Can anyone give me a simple explanation of variables, please


I had this problem where sometimes I have a specific variable in map 1 and I transfer it to map 2, but the past variable (map 2) keeps playing (event 1) instead of the variable that I set for event 2. is this normal??

This is very confusing. You don't transfer variables from one map to the next.

If you mean you are setting a variable then transferring to another map, and an event on that map uses that variable to activate a different page and that's not happening, you probably either have something else on map 2 that's changing the variable, or your event is not set up correctly.

Perhaps you should show screenshots of your events so we can see.

I am equally as confused as @Shaz . Actually, I am probably more confused.

But here are some tutorial videos that might help you understand Variables better. These content creators have entire series of tutorials that are very good.









Good luck!

Please double check your terminology from the game screens - per the above replies, what you're saying doesn't make any sense.

As for the question, a variable is exactly as you remember it from grade school math. When you're given something like
x + 6
and the result of the equation will be different depending on what number you stored in x

Resisting the urge to bust out watching spooky things all over. I still have days until it's Halloween month, gotta ration!

I'm curious, how many hours in RPG Maker do you have? I'm clocked in at 2100 hours on MV and the vast majority of it is for one game. I wish I could track how much I used XP back in the day, I was on it a lot.
Why is it so early? Can I have twenty more minutes of sleep, please?
