Equipment that allows for altering script variables?

[kerbonklin]

This might be in the wrong section, i'm not sure.

Let's say one of my scripts has a class/module where default variables amounts are held. (you know, where a user would customize the values in an editable region of the script)  Is there any known way or method to have equipments alter a scripted variable (from a class or a module) as long as it is worn?

For example I have $game_timer.start(time) being used, time being a variable valued at 600  (10 seconds) at the start of my game. If I were to equip a special accessory, time would equal 900 instead (15 seconds) until that equip is taken off. (Changing it back to 600)

Then I would also like to do the same but for a custom script that uses a module as described in the first part.

Edit 1: I stumbled upon this thread, gonna try it and see what I can manage. If anyone has other solutions in the meantime, don't hesitate to post.

One option would be to use the following script:

Then have the common events run on equipping check what is equipped and change the variables accordingly.


the other option (with a much higher chance of lag) would be to have a parrallel process check the equipment every second or so. But I would recommend that only if you have incompatibilities with the script.

This managed to do the trick for both situations, along with some custom variable work/script editing of my own.  I successfully created two accessories, one that extends Game_Timer calling that works via variable, and one that changes a scripted variable for MOG's Combo Count. (Changing how long the combo + effects ( a custom state add of mine) stay displayed on the screen)  These are kinda like passive effects to help players who need more time choosing battle commands for my custom system. (To help out noobies at the exchange of one accessory slot)
