Need a special script

[adam4landry]

Hello Everyone i have a script request, i want a script that allow the player to chose between a boy main character or a girl main character before starting a game i don't no if a script like that exist can anyone help me please ?????

that does not require script, only eventing - search the forum for several topics where it was asked before, but basically you use an autorun event on first map with show choice, and then use either the change member command between two different actors, or the change actor graphic and change actor name command for the single actor.


I've moved this thread to Ace Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


(If you're using a different maker than Ace, please state which one and a mod will move to the correct area

That not what i mean take pokemon for exemple before starting a game the player must chose if he a boy or a girl i don't if that helps ????

Still doesn't require a script, just a show choices window at the start of the game and proper handling of the players choice later on.

Really   huh i did not no that but, what about say if the boy and the girl have diffrent storylines do i need a special script for that like take megaman zx for exemple vent and aile have diffrent storylines but they have the same misson i don't no if you no what i mean ????

Basically all you need is a switch, let's call it "isMale", that is set ON or OFF depending on player choice (for more complex decision you can use a variable, but since there are only 2 choices, a switch suffices). Wherever the story differs depending on the choice you then ask for the switch and act accordingly.

 

[bgillisp]

Yes, the switch will work perfectly. Or, you could do a variable, set it to 1 for Male, 2 for Female. However, you will need to write events for both cases (and storylines). Even a script won't help you with that, all a script might do is (maybe) save a little time on the menu display in the end.

Unfortunately, switches and variables are the most important part of the engine as soon as you want to do anything more complex than a simple "go there" quest.


That means you'll need to learn how to use switches and variables in general instead of their specific use here, or you'll end up asking questions about switches and variables every other day.


There are several general tutorials about variables and switches. Please follow the link in my signature as I have collected a lot of general information and the most important tutorials there.
