Common Questions

[hitogoroshi]

This is sort of an add-on to "Answers to Basic RPGM3 Questions." I know I'm not the only one answering RPGM3 questions in this forum, so I though I'd ask if there are any questions you find yourself answering a lot.
Thanks much.

Re: Common Questions

What is/how do you use/explain a variable. As an adjunct, what can you do with variables?

Really, Hito, just change the title of this topic to, "Common Questions pertaining to variables"

x = ???

VARIABLE.

Re: Common Questions

I've seen lots of questions regarding the illegal/japanese makers and all the confusion with the differences in numbering.

As a side note, I don't understand the trouble people have understanding variables.

Re: Common Questions

Neither do I. I picked up the game, read the manual once, turned it on, and was immediately able to effectively use variables.

Re: Common Questions

Exactly, its not like its rocket science! To be fair, I'm a programmer, so understanding variables is as easy as breathing air to me. But even so, its not a very tough concept to grasp.

To Hitogoroshi:

I have looked through lots of pages of threads, now I lost something because when I saw it last, I didn't need it, and now that I do need it I don't remember where it was.

I am working on Field Editing, I have a river and I need a bridge to cross it. I canot figure out how.

So:

Do you either

1) Know the answer yourself off the top of your head or

2) Know where that thread went or how to search for something across all pages of threads?

Thank you in advance

Edit: I am so sorry, I found it just now, it was in the Tricks to Spice up your Game links, but I swore I saw it in a thread of it's own. Anyway, here is the answer for anybody who comes after me with a similar problem:

#31
A BRIDGE IN A FIELD - Pagerron

Using the "square selection" and the "spherical landform" in the field editor, create a landscape with these heights

X=84
O=78

XXXXOXXXX
XXXXOXXXX
XXXXOXXXX
XXXXOXXXX
XXXXOXXXX

Make sure that the field's elevation is set to "Average"

In the layout editor for that field, create a decorative event using the "lumber" graphic and place it from one side of the river to the other.
Then lower the "lumber" to -60.

Then copy the decorative "lumber" and without moving it, press the L1 button three times, rotating it. You may have to make a little adjustment
to get it to look just right, but it looks like a bridge, with two raised wooden walls on the side and a wooden walkway in between.

Then create two invisible events set to touch (which fit nicely between the two raised bridge sides) - one on each side of the bridge to warp back and forth easily.

Going to try it now, I will post the results! Thank you Pagerron for this, I would be lost without it.
