Weapons Swap VX + ACE

by Kyonides

Introduction

The title makes it extremely clear, but just case here we go: your party members can now swap their weapons at any given time. It will do it either BY FORCE or Lazily (by running a couple of internal checks).

Just call:
Force? is a placeholder for true or false.

Code:

$game_party.swap_weapons(Force?, FirstPosition, SecondPosition)

...and it will let you make the change swiftly!

It will ignore your request if for ANY REASON you provide it with identical positions.

Just in Case you are using VX or VX ACE:

It does NOT ALTER the Actor's Two Swords Style or Dual Wield feature at all.

Weapons Swap Skill VX + ACE

by Kyonides

Introduction

This is the natural outcome of implementing the Weapons Swap script:

to let     Your Foes Use It Against You!     

The Scripts

VX Script

Code:

# * Weapons Swap Skill VX * #
#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   2023-01-14

# - It's free as in beer. - #

# Just leave the following comment in the Skill's Note Box:
#   <weapon swap>

class Game_Battler
  WEAPON_SWAP_REGEX = /<weapon swap>/i
  alias :kyon_weapon_swap_skill_skill_fx :skill_effect
  def apply_weapon_swap(user, skill)
    if skill.note[WEAPON_SWAP_REGEX] and user.is_a?(Game_Enemy)
      clear_action_results
      heroes = $game_party.member_ids
      return @skipped = true if heroes.size < 2
      pos1 = self.index
      pos2 = rand(heroes.size)
      result = $game_party.swap_weapons(pos1, pos2)
      return @missed = nil
    end
  end

  def skill_effect(user, skill)
    kyon_weapon_swap_skill_skill_fx(user, skill)
    apply_weapon_swap(user, skill)
  end
end

VX ACE Script with Enemy's Skill

NOTE: VX Ace will always attempt to remove the forbidden weapons as stated in the comments embedded in my script. What I did was creating a WS state to prevent it from doing it while in battle. Once you go back to the map, you will find your weapons in your party's inventory.

Code:

# * Weapons Swap & Skill ACE * #
#  Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#  2023-01-15

# - It's free as in beer. - #

# * Script Call - #

# - Swap Weapons - Force? Options: true or false - #
#  $game_party.swap_weapons(Force?, PartyIndex1, PartyIndex2)

# - Define the WS Skill by leaving a comment in the Skill's Note Box:
#  <weapon swap force>  or  <weapon swap lazy>

# - Create a Weapons Swap State in the States DB and Set the value of the
#  STATE Constant accordingly. It is found in the KWSwap Module.

# * Warning * #

#  VX ACE will ALWAYS attempt to REMOVE unequippable weapons whenever ANY
#  State Change or Buff or Debuff and other alterations takes place.

module KWSwap
  STATE = 26
  REGEX = /<weapon swap (force|lazy)>/i
end

class Game_BaseItem
  attr_accessor :item_id
end

class Game_Battler
  alias :kyon_weapon_swap_skill_item_user_fx :item_user_effect

    heroes = $game_party.member_ids

    success = $game_party.swap_weapons(force, pos1, pos2)

      $game_actors[hero2].add_state(KWSwap::STATE)
      add_state(KWSwap::STATE)
