aright, i know how to use everything in rpg maker 3 except variable..i know this is a stupid question but how do they work and what do they do? iv asked be4 in different sites and **** and responses are still confusing i have pretty much a 7th grade gpa and dont understand math things easy
if anyone could tell me in terms a baby could understand and mabey a sample variable thing that i could add to my game and build from there

iv trie dto use them be4 but they make no sence to me like how does the game know that im trying to make variable 0 mean a certain item that a character is collecting or a certain level he is at the time ??

Re: variables

I only use internal variables. And i only use them to make events happen only once.
Say you have a storyteller set up so when you enter a town it triggers. Well unless you use variables it will keep playing over and over until something changes in the event. Well if you make it so that the event will only trigger under a certain condition, i use the "variable= specific value", this can be fixed. Heres an example you can add to your game.....

Make an invisible event somewhere in a town. Now when creating the event, under circumstances i think, make it a "when variable=specific value. Then choose your main character from the list and What you want this persons variable to equal when the event triggers. If this is your first one, make it zero. Then in the event code somewhere put a "increase internal variable". This makes it so that it wont equal that specific value you set, and it will only trigger once. Here what the code should look like...
(event...storyteller etc..)
(increase internal variable by1)
(end event)
You can add more but this is a good start.
