Re: Bare with me

Hey, welcome to the Pavilion! Please, ignore Duel's shenanigans. He's an odd fellow. As for help with variables, we have a number of people who are quite well-versed in RPG Maker 3, so I'm sure you can easily find help.

Hi there.

Here's some stuff.

Re: Bare with me

we don't have a "variable section", exactly. in addition to the tutorials page Obright linked to above, we also have workshop forums for each of the RPG Makers. they're a great resource for stuff like that.

oh, wait. there's a variable tutorial on that page. I guess we do have a variable section.

here's a link to the RPG Maker 3 Workshop forum.

Re: Bare with me

This is an area to introduce yourself and/or tell us a bit about yourself.


If you have specific questions, please follow the links in the above posts. Read them, and try to understand them. If you are having trouble, please make a thread in the RPGM3 Workshop part of this forum. When you make a thread, please try to be clear what exactly it is you are trying to do.


All I can tell from what you wrote is you have 2 boys in a game, you are using a yes/no command, and think you need to use variables. Unfortunately, we cannot help you until you tell us exactly what it is you are trying to do.


So again, in this order:

1) Click the links. Read them and try to understand what it says.
2) If you are having trouble understanding, please do not ask questions in this forum. Use the RPGM3 Workshop to ask specific questions.
3) Please be a little clearer with what you are trying to do. If we understand what it is you are trying to accomplish, maybe we can help you.
4) Welcome to the RPG Maker Pavilion.

Re: Bare with me

You need to pick one of the 60 main variables to be for that circumstance, and it helps to write down each variable and what it controls for your own reference.

Let's say you want to use 'variable 1' to track this.

Now, in the 'event codes' for the first character you would need to have a Value-Conditional branch. That is what will use the variable. So add one of those, a 2-way one in this case.

Then, set the condition for the VC branch to be 'if variable 1 = 1'.

Now, in the first part of the VC branch, put a message box saying something like "You haven't found _______ yet!" (variable 1 = 0)

In the second part, have a message box saying something like "You found him! Now we can go on!" or whatever. (variable 1 = 1)

NOW, in the second NPC, add the event code 'Control > Modify Shared Variable', and set the variable to be modified as '1'. Set the number to modify the variable to '1', save and you're done.

Now when you talk to the first guy, he'll tell you about the other guy and KEEP telling you to go find him. Once you've talked to the other guy, variable 1 will become '1', and the first one will go to message 2.

Re: Bare with me

You do not need to open zip folders or anything. Just click the links Obright and Valkysas posted above, and read the information.


And you CAN ask more questions...it's just preferable if you do it in the RPGM3 Workshop area.

Re: Bare with me

you're new, you don't have to apologize. it takes time to get into the rhythm of a new forum. don't worry about it.

There are only a few tutorials that require downloads, and the variable guide isnt one of them (I think you got it mixed up with the sample event. honest mistake, as I didnt specify exactly which variable link on the tutorial page to follow). here's a direct link to the text guide: http://www.pavilionboards.com/forum/...ad.php?t=15700

it's long, and may be confusing. so pace yourself. Obright's info up there should get you started though.
