[XP] Need to force equipment list to update.

[craud]

Hi,

I'm currently working a system where a character's class is determined by their "accessory" equipment. I did this very simply by adding:

@actor.class_id = @actor.armor4_id + 1

To the section of Scene_Equip headed "Frame Update (when item window is active)". This works in the sense that your class alters based on the accessory you have equipped (no accessory means class #1, accessory #1 means class #2 etc.) and it removes incompatible equipment. However, the list of what equipment is newly available doesn't itself update until you've equipped and de-equipped another item.

eg. If a character is a Knight and they have a sword, then they equip the Wizard class which uses staffs but not swords, the sword will be removed but the staff won't appear as an equippable item until you equip and then de-equip something else, at which point it appears normally.

I know I need to force the game to refresh or update something once you equip an item, I'm just not sure what or how to go about it.

For reference, here's the section of Scene_Equip which I altered, showing where the new line was added.

def update_item
    # If B button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
      # Play cancel SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
      # Activate right window
      @right_window.active = true
      @item_window.active = false
      @item_window.index = -1
      return
    end
    # If C button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      # Play equip SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.equip_se)
      # Get currently selected data on the item window
      item = @item_window.item
      # Change equipment
      @actor.equip(@right_window.index, item == nil ? 0 : item.id)
      @actor.class_id = @actor.armor4_id + 1
      # Activate right window
      @right_window.active = true
      @item_window.active = false
      @item_window.index = -1
      # Remake right window and item window contents
      @right_window.refresh
      @item_window.refresh
      return
    end

Thanks to anyone who can help.

You have to refresh every window item.
Replace these lines

      @actor.equip(@right_window.index, item == nil ? 0 : item.id)
      @actor.class_id = @actor.armor4_id + 1

With this

      old_armor4 = @actor.armor4_id
      @actor.equip(@right_window.index, item == nil ? 0 : item.id)
      if @actor.armor4_id != old_armor4
          @actor.class_id = @actor.armor4_id + 1
          @item_window1.refresh
          @item_window2.refresh
          @item_window3.refresh
          @item_window4.refresh
          @item_window5.refresh
      end
