Some labels questions.

Hi everyone,

I find labels really useful for dialogue options so the player can ask a question and then go back to the question selection and not have to talk to the NPC again, but I'm not sure about some things.

- Are the labels local? (I'm not sure if thats what you would call them; By this I mean that only the event that has a ''label'' can access it)

- Can you jump to labels that are on different pages of the same event somehow?

Thanks!

(Also, this is slightly off topic, but I noticed that some people really don't like labels; is there something wrong with them programming wise; ie lag etc?)

1) yes


2) no


3) not programming wise - the problem is that they need you (the programmer) to be careful with your logic, or they will break your sequences.


Correctly used they are good - if you don't know how to use them, they can produce a lot of bugs.


Basically, Label's are RM's equivalent of the "GOTO" command - and you can find dozens of rants on the internet why a good programmer should use gosub instead of goto, but for some cases there is no alternative...

Great, thanks for the quick response.

Feel free to close.

I love labels. But yes, you have to know how to use them properly.
