"Customize" the Equipment Optimize Button

[Fernyfer775]

Hey all. So, in my current project, I reworked "LUCK" into a stat called "POWER" which serves as an indicator of a piece of gear's potential/strength/what-have-you. My question is two-fold:

1. How exactly does the default optimize button work? How are stats weighed? Does it just put on the piece with the highest total amount of stats on it, skewing items with higher hp/mp to always be equipped?
2. Is there a way to change the way the optimize formula works to be based off one stat instead: LUCK? If so, HOW?

If it helps, this is the code found within "rpg_objects" which is where, I'm sure, you would alter the formula:

Game_Actor.prototype.bestEquipItem = function(slotId) {
var etypeId = this.equipSlots()[slotId];
var items = $gameParty.equipItems().filter(function(item) {
return item.etypeId === etypeId && this.canEquip(item);
}, this);
var bestItem = null;
var bestPerformance = -1000;
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
var performance = this.calcEquipItemPerformance(items);
if (performance > bestPerformance) {
bestPerformance = performance;
bestItem = items;
}
}
return bestItem;
};

Game_Actor.prototype.calcEquipItemPerformance = function(item) {
return item.params.reduce(function(a, b) {
return a + b;
});
};

Any/all help would be appreciated, thank you! ^_^

from the literal word "optimize" to the actual logic in 6 jumps.
sometimes, a simple search is all it takes.

short answer, yes, you can.
long answer, you'll have to grab that parameter Luck, and translate it to a simple number that you can use in an addition, or write a completely new formula that would suit you,... but yes, it can be done, it is all an addition of results.... wherever those results come from, for the function that processes them, is of no consequence to that function.... so you can feed it whatever numbers you want.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, but it doesn't quite get me to where I want to be with this.

See, I looked through that code, so I know where it would be altered, but I posted here because I don't know how to alter it. All the gear in my game already has the LUCK stat on it, which dictates how strong that piece of gear is. I am looking for help on how to change the code I posted in the OP to just cycle through the gear and slap on the piece that has the highest LUCK stat on it.

I'm a novice when it comes to javascript, so a lot of the stuff in that code is very foreign to me, and even with all my best attempts, I haven't managed to get it to just equip the pieces with the highest LUCK.

 

[gstv87]

have calcItemPerformance() return the actual value of Luck then?

the comparison is made by bestEquipItem(), based on what calcItemPerformance() returns.
if your base for comparison is straight Luck,.... ?

 

[Fernyfer775]

Yeah, it's literally just the luck stat. So, I would just need the code to see the luck stat on the currently equipped item and then replace it with whatever other piece i have that has the highest luck .

 

[gstv87]

actor.luk() ?

the base function should still be the same, even if you have renamed it.

Replace this:

Game_Actor.prototype.calcEquipItemPerformance = function(item) {
return item.params.reduce(function(a, b) {
return a + b;
});
};

with this:

Game_Actor.prototype.calcEquipItemPerformance = function(item) {
return item.params[7];
};

@Isabella Ava Works like a charm, thank you so much! (I have no idea what any of the function a, b, whatever means, so that's what was throwing me off)
