Help needed with simple script command in eventing

[LucianOfMysidia]

Im not sure if there is a separate script help forum. I looked but didnt see one. My question/request is pretty simple. In RM2K3 in event "scripting" there was an option in the variable section, to reference a variable by the value of another. An "indexing" variable if you will. No such option exists in RMXP.

I was hoping someone could tell me how to write a simple one or two line script in ruby that I could insert to serve that purpose. I hope Ive described what Im talking about sufficiently enough for people to understand what it is I am asking for. Any help would be appreciated.

<scratches head> Ummm... it would probably be easier to answer if you put it in context. What do you want to use this for?

That being said, If you want to store a number in variable 1, then read variable n, where n is the value of variable 1, you can use the script statement: $game_variables[$game_variables[1]] to access the value of the other variable.

The question is, what do you want to do with that value once you have it? You could, for example store it in variable 2 using:

$game_variables[2] = $game_variables[$game_variables[1]]

or use it in a conditional branch:

$game_variables[$game_variables[1]] > n # where n is a value or another statement.

Be Well
