Dual Wield Fix
Author: Lytanathan
Version:1.0
Date: June 30, 2011
Description
If you're like me, you may want your dual-wielding characters to be able to use shields. Now, one COULD make shields out of weapons, but then everyone would have to be dual-wielders to use them. This script makes that unnecessary, by allowing a character to equip either a weapon OR a shield in their second hand. (Main hand is still restricted to weapons only)
Features
- Allows dual-wielding characters to hold shields.
Instructions
Cut and paste into script editor. No other setup is necessary.

#| *** Dual Wield Fix by Lytanathan
#+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#| If you're like me, you may want your dual-wielding characters to have the
#| option of equipping shields. Now, you COULD make shields out of weapons, but
#| then ALL of your characters would have to be able to dual-wield to use them.
#|
#| This script allows a dual-wielding character to hold a weapon OR a shield
#| in their offhand. Note that shields still cannot be equipped in the first
#| weapon slot.
#|
#| Compatability issues may arise with other scripts that change the equip
#| system. You may also encounter issues with custom menu systems that modify
#| the equip menu, as I had to slightly modify Window_EquipItem.
#+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#| For those who are interested, this is how the script works:
#| When a weapon is equipped in the second hand slot, @armor1_id is assigned
#| the ID of the weapon, as the original script worked. However, when a shield
#| is equipped, @armor1_id becomes the ID of the shield PLUS 1000.
#| Thus, any code that references @armor1_id first must check whether it is
#| over or under 1000. Under, and the item is a weapon, over, it is a shield.
#+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#| Anyone may use and modify this script as much as they please. I honestly
#| don't even care if you credit me, just don't outright claim it as your own.
#| If you modify it in such a way that it works better, please tell me. I'm
#| not the best scripter, and always looking for ways to improve. It took a lot
#| of tweaking here and there to make it work properly, and I imagine there are
#| a lot of areas that could have been done simpler.

- Enterbrain I guess, as I mostly just modified the default scripts.
Support
If it doesn't work in your project, probably because of a compatability issue, I will likely be unable to help. It took me a lot of tweaking just to get it working in the first place, as I'm not a terribly good scripter.
Known Compatibility Issues
Will probably not work with scripts that change the equip system, at least not without modifications of some kind.
May also encounter issues with scripts that change the default equip menu.
Demo
I don't think a demo is necessary here.
Restrictions
I don't really care how or what you use this script for. I don't even care if you credit me as the creator, just don't claim it as your own please.
