Non-noob question

I know what variables are and all that good stuff, but how many are you allowed? Also, how many strings/character arrays/whatever you want to call them are there? Finally, I assume there is a random number generator, right? Thanks

1. 16 Internals, and ...80 shared, I think.
2. I do not understand the question.
3. I don't think so, sorry.

A string is a psuedo-variable that lets you store a word.

Re: Non-noob question

Since the strings are "Thing Names" (People and Place names too), I guess you have as many strings as you have People, Places and Things.

I believe the limit is 3,000.

As for the rest, you can use characters' specific variables for purposes that have nothing to do with said character, so there are many variables available... you just may need to get creative and keep complex notes if you want to use them all.

And Hitogoroshi is correct. There is no random number generator. The best you can do is increase and decrease a specific variable by differing amounts in as many events as you can. That way whenever you need a number that one will likely be different from player to player. Example: with every warp script increase it by 2. With every conversation increase it by 1. At random points do different operations.

You'll need to get hoopy to figure out what to do with this number. Probably a formula that uses the greater than / less than system to start and moves on to more. It can get messy.

I haven't said it for at least a week, so here goes... If you want more customization and have good logic skills, try RPGM2!

I hope that helps.

Peace

Re: Non-noob question

Number of Variables is equal to the number of places and people in your game multiplied by 16 and add 60. (60 shared, 16 for each person or place or event)

If this is wrong, it's because I like RPGM2 much more.
