[Resolved] Checking Event Comments

[Aran]

how can i find out if a comment matches a specific comment?

like if I want to see if a comment says "Hello World?"

If you are talking about reading event comments, you need to fetch the Game_Event (it's in the faq), read the list, check for comment line codes, and check the string (@parameters[0]).

event = $game_map.events[event_id]
unless event.erased
  unless event.list.nil?
    event.list.each do |event_command|
      if event_command.code == 108 && event_command.code == 408
        string = event_command.paramters[0]
          if string.include?('some string')
            # Blah

Something like that.

Okay! Question now! is each do an iterating function or a loop that iterates a variable over everything in the array? like a for loop?

plz say i'm right *crosses fingers*

EDIT: and what is command 408? and... i still don't get parameters -_-

Bump.

Yes. The each function just passes through every object in the array.

code 408 is one of the instances of a RPG::EventCommand. You create an event command, you create a RPG::EventCommand. 408 is when a comment goes on to a second line.

Comment : something # Code 108
something else # code 408
Comment : blah # code 108
blah else # code 408
blah blah blah # code 408

Each line is an event command with it own code a parameters array. For the comment command, paramters = ['Comment line'].

Check my event spawner, as I heavily went into each RPG::EventCommand code, parameters, etc. for every event command.
