First make the item a weapon or armor. then make a common event, parallel process. Put in a conditional branch: hero weapon (or armor) is: that item
then if that condition is true go to move event, player, change hero graphic (to the horse) and change speed(to whatever you want)
just make sure that the common event is parallel process and the switch you use is always on

yeah i thought that thing too at first. just go to the page of the conditional branch with all the hero options. if not, it will just make it if you have that item or weapon or something. make sure you did exactly what it says... wait your using xp right? i forgot to check if you said so...

oh and remember to make sure that the switch that you use is ALWAYS ON!!! If you want to make sure its always on just make a new common event, parallel process, switch opperation, turn the switch on! it should work, my game has like 10 of the exact same thing, weapons that change your graphic :)

ok heres the problem.
'horse' need to be either a weapon or armor (i cant tell from this screen) make sure its not an item...
second problem:
your condition is that it is possesed. the condtion needs to be that it is equiped. ill show you what it should look like in a sec...

dont put anything on the else handler. since the event it parallel process, the else handler runs until you equip that item. if the else deletes it, then it will be deleted before you equip the item, therefore making the event useless. remember that you still need to make it so that a weapon or armor is equiped by one of your heroes (you will have to make this for every hero if you want it to occur for every hero) bla bla make sure that it is equiped not possessed, thats it. it should work now.

to make the condition that the weapon or armor is equiped, go to the conditional branch and all of the hero options are on the second page.
