:
#
#  Originally, this system was designed  for the 'default' battlesystem.  It is
#  now able to support the following systems:
#
#  Agility Based Battle - Syvkal (an XRXS edit)
#  The default system  - Yoji Ojima / Enterbrain, Inc.
#  ParaDog's CTB v 2.58 - ParaDog
#  RTAB                - Cogwheel
#  SoulRage            - Blizzard
#  XRXS #65 & 65a addon - by XRXS
#
#  Currently incompatible with the Action Cost CBS by Fomar0153, yet...
#
#  Currently not compatible with Trickster's Conditional CTB, or his Active
#  Timer Battle system.  It would probably need a SDK 2.0 makeover.

Do you have any custom battle system scripts other than this one? I see there are a couple of instructions in the comments up top involving various CBS and where Equip appears. Would you be willing to provide your Scripts.rxdata file to allow us to debug it off forum?

Right now, this is my ONLY other custom script built into my game.

It's an ammunition script so that certain weapons require ammo in order to use them.

Other than that script right there, everything else is basic from what you receive when you click "Create New Game".

EDIT: Here is a copy of my game. I don't have anything else done visually, but I just have the 2 scripts added above "Main". http://www.savefile.com/files/1483974

Your game wouldn't happen to be about zombies per chance? :wink:

Unfortunately I loaded the demo up and it worked perfectly. Equip was the fifth option in the list of possible battle commands. Although admittedly the battler's picture kind of obscures the arrow signifying there are more than the four standard options. I was able to replace the handgun with the shotgun without any problem. Just in case you think I'm just saying that:

Lmao are you KIDDING ME!?!?!? I spent 2 days feeling like a total IDIOT because I couldnt see the stupid arrow. lol... after you said that I opened up my game and literally said out loud "I'm gonna be pissed if its because I couldn't see the damned arrow." and there you go...

Oh boy... It's going to be a loooong night.

Anyway, thanks a lot for taking the time out of your day to test my demo and find my issues. I appreciate it!

EDIT: Also, only if you know it off of the top of your head (a link that is), would you happen to know where I can find all of the damage formulas? I need to figure out some of the damage because there is going to be a universal HP amount throughout my game to make it more realistic. Thanks again.

Lmao are you KIDDING ME!?!?!? I spent 2 days feeling like a total IDIOT because I couldnt see the stupid arrow. lol... after you said that I opened up my game and literally said out loud "I'm gonna be pissed if its because I couldn't see the damned arrow." and there you go...

Oh boy... It's going to be a loooong night.

Anyway, thanks a lot for taking the time out of your day to test my demo and find my issues. I appreciate it!

EDIT: Also, only if you know it off of the top of your head (a link that is), would you happen to know where I can find all of the damage formulas? I need to figure out some of the damage because there is going to be a universal HP amount throughout my game to make it more realistic. Thanks again.

Problem was fixed wasn't it? No time was wasted then.

The damage formulas are in Readme that comes with RMXP(battle formulas). I won't lie though. For me, its like reading some math problem that's far too complicated for what it accomplishes.
