Help with script branching and variables

[Whataface2]

I'm trying to make a script that would allow the player to trade one item for another.

I know how to use a script branch with my own variable. What I can't figure out is how to set up a script branch that would only activate when the player had a certain item.

The other question I have is how do you use the button variable.

I would like to have it so the player would push a button and the NPC Say would you like to trade that apple for my pear?

well... hm. im not sure if you can make a script branch condition like that (i turned on my game and messed around a bit, but all i could find was the internal variables involving item possession, #117 and around there), but one way is to add a second page in your event. there is a specific option to set an activating condition to the player possessing a certain item.

Thanks I'll have to give it a try later. Work is crazy right now.

It is done by selecting item in the condition section of the event, right?

yep. thats it.

If this is in the correct forum, then couldn't you just make the item non-droppable/sellable and change a flag when the player aquires the item?

I never thought of doing that. I'll have to give it a try.

cool

Thanks for all of your help. I finally got the event to work. I decided to set it as a talk event rather then a button push. I decided to use a variable to work the event. This way I can add different items to trade later on.
