Adding variables to a RPG class

[Dargor]

Hello.

I'm trying to add variables to the RPG::Skill class but it's not working at all.

Here's the code I wrote.

class RPG::Skill
  attr_accessor  :completion
  alias dargor_rpg_skill_initialize initialize
  def initialize
    dargor_rpg_skill_initialize
    @completion = []
  end
end

What's the problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Do it like this:

module RPG
  class Skill
    blablabla
  end
end

EDIT: (forget the previous message)
Hmm, it's not working...:-/
When I use $data_skills[skill_id].completion, it returns nil.

The reason why it does not work is because all of those RPG::Whatever objects are already created (not at Game.exe runtime), when you do stuff in the database it automatically creates those objects you see and saves it to the data folder under the name Whatever.rxdata and then when the game is run the files are loaded using load_data (which is really just Marshal.load except that it can read encrypted files)

so you will have to give those new variables you add a value before you do anything with them, how you do this is up to you

Ok, that's what I though.

If I modify my classes and the use save_data(class, file) BEFORE I load them, would it work?

Yes, though do not change the variables that are already there that can be edited using the database to a value that isn't accepted. You can but if you try to edit the data it will ask for an acceptable value :p

Great! I'll try this. Thank you!
