Script error

[cheatking]

I made this script:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Add on Script.
# V 1.0
# By Cheatking
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

class Add_On
  if FileTest.exist?("add on 1.txt")
# Switches
  $game_switches["switch_1"] = true
else
  $game_switches["switch_1"] = false
  end
end

When i run it i get this error:

Script ' ' line 10: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method `[]='for nil:NilClass

That isn't how you should be doing something like that.

A) You created a class which just has no methods whatsoever
B) Never create a class for just a function (switching variables if file detected), use a module
C) You use an integer, not a string for the variable id (1, 6, 18, 37, 126, ... )
D) Just to be picky, it is better to use single ' marks instead of double " marks when defining strings, unless you have a complex string like "#{actor.name} : Hp - #{actor.hp} / #{actor.map_hp}"

The reason you are getting an error is that your little code there isn't within a method. Once you start your game, that code is read. It errors because $game_switches is not created until your select new game or load a saved game.

Try something like this:

module YourModuleNameHere
  def self.check_savefile
    $game_switches[1] = FileTest.exist?('add on 1.txt')
  end
end

Now to use this, create a call script or whatever with :

Script : YourModuleNameHere.check_savefile
