Using arrays...

[Ellie]

I think this is what an array is, though I could be wrong.

Anyway. I'm trying to make a quest reward screen system, just something basic. But I've come to a snag. I want it to be like this:

def initialize(gold, exp, gp, [items])

Where [items] is something like... [(w, 1), (a, 54)]

So basically the items you get as a reward for that quest...

How would I do this?

Basically, w = weapon, a = armour, i = item, etc, since they are all classed as different things in the database.

Hash would probably work better for this.

module HashItemGain
  def self.gain_items(items = {})
    items.each do |item_type, ids|
      case item_type
      when 0
        if ids.is_a?(Array)
          ids.each {|id| $game_party.gain_item(id, 1)}
        elsif ids.is_a?(Hash)
          ids.each {|id, n| $game_party.gain_item(id, n)}
        end
      when 1
        if ids.is_a?(Array)
          ids.each {|id| $game_party.gain_weapon(id, 1)}
        elsif ids.is_a?(Hash)
          ids.each {|id, n| $game_party.gain_weapon(id, n)}
        end
      when 2
        if ids.is_a?(Array)
          ids.each {|id| $game_party.gain_armor(id, 1)}
        elsif ids.is_a?(Hash)
          ids.each {|id, n| $game_party.gain_armor(id, n)}
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

Now, this method will gain items for you automatically.

Call it with:

HashItemGain.gain_items(hash)

Now, your hash is started with this:

hash = {}
# Items
hash[0] = [item_id, item_id, ...]
# or Items
hash[0] = {item_id => n, item_id => n, ... }

# Weapons
hash[1] = [item_id, item_id, ...]
# or Weapons
hash[1] = {item_id => n, item_id => n, ... }

# Armors
hash[2] = [item_id, item_id, ...]
# or Armors
hash[2] = {item_id => n, item_id => n, ... }

I am so adding that to the MACL.

Cheers dude, I'll try it out when I get time.
