[RMVX ACE] HOW TO MAKE ITEMS ONLY USABLE BY ONE CHARACTER

Sadly one of the features removed from 2K/3 and never added back in. But there are scripts and other work arounds.

In all fairness, the act of removal seemed to have started with XP, once scripts became the norm. VX managed to do it much worse. At least with Ace, they added back in things that should have never been removed to begin with while adding in a few more features.

But two things with 2K/3 I've always missed was indicating who can use what item, and having some control over how battles started (which helped to control ways to start a pre-emptive battle). Both can be done by scripts, but it was nice having them by default.

My current workaround to this issue is having that character be the only one who can use items.

However, I had a game idea where you have 4 party members and each one has their own items. Preferably, each character's respective item menu should not display anyone else's items. So in a way the items are like skills/spells (i.e. specific to that user) except they have a limited number of uses. Like, rather than give a person a fire spell and a healing spell and X magic points, they just get a certain number of both spells.
