Two-Handed Weapons

[TimmyTheNerd]

Right, I searched and couldn't find any threads requesting a script like this. So, I'm assuming this hasn't been requested before but I may be wrong.

I have a character class in my game that can wield 1 handed weapons, 2 handed weapons a shield. The issue I have, is that it doesn't make sense for the character to have a 2 handed weapon and a shield. I was wondering if there's a script out there, or if someone can make me a script, where a weapon can take up both the weapon slot and the shield slot, or both weapon slots for a class that can duel wield 1 handed weapons. Basically, if a player equips a 2 handed weapon, they can't equip a shield or 2nd weapon.

I know back in RPG Maker 2003, which I fiddled around with back in 2005, it had the option of designating weapons as 2 handed. I want something similar to that.

Sorry, had to double-check, but yeah, that's how you'd do it.

go to features for whatever weapon you want to designate as two-handed

go to the equip tab

select seal equip and then from that shield.

^ I think somebody already tried that, but it bugs when you already have a shield equipped before using the "two-handed" weapon (seen in a thread months ago)... he can still try it though and see if it works...

or maybe you can use Tsukihime's dynamic equips to remove the shield slot when you equip a two-handed weapon...

There's a few out there that will let you choose what equipment slots you want, and then you can just seal [shield] on that character.  There's Yanfly's Ace Equip Engine, Fomar0135's Custom Equipment Slots, Tsukihime's Custom Equipment Types and I'm sure there are others out there.

Hope this helps!

I actually already use Yanfly's equip engine so all the characters in my game can equip 2 accessories.

So the only way to make a 2 handed weapon is to have the equip seal the Shield slot? I'll give it a try and see what happens.

 

[djDarkX]

Yeah, that'll work.  I've done that for another project I was working on.  Works pretty well.

I had this issues waaaaay back.

Here's the link to the topic, with the solution.

Thanks, just the thing I was looking for.

By the way, where do i copy/paste this to?

Is there a sort of standard place to post these, if its not specified?

 

[sartha]

There is a standard place, you should always post new scripts under Materials but above Main Process in the scripts window. The order of the scripts does have an impact as well so if you have several user scripts changing the order around a bit can sometimes solve incompatibilities.
