Script Call Equivalent of Events

[TKLF]

Back here again...

Is there a way to determine the weapon type (Axe, Sword, Bow, Staff) that an actor currently has equipped?

[...]

CHECKING AVAILABILITY

$game_actors[X].equips.include?($data_weapons[Y]) - Checks if the actor #X has weapon #Y equipped

[...]
CHECKING FOR NAME/ID OF EQUIPMENT

$game_actors[X].equips[Y].id unless $game_actors[X].equips[Y] == nil - Returns the ID of the equipment on actor #X, equipped in slot #Y

$game_actors[X].equips[Y].name unless $game_actors[X].equips[Y] == nil - Returns the name of the equipment on actor #X equipped in slot #Y

NOTE: If using any scripts that give or take equipment slots, the #Y is the number of the character's slot, not the slot's number in the script. I.E. using Yanfly Equip Menu script - if your character has equipment slots 6,7,8,15,15,32,75 available then $game_actors[1].equips[0].id would return the ID of the item equipped in the slot defined as slot 6 in Yanfly script because it's the 1st equipment slot for the specific character.

[...]

I'd assume it's something similar to this, but these just pull the name and ID, not the weapon type itself - and I'm not sure if weapon types are actually bound to the weapon, and not just a string that is checked when the player equips a weapon/armor...

Alternatively, I supposed I could just manually loop through and check if each ID is equipped to determine the type, but that sounds like a lot of work I'd like to avoid.

EDIT: $game_actors[X].equips.include?($data_weapons[Y..Z]) - Would this also work in checking a range between Y and Z (assuming they're all the same type)? Or is this sort of thing limited to hashes and not arrays, haha. I guess I may have to do a  loop in the end.

Should be...

$game_actors[X].equips[Y].wtype_id unless $game_actors[X].equips[Y] == nil

 

[Shaz]

Or (I'm doing this without any scripts in front of me, so I'm assuming Selchar's syntax is correct):

$game_actors[x].equips[y].wtype_id if $game_actors[x].equips[y]if xxx
is the same as


unless xxx == nil

 

[TKLF]

$game_actors[X].equips[Y].wtype_id unless $game_actors[X].equips[Y] == nil

$game_actors[x].equips[y].wtype_id if $game_actors[x].equips[y]if xxxis the same as

unless xxx == nil

Thanks both!

EDIT // just to be safe instead of making a new post:

Is there a call for an actor's base stats/parameters, without those added on by weapons, equipment, states, and the like?

Or perhaps a roundabout method: some way to access the parameters added on by equipment so I can substract it from the stat total itself?

I don't know if you can get only the basic ones. You can try getting the total and reduce the sum of all equipment bonuses.

$game_actors[X].str

$game_actors[X].equips[Y].str unless $game_actors[X].equips[Y] == nil

I'm not certain if these formulas would work out of my head and I'm going to bed now so I might check them tomorrow. If anyone can confirm them or write in correct ones it would also be nice.

 

[TKLF]

I tried that at first too, but it just gave me NoMethodErrors.

After tinkering around, I figured it out:

$game_actors[A].equips[Z].params[Y]

-or-

$data_weapons[X].params[Y]

A = Actor ID

X = Weapon ID

Y = Accepts value from 0 to 7, which are representative of the parameters themselves.

MHP, MMP, ATK, DEF, MAT, MDF, AGI, LUK, in that order.

ie ATK would be [2], AGI would be [6].

Z = Equip slot.

Unfortunately for me, a script is interfering with me pulling the ID of the character's equipped item, so I need to figure that out next.

EDIT: Forgot to add the previous call, which just checks the slot, thank goodness that's avoided.

I am looking for the Script equivalent of this conditional event command:

@> Conditional Branch [Player] is [skill Name] Learned

    @>

Else

    @>

End Branch

I require it to be in script so I can identify the Actor by Actor_Id, where the event command you have to choose a specific actor.

Example:

@> Conditional Branch $game_actors[X] is [skill Name] Learned

    @>

Else

    @>

End Branch

Where X is the actor's ID.

Searched the forums and google and found nothing, any help would be awesome and save a ton of repeat events Thanks!

 

[Shaz]

I have moved your post into the Script Call Equivalent of Events thread.


You'd be after something like this:

$game_actors[actorid].skill_learn?($data_skills[skillid])where actorid and skillid are the ids from the database of the actor and skill you're interested in.
It will return true if they have that skill, and false if they don't.

Derpish question here:

What's the call to add wait frames in Eventing scripts, if there is one? (like the "Wait: 'x' frame(s)" event command, but scripted instead of a command)

I swear I saw it before but can't seem to find it now ~.~

 

[Yato]

If you're calling it from within the interpretor (aka the script command on the third page), it's just

wait(x)

with x being the number of frames. From a move route or something like that, you'd need the following

SceneManager.scene.wait(x)

The following should work as well from anywhere?

x.times { Fiber.yield }

 

[Caustic]

.....

I totally knew that! Or should have, anyhow 

Thank you ^^;

 

[ratlinggun]

Hmmm... I don't think anybody asked this, so is there any script call or maybe a short combination of codes that would determine the region at X:Y coordinates?

Is there a script call that can change a region on X:Y coordinates of the map?

Edit: Thanks FiXato

You can get the region_id for given coordinates with:

$game_map.region_id(x, y)As for changing the region id... not sure. This topic didn't have an answer either.

 

[Shaz]

You would be able to make a script call to change the region on a map tile, but it would only stick until you left the map. When you reloaded it, it would revert to the original region. You would have to have a script written that would give you an easy way to change regions, save them with the player's save data, and then load them again on loading a map.

 

[Chaos17]

Hi,

Is there a script call to be able to load a specific save, please ?

 

[Shaz]

DataManager.load_game(index)


where index is the save file number you're after. I'm not sure if index=0 means save1 or save0, but it wouldn't take much to test.

How would you check the ID of equipment in slot Y equipped to character X, then store it in a variable? 

I'm guessing it would be something similar to what was mentioned on page 13.

Also, is there a way to draw the name of said equipment in a dialogue box?

 

[Shaz]

$game_variables[3] = @actor.equips[4].idwould store the id of whatever is in slot 4 into variable 3.Remember though, that could be either a weapon OR armor - especially if it's in slot 2.

If you go to Window_Base and find the convert_escape_characters method, you can add a few lines that will then let you print out the name of equipment:

def convert_escape_characters(text) result = text.to_s.clone result.gsub!(/\\/) { "\e" } result.gsub!(/\e\e/) { "\\" } result.gsub!(/\eV\[(\d+)\]/i) { $game_variables[$1.to_i] } result.gsub!(/\eV\[(\d+)\]/i) { $game_variables[$1.to_i] } # added lines below result.gsub!(/\eA\[(\d+)\]/i) { $data_armors[$1.to_i].name } result.gsub!(/\eW\[(\d+)\]/i) { $data_weapons[$1.to_i].name } # added lines above result.gsub!(/\eN\[(\d+)\]/i) { actor_name($1.to_i) } result.gsub!(/\eP\[(\d+)\]/i) { party_member_name($1.to_i) } result.gsub!(/\eG/i) { Vocab::currency_unit } result endYou can then put this sort of thing in your message boxes:

\A[5] - to display the name of armor 5

\W[8] - to display the name of weapon 8

\W[\V[15]] - to display the name of the weapon whose id is in variable 15

 

[Petite Elite]

Thanks, Shaz, however...

$game_variables[x] = @actor.equips[y].id

Is giving me an error. Apparently "equips" is an undefined method. 

Also, how would I get the ID of equipment from other actors?

 

[Shaz]

When you report an error, you really need to give the EXACT error message. Is it equips that's undefined (I know it's not, because equips IS a method on an actor), or is @actor undefined? Are you writing it in the script call EXACTLY as it is above? You're not meant to - you're meant to put in the variable number instead of x, the slot number instead of y, and whatever it is you're using to define what actor you're talking about instead of @actor.
