Gift Box

[Ozborn 2]

Is there a script that could make an item generate a random  item. For example, an item dropped by a boss called "Hade's Gift Box" and when the party uses the box it generates a random item. so more or less its a surprize pack. oh how i loved surprize packages when i was a kid.

It depends upon the scale of randomisation you want - if it's like 1 out of 5 items you can common event this using the random variable.

 

There is also some random loot scripts - Galv made one ages for chests

Yes, there is such an item. The easiest approach here is to install this script:

module GiftBox
  # List of Item IDs for that would be contained by the gift box.
  Items_to_Give = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  # Amount of Items to Give from the Gift Box
  Amount = 1
  # Tag Note of the Gift Box Items
  GiftRegEx = /<giftbox>/i
  # What should be the message if the item generates another item?
  Message = "You gained an item from the Gift Box!"
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Gain Item From Box
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  def self.gain_item_from_box
    puts $game_party.gain_item($data_items[GiftBox::Items_to_Give[rand(GiftBox::Items_to_Give.size)]], GiftBox::Amount, false)
    RPG::SE.new("Item1",100,100).play
    $game_message.add(GiftBox::Message)
  end

end

class Game_Battler < Game_BattlerBase
  alias :giftbox_item_apply                                       :item_apply
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Apply Effect of Skill/Item
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def item_apply(user, item)
    giftbox_item_apply(user, item)
    if $data_items[item.id].note =~ GiftBox::GiftRegEx
      GiftBox.gain_item_from_box
    end
  end
end

You have to use the note tag <giftbox> in your item for the script to consider your item as a gift box. Configuration of other things are inside the script. Tell me if this is the thing you want, as I did this in the simplest way, such as not bothering to add a GUI in it.

A suggestion would be the message to say you got x item - x being the id of the item.

 

Would get more complex if wanted weapons / armours

[+ TBWCS 953]

Easy. Make a counter that creates one for items, weapons, and armors. Get their name and display them as strings. Here is a full script for that:

module GiftBox
  # List of Item IDs for that would be contained by the gift box.
  Items_to_Give = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  # List of Armor IDs for that would be contained by the gift box.
  Armors_to_Give = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  # List of Weapon IDs for that would be contained by the gift box.
  Weapons_to_Give = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  # Amount of Items to Give from the Gift Box
  Amount = 1
  # Tag Note of the Gift Box Items
  GiftRegEx = /<giftbox>/i
  # What should be the message if the item generates another item?
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Gain Item From Box
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
end

class Game_Battler < Game_BattlerBase
  alias :giftbox_item_apply                                       :item_apply
  attr_accessor :given_item
  attr_accessor :give_item
  attr_accessor :give_weapon
  attr_accessor :give_armor
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Apply Effect of Skill/Item
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def item_apply(user, item)
    @given_item = $data_items[GiftBox::Items_to_Give[rand(GiftBox::Items_to_Give.size)]]
    @given_armor = $data_armors[GiftBox::Armors_to_Give[rand(GiftBox::Items_to_Give.size)]]
    @given_weapons = $data_weapons[GiftBox::Weapons_to_Give[rand(GiftBox::Items_to_Give.size)]]
    RPG::SE.new("Item1",100,100).play    
    giftbox_item_apply(user, item)
    SceneManager.goto(Scene_Map)
    counter = rand(3) + 1
    @give_item = true if counter == 1
    @give_weapon = true if counter == 2
    @give_armor = true if counter == 3
    if $data_items[item.id].note =~ GiftBox::GiftRegEx
      $game_party.gain_item(@given_item, GiftBox::Amount, false) if @give_item
      $game_party.gain_item(@given_armor, GiftBox::Amount, false) if @give_armor
      $game_party.gain_item(@given_weapons, GiftBox::Amount, false) if @give_weapon
      $game_message.add("You got " + $data_items[@given_item.id].name.to_s + " from the Gift Box!") if @give_item
      $game_message.add("You got " + $data_weapons[@given_weapons.id].name.to_s + " from the Gift Box!") if @give_weapon
      $game_message.add("You got " + $data_armors[@given_armor.id].name.to_s + " from the Gift Box!") if @give_armor
      @give_item = false
      @give_weapon = false
      @give_armor = false
    end
  end
end

Just by looking at this i think it will work as i need. but will there be an item in my invitory called Gift box ? cause what i would like is the enemy drops a gift box. so you hunt and save up 7 of them and open them all and get 7 random items, equipment, what ever.

[+ TBWCS 953]

Yes. Any item tagged with the notetag <giftbox> is a giftbox.

This is great. Thanks so much.

Can I make a suggestion for this script?

 

How about making it so you can specify what items you can receive per gift box.

 

For example, I'd want a simple "level 1 " box to have 1 small healing item or a dagger.   Where a gift bag I won thru an event or difficult challenge being a "level 5" box might have 2 different high level swords or an elixir.

 

Also, is there a way to make a selection of gold be among the gifts?

 

So maybe making it so you can tag a giftbag:

 

<giftbox>

i1, i1, i3, w1, a3, g300

<\giftbox>

 

Something like that.

 

Thanks
