Warning for RPG Maker MZ Users

Warning.jpg

If you are using RPG Maker MZ and VisuStella MZ, the following code may or MAY NOT work as this Tips & Tricks is made for RPG Maker MV. VisuStella MZ is NOT responsible if this Tips & Trick does not work because the code base for RPG Maker MV and RPG Maker MZ are different and the code base between Yanfly Engine Plugins and VisuStella MZ is even more drastically different.

Instructions

Follow video instructions.

You can grab the copy/paste code here:

Place the following code into your Steal Item skill’s notebox. Change the value to reflect the settings to match your game.
<After Eval>
// Check if the user is an enemy
if (user.isEnemy()) {
  // Calculate the success rate
  var successRate = 0.50;
  // Check if the success rate passes
  if (Math.random() < successRate) {
    // Make an empty item pool
    var items = [];
    // Get the party's item total
    var total = $gameParty.items().length;
    // Loop through each item
    for (var i = 0; i < total; ++i) {
      // Get the currently looped item
      var item = $gameParty.items()[i];
      // Check if the item type ID isn't a key item
      if (item.itypeId !== 2) {
        // Add the item to the pool
        items.push(item);
      }
    }
    // Check if the item pool is larger than 0
    if (items.length > 0) {
      // Get a random index
      var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * items.length);
      // Get a random item
      var item = items[random];
      // The party loses 1 of that item
      $gameParty.loseItem(item, 1);
      // Make the text stolen for the item
      var text = user.name() + ' stole ' + item.name + ' from the party!';
      // Play a sound effect
      SoundManager.playEquip();
      // Create the stolen item with a 50% rate to steal it back
      var stealableItem = {
        type: 'item',
        id: item.id,
        rate: 0.50,
        isStolen: false,
        isDrop: false
      }
      //  Add the stealable item to the enemy's pool
      user._stealableItems.push(stealableItem);
    }
  // Otherwise
  } else {
    // Make a failed message
    var text = user.name() + ' failed to steal an item!';
    // Play a sound effect
    SoundManager.playBuzzer();
  }
  // Get the wait time
  var wait = 90;
  // Center the text
  text = '<CENTER>' + text;
  // Display the text.
  BattleManager.addText(text, wait);
}
</After Eval>

Enjoy!
