About variables!

Hi, I'm Kessiah and now I'm back with another topic! Again!!
Talk about n00b, huh? But actualy no! I'm actually pretty good at this! It's jsut that I have forgotten things and, well now I ... okay, I suck, nowadays!
And therefor I need your help! I've got this topic that, after what I've figured, is a problem for many, even advanced  makers of RPGs - Variables, that is!

I've read bits of this great tut on http://www.yamisiterawr.com/, but I still don't really get it ...
So, do anyone know of any good, or maybe great or absolute perfect, tut on variables here or anywhere else?
And also, maybe you know something about Zxmelee and him saying he would do a video-tut about variables. Has he done that yet? Links, plizz?

If you dont get yami's tut there is no hope left for you

xD okay, but as I told you, I didn't read all of it! I never got the time! And also it would be easier with a video tutorial! Monkey See Monkey Do!

Hmmm...here is a basic idea of variables.

Say if you wanted to do a quest. There are 3 kids you need to find. Instead of using switchs, which is annoyingly hard (For that sort of thing.) We use variables. Set up a variable called 'Children' Then set up the starting position. Make an event page, write like "O thank you for finding my kids.." blah blah blah. Then, for the requirments, select the variable 'Children' and set the number to 3. Then set up the children in random places. Each time you find one, go to the variable control button and increase by one. Make sure you increase...not set.

Hope it helped.

thank you! that actually helped alot!

my ocarina in the zelda sk is made from variables.
