Hello guys! As alwais, i'm fasting improving my skill in event creation and this time i'm dying under the pressure of thousand ingredients and conditional branch, so i will try to Ask for help if someone can. I think the kind of script i'm requesting will be very usefoul for many people, so i give a try.
I'm using RPGMaker VX and many script of YEM and Modern Algebra. I'm using multiple Diary and one of them is the Cookbook, who sho in itself all the Recipes of each single think a player can cook, but just if he first learn those by npc, quests, and talking.
My idea is simple, i've already make with event woodcutting, mining and fishing, but i've problems with cooking since i cannot use the system i'm using for the other kind of jobs.
What i will like to have in this script, is:
Using a tag in the items to say <This is a Recipe>
Give to just 1 character the skill to cook [is the Cook Character obviously ^^] or the chance to have different character, cook different things.
Go to a stove and diplay just the recipe list, asking to the player how much of each single recipe to combine. Since he has the cookbook, he could use the Recipes listed in it to cook...or just try and mix how he please.
My best hope will be, if he find a new recipe, a script call to add that to the book.
And saying this, i can use the Sinthethys Shop, but it has two major problems.
First, he show all the ingredients if you have the right recipe in inventory, and that to me is a problem. i will like to hide the single ingredients, so the player must use what he find during the game in his cookbook or just try his luck mixing at random.
Second, there isnt the chance to fail! I will like to have his skill building up after each cook, also if it messed up and burn all recipe.
I'm trying to do it with events, but i cant find a good system, so i'm asking for a script, since alle the Cooking System i see around are just like: "mix 1 with 2 and get 3" if you have ingrdients, you do. no chance to fail.
And i really need the chance to fail, since some of the recipe i intend to use, are quite powerfoul to use...
So is there a chance?
Now i'm drifting lost in the conditionals branch...and each single recipe is around 40 line code...tooo much, just for cookin, i must admit. It is like this:
Text: What ingredients will you like to cook?
Label: Ingredients
Choice 1: Flour
Control Variables: [0011 Flour in Inventory] = [Flour] in Inventory
Input Number [0001 Flour] 4 digits
Conditional Branch: Variable [0001 Flour] <=[0011 Flour in Inventory]
Jump to Label: Ingredients
Else:
Text: You dont have that much Flour!
Jump to Label: Ingredients
Choice 2: Sugar
Control Variables: [0012 Sugar in Inventory] = [Sugar] in Inventory
Input Number [0002 Sugar] 4 digits
Conditional Branch: Variable [0002 Sugar] <=[0012 Sugar in Inventory]
Jump to Label: Ingredients
Else:
Text: You dont have that much Sugar!
Jump to Label: Ingredients
Choice 3: Milk
ok i think you get it...is the same, repeated for ALL ingredients...
Then to the bottom...
Choice 44: Ok i'm ready to cook
Call Common Event "Ingredients List"
Choice 45: No, i dont whant to cook
And that is just the recipe list...
then in the common event, is aaaaaalll way long conditional branch. i will post just one recipe to make clear how i'm working and what i need.

Conditional Branch: Variable [0001 Flour] = 3

As you can see..is pretty long to configure AND this is just one Recipe...
I plan to do around 50 or so Recipes...so...can someone help me, before the conditional brances kill me? ^^
Thanks for your time.
