Blacksmith? Need help~

It's done, you'll just have to copy/paste the URL since freewebs seems to have disabled direct links to files. (It's in my post above, it was actually working last night but I guess I forgot about the no-direct-link thing.)

My method just has the hero unequip the weapon and equip a new one, nothing too difficult. Obviously, your weapons/names will probably be different. It still appears that the hero has one weapon that upgrades and changes names, but it's actually just 4 different weapons that are switched. (Well, 8 - four for BlueCube, four for NinjaGuy) Obviously this can be expanded to 10 or 40 weapons, as long as there's an upgrade branch for each weapon.

Don't forget that you need gold, it's in the pot. Just tell it what you want. The game has to "clean up" after unequipping your current weapon, otherwise you'd still have your old weapon in your inventory - you'll see that in the branches.

Anyway, if you need more explanation, just say so.

Bluecube... yur awesome... but i was thinking of some way of keeping the same name of the weapon... is there a way of doing that?

Yep, just name the upgraded weapons the same. Instead of Wood Sword becoming Steel Sword, you can name it Wood Sword as well. You probably want to name them different things for a while though, just for debugging. It would be difficult to try to upgrade Steel Sword to Steel Sword to Steel Sword 10 times and keep track of the thing. At least number them for your own sake, then go back and take out the numbers (Steel Sword 1, Steel Sword 2, etc.)

But if i name it the same... won't it equip the same previous weapon?

Nope, the game doesn't care what the weapon is called. It only cares about the item number, and whether or not that item is, in fact, a weapon. The name is only for the sake of the game.

I suggested numbering for this reason only. Having a big list of all-the-same-name weapons like this:


Looks like this when you're trying to assign weapons during events.



It's possible to keep track of which is which by the number of weapons from the top, but quite frankly that's just asking to screw up. Giving them a temporary number after the name will save you a lot of debugging time. Obviously, you don't want to put the number in when you're referring to the sword during a message ("Hey I just upgraded to Cube Sword 3!").

Any updates to the name (i.e. adding or erasing the number afterward) won't affect the events at all - the events are just pointing to the number before the item, not the name. You can rest assured that all 13 events you have referencing 0028:Cube Sword 8 will automatically change to 0028:Cube Sword once you remove the number.
