[SOLVED]"Call Script" question

[darkcieran]

I'm looking to add a character's armor1_id to a variable. (ie "$game_variables[11] = $game_party.actors[0].armor1_id") but when i try that i get an error. any ideas? :huh:

post the error message

NoMethodError occurred while running script.
undefined method 'armor1_id' for [0]:Array

 

[valdred]

try $game_party.actors[1] instead of [0]

 

[darkcieran]

the zero just represent the character's party position. it stilll won't change anything

 

[valdred]

yes, but I'm not sure if the first number of an array is 0 or 1

 

[darkcieran]

i think the problem is the syntax isn't right for that. no matter what number a put in there. there has to be a way to do that, something i'm missing.

First, this belongs to RGSS support.

Second, your script looks like it should work, given that Game_Actors class has this in it:

def armor1_id

  ...

end

Other than that, I see no reason why it shouldn't work, but since it obviously doesn't, run some checks, like these (put each in a call script directly before yours is executed):

p $game_party.actors

p $game_party.actors[0]

p $game_party.actors[0].armor1_id

p $game_variables[11]

Depending on which one of those works, you know what level your error is at. If it's the first, chances are you didn't initialize $game_party yet, aka before title screen (where setting a $game_variable would be pointless anyway). Second print command means there's no actor[0] (which indeed is the first actor in your party though), which means you probably want to write this anyway:

$game_variables[11] = $game_party.actors[0].armor1_id if $game_party.actors[0].exist?

Third of those checks returning an error means that you can't access armor1_id, which would be strange since it should be readable (check for 'attr_reader :armor1_id' or 'attr_accessor :armor1_id' within Game_Actor, at the top of the script), or you have a typo.
Finally, if the last check returns an error, that indicates your $game_variables haven'T been initialized, aka before starting a new game.

I can't really help any farther than that, considering I haven'T used RMXP for years, but I think you should be fine with this checkup. You might also try setting a different variable ($game_temp.avatar_armor1_id or something - got to set that manually). Hope this works.

I agree with BlueScope, you should be trying to use variables that aren't initialized. So to make sure you'll be able to use them, you should make sure both are available. Could you tell us what's the script where you tried to add this line of code? Or was it a script call?

Just in case it wasn't clear, could you show us where were you using that code snippet?

$game_variables[11] = \
$game_party.actors[0].armor1_id

no space after '\'

fisirstly, i'd like to thank everyone who answered this. :wink:
this is a script call in events, thats why i didn't put this in script support.

@blue scope: i tried your print check and i got info from all of them(ALOT!) the others weren't of any help.

@brewmeister: Thanks a bunch for that it works like it should. You Rock! :biggrin:
