[RESOLVED]Items that only certain characters can use(not equipments)

[Spoofus]

hey yall, i have a question that may involve a script here so i post in the area(move if needed)

ok i was thinking for when Blizz-ABS 2.0 gets done i know i was going to use pets for my game..
so i was curious if there is a way to have items that raise stats like say foods you would feed the pet..
cause i was thinking of not having pets level up instead you use items to raise their stats and the same for the pet skills too...but for skills have different items specified for the pets and one for the hero,etc. that teaches them skills/spells

i mean i know you make the item in the database  but if you do it that way as far as i know all the characters
are able to use them.

I think this could be more easily done by linking each of these items to a common event.  Then, you can simply detect which actor you are using it on and handle appropriately.

i thought of that but im horrible with event scripting....i tend to mess them up somewhere and cant figure out where i went wrong..but i may try my hand at it

# ** Actor-specific Item Usability
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# by Fantasist
# Version 1.0
# 21-Nov-2008
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version History:
#
#   v1.0 - First release
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Description:
#
#     This scriptlet enables you to define which items can't be used by each
#   actor. For example, actor ID 4 (who maybe a robot) cannot use "Potion".
#   Similarly, actor ID 1 (Arshes) cannot use "Recharge Cell".
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Compatibility:
#
#    - Should be compatible with most scripts.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Instructions:
#
#   Place this below "Scene_Debug" and above "Main"
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configuration:
#
#     Scroll down and you'll find the configuration.
#
#   The main syntax is:
#
#     when ACTOR_ID then [IDs of all items which this actor CAN'T use]
#
#   Examples:
#
#     when 1 then [1, 2] # Arshes can't use "Potion" and "High Potion".
#
#     when 7 then [10, 11, 12] # Gloria can't use "Full Tonic", "Antidote" and
#                              # "Dispell Herb".
#
#   NOTE: For all actors without a configuration, items are usable by default.
#         So if Basil can use all items, then you don't need to configure for
#         ID 2.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Issues:
#
#     None that I know of.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#   Credits: Fantasist, for making this
#   Thanks: Spoofus, for requesting this
