I can't post anything on the RPG Maker forum

I don’t know where to send this; I just want to post something on the RPG Maker forum, but I’m getting the following error: “You have insufficient privileges to reply here.”

What’s going on?

By RPGMaker forum, do you mean forums.rpgmakerweb.com? That forum has closed down, so you can’t post there anymore.

Oh, I see. In that case, I need some help. I’d love to be able to use an item from my inventory using commands, since I need certain items to be consumed automatically when a condition is met. I know there’s a way to make items disappear from the inventory, but that doesn’t work for me because it doesn’t trigger each item’s effects. Is there a plugin or script that would let me do this?

Glad the posting works now. Since this thread started as a posting problem, I think the item question would do better as its own thread in the RPG Maker section so people looking for the same thing can find it.

With that said, which RPG Maker are you on? The script call and plugin options change quite a bit between MZ, MV, and VX Ace.

Without a plugin, the closest I can think of is putting the item’s work into a Common Event and setting that Common Event as one of the item’s effects. Then when your condition is met you Call Common Event and pair it with Change Items to subtract one. The catch is that Change Items by itself won’t fire the item’s other effects like HP recovery, so those would need to live in the Common Event too.

If you let me know the version I can look into whether there’s a script call that runs the item’s real effects instead of rebuilding them.

Okay, I’ll create another post and reply to you there :+1:
