I'm attempting to write an unidentified items script, and this includes potentially changing the displayed names of unidentified items (and also other stuff like description, price, icon index, for example, eventually).
However, I'm having problems working out how to change the displayed name of an item, conditionally or at all. At first I thought I'd be able to override Game_Item.prototype.name with a function that under the right conditions returns a different name, but that doesn't seem to work.
What I have for conditionally replacing the name currently looks like this (without a check for whether it's identified, because right now I really just want this to work; without being able to conditionally change the displayed name, the rest is kind of pointless), and is probably stupid in at least one way:
Game_Item.prototype.name = function() {
if (this.meta.unidentified_name){
return this.meta.unidentified_name;
}
else {
return this.name;
}
};
With this, in-game dialogues, like the inventory or item select windows, still display the proper name of an item even when unidentified_name has been supplied in the item's note, and '$dataItems[1].meta.unidentified_name' returns the supplied alternate name for the item (because I'm lazy and test with potion).
Is this even the right place to be looking? Or am I on the right track, but doing something wrong?

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
