Event Command: Change Item by Item Type

[quackenbirdt]

Hello guys, I'm relatively new to the forums, but I have already mastered the basics of RPGM Ace, well at least not in scripting.


So here is my concern, I wanted my game to have a trading system where players can trade their excess weapons or armor for a specific item. (eg. Player trades a dagger and a shortsword into a scrap metal.) And I want all applicable weapon or armor be able to be traded. The problem is, by doing this in a conditional branch, you have to manually add conditional branches for all weapons and armors (If weapon x is in inventory), and it will be a very tedious job for me to do, especially in my game, where there are 400+ weapons and armors.


I would like to have a conditional branch that checks for a "Item Type" eg. "Weapon, Armor, etc." or even a whole scripted system that opens a scene and let the player choose what applicable item to trade, in fashion like this: "Weapon + Weapon = Weapon Scrap; Armor + Armor = Armor Scrap.


Do anyone of you know such kind of a method or script?


Thank you very much.

Ah, thanks, I didn't know exactly where to post this.

Just get a crafting script and add your recipes there for every trade option you want.


That is way better than making tons of conditional branches in your events.


I have seen a crafting script which lets you make these recipes, at least I think.


It is called something like "Do it yourself! Crafting System". 


If I remember right, that will let you make what you want, although I never personally used that script (or even seen it's code).

Yeah, I am already using Tactics Orge PSP Crafting System by Mr. Bubble, but it doesn't have an option to set a generic item type as a material, (sword, bow, etc.) so I'm pretty much stuck because it refers to a specific item id...., but thanks for the reply, I'll look into it.


Update: I found Mr. Bubble's Dismatle Items Script which allows me to replicate almost all the mechanics I wanted, I'll have to make a workaround on having two or more items as the base of dismatling. Other than that I think my problem is solved. You can close this now admins!
