Use MP healing items even when MP is full

[Illuminati3301 0]

Helllo!

i have a huge problem with my game.

I was dumb enough to build a huge part of my battle system around Zetu's Alternate MP X, which unfortunately is pretty bugged

My problem is that I can't use any MP recovering items while outside of battle, because when I try it just plays the buzzer sound effect and does nothing, even when my MP is empty.

However if I use the same item in battle, it works perfectly fine. I know that the problem is rooted in this particular script, because when I removed it I could use my MP recovering items from the menu without a problem. Unfortunately I can't remove the script altogether because as I said, it's pretty prominent in my game. 

So my request is: could some kind person do a script that would overwrite the conditions that determine whether MP recovering items can be used, so that you could use them  from the menu even when the game "thinks" that it's full? Any and all help would be highly appreciated.

I test it in a fresh project and the MP recovering item works fine.

Are you perhaps trying to recover the resource?

 

I've seen the script and it lacks of explanation on what to do, like for an example: How do I increase targeted actor resource by item usage from inventory?

Can you explain what you're doing so I can replicate it and find a solution? Or better yet, set a demo that replicate your problem in a fresh project.

 

Btw, I'm using version 1.05. It seems there exist a version 3 of this script.

Thank you so much for your reply!

I've made the demo for you:

P.S. Also I've just noticed that "Recover All" command doesn't affect MP either.

This script is very buggy indeed. Put this somewhere below Game_Battler script and you should be able to use mp healing item from menu.

class Game_Battler < Game_BattlerBase
  def item_test(user, item)
    return false if item.for_dead_friend? != dead?
    return true if $game_party.in_battle
    return true if item.for_opponent?
    return true if item.damage.recover? && item.damage.to_hp? && hp < mhp
    return true if item.damage.recover? && item.damage.to_mp? && mp < mmp
    
    a = user.resources[0].value < user.resources[0].max
    #a = user.resources[0].value <= user.resources[0].max
    return true if item.damage.recover? && item.damage.to_mp? && a
    
    return true if item_has_any_valid_effects?(user, item)
    return false
  end
end

If you want to use mp healing items when your mp is full, remove the # above.
