i thought of it before but eventually forgotten it.

-for example i will make a Totalsteal variable..then i will make a attack event that will add a +1 to Totalsteal

-then i will make a skill that damages enemy base on the number of times i successfully steal on a enemy.

That's possible - you can use variables in formulas as values.

Alex1234

good to know :)

How about a count ? i have this Prosperity variable also..

i have a recruiting mechanics that when you invite someone in your village the Prosperity will go up

Doesn't matter what the actual value stands for or where it's changed - when it's a float value, you can use it as a value in formulas :)

Use a Value step and set the Value Type to Game Variable. Define the variable key you want to use, optionally, you can also use object variables for that :)

Use a Value step and set the Value Type to Game Variable

you mean variable steps ?:) ok it's fine now.. thanks!

optionally,how can i trace how much prosperity value currently i have in a dialogue? aside from checking the prosperity (float value) from 0 - 100 ?

No, use the Value step if you want to use the variable for formula calculations. The variable steps can only check and change variables.

You can add the value of a variable using text codes. Use the buttons above the text area (click on More) to add text codes to your text.

hmm.. i didn't explain my situation well,sorry for that :)

the formula calculation is applicable in my first question because it's battle related..

the prosperity thing i ask next is all about event,let say i made a variable called prosperity, i talked to this dude and he joins in my army if so,the prosperity variable will increase by 1 or any amount i want.. then i can check that prosperity variable for selecting events depends on that prosperity count.

gamingislove

Yes, that's pretty basic :)

Alex1234

yeah, i was just confused :)

problem solved..thanks gil :) but i was wondering what's the difference between value & game variable

gamingislove

Value: the defined value is used
Game Variable: the value of the defined game variable is used.

E.g. using Value 'key' will use 'key'.
Using Game Variable 'key' will use whatever is stored in game variable 'key'.

Alex1234

hang with me because i still don't get what is the difference :)

i will use the simpleprosperity event i made as example..

i set a event dialogue steps that every time i talked to that dude it increases the prosperity by 1.. in the change variable step i set the value type of prosperity variable to value and it worked just fine, the prosperity are increasing however it doesn't work whenever i set the value type of prosperity to game variable that's the part i get confused

gamingislove

The Value Type of the variable key settings is only for the variable key, not for the type of the variable.

Alex1234

i understand now! thanks gil :)
