The variable can then be used in a bunch of different ways. In RPG Maker VX Ace, it works the same way: using events, you can set a variable to any numerical value, and the game will store that value. If you’re familiar at all with programming, then you know that a variable is a stand-in for a number (a number that varies). Think about it this way: if a switch is like a light switch, then a variable is like a dimmer dial: it works the same way, but instead of only two positions ( on or off), there is no limit on the amount of positions a variable can have. Variables aren’t much more complicated than switches. What those positions mean is up to you the primary use is to activate or de-activate events, but the possibilities are limitless. When you flip a switch in an event, the game will remember if that switch is turned on or off. Your game will keep track of which position each switch is in. A switch in RPG Maker VX Ace is just like the light switch on the wall next to you.Ī switch has two positions: on and off, and you can flip it whenever you want within events. Switches are much easier than they seem at first glance. This tutorial is written with the assumption that you understand the most basic elements of the RPG Maker VX Ace interface.īut before we start trying to use switches or variables, it’s important to understand what they are. This tutorial is written for beginners who are diving into the depths of the program for the first time-but I’m not going to be covering the basic interface stuff (that will come in another tutorial). Part two will go a little deeper into the uses for variables. This is the first part of the tutorial, and it will teach you how and when to use switches. This tutorial is going to tell you everything (well-almost everything) that you need to know about two of the most important features of the RPG Maker program: switches and variables. Howdy. Uncle Despain here, with the first of my RPG Maker VX Ace tutorials.
