Equippable Limits

[Tsukihime 1,489]

This script allows you to limit how many instances of item any actor can equip at the same time. For example, if you have three accessory slots, you might disallow equipping more than one exp bonus accessory at any given time.

Usage

 

 

Note-tag equips with

<equippable limit: x>

An actor cannot equip more than x instances of those equips.

 

You can also limit equips by type.

 

<equippable limit: x type>

For example, suppose you can only equip at most one katana at any given time (meaning, you can't equip two katana). You can tag every katana type weapon with

 

<equippable limit: 1 type>

And then whenever you equip a katana, all of the other katana can no longer be equipped until you remove it. Edited April 12, 2013 by Tsukihime

Super-useful! I had to use various equip type workarounds to create a similiar mechanic until now, so thanks a lot!

 

Edit: Ah, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in combination with Fomar's Dual Wield to Free Hands script. Put below that one, VXA gives an error in the Fomar script, put above it ignores the limit. But anyway, I'll see if I can somehow make it work.

Fomar is using the one of the methods I also use, but he's changing the method signature (sort of...well not really since it's pretty much a new method I guess)

 

line 53

 

def equippable?(item, slot = nil)
  unless slot.nil?
    if slot == 1 and dual_wield?
      return (super(item) and not equip_type_sealed?(1)) if item.is_a?(RPG::Weapon)
    end
  end
  return super(item)
end

You can resolve this by changing my script to say

 

line 89

def equippable?(*args)
  return false unless equippable_limit_ok?(args[0])
  th_equippable_limits_equippable?(*args)
end

That still assumes the item is the first argument but at least I am passing stuff I don't need on transparently.

 

Some people do this for EVERY method. I just don't like it because when I look at the code it isn't obvious what "args[0]" is supposed to be unless I make a note of it.

Thanks for the quick support, Tsuki! Works just fine now =)

The script has been updated with a new type of limit.

For example, suppose you cannot equip more than one axe at the same time. You can tag all axes with

<equippable limit: 1 type>

This means that whenever one axe is equipped, all other axes will no longer be available until you take it off.

Finally. Now when I let those players use my overpowered weapons, they will be very disappointed to see that you can only wear the ultimate weapon once as a 1h.
