Item that changes actors class?

[Nickster]

so i wanted an item that could change whatever actor equiped it into a different class, so i set up a simple common event that said: if actor 1 equiped weapon: X, then change actor 1's class to: class X.
it didnt work. i tried it with trigger: "none" AND "parallel process," neither worked.

can someone help me set this up or show me how? thanks :]

You have to set up the common event to "Parallel Processing", and then turn on the Conditions switch. Look to the right of the "Trigger", there you can assign a switch that must be turned on for the common event to work.

ugh, im having a complete brain freeze, how do i make it so that when its equipped it turns the switch on?

Actually, you don't need to do that. Just turn on the switch at the start of the game or whenever you receive the equipment. It will always run, but won't change the actor's class until the item is equipped because of the Conditional Branch.

ok, i feel like such an idiot, i think ive tried what youve said and it hasnt worked, and for some reason, when i keep turning my control switches on, my game freezes... any way you could set up these events and take screen shots of them for me?

Here's the common event. Obviously, your class, actor, and weapon names will be different.
Just use a "Control Switches: # = ON" when the game starts and it should process.

By the way, this was done in XP, but it should work the same if you're using VX.

edit: got it. i set up a conditional branch in an event that said if i had the weapon to turn my switch on. thank you regi so much, second time youve saved my ass.
