Variables and Condition Switches

[Christian Smith]

I am kinda considered a RPGMaker VX Ace Amateur, and have no knowledge of Scripting yet, but however I have to ask something. I am working on different types of events and how they work, but I have a question on Switches and Variables. What is the exact purpose of them and how do they work?

You have posted this in the forum for VX, but say that you are using VXAce. Please note that these are not the same, and solutions for one may well not work for the other.

As for your query - switches and variables are fundamental to making games. I think you would find it helpful to work through Andar's compilation of info for new users. One of the things he links to is a playable tutorial on switches and variables. If you work through this, and the other info he gives, you will then have a sound grasp of how the engine works and what it does. This will save you a huge amount of time and frustration in the future.
