Regarding Bag Items...

[Shadowhen]

First off let me say, I was extremly pleased to see my account still works. I dont think I have posted since before 3 came out...anyway, I have been cranking away on this game on and off for several *cough* years, and there is a problem with which I have to this point been able to ignore, but cannot any longer.
I am trying to figure out a way to remove an item from the parties possession that is not in the bag. It seems as though the remove item command will remove said item from the bag, but will not bother with items that are "on" a party member.
I'm fairly well versed in this game, as I've been messing with it for so long, but still tend to overlook a lot of fairly obvious things... about a year ago i figured out that the parties money had its own variable, and I am currently tinkering with a magic formula based on luck...if that gives you any idea on my level of mastery...it's really all over the place.
I'm hoping it will be something fairly obvious, but failing that I at least hope it is possible. I hate having to bluff to keep the players from discovering a bug... put the stone in the bag before using it or...something BAD will happen!!!
Anyway, everyone here rocks and rpgm2 is the greatest hobby I have ever had. Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome back, and I don't remember you, as I came here right after RPGM3 came out. Congrats on your hard work on your game.



Oh, I don't have an answer for you.

Re: Regarding Bag Items...

I've been around since before RPG maker 2 came out but I can't say I remember you. I returned after a few years away myself, so I was also glad my account still works.

As to your question, in order to remove (or add) and item to a party member, you need to use the command "Members : Basic Info : Item" and not the "Party: Possessions: Item" command. Note that this means you need to know who in the party has the item in order to remove it. However, there is also the "Data : Target : Basic Info : Item" command which will remove (or add) an item from the currently active character (that last character that's done something, the party leader [in the case of party actions like walking], or the character that Variable 86: Member Number is currently pointing at).

I hope this will help you solve your problem.

Members : Basic Info : Item

Yep, that'll do. It will work out because there wil only ever be one of this particular item, so by having it do this and take it out of the bag, it should ensure that itll be gotten rid of. It still might be a problem if it is equipped, but I can either have the item remove eveyones accessories before removing it from each character or I can just make only one character able to equip it at all.
Thanks for the help.
As you can no doubt see from my number of messages, I was never very active on this board. I was much more active on the gamefaqs board back in the day...both for 2 and 3. Those boards are pretty dead now however.
