Display Variable Result

First off, I would like to apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I looked at some of the topics posted here and this seemed to fit.

I was toying with a concept in my project which basically (through the normal options given by the game's event interface) create's a certain set of variables, identifies the weakest of those variables, adds the remaining variables together, and then displays the sum of said variables. It was pretty easy to figure out- all but the last part. I can't seem to find a way to display the resulting number without doing a TON of conditional branches.

It's 12:40, so I may have simply missed something because I'm tired, but I would appreciate any and all help. I'd prefer not to use scripts since this is literally the only thing I would need a script for, as I'm not making a 'game' per se, but more like a tool to aid in something.

If it turns out that I absolutely HAVE to use a script I will, but if the only way to go about doing it is a bunch of conditional branches then I'll just leave it out.

Thanks for the help!

You can display what's in a variable, in a text box, by typing \V[id] where id is the variable number.

Thanks! I totally forgot about that.

One more problem, I previously stated that my plan was to display the sum of the variables, but what I thought at the time was to control a new variable to be equal to the sums of the generated variables- I just can't seem to figure out how to do it.

I've tried adding Var(x) to Var(y), but when I enter the command for it, that's all it does- adds them. Does it override Var(x) to become the new Var(y)? And if so, then would this work?

(link is a screenshot of the event editor)

P.S. the reason I can't test the above is because the tool I'm creating is not complete yet, and this is supposed to yield the result of the tool.

Control Variables [0001 Var 1] = Variable [0002 Var 2] + Variable [0003 Var 3]Control Variables [0001 Var 1] += Variable [0004 Var 4]Control Variables [0001 Var 1] += Variable [0005 Var 5]Control Variables [0001 Var 1] += Variable [0006 Var 6]So you do the first sum of two variables into the "placeholder" variable. Then with each command you ADD the next variable to it (don't just use Set).

Then use \V[1] to display variable 1's content.

Your screenshot didn't work, btw.

It seems that I can open the screenshot by copy and pasting the link into the address bar. I'll create an event with what you showed me for when I complete the tool to see if it works. Thanks!

The screenshot works for me.



You're not displaying the "w" variable in the text box, though -- 26 instead of 21. Is that on purpose?

Yah it was just an example...I forgot what the w variable was so I put what I knew the number was around.

Anyways, using the line of commands posted, will it work?

If you display the right variable, it will.


If you're adding to variable 21, use \V[21] to display it.


Still, \V[26] should have given you 0 if you hadn't put anything into it yet. Variables are always 0 by default.
