reading text from an event

[Aran]

hey, how do you get a script to read a parameter value that is set in an event and is a sentence in quotations (not a quoted statement ;P, btw)?

like in the event it initializes a script and the initialize method has a parameter and in the event, it initializes that script with a quoted phrase, ex:
"blah blah blah"

ex:
Event:

@>[COLOR=silver]Script: Scene_Something.new("Can you do this?")[/COLOR][COLOR=black]

[/COLOR]

Script:

[COLOR=blue]class[/COLOR] Scene_Something
 
[COLOR=blue]def[/COLOR] initialize[COLOR=blue]([/COLOR]a_phrase[COLOR=blue])[/COLOR]
a_phrase [COLOR=blue]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkorchid]""[/COLOR]
[COLOR=green]#blah blah blah on down to end of script[/COLOR]

 

[Prexus]

class Scene_Something
  attr_accessor :phrase
  def initialize(phrase = "")
    @phrase = phrase
  end
end

Call Script: something = Scene_Something.new("Hello World");
print something.phrase

Try that.

it won't print it...

So, you are trying to create an object class, then using it in a call script?

What Prexus gave you should work. You are doing something wrong...

If you put in the semicolon after something = Scene_Something.new(etc), take it out. I don't think the compiler is reading the code right becuase that ; is there. If I am right, yay! If I am wrong, sorry to waste your time, and Good Night. Peace out!

Wow, Seph. u read me like a book.

i mean... i'm not getting any errors, it just won't print...

EDIT: shit. now i'm gettin errors

The ; is just a line break in code form basically. It has no effect.

 

[OS]

damn. Okay, sorry for wasting time and Good Night.
