[Scripting Question] Variables in scripts

[Parritoso]

I need help with this script, I have made it using the codes already included in the Essentials.
The problem comes from the part of pbprueba1. I can't get the variable to change, I can't even get it to work, I get an error.
Because it does not work?
The idea is that you change the variables depending on the choice.
If someone could help me I would appreciate it.

class PokemonTransporte_Scene
    def shouldShow?
    return true
  end
  
  def pbprueba1
  $game_variables.SetVariables(45,1)
end
end

  def pbTransporteMenu
  loop do
    command=Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("What do you want to do?"),[
       _INTL("Item Storage"),
       _INTL("Item Storage2"),
       _INTL("Exit")
       ],-1)
    if command==0
      pbprueba1
    elsif command==1
      pbPCMailbox
    else
      break
    end
  end
end

Have you tried with

yourVar == yourValue

?

 

[Parritoso]

Yes, and it doesn't work, I think 45 == 1 or $ game_variables [45] == 1. Neither works

 

[Segaz3]

Try using

$game_variables[45] = 1

without spaces other than the ones I've written

 

[Parritoso]

Try using

$game_variables[45] = 1

without any kind of space or anything

No, mistake again. I think I have linked an image of the error.

 

[Segaz3]

What if you define pbTransporteMenu inside of the class?

It is defined in its class, PokemonTransporte_Scene.
This can be seen in the code that I linked at the beginning.

 

[Segaz3]

I don't think it is:

class PokemonTransporte_Scene
    def shouldShow?
    return true
  end
  
  def pbprueba1
  $game_variables.SetVariables(45,1)
end
end #this end here actually ends the class code

class PokemonTransporte_Scene
    def shouldShow?
    return true
  end
  
  def pbprueba1
  $game_variables.SetVariables(45,1)
end
end #this end here actually ends the class definition

class PokemonTransporte_Scene
    def shouldShow?
    return true
  end
  
  def pbTransporteMenu
  loop do
    command=Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("What do you want to do?"),[
       _INTL("Item Storage"),
       _INTL("Item Storage2"),
       _INTL("Exit")
       ],-1)
    if command==0
      pbprueba1
    elsif command==1
      pbPCMailbox
    else
      break
    end
  end
end

  def pbprueba1
  $game_variables[45] = 1
end
end

Thus? It is the first time that I work with class in this way

 

[Segaz3]

Give it a try

 

[Parritoso]

No, now the menu, Item Storage, Item Storage2 doesn't even appear. I think that is not how it is defined. o There is some end too many.

 

[Segaz3]

Hmm. What I could recommend you is trying to call a common event using pbCommonEvent(id of the common event) then showing the menu from there or replacing

loop do
  #...
end

with

while (true)
  #...
end

With the first method, you'd have a fix for the issue with changing a variable from the script section

I could swear but I don't know if it's what I'm looking for. I want to make the player get a menu to choose a destination, and depending on the variable they teleport to one place or another, a way to avoid the Flight MO in the game, and in a more interesting way than an item.

 

[Segaz3]

Then you should try the first method. In that way, teleporting the player would be very easy as RPG Maker XP and I believe all other RPG Makers have a built-in "Teleport to map" function

Thanks for the idea, but I want to do it from the variables and for an NPC to be the one to execute the teleportation, because it is simpler to change the player's appearance to a sprite that varies in a sequence until it is teleported. That's the idea, but if I can't do it, I'll have to learn to program it, I guess.

Thanks anyway. I hope you can help me, although you have already done a lot to try to help me. Thanks again.

Sorry, I think I didn't explain well. You could make the NPC call a common event in which you set the variable (or if you need to make the variable change value before the common event, then change it from the NPC's event) and show the choice. You would still be able to boot the game's PC from a script function.

I'm suggesting to use a common event as it would be easier for it to be called by different NPCs.

Ok, I got it, but the problem is that now I can only use three selections and it will be crazy for the player when they have to move through the cities through this method.

This (click on the word "this" to go to the page) is what you're looking for. Pokémon Essentials introduces the ability to add tons of options for a choice, a feature that RPG Maker doesn't have.
