"Select Item" lists weapons and armors as well

When using "Select Item", only items are available in the list. Many times, it's necessary to have an item that also happens to be a weapon or armor, but currently there's no way to list a player's entire inventory, and not simply items.


There were a few scripts for VXAce that did this, but after a pretty exhaustive search I don't see any MV plugins with this functionality.


Seems like such an odd restriction, and also quite strange that it doesn't seem to have come up as an MV request yet! Anyone who could whip this one up would be a dreamy sort indeed

Can't this be done with a regular menu script like Galv's Menu Themes and common events??

I think you're referring to a player choosing an item from the in-game menu system. Or am I misunderstanding?


Actually I meant the "Select Item" feature in the event editor, where you prompt the player to choose an item for an event. In VXAce it used to be called "Select Key Item" which was even more restrictive, but there were a few scripts that let you display a player's entire inventory when prompted to select an item, rather than just the things in their "item" category.


For example I have a "Scissors" item, which the player needs to choose from "Select Item" in order to cut things. But I'd also like for it to be wieldable as a weapon. Right now, RMMV won't let me do that. I've experimented with workarounds but they're all very, very kludgy. Hoping that one of the authors of a VXAce expanded "Select Item" script might see through to putting together an MV version
