    • In dragon quest when you collect those mini-medals, and when you have lets say 10 of those u give them to a sertain guy and he gives you something special example:

    10 medals collected = Sword
    20 medals collected = Shield
    etc...

    So I was wondering how I can do this kind of thing to my game.

    • Well, not being a scripter, me saying I don't think a script is needed is sort of useless, but I don't think a script is needed. Also, not using XP, I can't say how an event would be done, nessecarily. All that being said, I'd use a mini event system.

    Page One
                  Text: "Hello, I exchange your Dragon Medals for Prizes!"
    If Read How It's Done
                  Text: "Here's how this event works!"
    If cash in medals
                      Shop Processing
                      Sword                       10m
                      Shield                        20m
                      Helmet                      30m
                      Pet Were-Hamster       35m
                      And so on...

    Or if you want the NPC just to hand out things in ascending order of cost, make several pages with SelfSwitches or Numbered Switches that switch to the next page when one item is paid for, and each page has a shop process where only the current "tier" of item is available.   

    Page One
                  Text: "Hello, I exchange your Dragon Medals for Prizes!"
              Show Choices: Read how it's Done, Cash in Medals
    If Read How It's Done
                  Text: "Here's how this event works!"
    If cash in medals
                  Text:"This is what I have available!"
                      Shop Processing
                      Sword                       10m
                      Self Switch A (or switch #x) on

    Page Two
    If SelfSwitch A (or switch #x) is ON
                  Text: "Hello, I exchange your Dragon Medals for Prizes!"
    If Read How It's Done
                  Text: "Here's how this event works!"
    If cash in medals
                      Shop Processing
                      Shield                        20m
                      (If using Numbered Switches, turn switch #x OFF)
                      Self Switch B (or switch #y) on

    Page Three
    If SelfSwitch B (or switch #y) is ON
                  Text: "Hello, I exchange your Dragon Medals for Prizes!"
    If Read How It's Done
                  Text: "Here's how this event works!"
    If cash in medals
                      Shop Processing
                      Helmet                      30m
                      (If using Numbered Switches, turn switch #y OFF)
                      Self Switch C (or switch #Z) on

    And so on. At least, that's how you could do it in VX, so... I hope it helps.

    • Well I was planning that in the game there is exactly 100 "medals" and you must collect them all to get all items, coz that guy gives every item just one time. And it would be nice that guy remembers how much "medals" I have given to him.

    So the "medal collector" is just collector not merchant.

    • Oh. Well I thought it was OK... it serves the purpose, anyway, since the "currency" the player uses for this dude is the medal. But anyhow-


    So you want a system where the collector gives rewards depending on the medals in the party's posession, with no shop screen? Hmmm. Lemme work on that, but I'm sure it has everything to do with saving the number of medals as a variable somehow and working that into a conditional branch.
    Lemme see what I can do for you later, I don't have a REALLY good knowledge of using variables and the software isn't in front of me right now.

    • So if I have 30 medals and I give them to him I get sword, shield and helmet. and then I only have to collect 5 medals to get hamster. Savvy?

    • Savvy.  The tough nuts to crack are going to be the collector automatically knowing how many medals you've given, but I'll see what I can do. I may not give you the best event but I'll try.

    • Just use variables. Each time you get a minimedal, increase a certain variable by one. Then, all you have to do is have the exchange event check how much is in that variable.

    For example,

    Text: Hi, I'm the minimedal guy!

    Choices: Exchange medals, leave

    If Exchange medals

    Conditional Branch: Variable "minimedals" >= 100
     
       Give ultra sword

       Else
      Conditional Branch: Variable "minimedals" >= 50

       Give not quite so ultra sword

      Else

       Text: You don't have enough medals!

    Branch end


    You'd have to add in some switches so you can't get one item more than once, but that's the basic gist of it.

    Anyhoo, here's a demo of the event system. Math was involved, and I'll have you know numbers make me cry. 

    Enjoy, and I really hope it helps!
