[Scripting Question] Region Map Extras question

[Woah]

How can I use a variable instead of a switch for when an extra graphic appears on the region map?
This is what it looks like in PScreen_RegionMap:

for hidden in REGIONMAPEXTRAS
      if hidden[0]==mapindex && ((@wallmap && hidden[5]) ||
         (!@wallmap && hidden[1]>0 && [COLOR="Red"]$game_switches[hidden[1]][/COLOR]))
        if !@sprites["map2"]
          @sprites["map2"] = BitmapSprite.new(480,320,@viewport)
          @sprites["map2"].x = @sprites["map"].x
          @sprites["map2"].y = @sprites["map"].y
        end
        pbDrawImagePositions(@sprites["map2"].bitmap,[
           ["Graphics/Pictures/#{hidden[4]}",hidden[2]*SQUAREWIDTH,hidden[3]*SQUAREHEIGHT,0,0,-1,-1]
        ])
      end
    end

[hidden[1] being what's referenced from the Settings section. It'd be nice if I could just do

$game_variables[74]==hidden[1]

but altering anything seems to put the secret graphic on the map regardless of variables.

Thx!

you put two equals signs instead of one.

"==" means "if it is equal to"
"=" means "set that value equal to"

That wasn't the problem, since that line was part of the conditional. Here's what I changed it to if anyone's wondering:

for hidden in REGIONMAPEXTRAS
      if hidden[0]==mapindex && (@wallmap && hidden[5]) ||
         (!@wallmap && hidden[1]>0)
         if $game_variables[75]==hidden[1]
          if !@sprites["map2"]
            @sprites["map2"] = BitmapSprite.new(480,320,@viewport)
            @sprites["map2"].x = @sprites["map"].x
            @sprites["map2"].y = @sprites["map"].y
          end
          pbDrawImagePositions(@sprites["map2"].bitmap,[
           ["Graphics/Pictures/#{hidden[4]}",hidden[2]*SQUAREWIDTH,hidden[3]*SQUAREHEIGHT,0,0,-1,-1]
         
        ])
        end
      end
    end
