Hi,
I'm really new to this RPG Maker stuff, so I get stuck sometimes without knowing how to fix some "bugs" (I don't know a better way to call these problems). Going straight to the point, I'm trying to make some kind of an adventure game and decided that I wanted to be able to choose if the player wants to be a male or a female. I found a lot of helpful tutorials on YouTube in order to make this possible, but I didn't like the idea of a game being so basic as to just choose male or female and that's it: I want to make a game that truly knows if your playing as either gender. I thought that making two variables called "male" and "female" would do the trick. As the player choose their gender, the variable of the specific gender will be set to 1, so I also thought that, when making every event, I should use two conditions; one for male and another one for female and only execute if said variable was set to 1.
So, this is my problem: they just don't seem to work as expected. Although I use the Change Item command, it just won't work and I can't seem to figure out why. I made sure that the item was there and that I can give it to a generic character. I'd like to post a screenshot, but I'm not using RPG Maker MV in English, but in my native language, so its just... Pointless. So I researched for the English commands and will write down the content of an example event (it being a body with a book on its hands):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAGE 1
>If : male = 1
>Message : It seems someone died here ... They have a really strange book on their hands.
>Change Item : Strange Diary + 1
>Message : I should keep going on and read this later.
: end
>if : female = 1
>Message : Someone died here... Looks like they have a book on their hands.
>Change Item : Strange Diary + 1
>Message : I should keep going if I don't want to meet the same fate.
: end
>Control Self Switch : A = ON
PAGE 2 (With Self Switch A as condition).
>Message : It's a dead body.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the event is a "dead body", I set the Autonomous Movement to "Fixed", Options to "Direction Fix", Priority to "Same as characters" and Trigger to "Action Button" in bot pages (I don't really think it was really necessary to specify this, but could help somehow).
The result form that event is that it actually shows the correct messages to the specified gender, but won't give the item to the character nor show the message from the second page.
It should be noted that I'm using some plugins in order to give the project a little pinch of magic. Here is the list:
-Community_Basic (Don´t even know how it works)
-KhasCore 2.0
-KhasGraphics 1.1
-KhasUltraLighting 4.2
So, that's it. Hope someone can help me with this as I really want to finish this project. I also apologize for any grammar mistakes.
Thanks in advance!
