General Help with Yanfly Plugins And JS

[LuLingqi1]

In yanfly's codes and stuff to copy and paste, there are sometimes things like


" // This will increase the actors mp "


Which is jsut explaining what the current line of code is going to do. Do i need to erase these or will the code work fine with them still there?

Anything with the // in front of are called comments, and can be erased as long as you only erase the comment part. But it is advised that you do NOT do that, as uncommented code is very hard to read and understand later down the line.


Plus, if you don't know JavaScript you might accidentally erase a key part of the code. I'd recommend only even considering this if you know JavaScript. Else, edit at your own risk.

additionally, erasing comment lines will also change the line numbering, and can lead to confusion on error messages when the line with the error is no longer on the same line number it originally was.

@bgillisp & @Andar, so then I don't have to erase them, and you're both advising me not to erase them at all?

 

[Andar]

exactly - you should not change anything in script or plugins unless it's an official configuration option.
