Conditional Branch through a move route.

[Zion774]

So, I'm using a script that calls abilities from another map, and plays out their move route.
(XAS Ace is the script name)

^There's a link to it

Now what I would want is a way to have a move route only be done IF a certain item is equipped.

Like: "If Shortsword is equipped, then do move route"

I'm sure there is an easy way to do it with a script function in the move route but I don't exactly know what it is.

That's all. If anybody knows how to do a conditional branch in a move route I'd be grateful. Thanks!

What do you mean, you call "abilities" from another map. Maps don't have abilities, actors do. Abilities don't have move routes, actors or NPCs do.

I think you're looking at this the wrong way round. You do the move route if the item is equipped, not check in the move route itself. You say "item equipped", I assume that this means an accessory, or something, otherwise you would have said 'weapon' or 'armor'. However, the structure remains the same, whatever you meant.

Conditional branch
Check to see if the whatever is equipped.
Yes, do the move route
No, do whatever you have as the alternative.

You will need to know the script call that you put in the conditional. This will require exact information from you. For example, if it is that any actor has the item equipped, and that item is e.g. an armour, then the script call would be
$game_party.battle_members.any? {|actor| actor.armors.include?($data_armors[96]) }

That [96] is the armour ID, and you would change it to whatever the ID is of the armour that you want identified.

However, you might want it to be only one actor, or a specific NPC, and it might be a weapon, or an accessory.

Please provide as much detail as you can so as to be able to work out the precise script call you need. At the moment, I don't think the script call itself is shaped by the linked script at all.

It's hard to explain without showing you the entire map/script! But what you told me gave me my answer!! Thanks
