Optimize Body Armor Only

[dubiousdeeds 0]

So I'm trying to create an event that optimizes the armor my character is wearing. I've come across the script... 

 

$game_actors[1].optimize_equipments

 

Which sort of does what I need but it optimizes everything (weapon, head, shield, etc). Does anyone know of a way to make this work on just one slot such as Body?

 

This is being used for taking off a spacesuit. The character is required to have it on when outside the spaceship but when they come inside they have the choice of multiple outfits. So since I couldn't figure out how to just put back on the outfit that was worn previous to putting on the spacesuit (the spacesuit is equipped at anytime by the player and not forced on by an event) I figured I would just go with the best outfit.

 

Thanks ahead for anyone who can help me with this.

Try this

items = $game_party.equip_items.select do |item|

        item.etype_id == equip_slots &&

        equippable?(item) && item.performance >= 0

end

$game_actors[1].change_equip(i, items.max_by {|item| item.performance })

 

 

where you should replace i by the id of the slot you want to change

Try this

 

items = $game_party.equip_items.select do |item|

        item.etype_id == equip_slots &&

        equippable?(item) && item.performance >= 0

end

$game_actors[1].change_equip(i, items.max_by {|item| item.performance })

 

 

where you should replace i by the id of the slot you want to change

 

OK, like many have said before me, "sorry for being a Newbie", but I can't seem to get this to work. So first I copied all of that into my event via a script, changed the two instances of i to 3 (since I believe 3 is the standard slot id for body"), and I received the following error...

 

Script 'Game_Interpreter' line 1411: NameError occurred.

undefined local variable or method 'equip_slots' for

#<Game_Interpreter:0xcee92a4>

 

Then I thought well maybe the first chunk from "items" to "end" should be added via the script editor and the "$" statement should be placed in my event. That didn't work because upon game start I received the following error.

 

Script " line:1 NoMethodError occured.

undefined method 'equip_items' for nil:NilClass

 

So as you can see I greatly appreciate your help, but I may need a little more guidance on getting this to work. Should this all be placed inside my event and if so do you know why it's crashing?

I was too fast my bad try this instead

class Game_Actor

def optimize_equip(i)

items = $game_party.equip_items.select do |item|

        item.etype_id == equip_slots &&

        equippable?(item) && item.performance >= 0

end

change_equip(i, items.max_by {|item| item.performance })
end

end

Put this in a new script( below Materials and above Main)  and use $game_actors[1].optimize_equip(3) as a script call

This did the trick perfectly. Thank you so much for your speedy help with this!
