An odd way to run variables

[Tsaku]

Does anyone know how to change a variable using the script editor?
I think I have everything thing else I need with it, but what I am doing requires an item to set a variable to a different amount at certain times when you use it.
All I should need is the basic call for it.
Thank you in advanced

Sorry if this is of no help, but is this what you're looking to do?

I think you mean this:

$game_variables[VARIABLENUMBER]=Value

Sigh
Once again I have been typing it wrong.
Thank you
I will edit this post to tell you if that works for what I am doing.

If you go to where the item is used (Item Effects), just add

$game_variables[[COLOR="Red"]x[/COLOR]]=[COLOR="Blue"]y[/COLOR] if [COLOR="Magenta"]something[/COLOR]

Where:
x = your variable number.
y = whatever number or letter or word or whatever.
something = map id, weather effect etc.

Ok so once I add the variables to the items effect, it doesn't work. Does anyone know what else needs to be done?

 

[Nickalooose]

Well that's all that needs to be done... If it doesn't work then you've done it wrong.
Noone can help you if you don't do it right.

ItemHandlers::UseOnPokemon.add(:RARECANDY,proc{|item,pokemon,scene|
   if pokemon.level>=PBExperience::MAXLEVEL || (pokemon.isShadow? rescue false)
     scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It won't have any effect."))
     next false
   else
     pbChangeLevel(pokemon,pokemon.level+1,scene)
     scene.pbHardRefresh
     [COLOR="Red"]$game_variables[32]=4[/COLOR]
     next true
   end
})

So at any point you use a Rare Candy here, and it works, the variable 32, will always be set as 4... Learn this... Cause this is exactly what was explained.

This is what I have set up, and it keeps crashing

Also, sorry about the quality, I only have Internet on my phone, not my computer.


Never mind, I see what happened.

 

[Nickalooose]

And do you see the problem?

 

[Tsaku]

Yes, I'm rather ashamed...

Where:
x = your variable number.
y = whatever number or letter or word or whatever.
something = map id, weather effect etc.

for anyone like me, who doesn't find it so obvious how to put a word for y:

it must be 'word', without the ' you'll get an error. numbers of course don't need this.

this is useful for simple password events:

pbSet(XX,pbEnterText("password?",1,12))
conditional branch: script: $game_variables[XX]=='slowpoketail'

i think the rest is clear

Correct, words should use Quotes ( "my words" ), numbers have no need, scripts do not use quotes either.
