Variables Guide For beginners! Download links: Without RTP (4.8M Link (bug fixed) With RTP (191M LinkAre you a budding new RMVX Ace user, but still find it difficult to grasp variables? Look no further, this playable Variables Guide project will teach you what variables are, what you can do with them, and how to use it in gameplay. To get the full experience of this guide, please play through it first, and then when you're finished, open the project with RPG Maker VX Ace and look inside of the events. It has comments scattered all around to teach you how to use variables even further. Warning! This guide is meant for people who have already started using RPG Maker VX Ace, and therefor already have knowledge about: (self) switches event pages conditional branches Because otherwise, you're going to be very, very confused. This guide is not meant as a direct starting point to get to know the program, but it's to help people who struggle to understand variables. So are you a complete newbie? Please check out some other beginner tutorials first! For example, the switches tutorial. Note: the mod operand isn't explained in this guide. If you want to know what it does, click here. This guide also doesn't cover map coordinates nor terrain tags. I feel that these will naturally come to you as you get better at the program. I will not answer questions about variables in this thread, please use the support forum for that. I will however, answer anything about the project itself, or fix any bugs you might encounter and report. Credit goes to JV Master for the Skip Titlescreen script.

Considering it was written for ACE, it will not run in MV. They are two completely different programs. Search and see if someone has written one for MV.

Tried this game. I'm just as confused as I was before going in. This did not explain things to me at all. I even checked the events and I'm still lost. Everything might as well be written in ancient Greek. Maybe do a tutorial for people who are not very computer literate.

I use MZ, and I found all of the tutorials to still be completely relevant. I found this tutorial fairly easy to understand, and fun to play, too! I had a little bit of previous knowledge of variables from Visual Novel Maker (though they're a lot easier to use in RPG Maker) and from tinkering around in MZ.

The use of variables has nothing to do with computers, it is pure mathematics.

advanced mathematics, yes, and nothing that is taught before the advanced school terms (in my country usually around ninth or tenth school year in the advanced school forms) - but it is pure mathematics.

computers are only good at mathematics and require its use in programming, but they do not originate variables...

And because variables are mathematics, this tutorial is of course usable with all makers...

In the USA, pre-algebra introduces the concepts of variables (solve for X) and typically starts in 6th grade, according to the Common Core.

Ah. Math was never my best subject. It was actually one of my worst.
