    Re: Equip any character with any weapon

    Couldn't quite get it to work. I want a "kunoichi" type character to use a great sword. Each time I switch character class back to where I want it, the weapon I want to use becomes unequipable. Do I equip the weapon on my character before switching classes or do I not equip at all?

      I had the same problem. Unfortuantly, you cannot have the character equip it before hand (through the People section). They can only equip it in-game.

        Aah, that answers my question. I'll have to try that later.

            Yes. I wanted other weapons for a different class. This is a most exiting find. Thankyou thatguy from agetecs forum and valk for bringing it to us.

              Re: Equip any character with any weapon

              My observations in using this trick, as I've been doing playtesting stuff.

              The character in question must have that weapon when they become playable, otherwise, it does not work.

              Also, it does not appear the first "improper" weapon you assign to a character can be discarded (probably can't be sold either), nor can any additional weapons of that type be discared either. So, well, these things can fill up your inventory.

              Like in my game I tried to have it where a certain character started off with no weapons, yet was able to use two types. No go. Then I discovered the improper weapons could not be discarded.

              Kind of bugs out my plans, so much so that I've considered just using the default weapons and go with it.
              Only way around the problem of a character starting out with a weapon when you don't want them to is making it seem like it's a weapon "skill" that does no damage...it can't be discarded anyways so they can't lose the skill. But still, you will have to deal with the fact that these improper weapons cannot be discarded, and since you have an inventory limit it can be a problem.

              So, there's some more info about it and all.

                Hmmm... that can be a bit of a problem, unless you want them to have that weapon through the whole game. At least that is how I've set to be in my game. Otherwhise, I love this cheat (I gave prince with the Excalibur like sword and the bellydancer can wield to swords thanks to it.)

                  Yep, that's pretty much what the trick is best suited for, a weapon your character will have throughout the game.

                  And really, if you do forcibly remove such a weapon or weapons during the game, the character loses the ability to use that type.

                    Little update with my playtesting.

                    Seems one assumption of mine was wrong...you can get rid of "improper" weapons through selling them. Can't discard them, but then you can't seem to discard "proper" weapons either.

                    The character does still need to have the weapon in their inventory when they become playable to use that type of weapon.

                    So my plans aren't bugged out after all.

                      Re: Equip any character with any weapon

                      I am sorry if this is repeated somewhere else in the pavilion, but I wanted to help those who may have the same problem I did. I never got the trick to work until I watched the video of how to do it, and I had tried what was originally posted here by Thatguy. I am gonna type exactly what to do for those who haven't gotten it to work yet, as there are a few more steps involved, and for those who don't know where to find the video and such.

                      Say you want to make a male warrior carry a katana:
                      1.)Make 2 classes. One that will be the actual class your character will be in the game (in this case, the warrior). Make the second class any katana wielding class(ninja or samurai).
                      2.)Make your character. Pick what you want them to look like and such, as you won't be matching 3-d class model to 3-D character model.
                      3.)Make your character's class the Katana wielding class, and DO NOT match the 3-d models when given the choice.
                      4.)Save changes and exit. Go to the weapon editor and make a katana with all the stats you want. Set it as equippable to your character.
                      5.)Go back to your character data and switch to the page where you can decide what starting items they have. Give them the katana in their inventory. DO NOT EQUIP THEM WITH IT!*****
                      6.)Switch back to the warrior class. Don't match 3-d model.
                      7.) Start or playtest your game. IN-GAME, equip the katana.
                      8) Boom, you got yourself a Hitori-Hanzo wielding warrior.

                      As far as not equipping this right away, like if you want to have it in a shop or whatnot, go through the same process, and set it equippable to you, change your class back, and then put the weapon in whatever shop you want in your story. You should be able to purchas it and equip it at the appropriate time in your game.

                      **As many have mentioned, if you tamper with the weapon settings, you have to repeat the process of switching class or they will not be equippable. If you alter your weapons, just repeat the process, and you are ready to go!

                      ****You can only have male weapons cross to different male characters, female characters only cross weapons with other female characters, and animals cross weapons with animals, which sucks, because they get jipped out of some really cool weapons. And since when could a female not use a katana or tonfas? (maybe i have watched too much kill bill, and played too much soul calibur 2, lol)

                      Hope this helps those who didn't get it to work yet, and stumbled accross this post

                        This really helps me out. Thanks and I will try it out.

                        By the way could we get a link to the actual video?

                          Omnislash, and those who need it, I do not know if this is mentioned somewhere else in the pavilion, but just in case, here ya go. There is a link to the video, which was filmed by ObilivianDragon (THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS, MAN!) that is at the RPG MAgazine website. Here is the link to the resources there:

                          http://www.rpgmmag.com/resources.php

                          -Then go to the bottom where there are the RPG Maker 3Faqs, and there is the video. AGain, tons of credit to Obliviondragon. without him, I wouldn't have gotten how to do this by the text versions alone on the pavilion. Thanks again man!

                            Yes thanks this is a really big help. I was on the verge of tossing RPGM3 out the window because of the crappy weapin to character limitation. A word to Agetec: NOTHING should ever have to be THAT godamned restrictive.

                              I still say though, what the hell is the reason women can't carry a katana? Since when do men not use spears? I dunno, but so much for having a really kick-ass female ninja...unless i want her to have a little knife or a great sword, which is what I wanted to use with someone else in my party, so there goes that. Most of all, I wish you could have fist-fighters...I always like to have a martial artist of some sort in my games. But..the tonfas are pretty cool. Just miss the customization of the other makers. By the way...what the hell is up with the townsman six? are those BOWLS he is attacking with? Oh no, look out! The old decrepit looking hippie is gonna smack you with a bowl! Oh, the terror!!
