RPG Maker MV - Left Handed Weapon is classed as Armour

Question

I have recently been using RPG Maker MV to set up some weapons and mechanics for my own RPG project. I created a new equipment type which I named 'L.Hand' for left hand. I want the player to be able to equip a weapon or shield in this slot however it has appeared as an armour slot, not a weapon slot.

If anybody knows how to fix this it would be much appreciated if you could let me know.

Many Thanks,

You seem to have renamed an armor type, only the first equipment type is a weapon slot. As far as I can tell, normal RPG Maker doesn't support having multiple weapons, you'll have to use a plugin.

Download this, and save it to the plugin section of your game's javascript files: Documents/Games/projectname/js/plugins/

Then go to the plugin section of the program and add the new plugin.

Afterwards, the actor's Initial Equipment section becomes useless, you will need to instead use the notes section to provide them.

<equip slot: Weapon>
<equip slot: Weapon>
<equip slot: Shield>
<equip slot: Head>
<equip slot: Body>
<equip slot: Accessory>

This should enable the use of multiple weapons, and you can remove one if you don't want that actor to have that equip slot.

Remember to do this to all of your actors, since it won't do this on its own.

I hope this has been helpful, hopefully you don't object to esoteric plugins like this.

Edit: look at the info for the plugin for further instructions and information.
