I made it so you can name your own character, but how can...

I make it so that in text, it shows the character's name that the player inputted?

Replace the actor's name with \n[ID] -- the actor ID goes inside the brackets.

You can also try right click->"What's This?" for more helpful codes, for example \v[] for inserting variables.

\n[actor's id]

press F1 while writing a text for more info

Thank you! I saw those codes in a demo before, but they were just color ones.

Another question, how can I make it so things are based on chance? I'm making a forest that rains, but I don't want it to rain all the time, just somtimes when you go in.

There is a thread about this, but whatever:

Go to Control variables -> Select a variable and put -> Random number(select a range)

Then afeter that make a conditional branch like this:

 

Conditional branch: If [001-Variable01] == 1

 

  Set weather effect: rain

end

 

--

 

Conditional branch: If [001-Variable01] == 2

 

  Set weather effect: none

end

 

 

good luck :thumb: !

Thanks! Now I have all I need, I'm making a game where you start with a boy or a girl, depending on what you pick.

 

[Nachos]

Ok, go to Database: And leave the "staring party" blank.

Then on the firs scene when you have to pick a gender, a Choice command:

 

 

Choice:

 

Boy

 Add party member: boy

end

 

Girl

 Add party member: girl

end

 

 

hope you get it

You honestly have no idea how long I've wished you could do that with rmxp. I was told when I FIRST started using the program that it had to be scripted, and then when I asked for a script to put the variables into a menu, all I got was an error filled line of code.

You are my hero. I can't believe I didn't know that already. Thank you, Regi.

Glad I somehow helped, Mikee, but remember that \v[] only works in the "Show Text" command. Unfortunately, if you want it to happen in a database description (for example in the menu) you do need to use a script.

I already knew that, I wasn't asking how to.
