Item that turns on a Switch?

[Kaon]

Is it possible to define an item to turn a switch on when used from the bag?

Example: Item 1 is used and it triggers Switch 32 to turn on/off.

A simple item handler would do

ItemHandlers::UseInField.add(:ITEM1,proc{|item|  
   Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} used the {2}!",$Trainer.name,PBItems.getName(item)))
   $game_switches[32] = !$game_switches[32]
})

Ah, thanks! But how do I make it so it's indicative of whether or not that switch is on?

Ex: "Player turned ITEM1 on!" and "Player turned ITEM1 off!"

Also, how do I make it so it's a key item that shows the "use" option? I already defined it as "useable outside of battle" in items.txt and yet, for some reason, it has "deselect" instead of "use" in the command prompts...

Apologies for my ignorance.

Try this

ItemHandlers::UseInField.add(:ITEM1,proc{|item|
   state = ($game_switches[32]) ? "off" : "on"
   Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} turned {2} {3}!",$Trainer.name,PBItems.getName(item),state))
   $game_switches[32] = !$game_switches[32]   
})

Chances are that you didn't add the UseFromBag Part. (It's the top part.)
you pretty much do the exact same thing. Except exchanging the UseInField with UseFromBag.
(You need both. UseFromBag and UseInField.)

ItemHandlers::UseFromBag.add(:ITEM1,proc{|item|
   state = ($game_switches[32]) ? "off" : "on"
   Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} turned {2} {3}!",$Trainer.name,PBItems.getName(item),state))
   $game_switches[32] = !$game_switches[32]   
})

Or based on your Item do this instead of the above:

ItemHandlers::UseFromBag.add(:ITEM1,proc{|item| next [COLOR=Red]2[/COLOR]})

The red number should be replace by your needs

• 0 if the item was not used.
• 1 - The item was used, and the Bag screen stays open.
• 2 - The item was used, and the Bag screen is closed.
• 3 - The item was used, and it was consumed.
• 4 - The item was used, it was consumed, and the Bag screen is closed.

So, do I use both of the codes you gave? Or do I have to merge them into one somehow? I'm not quite sure how I should integrate them into PokemonItemEffects.

Did you try reading this [https://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Item_effects]
It might help you.

The UseInField part has to be put to the other UseInField Handlers and the UseFromBag part has to be put to all the other UseFromBag Handlers.
No Idea how I should explain that, I thought it was pretty obvious.

Oh, okay, looks like I did put it in correctly but I was a goof and totally misspelled the UseFromBag handler.

It works like a charm, thanks!
