Variable issue [Resolved - Bug in VX 'Control Variables' event command/script]

[Marpy]

I'm having a slight problem every time I try to set a variable equal to the number of an item held in the inventory. I get a script error.

Well, one of my characters is an alchemist. Her skills make potions and such. Now, let's say I want her to make a potion, and it will require.. say, a vial, and two medical herbs. I set the conditional branch up, to check and see if the party has the vial. Then I set up the conditional branch to check if the party has a medical herb. It does, so I now set up a variable equal to the number of herbs in the inventory. If it's greater then, or equal to, two, then presto, potion. But the variable doesn't work.

It sounds like $game_variables is uninitialized for some reason. Are you skipping part(s) of Scene_Title somehow?

 

[Marpy]

Not that I'm aware of. My friend who's helping me work on the game has the same problem.

Could you possibly take a screenshot of the event commands on how you have them now?

There is a bug in Game_Interpreter.

Before line 750, add

    when 4  # Actor

then it works just peachy!

[ edit ]  oops,  then change line 751 from/to
[ edit again ] just delete that line, it doesn't do anything...

  #  actor = $game_actors[@parameters[1]]

For clarity, that section of code should look like...  (lines 748-752)

    when 3  # Item
      value = $game_party.item_number($data_items[@params[4]])
    when 4  # Actor
      actor = $game_actors[@params[4]]
      if actor != nil
        case @params[5]
        when 0  # Level
          value = actor.level
etc....

I also copied the Scripts.rvdata file, after saving, back to
C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\RPGVX\System\Data
so I won't have to fix it everytime I start a new project.

Be Well

Yeeeees. That fixed it. Thankies.

Oh wow, an actual bug. Way to go Brewmeister. :golfclap: I will definitely remember this just in case this happens again.

Marpy, It's what I live for!  :wink:

khmp, ":golfclap:"...  that's 2 good chuckles today :scruff:

Be Well

I threw it under RMVX misc section of the FAQ for whatever good that'll do. Again great job Mr. Brewmeister. That's right, *Mister*.

 

[Brewmeister]

Good thinkin'!  (I gotta remember to update the FAQ when I see stuff like this)

Do you think anyone reads the FAQ?  :puzzled:

That's why I changed the title to make it more noticable.

I guess we'll find out if we see a whole bunch of other posts about the same problem.

Hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while!  :scruff:

Be Well
