Conditional Script Help!

[Jory4001]

I have an event with a conditional that needs the "Script" so it can check multiple things at once, If (A < C) && (A > D) Then...


I tried:


$gameVariables.(26) > 60 && $gameVariables(26) < 81;


but I get a syntax error "("


I am fairly familiar with javascript conditionals and have do many in my plugins, but I'm not sure how the "Script" event handles them...

$gameVariables.value(26) > 60 && $gameVariables.value(26) < 81 is the correct syntax.


Don't forget you can also nest Conditional Branches within each other (place the < 81 check inside the block that runs if it's > 60) - in this case, this approach would save you from needing to remember JS syntax (though there are things you might need to check like a troop member's current TP that would require a scripted condition).

the script option is javascript, but you used the wrong names. Check the forum for the correct function names to get the values of the variables.


Additionally, the syntax error in that form was caused by the point before the (

Thanks, I knew about nesting the Conditionals, but that is very inefficient!


the .value was what I was missing! I Checked the forums and google and found nothing, I also checked the script call equivalent page and it only showed how to set a variable.


Thanks for the Help!

You're welcome!


What I've done to figure out the correct syntax when unsure (which is 80% of the time, lol) is to open up the game's scripts (accessible from the game's 'js' folder) and search for words that I think might be useful, such as "variables".  Sometimes you need to luck upon the right word, or search through a lot of irrelevant results, but eventually you'll usually find a good example of how to use the syntax you need.

the Game_Interpreter class within the rpg_objects.js file is a good one.  If you can do it through an event command, that section of code will show the js behind that command.  You'll learn a whole lot by studying the Game_Interpreter functions.
