item side effects

[lostamongmortals]

Someone should make a script that if you use to many potions at one time, say 10, it inflicts you with poison: A high potion it'll only take 5 to inflict said status. It's a bit un-realistic to use something without it having side-effects.

 

[Tillman]

You could just do it with common events, every time you use a potion it adds 1 to a variable, then checks to see if the variable >= 10, if so cause the side effect, then reset the counter.

 

[lostamongmortals]

yes, but how do you make it to where it's what actor using the potion gets the side effect? I'm not even sure how you assign the variable to the actor using the item anyway. :-/

bump.

didnt you request this a few days ago in a diffrent topic?

 

[lostamongmortals]

Personally I'd like to see a game where you can heal yourself with a potion, but if your dangerously low on health and use to much, you get inflicted with poison. Too much of something isn't always good I think. Tha'd be a good sript request...

::doddells off to the script request:

wow that's so wierd quoting yourself.

in item tab (in the database) you can see "Common Event" where you'll get a drop-down list when clicked.

So if you go to Common Event Tab and create an event like Tillman said, then come back to item tab, and choose the common event you just made from the drop-down list xD

 

[lostamongmortals]

yes I kniow, but you can't make it to where it's the user of the potion gets the status effect. It's either one certian actor or the entire party. I need it to be whatever actor uses the potions.

So no one wants to try this?
