Individualising items (on VX, shouldn't be too different to XP)

[Erdrick]

I'd like to convert this hash to an array or something. So rather than having Potion x5, I'd like to have it so it's Potion, Potion, Potion, Potion, Potion.

Then, if possible, I'd like to have it so two of the same item could have slightly different properties (for example, if I have two potions, I'd like to be able to increase the recovery of one of them, but leave the other normal with a call script event).

I can get around #2, but I'd like to see if it's possible to make individualised item slots. Many thanks.

I was thinking on making the exact same thing. But i can't figure out how to manipulate the item database via RGSS.
I'm with you dude, wanna know if someone knows how to do it.

$data_items are the items in your database. But these objects are written and read from the file. They are never actually created, like I thought for the longest time, using its initialize. It makes adding attributes to them difficult. You might want to search for SephirothSpawn's virtual database script. I never ended up using it though.

In Window_Item, it only puts one RPG::Item/Weapon/Armor data in for each thing you have.  With simple Ruby, you can make it put in an entry for each thing you have.

(VX code)

class Game_Party
  def items
    result = []
    for i in @items.keys.sort
      @items[i].times do
        result.push($data_items[i])
      end
    end
    for i in @weapons.keys.sort
      @weapons[i].times do
        result.push($data_weapons[i])
      end
    end
    for i in @armors.keys.sort
      @armors[i].times do
        result.push($data_armors[i])
      end
    end
    return result
  end
end
