Separating Key Items into another window

[Kinnison]

Is it possible to do that with a script? I wanted to separate some of the items away from the Inventory windows and put it in another window. Anyone can help me with that? 8-)

 

[Rare]

Yes, it is possible and someone made a script specifically called "key items".

Search the forums.

 

[Kinnison]

Okay, where should I look?
Anyway, are you referring to Trickster or DerVVulfman?
They are the only experts I know about their scripting ability here

 

[SephirothSpawn]

I would help, but my name didn't make that list...



Add this in the script editor above Main.

Now, on this line


def filter_element_set(element_tag = 20, call_refresh = false)

Change that 20 to the key item element you wish to have. Now any item with that element tag (items, weapons and armors), will show up.

 

[Kinnison]

Yeah, I forgot about you. Sorry about that :D. Your scripting abilities are good too, I checked them. Are you Trickster or somebody else?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Just messing with you. But only good? XD

I made a little code for you. Let me know how it works.

 

[Kinnison]

You made that script in a split second? O_o

BTW, I made a mistake to the previous post I made.
Correction: You're the BEST n' Most Excellent :D

Thanks for the script. It works like the one in Final Fantasy 8-)

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Glad you like it. Not a split second. About 10 minutes or so give or take a few minutes opening the game editor.

Flattery will get you everywhere with me. XD

Just let me know if there are errors in the future. And just wait to see my final version of that (that I really need to start). It allows a lot of sorting and filtering, presets, and customizables. In both skills, and items.

 

[Kinnison]

Yeah, just discovered an error awhile ago. No matter what number I change on the statement that you asked me to change, the Key Items always display items that are on the right side of the Normal Item. I mean like this:

NORMAL ITEM WINDOW (Below are the items displayed)
Item 1 Item 2
Item 3 Item 4
Item 5 Item 6
Item 7 Item 8

KEY ITEM (The window display all items that are on the right side of the NORMAL ITEM window like this)
Item 2 Item 4
Item 6 Item 8

Hope you understand what I wrote above.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Silly errors.

Try this:

      end

[Rare]

Yeah, I forgot about you. Sorry about that :D. Your scripting abilities are good too, I checked them. Are you Trickster or somebody else?

LOL Good? xD Seph can be described as a scripting god.

Glad you got some help >=]

 

[Kinnison]

Kinda hate to say this, but the second one is no better than the first one. This time, it displays ALL the items that are available in the Normal Item window (Regardless of what number I put in the Element tag). Sorry if I caused you trouble

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Are you setting the element set on your items in the database? It works for me.

The one I gave you above uses element 17.

 

[Kinnison]

Yeah I forgot to change that one.It works now, although the Key items is displayed in the Normal Item as well. Thanks anyway.

Since you're an expert (Elias said that you are the scripting god :D), I think you can fix the script a little so that Items with the Key item element tag will not be displayed on the Normal Item window

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Hehe. Alter the first code with this:

class Window_Item
  alias_method :seph_keyitemssimple_wnitm_init, :initialize
  def initialize
    seph_keyitemssimple_wnitm_init
    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Item)

        redata << item if item.element_set.include?(element_tag)
      elsif item.is_a?(RPG::Armor)
        redata << item if item.guard_element_set.include?(element_tag)
      end
    end
    @data = redata
    # If item count is not 0, make a bit map and draw all items
    @item_max = @data.size
    if @item_max > 0
      self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, row_max * 32)

end

  def main
    @item_kind_select = Window_HorizCommand.new(640, ['Items', 'Key Items'])
    @item_kind_select.y = 64
    seph_keyitemssimple_scnitm_main
    @item_kind_select.dispose
  end
  def update
    if @item_kind_select.active
      @item_kind_select.update

        end
      end
      return
    end
    seph_keyitemssimple_scnitm_update
  end
end

Let me know if that works.

 

[Kinnison]

I have to change the element tag number "17" in line 14, 37, 83 and 85 right? I change all of them and nuh-uh, it still displays the key item in Normal item window.
Or is it that I missed something else?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

I didn't test it. I need a break, but will be back with a fix soon.

 

[Kinnison]

Sure, go ahead and take a break :D
I can imagine how tired a scripter can be when they make scripts.

By the way, may I suggest something to the script. I hope it will be useful to the script

- I was thinking if you can remove the quantity number in the Key Item window, Key Items look better without the number next to its name
- Shops will still display whatever Key Item I had in the Sell list. Possible to remove the Key Items from that list?

 

[Sucker Punch]

Sorry for bumping an old post, but this is exactly the issue I'm trying to work out.  I figured it would be easier just to update this one, than to create a new thread and go through everything again.  I did a search, and this is almost exactly what I need.

The only thing is, as Kinnison stated, is that the key items show up in both the key items screen, and the regular items screen.  Can anyone help me out?

 

[Sucker Punch]

Can anyone help me out?  Or direct me somewhere that could help?
