RMMV Need help with a script

[minmike27]

I don't really have any knowledge with JS but I'm tryna make an actor who uses this skill get a weapon,
this is the script call I used in a common event but its not working.

$gameActors.actor($gameVariables.value(1)).forceChangeEquip(0, $dataWeapons[10]);

The script call looks OK to me. Ideas:

1. Maybe the variable is not the value you think it is, so it's affecting a different actor. You can test by adding a Show Text command immediately before the script call, e.g.
   

   ---

   ◆Text：None, Window, Bottom ： ：TEST! Variable 1 is \v[1].

   ---

   
   
2. Maybe the actor is correct, but they cannot use that weapon type. They'll need an Equip Weapon trait matching the weapon's type.

I'm not 100% certain on this, but force change equip only works if you have whatever weapon you want to force equip in your inventory if I remember correctly. I had a similar issue back in the day but the memory is foggy.

forceChangeEquip skips that check, you may be thinking of changeEquip.

Great, you're welcome!
