[Request] Character Specific Menu Items Script

[Caladbolg Luminaris]

Good day everyone. My name is Caladbolg Luminaris, I have just registered in the forum, and I did that for the sole purpose of requesting a certain script, also, thanks for the amazing scripts of the forum's members, I was able to make very cool things with my project. 

Anyhoo, onto the script, you see, I am looking for a script which lets a certain character use a certain item.
In the way that "only actor nº1 can use this item" or "only nº001 and nº003 can use this item".

I'm talking about using menu items, like ones that increase HP and MP.

I wanted to make stat increasing menu items specificly for certain characters(or classes).

But I'm afraid my skill with RGSS is below average.

Is there anyway to make this?

Battle Engine Melody can both restrict what actors can use an item and what actors/enemies that item can be used on.

however I can understand it's a bit bulky (it's an entire battle engine with this function integrated into the battle engine code) but Melody has a lot of nice features and it has flexibility in offering different combat views and styles, so even if you're using default and want to continue using default, it allows you to do that.

Thank You, but doesn't this apply only to battles?   

if so than I must keep looking... might as well try it. Thanks Again

Neither of those scripts apply only to battles. They apply to the Scene_Item in the menu.

; thought this was a different thread

That's strange...It's not working, I also try the effect nullify which also takes effect outside of battle, and it still doesn't work.

The Item still takes effect on the Class/Character which I had the effect nullified...

Well here you go with no need to add a bulky battle system.

You did not specify if you used a custom scene item script, so I made it for the default one.

end


To use just add into the note tags of the items the following:

Code Select Expand


CAN_USE: # # # # # #


#  = Are the ID's of the actors

Example:

Code Select Expand


CAN_USE: 1 2


The above example would make it so the item can only be used by actor 1 or 2 by the database ID.

Let me know if it works for you and have a nice day.
