Disabling items in combat

[GrimTrigger]

So as part of my tournament arc for my game, I need participants to fight one on one matches. What I would like to have happen is find a way to disable the use of items in combat, so that it's based only on fighting strength. Is there a way to do this, as the DISABLE MENU doesn't affect battles from what I can tell.

Thanks in advance.

Well I'm not sure how to pull of the disable menu option... but I know of an alternative...

in here http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,3444.0.html

there's this item storage script made by Game_Guy that let's you dump your entire inventory in a chest...
you could probably make a forced event where the player drops it's inventory, proceeds to fight, then gets his/her items
back afterwards...

Assuming default battle system:

class Game_System
  attr_accessor :disable_items_in_battle
  alias init_disable_items initialize
  def initialize
    init_disable_items
    @disable_items_in_battle = false
  end
end

    @actor_command_window.disable_item(3) if $game_system.disable_items_in_battle
    disable_item_command
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update (actor command phase : basic command)

  def update_phase3_basic_command
    # If B button was pressed

      $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
      # Go to command input for previous actor

      return

    # If C button was pressed
