Turning on a switch

[MCsephiroth13]

What statement is used to turn on a specified switch?

I'm thinking it's:

$game_system.switches = data.switches(x)(

or

@data.switches(x) = true

but I have absolutely no idea.
I want to be able to incorporate it in this script after the conditional branch that checks if a save file exists:

class Scene_Title

  alias_method :zeriab_scene_title_main, :main

  def main

    alias :main :zeriab_scene_title_main

    load_database

    # Select the starting map and coordinates

    $data_system.start_map_id = 1

    $data_system.start_x, $data_system.start_y = 8, 5

    command_new_game

  end

  if FileTest.exist?("Save#{i+1}.rxdata")

    $game_system.switches = 

  def load_database

    # Load database

    $data_actors        = load_data("Data/Actors.rxdata")

    $data_classes       = load_data("Data/Classes.rxdata")

    $data_skills        = load_data("Data/Skills.rxdata")

    $data_items         = load_data("Data/Items.rxdata")

    $data_weapons       = load_data("Data/Weapons.rxdata")

    $data_armors        = load_data("Data/Armors.rxdata")

    $data_enemies       = load_data("Data/Enemies.rxdata")

    $data_troops        = load_data("Data/Troops.rxdata")

    $data_states        = load_data("Data/States.rxdata")

    $data_animations    = load_data("Data/Animations.rxdata")

    $data_tilesets      = load_data("Data/Tilesets.rxdata")

    $data_common_events = load_data("Data/CommonEvents.rxdata")

    $data_system        = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")

    # Make system object

    $game_system = Game_System.new

  end

end

Line 12 is where I want it. (Btw, special thanks to Zeriab for the above script! You saved my game!!!)

$game_switches[n] = true # n being an integer with no leading zeroes

Thanks. Now I have another problem though. When I inserted that statement it came up with an error saying local variable 'i' is undefined or something, so I typed above that

for i in 0..3

but then it came up with a syntax error. Am I even putting any of this in the right place? lol
I'm trying to make it so that the system checks if there's a save file and if so, turns the switch on. I put it in this script because it automatically transfers the player to the map after a couple of splash screens, and they're the first things that come up in the game.

First, it seems like you put that code into the wrong place.

  def main

    alias :main :zeriab_scene_title_main

    load_database

    # Select the starting map and coordinates

    $data_system.start_map_id = 1

    $data_system.start_x, $data_system.start_y = 8, 5

    command_new_game

  end

 # the following code is not inside the main method

  if FileTest.exist?("Save#{i+1}.rxdata")

    $game_system.switches =

So, you have to place the "end" after that code.

If you get error messages, you should post them like they are shown. Without a line I can only guess what exactly is the problem.

class Scene_Title

  alias_method :zeriab_scene_title_main, :main

  def main

    alias :main :zeriab_scene_title_main

    load_database

    # Select the starting map and coordinates

    $data_system.start_map_id = 1

    $data_system.start_x, $data_system.start_y = 8, 5

    command_new_game

    1.upto(4) do |n|

      if FileTest.exist?("Save#{n}.rxdata")

        $game_switches[n] = true

      end

    end

  end

 

  def load_database

    # Load database

    $data_actors        = load_data("Data/Actors.rxdata")

    $data_classes       = load_data("Data/Classes.rxdata")

    $data_skills        = load_data("Data/Skills.rxdata")

    $data_items         = load_data("Data/Items.rxdata")

    $data_weapons       = load_data("Data/Weapons.rxdata")

    $data_armors        = load_data("Data/Armors.rxdata")

    $data_enemies       = load_data("Data/Enemies.rxdata")

    $data_troops        = load_data("Data/Troops.rxdata")

    $data_states        = load_data("Data/States.rxdata")

    $data_animations    = load_data("Data/Animations.rxdata")

    $data_tilesets      = load_data("Data/Tilesets.rxdata")

    $data_common_events = load_data("Data/CommonEvents.rxdata")

    $data_system        = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")

    # Make system object

    $game_system = Game_System.new

  end

end

It'd be easier to use...

[rgss]    4.times do |n|
      $game_switches[n+1] = FileTest.exist?("Save#{n+1}.rxdata")
    end
[/rgss]

If it's false, nothing serious will happen but if it's true, the switch will be activated.
