Event-based Inventory Dump

[Caustic]

Well gee, thanks for changing it immediately after I posted XD 
And whaddya mean "why is it using @'x'_old?!" ? They all use the "@'x'_old" in their respected places =__= 
 

TESTING: And now it appears simply to not function. Ack

Take 1: Touching the "purge" event removes everything (including the extra set of armor for the 2nd actor), but after talking to the guard and running over the "restore" event, nothing happens.

Take 2: And after doing everything in the proper order (guard, "purge", "restore"), only the ITEMS show back up. The weapons & armors disappear, despite them all having the same process @__@

Also, I'm not seeing any variable mismatches. But w/e - here it is again.

And whaddya mean "why is it using @'x'_old?!" ? They all use the "@'x'_old" in their respected places =__=

--> If you read the script you posted above, you'll see that the original method I have you, the clear_items_all, uses @weapons_old, while your new methods use @weaps_old... see the difference???

Take a look at this excerpt:

def clear_items_all(save) $game_party.members.each do |act| act.clear_equipments end if save @items_old = @items @weapons_old = @weapons @armors_old = @armors end @items = {} @weapons = {} @armors = {} end def clear_weaps(save) $game_party.members.each do |act| act.change_equip(0, nil) act.change_equip(7, nil) end if save @weaps_old = @weapons end @weapons = {} end def regain_weaps if @weaps_old.nil? @weaps_old = {} return end @weaps_old.each do |weap| #Repeat of above~ @weapons[weap[0]].nil? ? @weapons[weap[0]] = weap[1] : @weapons[weap[0]] += weap[1] end endSee? clear_items_all uses @weapons_old, while clear_weap and regain_weap uses @weaps_old... so now if you use clear_items_all, then use regain, you won't really have anything since they used different arrays... so you see, you DO HAVE a variable mismatch here...PS: what does the guard do?

...

Well, ****. 

TESTING: And that change did it.

Tested both ways (touch "purge" before and after talking to guard) and they both work. Wewt.

Feel silly for not noticing that little hiccup before.

Then again my eyes were hurting and maybe my brain was too tired to think straight. Figures.

And I swear I mentioned the guard's purpose before... he exists to dump basic equips and items onto the main actor ( second actor has her own armor, while main has nothing to start ). Sort of made sense at the time, but ended up being useful in testing whether the 2nd actor's equips ( and those of any additional party members as well, I would assume ) were returned or not.

Maybe I forgot... hahahaha... my eyes hurt a bit right now... and oh well, it's nearly lunch, and I'm hungry... XD

Sorry for the late reply XD
 
Anyhow, many thanks for the assist and patience! Even if it's just a little part of the game this will help quite a bit :3
Can close this request now <3


FYI, here's the complete code, comments and all (because for once I'm being ridiculously neurotic about keeping notes and such @_@):

=beginSimple Remove/Restore Inventory Script v1.0~|| CREDITS TO:~ Engr. Shana: script coding & debugging guidance <33~ Caustic: original idea & testingThis script will allow you to, via script calls in events, vacate aplayer's inventory of either ALL items (items, weapons, and armors) orone (or several) of them at a time. As well, if you want, you can savethe equipment's variables and recall them via another Event script.Useful for events such as when the party is thrown in jail or when acharacter/the party is on a "death walk", so as having theiritems/weapons/ armors removed would make sense, but you can stillreturn them after the character/party escapes, returns to live, etc.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LICENSE:Requested by Caustic, built by Engr.
