When Items hit Enemys they trigger an event. Possible?

[kiryleexper]

Howdy!
I'm trying to do a game mechanic where i can use items that hit enemys and they trigger an Event and if they don't hit they do not trigger it.
Trying to figure that out for a while now, but i'm a beginner so i might need a proper explanation on what to do.
Thank you in advance!

you cannot do that directly, and you didn't give enough details to point you to one of the dozen workarounds.
are you talking about using an item on the battlescreen? If yes that is just attaching a common event to the item and have the common event check everything

are you talking about using an item on the map and targeting an event that pretends to be an enemy? That would be a lot more complex because you'll have to use an event pretending to be the item and do a lot more to make it work

You can do it with a combination of Mog Pick Up and Throw and CT_Bolt's Event Trigger Event

Is this for combat or on the overworld?

Thank you so much for your replys!
Sorry for not giving enough details.
Yes this is for combat and i want an item to use on an enemy to hit him and then catch him with a specific chance. You can think of it like pokeball, superball etc. The better the item is the better the chance to capture it.
The mog pick up and throw is not what i'm searching sadly.

So you can do it using the default tools the way Andar said.

Make the Item apply a state to its target, then run a common event. The event looks at each member of the troop and if they have that targeting state, does the stuff you want.

Or you execute a few lines of code using a plugin like Yanfly's Skill Core.

Or you Google your question and find there are several plugins and tutorials on how to duplicate Pokéball catching in MV.
