A system that changes your armor and battler instantly.
Uses no scripts only common events.
With V2 your character changes with different swords and sheilds. :rock:

This Does Not Belong Here It Belongs in the Script Analysis

 

[Dr. Funk]

it uses no scripts, i suppose i should put that in the description...

This forum is used to ask for help. You do not post creations with no questions in this forum.

This should have been placed in RMXP/RMVX Tutorials, which has been placed under RM Discussion.  The tutorial section is kind of...hidden now.

 

[Dr. Funk]

well with v1 i posted it in script analysis and it got moved to general support what the hell do you expect! :pissed:

 

[BlueScope]

Well, first: This belongs into RMXP/RMVX Tutorials, but as apparently events are scripts now, too, I guess it's fine that someone moved it in here.

And to comment on your actual work: scripting obviously gives you a wider range of possibilities on this, because you'll need a huge load of graphics to cover 5 pieces of equipment at a time, especially considering you'd most likely use more than one of each kind. That'd also result in huge conditional branch chains within your common events, which itself results in lag because events are processed slower than scripts.
My suggestion is that you try to do a similar, yet expanded script in RGSS to increase capability along with your scripting skills, because you obviously know what to do, you just need to apply it to RGSS... because well, only a very limited range of people will have a use for this, I'm afraid.

 

[Dr. Funk]

I would but my scripting skills are horrible  :sad:

I know its just an event system, but great job with it so far! :thumb:

I learned something from poccil, which you could probably apply to your system if you ever decide to learn RGSS. Its the ability to take multiple images, and layer them together to create a new image (thus the composit windowskin system that is used in my CMS.) But instead of windowskins, you could do that with your charactersets too.

Just create directories inside your characters folder for the visual equipment stuff.

*/Characters/[0]-Weapons
*/Characters/[1]-Shields
*/Characters/[2]-Body
*/Characters/[3]-Helmets
*/Characters/[4]-Accessories

These would just contain the base images of the equipment graphics, then when actor is equipped with something it'll paste it together for you. (Still, your charsets would have to be naked, or in their underoos, or it probably wouldn't paste correctly.)

Just a thought, if you ever decide to learn RGSS. If you want, PM me and I can send you the composit windowskin snippet if you want to get your learn on. If I had time, I'd just write the thing for ya, because this is a pretty cool concept you've came up with!

 

[Dr. Funk]

maybe, but i am trying to learn actionscript right now so i don't think i would have the time to learn 2 codes at once.

 

[Teabone]

I don't think this works for accessories though. I've tried it and i've written up my own code using the common events and it only works with the clothes not accessories. which I find is incredibly ridiculous!

 

[Xaitan]

Only a demo version? 

 

[Dr. Funk]

if you want this one to work for accesories, make your own graphics, i'm too lazy. maybe in V3 (yes i am planning to make a V3.)

Nice Script
