[RESOLVED] Adding random item to inventory from list.

[Sobeman459]

Oki have this fishlist = [142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 152] i want later one in the script to randomly place one of these items into the player inventory, but also be able to display what item it was in a window. The item should be @fish and i made this little class to do so.

class Fish
  attr_reader :base_id
 
  def initialize(base_id)
    @base_id = base_id
    base = $data_items[base_id]
  end
 
  def icon_name
    return $data_items[@base_id].icon_name
  end
 
  def name
    return $data_items[@base_id].name
  end
end

Thanks again

When you say display what it was in a window, do you mean a message window? If you want to add an item just use $game_party.gain_item(id, number). So if @fish was an item, just put gain_item(@fish.id, 1). Sorry, if this wasn't what you are asking, I'm not 100% sure what you want.

It would be pretty pointless to create a stand-alone class that gets properties that's already there for the data structure. I wrote a little something to do this. Just add the code below to where you want this random item gain to occur:

FISH = [142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 152]

def gain_random_fish
  index = rand(FISH.size)
  $game_party.gain_item(FISH[index], 1)
end

Just make sure that this method is added to whatever class you are going to use it in.

Hope this helps.

This works flawlessly but now if i can get this part to work.

@help_window.set_text("You caught a" + $data_items($FISH[index]) + "!", 1)

@help_window.set_text("You caught a #{$data_items($FISH[index])}!", 1)

i get a syntax error on that line:'(

It's because you cannot use $FISH. It's FISH that was defined as a constant, not the global variable $FISH.
Remove the $ and you should be fine, unless it's inside a different class.

 

[Sobeman459]

even when i take the $ ot i still get a syntax error.

 

[Sarkilas]

That would be because you are trying to output an RPG::Item as a string. Add the suffux .name to make it work. So: $data_items(FISH[index]).name

That should do it.
