Re: I Will Explain Variables

Pagerron, I don't think there is anything wrong with links at all. I just prefer copying and pasting it into the thread because when I see a big thread, and I'm reading every post, if there is a link somewhere in the middle, I skip it and say that after I finish reading the rest of the thread, I'll go back and follow the links. Except I never do. Most people don't do this probably, but in my opinion copying and pasting whatever it is you want to say into a post in the thread is a lot better.

(I really wish this thread was stickied so more people would see it)

Re: I Will Explain Variables

It does seem odd to me that a person who "just got the game" can be such an expert on variables and yet have problems with much simpler things...

I had (and still have) a bit of problems with the variables because I was so used to using "switches" from RM1, but I also don't see the point of making a thread "sticky" just so more people will see it. IF its a good thread then people will want to see it and people will continue posting in it so as to keep it active and so on.

If you really want people to see more of your work, why not make a Variable Tutorial. I looked at (I believe Pagerron's) a tutorial about making a simple variable event and it helped worlds, but you have taken a different approach. Also, making the tutorial would allow you to have all of your information in one place and this would tend to lead you away from creating threads for (seemingly) little/no reason.

Posting a video would save a lot of time, in the sense that you don't have to type nearly as much, you don't have to wait for someone's reply, and you would probably explain everything in one sitting instead of several double-posted threads. You also get to show visual examples so people would have a better sense of what your talking about.

The reason for this is that I ordered my game from GameStop used, so I didn't have a manual. I know how to use variables very well because, well, I understand the confusing things before the easy things. My mind works funny like that.

Re: I Will Explain Variables

You know, Pagerron did post the link to the official manual for you.
