Error message by Visual Equipment script

TheRamenGirl · Jun 23, 2022

Hello!
I am using the Visual Equipment script by BRANDT/Masked
when i interact with an event to use this script, this error pops up
at the lines around 167-168

When i use this script in a empty new project, everything works just fine..

Here's the script

The script works fine, you just have to set it up correctly.

The problem is that the script makes a mistake twice, it expects to always get a string that matches the note that allows you to visually equip something on the fly. Since there's no match, it returns nil (nothing) and your game crashes. It should include a condition to prevent it from ever happening.

I had thought about that, and forgot to test it. It does cause an issue if the comment does not have the proper note.
Not 100% sure how to change it. I did initially try but the code structure is different from what I've seen and I wasn't sure how to best change it without rewriting it almost completely.

Never mind, A simple return works.
return if $1.nil?

Place after line 155 - command.parameters[0]

TheRamenGirl · Jul 13, 2022

For the script to work first of all we need to turn on a switch (in my game is set to 28) otherwise the script is not working at all.. The problem is that when i turn on the switch the game crashes with the error 'scan'...

about that can you please show me little more details about where do i put the lines? ty!
(even tho i still wouldn't can to start the script because of the switch problem i mentioned above)

Roninator2 · Jul 13, 2022

TheRamenGirl · Jul 13, 2022

okk done. at first i was little confused because the 152-158 lines were diferent to my script but i found it

~~The switch issue remains tho..~~

... i have a thought in my mind... when i first added the script in my project it worked fine... but something happened and i deleted it and i went back
to the original post to get it again and then the problems started... maybe, just maybe the maker changed the script and "messed" it accidentaly?

Ok... Maybe that was something with one specific map i was using the script in, apparently..
When i tested the script in different map the issue stopped.
Also i tried to turn on the switch on it's own separate event page and then change page and do the settings.. maybe that helps too? i dunno anymore...

Also Roninator2 Thank you for giving the script again because i really needed to check if it was the same with the one i had..

Not unless you want to provide your project. I've tested it in a test demo and turning the switch on and off works fine.
