even coding and variables

[dragons hero]

ok i'm I just got the game a few days ago, and I'm stuck at making an event that only give money, exp etc.. once and then the second time you get nothing, sometimes damage, the manual doesn't help any. and i have no clue what variables do or are, or even how to use them. any help is greatly needed, or even some tutorial videos or websites.

Hey Dragons Hero,

Welcome to the Pavilion! Hope you like it here.

Well, about that first event you were talking about. To create an event that first gives you money/experience and then afterwards does nothing or causes you damage, you need to create an event with two modes. In the first mode, program the money/experience and at the end of the code program "modify mode" to mode 2. Then in the second mode of the event, program the damage to happen.

Here's a sample event dealing with modes if it helps.

As far as variables, yes they can be really frustrating at first.

Here's a variable sample event that may help.

If that doesn't help much, try searching for the word "varialbles" (with the extra "L"). That will bring up a couple of good threads dealing with variables as well.

Also make sure to check Hitogoroshi's Answers to Basic RPG Maker 3 Questions (which you'll see stickied in the top section of this forum)

Have fun with RPG Maker 3!

As Pagerron said, the only thing you have to do is, in the event screen of the NPC, add a mode. Switch back to the first mode. In the event screen, add the events that give you money and exp and at the bottom, click New - property control - Modify mode. Select the NPC you are using and modify to mode number 2. Return to the previous screen. Swithc to mode number 2. Add the events you wish there.
