FEATURES
Allows you to make any event a storage container and able to add or remove items from it with a script call. By default the containers are empty, but you can populate a container any time you choose with script calls.
A bit of a warning, I have no idea the limitations of storing data and would be interested to know if any issues arose from storing hundreds of items across hundreds of event containers.

Galv's RPG Maker Scripts & Plugins 
Is there any chance of this being made to work with Yanfly’s New Game + script? I really like using personal storage in the player’s home but when starting a new round, the items vanish.
Try adding this below both scripts. It will only let you keep one event’s storage, which you will put the event id and map id of the one you want in the first bit of the script.
module DataManager STORE = [15,1] # event_id, map_id class << self alias galv_storage_ngp_reset_party ngp_reset_party end def self.ngp_reset_party saved_container = $game_party.container[STORE] galv_storage_ngp_reset_party $game_party.container[STORE] = saved_container end end # DataManagerIn each script itself? Or in a new script section?
Nevermind, I got it. It works like a charm. ^_^
A new script section below the other two.
Hey Galv, just tried to set up your script (1.4) on my copy of RPG Maker VX Ace and I keep getting this error message, pretty sure I’ve set up the rest of it right (Using the 1.3 version doesn’t give an error, but doesn’t let me use a container either). There are no other custom scripts running.
Image of the error: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dbcl3EYgidw/UUOrdN5o7rI/AAAAAAAAHCQ/lAAltNPVbYM/s574/MultipleItemsError.jpg
Make sure you put it below Materials and above Main. Make sure you start a new game after you install it and not load a save. Make sure you copy/pasted the entire code
I can’t replicate the error – when exactly does it happen? Also if you still cant get it to work with the above, backup your project and start removing other scripts while testing to see if it’s a script conflict.
I tried re-copy and pasting the script in by manually highlighting it all, instead of ctrl+a’ing all the code, it works now =D Thanks!
Hi, I have a question about the script.
In c_add, for example, guards at $game_temp.contents the ID of the event and map.
Then check out the object type (weapon, item or armor) and save in @item the object. And finally, this:
if $game_party.container[$game_temp.contents][@item]. nil?
$game_party.container[$game_temp.contents][@item] = amount
else
$game_party.container[$game_temp.contents][@item] += amount
end
It saves the amount of that object.
But I don’t understand this:
$game_party.container[$game_temp.contents][@item]
How work that expression?
$game_party.container is list of all containers in your game.
$game_temp.contents stores which map and event id of the container you are currently working with.
$game_party.container[$game_temp.contents] is how to reference the currently container.
$game_party.container[$game_temp.contents][@item] references an item within the current container being worked with.
This is an old script of mine, I have plans to re-write it one day.
Thank you very much.
But container is a hash, right? He saved in “attr_accessor :container” and initiate in the method “def init_containers”, with “@container = {}”
I have seen many examples of hash and all are of the type:
{1 => 2, 2 => 4, 3 => 6}
And if I read 1, this return 2. If I read 2, this return 4. If I read 3, this return 6. Right?
But I don’t know how is the hash you created. How can work with objects stored in the hash? For example, get them in an array, remove or introduce new objects. Because methods like “def take_all” in the class “Scene_Container” do wonder why, but I don’t understand what you do.
And another question, so if when there is nothing in the container, I want to remove it, would I have to delete from $game_party.container?
Thank you very much again.
Maybe if you tell me what you are trying to do or what the problem is with the script, I can help.
If you are using this to learn from – don’t… as I wrote this early on in my days of learning ruby and there are better ways to do it.
I’m doing a custom inventory using grids, like in the game Diablo.
I’m starting with this, but I studied IT and I know programming. The problem is the lack of documentation in the API of RGSS.
I created the window with the grid and cursor movement. Also captures notetag of the objects. I was using your script to create containers of different grids to open events on the map. I need too each character has his inventory, but that’s another story.
The idea is to store the items in a list or array, with their RPG::BaseItem notetag, because in those notetag are the height and width of the image, calculated to fit in the grid, and those coordinates I used to create a table.new with the same size as the grid container, and in that table.new be adding all objects in the list o array.
I don’t know if I have explained well, english isn’t my first language.
Okay, well – I recommend asking for help in an rpgmaker forum or somewhere as this blog is just to post my scripts and if anyone has trouble with my script, I will try to help. But I won’t teach scripting here, sorry :)
Ok, but I want to ask you questions about the script, I used to understand and learn RGSS3.
For example, at the end of method c_add write:
p ($game_party.container[$game_temp.contents][@item.name])
and console shows me nil. If I put:
p ($game_party.container[$game_temp.contents][@item.price])
The console shows me nil too.
I’m testing adding an axe at the event:
c_add (“weapon”, 1,1,0,0)
It should show “axe” and price “100”.
I do not want to bother you, if you think that the right is ask elsewhere I will.
Thank you for your time.
$game_party.container[$game_temp.contents][@item] actually returns the value of the hash. (the number of that item), not the item itself.
@item is the key in the hash.
$game_party.container[$game_temp.contents] will return a hash of all items in the container referenced.
But as I said (and I don’t mean to be rude) – this was written a while ago when I was still learning ruby. Its not the best way to do it and therefore I do not recommend you learning from it.
I think you should ask somewhere else for better implementation ideas as… like I said last post… I don’t want to teach you ruby in my blog comments… :(
Okay, thank you very much for the help and sorry for the inconvenience.
Your response raises new questions me, but I ask in the forum rpgmakervxace.net. :)
I can store the items but they wont show up when I go to remove them???
There’s not much I can do to help with that info…
Please read the instructions carefully and compare with the demo to make sure you set it up correctly.
Also duplicate your project and then try removing other scripts you have that may conflict with it.
This script is /awesome/. I just want to say that straight away. My only complaint, which is mainly because I saw your Item/Bank script is that there can’t be gold storage with this script.
I think I have an eventing work around (basically have the player convert gold in units of 100, 1000, 10000, etc. into items (small bag of gold, medium bag, large bag, etc.). So they can store it that way, but is there anyway you could make it so it would allow for gold storage that are disconnected? Basically like morrowind chests/stumps, except the person can store gold. If not, no big deal. This is great, so are most of your others.
If you have an eventing way, that’s awesome. I’m not currently doing requests or changes to my scripts as I am too busy, though, sorry
Hey Galv, this is amazing piece of work, but can I suggest something? Maybe note tags for items, like for example and then in storage you can decide which note tags can be stored? Would be cool for storages for foods only, etc.
Great idea, however I am very busy and not doing script changes at the moment
I’m having some problems and I have no idea how to fix it.

I don’t know what your script “This is a chest thing” does. My multiple storage containers script has 1080 lines and the error refers to line 1308 of whatever that script is.
Here’s a list of things to try to error trap
Yeah I got it to work, just had to start the game over again. Thanks for the error page though.
Hi Galv, there is a way to add a random item in the container? example: items between 1 and 10 ou armors between 3 and 27
You could use eventing and variables. I recommend asking in a forum to learn about using variables and random numbers :)
It’s amazing. I was trying “random(20,28)”… but the correct is “rad(8)+20″… thanks a lot Galv
Hi Galv, this script is fantastic! I love it so much and absolutely don’t want to remove it from my game, but I also really want to add a different item capacity to the game. Yanfly’s Adjust does exactly that, but the two scripts don’t work together, this problem also occurs with your Item/Bank Storage script.
Script ‘$YanFly. Capacity’ line 521: NoMethodError occured.
undefined method ‘max_limit’ for nil:NilClass
Is there any way this can be fixed?
Unfortunately I do not have time to look into make those two plugins compatible
Alright then, thanks anyways, I’ll try to look around for a solution and post it here if I find anything useful for those who have the same issue.
Hello, I don’t know if anyone has commented this, or if you even still browse this part of the site (RPG Maker Vx Ace is kinda old, I understand that-) but I found an interesting conflict with this script and one of your other ones; Your “Magic Shards” script seems to be incompatible with THIS script. I keep getting an argument error on line 266 (Wrong number of arguments) upon opening one of these containers you can make with the script. It seems that it has something to do when this script attempts to make a window for the storage. Me, along with some other rpg maker vx ace users are quite baffled by this and have no idea how these two scripts conflict. I’ll post updates on anything we find, but if you have any insight on this matter, please let me know when it’s convenient for you. (take your time-)
I had a real quick look and found that I had used the same name for info windows in each plugin that caused the conflict. I updated the plugin text on https://galvs-scripts.com/2013/03/24/magic-shards/ (but not in the demo)
Hopefully it works because it was a real quick look… haha
