Relationship Goal

[KayZaman]

Well, it's too soon to ask this question even I need to study how to use variable switch.


I wanna make few events where hero have relationship bond with his/her partner or other character. In the end, one of few characters will having a special event if player reached his relationship goal, like marry,friendship, brotherhood or something.


Example, you,Harold, choose who you wanna talk to. Theresa, Marsha, or Nina. Every event, who you wanna talk, you get relationship point. Like, you talk Theresa more than other, in the end, special event happen between Harold and Theresa. 


Get it?


Well, I need support but you can teach me how to manage variable switch. Thank you

@KayZaman...


You'd be best served by going through a few tutorials, to get a wider grasp on how all of this stuff works, I'd say. Nevertheless, I'll try to answer your question...


A Switch is a Switch; it's either On or Off. There are no 'Variable' Switches. For doing as you describe, you'll need a Variable in which to accumulate these Relationship Points. At any suitable moment (depending on your game-play...), you'll test the value of this Variable, and if it has reached the threshold required, the Switch should be turned On.


Is this any help to you..?

@Dad3353 summed it up. You store the value of the relationship in a variable, and increase it (or decrease it) depending on actions, then at the end run  a check to see what the value of the variable is, play the scene based on that value.


You'll also figure out who to handle ties, as those can occur.

I once worked with something similar. Used a variable for Relationship Points that increased or decreased depending on choices and situations. When reaching a certain amount of points, my characters learned a new combo move that they could do together.
