Request: Food bag system

[Cait]

I got an idea for a food bag system. You would have three bags you can get through the game: small, medium, and large and each bag would have a set limit on what you could hold. The whole point is have a set amount of food to give you MP (as I call it in my game: KI), and thus you can't just use whatever power you have randomly.

I am in the middle of trying to create a system for a food bag. There should be three bags with a set limit as to what it can hold. When you use it, it should fill up your MP points and when it's empty, you will go to a food vender to refill it. I would like the ability for you to select between CHECK and USE. I assumed that I could use it through common events, and item menu, but I am suspecting that I will need a script instead.

SMALL BAG = 100
MEDIUM BAG = 400
LARGE BAG = 600
Food decreases by one, two or five each use (I haven't decided on a set #)

Way to have the bag empty or full, plus the vendor to fill your bag

I thought I could do that through variables, but it doesn't work.

Here's how to do it in common events.

You just need 4 variables for this.
1 - Bag which holds food
2 - UseFromBag which dictates how much is used from bag
3 - BagSize which is only used for replenishing the bag
4 - MPReplenisher which will fill your party's MP depending on how much food they use from bag,
I've set it to Used Food * 10

This is one common event, call it something like Open Bag.

 

Label: start

Text: The Bag is open.

Show Choices: Check, Use, Close Bag

 : When [Check]

    Text: There is \v[1] food in the bag.

    Jump to Label: start

 : When [Use]

    Label: too_much

    Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: Bag] == 0

    Text: We have no food!

    Jump to Label: start

    : Branch End

    Text: How much will we take?

    Input Number: [0002: UseFromBag], 1 digit(s)

    Conditional Branch: Variable[0001: Bag] < Variable [0002: UseFromBag]

        Text: We don't have that much!

    Jump to Label: too_much

    : Branch End

    Conditional Branch: Variable [0002: UseFromBag] > 5

    Text: We can't take that much!

    Jump to Label: too_much

    : Else

    Control Variables: [0001: Bag] -= Variable [0002: UseFromBag]

    Control Variables: [0004: MPReplenisher] = Variable [0002: UseFromBag]

    Control Variables: [0004: MPReplenisher] *= 10

    Text: Your party restored \v[4] MP.

    Change SP: Entire Party, + Variable [0004: MPReplenisher]

    Jump to Label: start

    : Branch End

  : When [Close Bag]

  

  : Branch End

 

As for Refilling the bag create another common event like this

 

Conditional Branch: Variable [0003: BagSize] == 1

  Control Variables: [0001: Bag] = 100

Branch End

Conditional Branch: Variable [0003: BagSize] == 2

  Control Variables: [0001: Bag] = 400

Branch End

Conditional Branch: Variable [0003: BagSize] == 3

  Control Variables: [0001: Bag] = 600

Branch End  

 

And that's it. You really shouldn't use scripts for these things.
