[Scripting Question] How do I make my player change its sprite as soon as it receives an item?

[CrypticMeriter]

So I'm trying to script that as soon as my player receives a mask, they'll put it on and keep it on for the rest of the game. How do I script that? Thank you.

You can achieve that using player outfits. You can read more (broken link removed).

Have you tried the "set move route" command and "change graphic" without anything else? I think that's the easiest way.

Unsure if my answer on this has changed, as I haven't tried recently, however I believe this method doesn't work with the player graphic.

Edit: This changes the player charset, until the player attempts to run, surf, bike, dive, fish, etc.

Hmmmm, well my method works well for cutscenes and stuff, I suppose. In that case, the only method left is $Trainer.outfit=1 (or any number) with proper file modification. Like this guy here:
