Drop Options
Version: 1.1
Author: modern algebra
Date: September 11, 2010
Version History
- <Version 1.1> 09.11.2010 - Simplified the setup by using words for the type rather than numbers, and added a new option to limit the amount of notebox drops any one enemy can drop.
- <Version 1.0> 09.07.2010 - Original Release
Description
This script is very simple. All it does is allow you to make item drops a little less static in some very simple ways: (a) you can make more than two drops for each enemy, so enemies can drop a greater variety of loot; (b) you can place a cap on the amount of these extra drops, so if you want a boss to have a 100% chance of dropping one of three items, but only one,then you can do that (the limit only applies to drops set up in the note box, not to ones setup in the default way); and (c) you can randomize the amount of gold dropped by setting a range within which it can fall.
Features
- Infinite number of drops
- Can set likelihood of drop either by denominator or by percentage
- Can set a limit on how many of these extra drops any given enemy can drop, thus allowing you to do things like have a boss able to drop many different rare items, but ensure that it only drops one of them
- Can randomize the amount of gold dropped by an enemy
Instructions
Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, somewhere above Main but below the default scripts. See the header of the script for instructions on how to add the special properties to the enemies.

# Description:
#
# This script is very simple. All it does is allow you to make item drops a
# little less static in some very simple ways:
# (a) you can make more than two drops for each enemy, so enemies can drop a
# greater variety of loot;
# (b) you can place a cap on the amount of these extra drops, so if you want
# a boss to have a 100% chance of dropping one of three items, but only
# one,then you can do that; and
# (c) you can randomize the amount of gold dropped by setting a range within
# which it can fall.
#
# If you are using any scripts that show loot drops of enemies (such as a
# bestiary), the effects of this script will not be reflected in that without
# direct modifications. If you are using such a script, please feel free to
# post a link to it in this script's thread in RMRK and I will write a patch
# for it.
#
# This script may not work with some custom battle systems, particularly
# ones that do not use troops.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Instructions:
#
# Place this script above Main and below any other scripts in the Script
# Editor (F11).
#
# All configuration happens in the note boxes of enemies. If you wish to add
# a new drop, place this code in a note box for the enemy:
# \drop[type id, probability]
# type : the type, either Item, Weapon, or Armor. Armour is also
# accepted.
# id : This is the ID of the item, weapon, or armor.
# probability : This is the probability the item, weapon, or armor will
# drop. If you put a % sign after the number, then it will
# drop that percentage of the time. If not, then the number
# you put here will be the denominator, same as with
# regular drops. The number has to be an integer.
# EXAMPLES:
# \drop[Item 1, 65%]
# This will mean that the item with ID 1 (Potion by default) will drop
# 65% of the time when you kill this enemy.
# \drop[armor 5, 8]
# This will mean that the armor with ID 5 (Mithril Shield by default)
# will drop 1/8 times you kill this enemy.
#
# To set a maximum on the number of extra drops (note that this only applies
# to extra drops set up in the note field - the two default drops are exempt
# from this cap), you can use the code:
# \max_drop[x]
# x : the maximum amount of extra drops that you want.
# EXAMPLE:
# If an enemy is set up like this:
# \drop[weapon 20, 100%]
# \drop[weapon 21, 100%]
# \max_drop[1]
# Then that means that the enemy will definitely drop either Weapon 20
# (Mythril Spear) or Weapon 21 (Mythril Blade), but will not drop both since
# the \max_drop code prevents it from dropping more than one of the notebox
# drops.
#
# To randomize the amount of gold an enemy drops, place the following code
# in its note box:
# \gold[variance]
# variance : this is an integer, and the amount of gold dropped is
# calculated by randomly selecting a number between 0 and this value,
# and then adding it to the regular gold drop you set in the database.
# EXAMPLE:
# If an enemy has 5 gold set as its drop in the database, then the
# following note:
# \gold[12]
# will mean that the enemy will drop anywhere between 5 and 17 gold upon
# its death.

Please post in this topic at RMRK if you encounter any problems with this script or have any suggestions for improvement. Do not PM me, no matter how old the topic is.
Known Compatibility Issues
It will likely not work with some custom battle systems, particularly ones that do not use troops.
Also, bestiary scripts or others that show loot information on enemies will not accurately reflect the properties this script adds. If you want it to, then please post a link to the script you are using and I will see if I can modify it to show the effects of this script.
