Password Protected PC

I need help. Maruno, this may be interesting to you I dunno.

I'm working on Oak's PC in his house and want his Top Secret files password protected. And if you enter the correct password you can access his secret files. It's not working no matter what I do. Here's what I have:

p.s. disregard condition switch 0063...

Don't program in rmxp myself, but at first glance:
You use a case, followed by a when / else statement.

In most programming languages you'd use an if for the construction you ate using. Generally speaking a case only allows simple compares.

Case switch
1: dosomething
2: dosomethingels
Default: dosomethingdefault

You don't need a class for that small amount of code, a simple function would do (or a module if you really must) anyways, it's probably how you are calling the function which fails. Also, I do believe that pbEnterText adds an extra "\r" to the end which can cause this problem too.

I would say you can just event this, rather than do any scripting.

Entering free text (i.e. typing with the keyboard as opposed to the way official games let you enter words) will currently cause problems in the way hanseic describes. However, I've fixed that for v11.

There's nothing wrong with using case here, and thor348 used it correctly. It's just a matter of preference.

If you want to offer advice on how to code in Ruby, perhaps you should learn a bit of Ruby first.

Alright i'll start working on just setting this up in an event. Thanks btw

Alright I need some help. No matter what I try I can't get this to work. Please help?

Okay, I evented a cheat code system some time ago, it's fairly simple to set up.

First, create two new actors.

second, create an event that allows you to edit the first actor's name.
After that you need to to make sure the second actor gets the same name as the first one and clear the first one's name.

Then you have to make sure that whenever you access the PC, you'll be asked to change the name of the first actor. if that ones matches the name of the second one, you'll be granted access.

Hope this helps you;)

Show us what you have, then. Screenshots help.

I've tried this using the database but the scripts Maruno has made won't allow it to work. is that what you're talking about?

Yes. I barely understood what elarma was going on about, and I didn't see his post before making mine.

It honestly shouldn't be that difficult. As far as I can tell, it's just a collection of choices with a comparison between inputted text and a preset phrase thrown in somewhere. You can modify the displayed text to make the secret notes look prettier if you want.

Hmmm, I haven't tried this in essentials yet. I'll try it out tomorrow and put up some screens if it works.

your link proved to be much help. I didn't know about that wiki surprisingly... I thought I had read most of them haha it solves my problem with the choices. I was looking for hours on how to do it through script rather than command. I'll work on it tomorrow after work and post my progress.
