picking the right choice in order

wheew hey guys, please help me... AGAIN =)) i think this is going to be a tough one, since I have little idea on how to do it.

so i have a puzzle in my game and it goes like this:

there's this girl that gets injured in my game and then you have to help her

then the player equipped with a first aid kit says "hmm which do i use FIRST?"
then just for example, let's say the game displays choices which are:

-water

-bandaid

-cotton

-disinfectant

the thing is, if the player has to choose in the right order, so that he solves this puzzle.

if not, he has to try again.

so umm is this puzzle of mine possible to do in rpg maker ace?

if it is, please help me :(

yes, you need to use variables to detect and compare the correct choice in each step.


Variables and switches are the most needed basic element for anything that is more than the simplest quest - if you don't know how to use them, stop working on your game and follow the link in my signature until you've found the "variables guide" and play that until you know how to use variables.

Can't you do something like adding +1 to a variable in the choice if its made in the right order, and check if the number is 4. If it is not, then you failed and retry? Just how I'd do it.

ahh the tutorial thingy in your signature is so long @_@ but it was helpful :) thanks Andar

kiedisticelixer, hmm i used switches for this, but i guess yours is more efficient :)

Did you get it resolved?

It depends on what you want to do if they do something in the WRONG order.  Do you want them to do all the steps and then check?  Or do you want to reset everything as soon as they've done something wrong?  Each way has a better or more efficient result.

But if you've got it working, you've got it working, and the rest is academic :)

I wanted it to reset everything, but I couldn't do that with switches, so next time, I'm going to follow their advice and use variables =)

Yeah, it got resolved :D thanks everyone!
