Hello, all. I'm using Yanfly's Common Event Menu plug-in to create what is basically a "choose character" menu. Here's a link to the plug-in for those who may not be familiar:

This plug-in comes with some built-in comment tags you can use to manipulate certain things. For example, you can use:
<Picture: x>
To change what picture is displayed while a certain choice is selected. To use the comment tags, all you do is place them in a common event. I would like to add another comment tag of my own which allows you to manipulate a variable. Maybe something like:
<Variable: [varID], [value]>
That way, I can use a variable to manipulate a sprite that is drawn on screen which corresponds to the currently selected choice. I've been trying for a few hours to edit the plug-in, but I can't get this to work. I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could assist me with this.
I just don't understand how the information in the comment tags is being stored, or how to retrieve it so that I can add a change variable command to the plug-in. I constantly get "undefined" errors. I've even tried to use <Picture: X> tag to manipulate a variable rather than add a new comment tag, but that doesn't work either.
The reason I don't want to use a picture is because I want a walking sprite for each selection to show on screen, and this will be easier to do if I can simply change a variable.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
