Give item instead of gold

[catkitten]

Hi this is what I need, I need this;

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Gain Gold (or lose)
  #     n : amount of gold
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def gain_gold(n)
    @gold = [[@gold + n, 0].max, 9999999].min
  end

To add an item with the id of 39 instead of gold.

Thanks,
Catkitten

If you look a little further down in that script (Game_Party) you'll see

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Gain Items (or lose)
  #     item_id : item ID
  #     n       : quantity
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def gain_item(item_id, n)
    # Update quantity data in the hash.
    if item_id > 0
      @items[item_id] = [[item_number(item_id) + n, 0].max, 99].min
    end
  end

    if item_id > 0
      @items[item_id] = [[item_number(item_id) + n, 0].max, 99].min
    end
  end

ya I saw that, would I rewrite the gold thing to look like this;

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Gain Gold (or lose)
  #     n : amount of gold
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def gain_gold(n)
    # Update quantity data in the hash.
      @items[39] = [[@gold + n, 0].max, 9999999].min
  end

I think I may have misunderstood what you are trying to do.
I meant just use the "Gain Items" method instead of the "Gain Gold" method.

Can you explain why you want to do this?

without testing, I think it should be...

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Gain Gold (or lose)
  #     n : amount of gold
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def gain_gold(n)
    # Update quantity data in the hash.
      @items[39] = [[@items[39] + n, 0].max, 99].min
  end

  end

I would like the gold command to add X amount to item 39. Why, Because my shops and stuff now use item 39 as it's gold, but I have to use the item command to give gold and that only allows me to give 99gold at a time. That's why I  want the Gold command to give X amount of gold. Hope I explained that ok.

K, I'll test it when I get home.

that would make the maximum gold amount 99, change

[[@items[39] + n, 0].max, 99].min

to

[[@items[39] + n, 0].max, 9999999].min

  def gain_gold(n)
    # Update quantity data in the hash.
      @items[39] = [[@items[39] + n, 0].max, 99].min
  end

after adding that I get this error Script 'Game Party' line 142: NomethodError occurred undefined method '+' for nil:NilClass


Fixed it! and it works

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Gain Gold (or lose)
  #     n : amount of gold
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def gain_gold(n)
    # Update quantity data in the hash.
      if $game_party.item_number(39) >= 9999999
        else
      $game_party.gain_item(39, n)
      end
  end

It checks to see if item 39 is greeater than or = to 9999999 if it isn't it adds X amount of potions!
Thanks everyone who helped!

it's not really necessary but it can be changed to

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Gain Gold (or lose)
  #     n : amount of gold
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def gain_gold(n)
    # Update quantity data in the hash.
    $game_party.gain_item(39, n) if !$game_party.item_number(39) >= 9999999
  end
