Party Change commands ID by Variable

[Andar]

In most of the "Actor Change" command, we have the option to either have the actor by a fixed selection or give the ID by variable.


However, in all "Party Change" commands, only the fixed option exists.


I suggest that this option "by variable" gets added to all Party Change commands (Change Item, Change Weapon, Change Armor, Change Party Member).


This would simplify a lot of events from random chests to removing the item selected by "Select Item" command to allowing a simpler structure for Guild-Type events (select which actor to add by variable operations).

Good idea for random items, even if we can already do it by setting a if branch. It would be less tedious.

After rereading, I think I finally get this. So you just want to receive an item based on a variable without having to do conditional branches.


I'll try asking for the team's opinion and see if we can implement it.

Exactly - the variable gets an ID number and then the commands use that stored ID to select the item.


Because if you have more than a dozen items, the conditional branches for checking an ID number would make an event extremely long.

Oh, I didn't notice that they removed that function! Used to be that you could choose an item based on a variable (2k3 certainly has that ability - seems they removed it from VX/Ace). Why on earth did they remove it?

I made a new picture that shows better what I was asking in this topic:



An update to this (possible or already denied or whatever) would be nice
