How to equip a weapon/armor via script

Hello,

we would like to know if there's a way to equip a weapon or armor, according to what the "hero" is currently wearing (equipping). :p

For example, if our hero is equipping the weapon with ID n. 100 we want that, via script, our hero changes the weapon automatically to a new weapon with the ID 200.

If he's wearing weapon id120 we'd like that, after call script, he wears weapon id220, if 121:221 and so on...

What we tried to do is manipulate the id number of the weapon the hero is equipping through this script:

1. Create Variable Operation called:  0061:weaponid

    Operand: SCRIPT $game_actors[1].equips[0].id

2. In the event we put a call script:

    add_weapon($game_variables[61],1)

This actually works but if we add a costant to the $game_variable, the game crashes ex. add_weapon($game_variables[61]+100,1)

+100 represents the increase rate of our weapon id, which means that old weapon should be replaced with a new weapon which can be found at the position +100 in the database

The return error is:

Script 'Game Interpreter' line 1411: NoMethodErrorOccured. Undefined method 'note' for nil:NilClass

Please help us!!!!!! :D :D :D

We will pay u with lots of beeers!

Lots of...

I think to help on this we need to know what the function add_weapon does, as it sounds like the error is in that function. Can you post that please?

I think you'll just have to add the 100 the the variable before you apply it with the add_weapon.

Is there a reason why you cannot do this?

$game_variables[61] = $game_actors[1].equips[0].id

$game_variables[61] += 100

add_weapon($game_variables[61],1)

Your code is doing more than just adding 100 to a variable when it's telling you that it tried to access a "note" attribute.

At the start of the game, would $game_variables[61] be nil?  I know it displays and acts as "0" but it might be the nil object.

You'd probably want a check for nil before trying to add 100 to it.

Variables are never nil.


If you take a look at the Game_Variables class, you will see that if it is not defined, it always returns 0.
