Variable Creation Sample Event for RPG Maker 3

[Pagerron]

This is intended to be helpful to new owners of RPG Maker 3 who don't understand variables. It is a zipped Microsoft Works document. It should be able to be opened in Microsoft Word without a problem.

could a boss battle event be set up with the same step by step process?

[Pagerron]

yes, a boss battle could be set up using variables. Check the RPG Maker Workshop. Reply to my last message there, and we can all work on helping you together.

What are the internal variables. I dont understand all the numbers and stuff.

[Pagerron]

Hey bluggashnugga,

Internal variables are just variables that have you assign for individual people or towns or fields (as opposed to shared variables, which you only have 60 of).

Using variables is a way to keep track of progress in your game, and using them can help you set different things to happen depending on the player's progress in the game.

Did you try out the sample event I made here?
That might help you understand how to use variables, at least that's my hope. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

I can't edit my posts in this thread. I suggest that we continue this discussion in the RPG Maker Workshop. I'll answer your post there. This area is really just intended for submissions that people turn in.

I love you. *hugs* This is exactly what I was looking for! You get cookies!

got a totorial that dosent cost money?

[Valkysas]

what do you mean "cost money"? everything on this site is free.

[Pagerron]

raineth,
Hmmm...if you're referring to a variable sample that doesn't involve using treasure events (like the coins in this sample), try clicking on "Search" and typing the word VARIALBLES (yes, with the extra "L") That will bring up two threads that may give you some ideas for other uses of variables.

FYI - People sometimes look down on posting in older threads in order to needlessly bring them back to life.

I made it so seen comes up but it gets stuck in a loop how do I fix that.

[Pagerron]

I'm not sure if you mean that you made the sample event in the first post or an event of your own creation, but in general, here are a couple ways to get rid of a looping event.

1- Check to make sure that the event is not set to "auto" by mistake. Set it to "touch" or "button".

2- If it is SUPPOSED to be an "auto" event, create a second mode for it and at the end of the event code for mode 1, modify the event's mode to "2"

3-If you don't want to use modes, then simply turn the display of the event to "off" at the end of its event code. The event will disappear after it does what it is supposed to.
