Alchemy

Since i've been making the game i am now, i've been debating on whether to add an alchemy system to it. Being that along the way of making new maps and stronger enemies, I create new items and such. Now this is the first time i'll be asking about scripts since im still not used to the whole concept of implementing them into the vx ace system. Is there a script or a basic way of combining items to make something completely new?

First of all just saying something about alchemy and a system where you combine things together to create new things is not a detailed enough explanation of what you are trying to achieve. There are tons of ways of doing something like that to let the player use items as "ingredients" and obtain other items in return.

How complex this becomes depends a lot on how you want to implement it.

If you only have a few ingredients you don't even need a script. If you want to combine different ingredients together, pick the effect they have in common and create an item based on that then it s a whole different story. Even more complex if you want to have an alchemy skill into account and use it to determine the outcome result, in which case you might want to literally create new items to add to your data array on the fly.

I don't know if a system like that exists and where you can find it. I am currently writing something like that myself but I cannot say when it will be ready. But once again, I cannot say the one I am writing is the right one for you because I don't have enough informations on how you want your alchemy to be handled.

If you want something like a system to combine elements together to get another item you already created in your item tab (so it is already part of your $data_items) I wrote something similar few years ago and I am quite sure there are other similar scripts (even better ones probably). But even then, once again, you didn't explain how it should work so it is hard to tell.
