Update History

13/04/2012. Bugfix: Gaining a non-ranged weapon caused the script to crash when moving the cursor over the ammo slot in the equipment menu.
10/04/2012. Bugfix: unequipping non-weapon items caused a crash.
10/04/2012. Modifications: Added slot names on a per-weapon basis.
09/04/2012. Modifications: allowed ammo to be assigned on a per-weapon basis rather than classes, and allowed skills to use multiple ammo types/IDs. Implemented ammo costs for skills, prevented multiple ammo users from equipping the same ammo, removed equipped ammo from the list of equippable items, and edited the item list so it shows the correct quantity of ammo if a party member has that ammo equipped.

Description

Kread-EX's original Asagi's Gun Licence script allows you to specify ammunition options for classes and skills.

At the request of Eternallight on IRC (and already requested, as I found later, by SirCumferance on Kread's Wordpress) I've modified the script so that you can set ammo types for individual weapons rather than the class. I've also modified skill assignment so that a skill can be used with more than one ammo type (say you wanted a skill that could be used with either arrows or bullets equipped)

I've also fixed some bugs; most of my own making and a couple from the original. One thing with the original script is that if you have multiple party members whose class can equip ammo type X, they'll both be able to equip it and both will draw from the same pool of items. I've fixed this by preventing ammo from being equipped if someone else is already equipping it.

I've also made a small fix to the items list where normally it would show less ammo than you actually have (because obviously one or more of the weapons is equipped). It now shows the full amount regardless of whether it's equipped on anyone.

And finally, I modified the skill notetags so you can assign an ammo cost in case you want the skill to use up more than a single arrow/bullet/dwarf.

Features

You can make a class an "ammo user" by setting some notetags that determine which equipment slot will take ammo and what the slot will be called.
Weapons can be assigned with an ammo type they can equip. Ammo can only be equipped if the actor has a weapon that can take it.
Skills can be given ammo requirements and costs using notetags. The skill will only be useable if ammo of that type is equipped and you possess the correct amount of it.
As ammo is treated like equipment, ordinarily the same ammo item would be equippable by multiple actors. I've edited it to disallow this.
When viewing your item list in the menu ammo count will be correctly shown even if a party member is equipping it.
Weapons can be assigned with their own ammo slot name, which will take priority over the class setting.

Screenshots

Without the proper weapon equipped, you can't equip ammo.

Equip the proper weapon and as if by magic ammo appears!

Once equipped, ammo no longer shows up in the list (like it usually would for weapons you have more than 1 of)
(http://rpgmaker.net/media/content/users/96/locker/ammo3.png)
Now that it's equipped, the ammo can't be used by anyone else.

And if we look at our items menu, it'll display the correct amount even though it's equipped by someone.

Instructions

Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, above Main and below Materials.

Configuration is pretty much done through notetags; the syntax and instructions are included in the script comments.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here.

Modifier's Notes

This modification was created to fulfil a specific need, but I tried to make it as flexible as possible to uses other people might have for it. If there's anything else you want to see the script do, let me know and I'll see if I can accommodate the request.

Doesn't work with more equipement slots...

Can you elaborate?

Well, I've made additional slot called "ammo". In script it has ID 10, in game it was 9th slot, so I've put ID 9 in ammo script.
I've tagged class, made one weapon - pistol, and second weapon - bullets, then I've tagged pistol with ID of bullets.
In game second weapon slot appeared just from nowhere, and if I was about to choose ammo slot to equip bullets, there was an error...

If it's not too much trouble, can you tell me what your tags were for the class/weapon, what error you got, and which line it was on?

Ok, first error. It's happening when I'm pressing down when I select last available slot. And also I have second Weapon slot, it's 4th.
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5020/przechwytywaniegpp.png)
Second error is when I'm hitting "Best" option in equip menu:
(http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/9551/przechwytywanie2n.png)

Tags for class are:
<ammo_slot_id: 9>
<ammo_slot_name: Amunicja>
Tag for weapon is:
<ammo_type_id: 3>
And 3 is ID of ammo in weapons database.

When you say you have a second weapon slot, is this added by another script? I can't replicate your issue on my test project, so I'm guessing it's a compatibility error.

The thing is, that only when I have this ammo script I have also this second weapon slot...

Wait, I just noticed something from the info you gave me.

For class, ammo_slot_id is the EQUIPMENT slot you want to be able to put ammo on. So 0 would be the first slot, 1 the second, 2 the third, 3 the fourth, 4 the fifth and so on. Your example has "9" but you don't have 10 equipment slots for heroes. I have it set to "1" so it replaces the shield slot.

You mean, that I have to replace one of the default slots? Ok, I'll try...

Edit: Right, I've changed it to 2, so now I have an error on 3rd slot...

Yeah, that was how the original script worked.

It doesn't work. See edit.

Sorry, I don't seem to be able to replicate this error. Would you be able to compress your project and upload it somewhere for me to look at?

Ok, it's not encrypted, but there's not much content. Although it's pretty big, so...
Ok, here you are: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?81ziowc5906cxc0

Aha.

Find these two lines in the include? method:

Code: [Select]

return false if item.already_equipped == true
return false unless item.is_a?(RPG::Weapon) && @actor.equips[weapon_slot]

And put them the other way around. That should fix it.

Updated in the OP.

Ok, now it works, but I can't equip ammo as ammo, just weapon ID 1 as an ammo... Its kinda silly to shoot axes :D
To be honest, it's not even ammo slot, it's completely random... And I have error in 190 line of Game_Actor, undefined method 'object=' for nil:NilClass when I'm trying to use "clear" option in equip menu... Maybe I should look for another ammo script...

If you've lost interest in it after one bug, that might be best. I'll see if I can figure out what went wrong and fix it for you, but to be perfectly honest I find your reply somewhat insulting.

I didn't meant to insult you! No way! I was just wondering, if it's any other script for ammo, but i've searched, and there's no script that easy to use like yours (to be honest - somewhere is one script, but it's... Well... Crappy?). So don't be offended, I really need this script and it'll be great, if you will find a malfunction :)

I didn't think you truly meant to insult me, so it's cool. ^_^ I think I've found out what the problem is.

You're using a script that adds extra equipment slots, which works with some of the same methods my ammo script does. I'm going to have to do some testing with both to identify what the compatibility issues are.

Ok, great news! :D

So, as far as I can tell I have this set up right, but when I try to equip a character with ammunition after equipping the ammo-using weapon, the ammo items do not appear in the list. The only option I get is the one to equip nothing at all to the slot.

Tags:

Class:
<ammo_slot_id: 2>
<ammo_slot_name: Ammo>

Weapon:
<ammo_type_id: 21> (or 22, or 23; I have three different types of ammo-using weapons)

Ammo are set up as weapons with types of Bolt, Arrow, and Bullet, which are weapon types 21, 22, and 23, respectively.

Now, I do have a script in place which adds extra equipment slots, but when it didn't work properly I tried removing it first and then testing the game, and I still got the same results, that is to say, none at all.

Would you be able to zip up your project and send it to me so I can figure out what's going wrong?

I found out where the issue was.
By removing Kread-Ex's Multiple Equip Types script, the ammo script works now. Sort of ironic that one of the script's original creator's other scripts caused the problem. I didn't really need that other script anyways (at least, not nearly as much as the ammo script), so don't worry about it if you don't want to.
Either way, thanks for the great script!

How can i assing the default attack to consume arrows without making my other classes useless?.
And, the ammo is consumed by the skill use or the number of hits it does?

EDIT:
I just made a copy of the default attack and replaced with a copy that used the note tag using YEA Battle command list.

Can you make it so that you have something like flintlock pistol that holds 1 round before you have to reload and something like shotgun that can use two rounds before reloading, and so on?

In short, can you make "reloading" skill with this and if so, how?

Trihan, I really like your script BUT have a lot of difficulties to get it to work. Instead of going back and forth with a tedious analysis that might or might not bring a solution, would it be possible - provided you got the time for it - to create a demo that demonstrates the script working? Let's say an example with two weapons; a handgun that uses 9mm bullets and a shotgun that uses shotgun shells.

Thanks for your time in advance!

Edit: Nevermind, I think I've figured it out!

Hi there!

First of all I want to say that this is a very useful and great script and I want to thank the ones who made and edited it.
I managed to get it to work for the most part, however I am having one issue with it that I cannot resolve.

I cannot dedicate more than 1 ammunition type to a weapon.
The script orders me to write the following: <ammo_type_id: x, y, z> into the weapon's Note Box.
If I write let's say <ammo_type_id: 5> everything works just fine. Once I equip said weapon I can select the respective ammunition type in my ammunition slot.
However, if I type <ammo_type_id: 5, 6> in order to use two different ammunition types, NONE of the two show up in my ammunition slot, it just refuses to work at all. The same goes for all amounts of entries past 1. So <ammo_type_id: 5, 6, 7>
does not work either.
Since I am doing everything just like the script explained I cannot see why this is not working.

I am using RPG maker VX ace 1.02a, bought on steam in december 2013 (in case you need to know my version number)
I tested this in my original game AND a completely new game using only this script and no others. So isolation of this script does not affect the outcome.

I wish this script would consider dual wielding weapons- This is perfect for my project, and I've spent weeks trying to work around that.

Trihan appears to have been last active in June, it may take a while for them to notice your post to assist. (and obviously they may choose not to assist on an older script and also the fact that it's originally someone elses script with modifications so he might not be able to make the changes you want.)

That said had you tried tweaking it at all? I'm assuming you're looking to be able to equip a left gun and right gun individually? do they usually come in pairs? would it make more sense to have the twin guns be one item in the database? (with like a dual pistol icon or something?)
