Adding an item/weapon/armor to inventory by variable for ID

[Animebryan 139]

I was trying to make a common event add an item, weapon or armor to the player's inventory where the item was determined by a variable for it's database ID. By default, when adding in a item, weapon or armor, you have to specify the exact one, you can't determine it's ID by a variable.

 

Is there a script or scriptcall to work around this? Any help would be appreciated.

Let's say the variable to hold the item ID is variable #5. Then all you'd have to do is a script call:

 

For an item:

$game_party.gain_item($data_items[$game_variables[5]], amount)

For a weapon:

$game_party.gain_item($data_weapons[$game_variables[5]], amount)

For armor:

$game_party.gain_item($data_armors[$game_variables[5]], amount)

Wow, that's really simple. Thanks for the help.

Actually, I need to find a way to set the 'amount' to a variable as well. I have a variable called quantity to determine the amount of the item. Could I just stick another [$game_variables[x]] where it says amount?

[Vincent 27]

Yes. You would put $game_variables[6] instead of amount, assuming the amount variable is game variable #6.

Yes. You would put $game_variables[6] instead of amount, assuming the amount variable is game variable #6.

Do I have to use brackets on that entire part or should I exclude them?

[Vincent 27]

Exclude them. Only have brackets around the number.
