Variables

[Skyline]

I need to know how to make variables from certain things. I'm not talking about $game_variables either.

I have my 'input' screen, where the user can input a number, the variable is called @deposit_number. I don't know how to make it so that the deposit number is added to a storage number, such as @amount. I think it's:
@amount += @deposit_number

But, I haven't actually made @amount yet; so that is first thing to do.

Thanks for any help

Yes, that is correct.

Erm, yeah, thanks for the help :-/

I need to know how to make this variable to store things in, if I wasn't clear enough in the first post.

*Looks at bottom of Daniel's sig*

I wonder why?

But what Daniels saying is that what you put (@amount += @deposit_number) is how you would do it. @amount just has to be equal to a constant before you try to add something to it, so put like @amount = 0 in def main of the scene.

Shouldn't it be in def Initialize?

 

[Ceroscuro]

Well I guess initialize would work, but since not all scenes have def initialize there by default, putting it in def main is a more universal solution.

Thanks so much :D I can't believe it was as simple as that ':|
