Labels vs Loops in common events?

[Sekunri]

Not sure if this will get answered in time to fix it before Game Jam is over but I made a few common events with Labels in them and it seems like they aren't working. I was wondering why and if Loops would actually function in this equation.


I'm going to proceed with finishing what I have left of my game before potentially going back to change all of those to loops.


Basic structure of the Labels is as follows


If Variable: Pie = 2


Label Reroll 1


Variable: Randomizer = Random (1-5)


If Randomizer =  # (this repeats for each value)


---If ValueA = 1 (this value depends on what I've personally decided was the limit, in this case 1)


------Jump to Reroll 1


---End.


Set ValueA += 1


Set SwitchA to ON


End


ValueA starts at 0.


An event before this one will randomize a series of other common events to run formulas similar to the one above. However the check failed as evident by what I saw in game where 3 events gave the same value in a location that should only accept 1 events value.

Could you give us a screen of the event instead of this ? It would be more easy to understand, because actually it's hard for me to understand your problem.

Wait...
you set A to 0, began the loop, ended the loop if A = 1, and only AFTER the loop changed A to +1, in this case, to 1.
So... it won't stop looping because A will never get to 1.


You need to put the A + 1 inside the loop.


This is the error I'm seeing. Would be easier to tell if we could see the event itself.

No, that Label should work. I use an event in one of my games that looks just like that. Post a screenshot of the event page?

 

[YoraeRasante]

@Milennin the problem is not the label, the problem is that the label only makes the loop happen if A = 1 and A is only equal to 1 after the loop.
So he either put the label if A < 1 or changes A to 1 before the value check of A.

Well in order to fix this I guess I should post the code though... it's kind of long.


Purpose of the code is to handle my small games "NPC" locations. Luckily I use a LOT of comments while making events for when I have to revisit them. So I shouldn't need to explain too much. There is one of these events per "NPC".


And as a reminder, the events I'm calling NPC seem to function properly its just that this call stuff a hoard of them into a room that it wasn't supposed to be able to do.


(You don't typically have 3 people in the bathroom with you is what I'm saying.)


You can CTRL + F to specifically Bathroom 1 or Bathroom 2 for the room with 1 as the limiter but the entire event is relevant and has the same structure.

There was an issue with how it formatted from the RPG Maker to the forums. I fixed it using the Code BBCode so it should show up now.


Unfortunately when I tried to set it to Javascript for its coloring scheme the sites plugin kept failing for me so its all black text.


The above behaviors are called by the following common event within an event.

The idea here was to do 2 things.


1. Have a simple call so that all behaviors process.


2. Have a means to randomize the call orders so that characters have an "equal" chance of checking certain rooms.


My example could be the Bathroom I mentioned. If the call was always any single NPC and the code was working properly then only the first called character that went to the bathroom would ever have a shot. That said it could lead to instance with character 7 is significantly less likely to ever enter it. So with the randomization it gives them all an equal chance to select a room first.

 

[YoraeRasante]

I see. So the variables are changed from OTHER events too?


That changes it.


Are you resetting the "room population" variables between randomizations? Because in your main "patter randomizer" event there is no resetting.

 

[Sekunri]

The events that call the Behavior Calls common event that calls all the NPC Behavior events has a call at the beginning that resets the range of variables to 0 prior.


The event order is as follows:


1. Set all variables in the population range to 0.


2. Call Behavior Calls


---- This calls all the NPC behaviors in their randomized order


3. Sets the player's location and increases population by 1. (this is hardcoded, no conditionals so the player can break the population limit)


4. Calls "Killer Behaviors".


In retrospect I do like the idea of just having it in the pattern randomizer. I'll do that before the randomizer method happens. Makes for cleaner events.

 

[YoraeRasante]

Ok, could you remind me what is the problem? I recall you sayin they aren't working but not what is going wrong.

 

[Sekunri]

Simply put the use of the labels as used in my code should send force a re-roll of the randomizer variable in cases where a rooms population is at capacity by sending the function back to the earlier label, creating a small loop.


Despite this there are rooms that end up with a higher capacity than I have designated for them.

 

[YoraeRasante]

Are the variables changing properly?
Did you try using >= instead of just =?
