Randomise Items Gained

Zeak6464 · Oct 16, 2015

This will randomize items so any items gained will be randomized even key-items

Code:

def Kernel.pbReceiveItem(item,quantity=1,plural=nil)
  if item.is_a?(String) || item.is_a?(Symbol)
    item=getID(PBItems,item)
  end
 [COLOR="Red"] item=rand(PBItems::CUSTOMITEM)+1 if $game_switches[RANDOMIZER][/COLOR]

Notes:
1.) I'm fairly certain that pbRecieveItem is used by a lot more than item balls. NPCs and possibly even the item shop. Which means the player would think they're buying a potion and instead get a Cherish Ball. Maybe you can play off that and make shops sell "???" in Randomizer?
2.) This still includes every single item, even Key Items. Considering some items are needed in order to progress, you need a way to say "this item get isn't randomized ever"
3.) This code will only work if CustomItem is an item in items.txt

This one still needs some fine-tuning IMO, but I don't even know where to begin.

Also, it randomizes ALL items gained, not just the ones written as a number. The one you wrote originally was the one that had that issue (the one that had elsif)

I found something I used a long time ago, maybe you can make better use than I ever will.
I added some comments in-case you'd like to understand it:

Code:

# Use this as a 'Conditional Branch' script.
# Just call 'randomItemBall' or 'randomItemBall(5)' etc.
def randomItemBall(qty=1) # qty = quantity, will always equal 1 unless told different
  ret=false
  item=rand(PBItems.maxValue) # random number within the items.txt
  # Now check if the item is:
  # 1. an item
  # 2. not a key item
  # 3. not a TM
  # 4. not a HM
  while (item==0 || pbIsKeyItem?(item) || 
          pbIsTechnicalMachine?(item) || pbIsHiddenMachine?(item))
    item=rand(PBItems.maxValue)
  end
  ret=Kernel.pbItemBall(item,qty) # Add the item
  return ret # return true or false
end

Edit accordingly, but remember, this will still return MasterBalls and other "non" key items.
