Assigning meaning to Variables

Using Modes instead of Variables

Helpful Tip: Modes can be used to make events happenonly once as well, without using variables and keeping track of them.

First, make your event, and make sure you put a second mode on the end of it. Make the second mode blank.

Next, when you make your event, use the "Modify Mode" event code to change the current event's mode to the blank one you made.

I use this method for "invisible models" mostly. It may not work with graphic models. If there's a problem, just "Refresh Display."

Re: Using Modes instead of Variables

Yeah, Pitchfork, that works as well. However, internal variables are easy to track as well, and, uh...I don't like modes.
I'll probably put that in nontheless.

In my experience, when figuring out which areas are walkable, I've found that the red mask only shows up on ground that is below sea level. It will not show steep slopes or ground that is at sea level.

Oops. Well, I think I"ll keep it for now, better then nothing.

Hitogoroshi,
For what it's worth, I recently created Mode Creation Sample Walkthrough for RPG Maker 3 and Variable Creation Sample Walkthrough for RPG Maker 3. I've uploaded them in the Submissions section. When they're approved, I hope they can be helpful, especially to new owners of RPG Maker 3.

not a reply but questions about rpg maker 3

is there a way to set up boss battles in rpg maker 3?

for example:
you're doing a quest for the the orb of echos and you have to go through a dungeon to get it. You get to the last lvl of the dungeon but you have to fight grazzix, the boss of the dungeon to get the orb.

So is there a way to set up a boss battle so that you can put a boss in a particular space that you have to fight before you get ahold of the quest item?

Thank you for your help

i hope this example helps

Re: not a reply but questions about rpg maker 3

I'm pretty sure that one of the event commands is called 'Boss Battle' or maybe it's 'Event Battle.' Either way, that's the command that you need to use. If you don't know how to do events, then you go into Layout mode, pick the spot, press X, pick Event, then go to Event Code. There is where you can enter the codes.

Re: not a reply but questions about rpg maker 3

Oh, I should probably bump this. Saw a bunch of questions that this answered.

[hitogoroshi]

If you guys forgot, any questions or tips can be added. Just add them and I'll edit the first post.
[EDIT: Hey, sitcky! Now I made the title less ugly.]
[EDIT EDIT: Now that I don't need to bump this, I won't double post. Anywho, I now date the new stuff, so you can tell whats new on the list.

Re: how!!!

This is for the console RPG Makers. You can find an RPG Maker XP demo at download.com. All other PC RPG Makers are pirates and discussion of such will lead to a ban warning.
