Rock Pushing Puzzle

[bradleydfc]

Hey, I want to create a rock pushing mini game, where you push the block into a hole right... Well I'm kinda confused 'cause I have been pondering for ages now how to create a system such as this...
Do I need a script?
:'(
I'm not usually N00bish but ya know, this ones quite hard. It isn't so much the system, its the problem.
See below for the problem...  xD

No need for a script. You can use variables to check positions of each event. I will not go in any further, unless you ask me to do so, because I feel that by trying things out, you will learn things faster compared to when somebody step by step explains everything.

I know how to do the variable thing, but I'm kinda stuck when there are things in the way... Like its a maze aswell... =S For example rock a horizontal and rock a vertical (both variables) will move up and down depending on what way the rock is pushed, but when I push it against a wall, the variable goes up, and the rock doesn't move; messing up the system.

Not at all; make something along the lines of:

@>Set Move Route: This event (Ignore if Can't move)
                                  : $>1 Step Backward

For each rock, and a parallel process:

@>Control Variables: [0001: X] = [Rock]'s Map X
@>Control Variables: [0002: Y] = [Rock]'s Map Y
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: X] == 5
          @>Conditional Branch: Variable [0002: Y] == 10
                  @> ... //rock falls in hole here
             :  Branch End
          @>
  : Branch End
@>

...to check if the rock is in the right place. That's the base idea, now you should improve it.

I've got that, its just the problem occurs when I push a rock into a wall and the rock doesn't move, but the variable changes, thereby screwing it up...=S

 

[Hevendor]

The variable won't change if the rock doesn't move. o.o

 

[bradleydfc]

How do ya mean... It doesn't change? This is the one eventing topic I just don't understand.. Why would it not change if it is inside the event? Sorry for asking so many questions, you're a great help! :D

Ok so let's say the rock event is at map coordinates (1,1) You push it left but there's a wall. If you use something like what Hevendor suggested there won't be a problem. Because even though you pushed it the map coordinate could not have changed because the rock didn't mysteriously go through the wall.
