Change Currency

-Tsukihime

 

This script allows you to change currency.

However, at the moment it only supports changing the currency symbol.

 

Download

 

Script: http://db.tt/6EJAKmMG

 

Usage

 

Start by filling out the Currency Table in the configuration.

To change the currency in use, in an event script call, use

 

$game_system.change_currency(:symbol)

Where the symbol is defined in the Currency Table below.

 

Extension

 

I have provided a Currency Table that will store meta-data about each currency. All it stores is the symbol to be used at the moment.

 

Ideally, the script should store the user's currencies somewhere and then whenever `change_currency` is called, you would swap out the party's currency with the other one.

 

I will leave that to someone that wants to figure out how to write it. It can be written in about 20 lines of code or less.
