Summary

Heyo everyone! Hope somone might be able to help me out here So RMMV came with the "ChangeWeaponOnBattle" plugin. I was looking forward to using this feature as it was adding a little bit of flexibility to the battle system (in my game different weapons do different attacks, so it's pretty nice to be able to switch mid-fight to be able to adapt to new situations). I stumbled upon an issue, though...

Heyo everyone!

So RMMV came with the "ChangeWeaponOnBattle" plugin. I was looking forward to using this feature as it was adding a little bit of flexibility to the battle system (in my game different weapons do different attacks, so it's pretty nice to be able to switch mid-fight to be able to adapt to new situations).

I stumbled upon an issue, though...

Let's take my "Knight" class for this example:

My knight can equip greatswords, swords, axes and maces as well as small and large shields. Equipping a greatsword locks the shield slot as it should be. Wielding any of the one-handed weapons enables the knight to equip a shield. Again, as it should be.

However... shields are not included in the list of equippable items on that change weapon screen. I can switch my weapons just fine and it locks/unlocks the shield slot the way it should be, but even if I switch from greatsword to sword I then can NOT equip as none of the shields in my inventory show up. Even worse! When selecting the shield slot it wants me to equip a weapon there. My knight can NOT dual wield. Again, even worse! Trying to actually equip a weapon in that shield slot DELETES the weapon from the player's inventory permanently. Like... wtf lol

I'm using most of Yanfly's plugins, including item and equip core. Could that cause the issue? Is this maybe a "known issue" with the plugin? Is my plugin outdated, has there been an update? Or am I just stupid in some way that I don't realize?^^

Would really appreciate any help in this matter

Thanks in advance to anyone trying to help!

Tara

EDIT:

a quick test with a new project without any plugins "revealed" that the issue really DOES stem from one of the plugins i'm using... anyone have an idea how to fix this?

EDIT2:

i identified yanfly's EquipCore plugin as the culprit... any known workaround?
