various load screens based on variables

[Yero]

Hi, is it possible (bet it sure is) to have several load screens (loadbg in PScreen_Load) depending on a variable you can set in the game.
Like:
If VARIABLE[40] = 5
addBackgroundOrColoredPlane(@sprites,"background","loadbg",
If VARIABLE[40] = 10
addBackgroundOrColoredPlane(@sprites,"background","loadbg2",
etc.

I am not a scripter, and I have tried playing around with it, but without much luck :-(
any ideas?

if $game_variables[x] = z
-background script goes here-
elsif $game_variables[x] = y
-background script goes here-
end

You are on the good track! You can alternatively use $game_switches[x], just remember to use 'else' (for example, if no switch is on, to do the default bg) or 'elsif' (+ another condition) and to finish it with end. Every 'if' should finish with 'end'.

It's a little bit more complicated than that actually, because at the load screen game variables haven't been loaded yet, it only loaded some basic player info. You'd have to change that first.

You'd probably want to make it a piece of $PokemonSystem rather than a part of $game_variables. Since the former is loaded even before you enter the title screen (as is evidenced by the resizing of the screen) and the latter is loaded only when you open the game file.

I was indeed trying the first option, using a variable, but I keep getting an undefined method error before showing any loading screen... So what are the options of using a $PokemonSystem?
