Variable Errors in VX

[Shadriss]

It's been a while since I messed around in VX, so when I started putting some things together recently in an event using variables I was suprised when it has every indication of not working. I seem to recall that this was a known problem in RMVX, and that a fix was developed for it in script format... despite my best efforts in searching for it, I can't seem to find the original posts regarding this (most likely due to the amount of time that's passed since then.)

If I could get a link to that original post and the script fix for the VX variables problem, I'd appriciate it. If I'm making this up out of wholecloth, let me know as well... I'm pretty sure I've set things up correctly within the event and that I'm remembering this right, but we do all have our senior moments, dont we?

All right. Personally, I recommend starting a blank project, inserting the following script where I tell you to, and then using the project's Scripts.rvdata file to replace the default one in Program Files. (After saving, of course) That way, you'll automatically have the fix in every project you make, without having to archive it. JUst be sure to back up the original file before replacing it.

Anyway, what you need to do is take the following script, and use it to replace lines 736-856 in Game_Interpreter.

Thanks for the quick turnaround. I've made the changes, and I'll be testing them out later tonight. Hopefully, this did the trick.
