Using Yanfly Augments to Rename Weapons and use new Images

[40Flashkick]

Hey there, so I'm using Yanfly's attachable augments and Weapon Animation plug ins and while I was renaming the weapons, I was wondering if there was a way I could also change the in game sprite of the weapon to one of Yanfly's pre-existing weapon freebies. The idea came to me when I saw that with Attachable Augments I could change Item names, and when I saw that, I wondered if I could have the item, when it has a new name, be treated as an existing item that could change its weapon image in game.


For example;


Sword 0001 Uses the default Sword image


Fire Sword 0005 uses Yanfly's 'Sword Red' image.


If I attached an item called 'Fire Coating' to 'Sword' using Attachable Augments and changed the name of the base 'Sword' to 'Fire Sword', could I have the game treat the sword as 'Fire Sword' for the sake of Stats and the changed image? 


And if I can, how do I go about doing that?

Yanfly actually provided code to do this in one of there Tips and Tricks a while ago.

You can set the icon using


icon = [Index];


You can change the weapon image using


item.weaponImageIndex = '[Image]';


Inside a Augment Attach Eval.


You can change the Attack Animations as well. Take a look at the code.


Hope this is what you mean.


This will allow you to mimic the traits of another item, but not change it into the other item.


If you are okay with completely removing the existing weapon from the inventory and replacing it with a new one, meaning you would not be able to remove the augment, you could try this:


$gameParty.gainItem($dataWeapons[weaponId], n, false;


Where n is the number of weapons you wish to gain.


Use:


$gameParty.loseItem($dataWeapons[weaponID], n, false);


to remove items.


Cannot guarantee this will work with your setup, but it should work.[/Image]
