VX Ace Shop Steal (UPDATED)

[Triacular 2]

Finally done it!

I can't find any more bugs!

ITS FUNCTIONALLY PERFECT!

NOW UPDATED TO BE MORE USER-FRIENDLY!

 

This allows the player to steal items from any shop in your game. The player has a 47% success chance, but the other 53% is up to you to decide!

 

How stealing works: You select the new steal tab in the shop, select the item you want, then hope to god that you got that item.

How to make the consequence: If the player fails the dice roll, then switch 21 is set to true. I will let you figure out what to do with that switch in the events; I usually make Parallel Processes that swap 21 with the other switch.

How to change values: Just change the values under preferences.

 

Contact me about any problems

Warning: May not work with other shop scripts

Hmmm... Just FYI, most VX Ace scripts don't touch the default scripts. It's more designed so you add new scripts, not replace old ones. Though it really doesn't make that much of a difference. You can just put all these scripts after the default scripts and before main like most scripts want to be put and they will work fine, though since they don't use alias chains they have to come before any other shop scripts.

 

The funny thing is, I would expect more scripts like this. The way most scripts use aliases and the way Ruby classes are always open is probobly really really counter-intuitive to a lot of people used to programing in other languages. Or heck, maybe even most people used to programing in Ruby outside RPG Maker.

Maybe once I figure it out, I can make it more user-friendly and shorter.

This script was intended for personal use, but I posted it because who else would? And I can't find another script like this. I never intended for it to be any different from the original function.

Well it's pretty neat anyhow! *sprinkles fairydust on you*

I've bookmarked this for future reference, but I think I can make this a lot smaller.

 

There's a great chance I'd be able to compile this into a single script, and to boot, improve upon it.

I would like to make the improvements myself.

Also working on it already. 95% done, will be updating this
