Variable List

[Sthrattoff]

Hi everybody!
Do you mind if we should make a list of variable used in standard RGSS?
It WILL help many beginner scripter.

As a start, I'll enlist some...

Code Select Expand


$game_variables[variable_id] #connect to event-system variables
$game_switches[switch_id] # connect to event-system switch
$game_party.actors[actor_id] # connect to current party member (the one you played)


Any donation will be appreciated... Thanx

Here're some

Code Select Expand

$game_map.events # Events
$game_map.map_id # current map id
$game_party.gold # gold
$game_party.actors[0].name # hero's name

I'm a little confused as to this. This is a little strange. I'd probably be more thorough for one member to do it.
Anyway, here are a few

Code Select Expand


$data_troops[troop id] # database troops
$data_troops[troop id].members[member index]
$data_system
(for most datas, there's a game too)
$game_system
$game_temp
$game_self_switches[Map ID, Event ID, Whichever one it is ("A","B","C","D")]
$game_screen


Meh, I don't know how common it is to use such things, but meh, that is kind of why I'm not sure what I am supposed to be listing...

$game_party.actors[actor_id].maxhp #Party's max HP
$game_party.actors[actor_id].maxsp #Party's max SP
$game_party.actors[actor_id].hp #Party's current HP
$game_party.actors[actor_id].sp #Party's current SP

The help file already contains a lot of this information.
At least special version I got. Just look under Advanced Scripting in Introduction to Scripting

No, no...
It's just a list of pre-defined variables on RGSS, not the tute.
Can you give some?

A pic from the help file.
There's also a similar page for Game Objects.

You can see what they are instances of and then it's just to click on the links to go to the other place in the help file where the rest stands
You can for example click on RPG::System and you come to a page explaining which functions there are and what they do
Much quicker and better than a static list in my opinion.
