Using an Actors Name in and Item Script ~ Tested

Replace your Window_Item with the following script -

*forget it*

omg I love you, almost all of my characters names are changed when you meet them (cept one cuz he looks cool so I'm giving him a cool name)

Yes, I'm already using this code, thanks.

Minor error realized, don't use this version. Will update with version 2 VERY soon.

EDIT : Forget it, the dang thing doesn't want to work. It keeps doing weird stuff, it won't even let me use the $game_actors class. I tried many different ways, but none worked, it always errored at the Game_Actors class.

The following is written off the top of my head, I did something similar to it but it didn't work. BTW: I tried the gsub method, but I kept getting errors.

Code: [Select]

text = item.name
temp = text.split(/ /)
for i in 0..(temp.size)
if temp[i].include?('[') and temp[i].include?(']')
temp[i].delete!('[')
temp[i].delete!(']')
values = 0
for j in 'a'...'z'
if !temp[i].include?(j)
values += 1
end
end
if values == 26
temp[i] = $game_actors[temp[i].to_i - 1].name
end
end
end
text = ''
for j in 0..(temp.size)
text = text + ' ' + temp[j]
end

I seriously need help, it keeps telling me there's no method " name". It doesn't matter what class I use, $data_actors or $game_actors. I even defined a name method, and it gives me the same crap.

Code: [Select]

it sounded interesting....maybe bliz can help?

*copies the code* I can´t right now, but I´ll tell you tomorrow if I succeeded with something.

Okay, since I know Tsuno will add me into the credits of this script no matter what even if I only changed one line, I also added the same support for item/weapon/armor descriptions. Just use \n[X] where X is the ID of the character in the database. You can use it in Item names AND descriptions.

description works, doesn't work for the name tho

?_? It worked for me. Can somebody else test it?

good !thankyou!

Just wondering if you can some how make this a little bit better. I was wondering if you could make it so you could also show item and skill names by \i[X] and \s[X] commands.

That's for a message system while this is supposed to be used directly in names and description. I think Dubealex' AMS might support such commands like \i[X] and \s[X], but I can't tell for sure.

Well, if you could check for me, it would be most appreciated. I tried to edit the script myself, but to no avail.

Well, well, well...
It works on me with one 'condition' :
Need open the Item window first.
Then it's appear on the Equip screen...
Else...
It shows "\n[1]" on the Window_Help.
