Summary

If you're using com-sho's Japanese-style battlers, numakara (沼から現れた) sideview battlers, or your own graphics. You probably don't want Weapons to show during sv-battle when you already have a weapon on sideview actors. { "lightbox_close": "Close",

Requirements: You may be required to use image editing program or not. There's 3 methods available

1. For [SV] Attack Motions, right-click on item on the list.

2. Then set Image to None- that item won't show on the screen.

While there are others on the list, it's not necessary to set all to none if you don't use them.

2. Edit image with graphics editor or paint program

3. Select entire image with Ctrl+A then Delete, it should look transparent

4. File tab > Save - repeat process for other Weapons

When your game loads into sideview battle, Weapons are invisible.

|| Question

Does deleting Weapons work?
By default- You get Loading Error. (Deleting is not recommended)

Alternatively, you can use a plugin that I wrote. Without image editing

NoWeapons.js
For customized sideview graphics that don't use Weapons

ImageManager ignores Weapons graphic in img/system without weapon loading.

Crediting me is not necessary

Code: 
Scene_Boot.loadSystemImages = function() {
    // ImageManager.reserveSystem('Weapons1');
    // ImageManager.reserveSystem('Weapons2');
    // ImageManager.reserveSystem('Weapons3');
};

Sprite_Weapon.prototype.loadBitmap = function() {
};
