I struggle to thing of someone more noobish than myself when it comes to coding anything. So I figured one thread may be best to contain all my inane queries. First up: I decided to try and code the first little intro chapter I have, but I literally have gotten stuck on the first line. I’ve never…

The percentage calculations are an interesting way to do it. thanks for the advice. My work around for the achievements is just to call them things like: Chapter 1: Stonebreaker Chapter 2: Stonemender so the chapter they can be achieved in is visible. I might see about fiddling with ui.js at a l…

You might want to create a file to visualize the achievements and access it through an option in the stats page. Then you can customise it to your liking. Just an idea.

[image] cup_half_empty: Just an idea. But a good one. Is there a way to use whether an achievement has been achieved or not in an *if conditional? or would I need to set another “achievement variable” to true if the conditions are met for the achievement?

You can use *check_achievements . This will generate temporary variables that you can call to—well—check if achievements have been achieved. Then you can display or switch information using if statements. That’s a cool idea.

[image] cup_half_empty: *check_achievements . Oh wow, I had not see that there was this command. Thanks a bunch that will make things much easier for my custom screen. Thanks!

No for testing purposes, but when you plan to publish, it’s implied that you have to keep the license in your work. And hiding it behind a *comment seems the proper way.

Okay, hooray for noob coding thread, I have a question: I recently read in another thread somewhere that using multiple *if’s is not recommended, instead it’s ideal that you use *if in tandem with *else and *elseif. Could someone explain why? For some reason I’ve stupidly been using *if (var) and …

From what I’ve learned (and hopefully I’m understanding at least a little bit of this, is that) it’s used to ensure that there will be less pesky bugs. It’s used as a debugging aid and ensures that it doesn’t come up with an error. Error: none of the conditions in Label XYZ applied, is one of them. …

There a couple reasons why you’d prefere to use if/elseif/else combo in place of consecutive if. First of all and probably the less interesting one is the performance issue. Granted, it is negligible. Still, when the game engine resolves as true any of the statements in a combo, it skips the rest…
