I am attempting to use variables to switch battle scenes.

I have "is variable" checked and the name of "targetSceneName" but i do not know what event node to use to set "targetSceneName" to a specific scene



this is what i have autostarted. but this does not cause it to go to the correct battle area. what could i be missing and how can i fix it

Can't really see the picture, but you need to use a Change Game Variables node for that. E.g. used in an Autostart event in the scene to set the battle scene for that scene.

Idk why the picture suddenly stopped working but i fixed it. in case it happens again i will describe it here.

Im using "Change Game Variables"

Yariable Origin: Global
Value Type: Game Variable
Value: targetSceneName (the name of the variable i placed in the battle start event)

Type: String
Value Type: Value
Value: battle_room_prison (the name of the battle scene)

I attempted to use "scene name" under value type instead but it seems like that is for the current scene, instead of leading to a different scene.

Set Value Type to Value, since you directly define the variable's key. The Game Variable value type means that the key you're using is stored in another game variable.

I will test it ASAP and let you know the results.

It worked! after i got it to work, I created a variable event and added it there instead. that also worked.
