Will I help?
<<No>>

I doubted I would get any results if I did search, and I was right.

have you tried eventing it?
it's not very difficult at all.

[Owlsey]

I have over 100 troops, and I don't want to have to event them all. If it really is so easy (which I don't doubt), then please just make it.

Why the switches? Any conditional that can check a switch can check a variable.

And yeah, why not event it? The script is easy too, but it's kind of pointless to write a script that would only be used by people who cannot event and therefore cannot possibly make a good game. I'll write this script because it will take 5 seconds and you took the effort to fill in the template, which is always a plus, but you really ought to learn how to event. This is simpler than almost any other event you could conceive of.

Place this code above Main and below all other custom scripts:

Code Select Expand


class Scene_Battle
  #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  # * Battle Ends
  #     result : results (0:win 1:lose 2:escape)
  #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  alias modalg_owlsey_ynotevnt_killcounter_52b4 battle_end
  def battle_end (result)
    # Add to counter if a victory
    $game_variables[9] += 1
    # Run Original method
    modalg_owlsey_ynotevnt_killcounter_52b4 (result)
  end
end

Thanks, that helped.

translation:
I really don't feel like doing it, I realize it's easy, just do it for me.

anyway, request fulfilled, please add [resolved] to the topic title, I know it's easy, but I'm too lazy to do it.

Wouldn't he have to go back and add a variable increase to all 100 troops? That could take a bit of time.

[Owlsey]

Look, i'm not going to argue with you, I don't know RPGXP scripting yet. And I could do the same for 100 troops, but a script would prevent unintentional "glitches" where I forgot to do so, and I WILL make more troops. Rather just take 5 minutes to request here than 30 doing what you suggested.

ctrl + c
ctrl + v

[Owlsey]

No duh. A script is still way faster.

Not everyone wants to double click on 100 different scattered items and paste something into each one of them.
