Calling Switches from Scripts

Latest Post

Heya all. I have a char gen script. When a user selects a specific Profession, i want to be able to call in game switches with their selected profession..

What i would like to do, if someone selects FIGHTER.. It would make it, so when they enter the game they have Switches 101 200 and 316. Those switches activate a certain line of profession exclusive quests that give an introduction on game play mechanics as they directly affect their character.

What i would like to do, is edit the char generator, so if they select fighter, it auto calls the scripts.. Anyone have any suggestions? Prehapes this can be acomplished without editing the scripts at all..

Any advice?

Thanks

michael

i downloaded this script from the forums. This is what it is

#==============================================================================
# â–  RPG::Class
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 　Contains data on classes.
#==============================================================================
module RPG
class Class
def initialize
@id = 0
@name = ""
@graphic = ""
@position = 0
@weapon_set = []
@armor_set = []
@element_ranks = Table.new(1)
@state_ranks = Table.new(1)
@learnings = []
end
attr_accessor :id
attr_accessor :name
attr_accessor :graphic
attr_accessor :position
attr_accessor :weapon_set
attr_accessor :armor_set
attr_accessor :element_ranks
attr_accessor :state_ranks
attr_accessor :learnings
end
end

#==============================================================================
# â–  RPG::Update
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 　Updates classes in module RPG.
#==============================================================================
module RPG
class Update
def initialize
update_classes
def update_classes
case $gender
when "Male"
$data_classes[1].graphic = ["211-Ninja01"]
$data_classes[2].graphic = ["009-Lancer01b"]

when "Female"
$data_classes[1].graphic = ["Graphic1"]
$data_classes[2].graphic = ["012-Lance"]

end
end


end
end

Now no matter where i put the switch script that you recomended jobber, i get the same error as i posted.

Well thanks Raizel, I tried your way, so my script looks like this

case $gender
when "Male"
$data_classes[1].graphic = ["211-Ninja01"]
$game_switches = Game_Switches.new
$game_switches[183] = true
$data_classes[2].graphic = ["009-Lancer01b"]

when "Female"
$data_classes[1].graphic = ["Graphic1"]
$data_classes[2].graphic = ["012-Lance"]

end
end


end
end


Doing this doesnt crash my game!! Which is on the right track, although, doing it this way does not actually load that particuler switch when a new user first enters the game.. Any ideas?

Hello =) Just a question... In my character creator, I need it so that I have more classes in my classes editor, than in my RPG::Class script. Is this possible? If so, please help. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated! =) Thanks, everyone! =)

Ok, here is a script that I wrote in about 1 hour to help this get resolved. I know it has bugs and doesnt look as pretty as it should be... but it gets the job done. Please let me know if you have any questions. (keep in mind that I dont normally come onto RMXP very often, so forgive my absence if I dont respond. I am far more active on CA then here.) Oh yeah.. to adjust character hue when in the bottom window, just use the left/right arrows.

I really appricate you taking the time to work on this for me! I know I am not the best scripter in the world and dig the fact you put time into my project at your own time expense! As it, its not directly intergrating into my game but I have another friend who is well familer with my script setup that it should be doable. If i have any questions, mind if i respond here, or send you a PM?

Thanks

Hello everyone =) I just needed to know if anybody could read this script, and explain to me what's wrong with it. I've tried everything, and it doesn't wanna seem to work.

Here is the script:

Code: 
if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Create)
if @class_id > 7
@class_id == 7 if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Create)
else
@class_id += 1 if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Create) and @class_id < 7
return
end
end

Basically, all's I need it to do, is if the class id inside of Scene_Create ONLY, is greater than the max number of classes, then the class id = the max number of classes. HOWEVER, when it is NOT in Scene_Create, but rather, used inside of a script in the game itself that I call, via talking to an NPC, using this script: $game_actors[1].class_id += 1 , I need it to exceed beyond 8 ONLY INSIDE the game, and I need it to change to that class, as soon as u finish talking to the NPC with the variable stored in it =)

ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated! =)

Thank you to all who took their time to read and help me! =)
