 [TUTORIAL] The IF Controller RPG Maker TutorialTopic: Control Structures: Conditional Branching(If, Else, ElsIf and Unless) Creator: Melchior M. Philips Version: VX/XP Coding: Yes Difficulty: Intermediate For a litle introduction to coding into ruby, here's one of the most important things in coding: Controllers. today we're focussing on Conditional Branching. all conditions have exactly the same structure: Quote: if (expression)
then (do this)
else
(do this)
end
there's not alot to explain. If just checks if an expression is true. if yes: do something. If no: do something else(defined under else). A little bit more complex is the Elsif. Elsif is used when IF (expression) is not true, and there are more expressions to check. they are structured like so: Quote: if (expression) #If this expression is true:
then (do this) #Then do this.
ifelse (other expressions) #If the previous expression if false, but this one is true:
then (do this) #The do This
else #when both expressions are false:
(do this) #do this
end #end "If" Controller
here's a simple example for use in for example an inn: Quote: $child fee = "10$"
$adult fee = "25$"
if age >= 18 then
print "adult fee¥n"
else
print "child fee¥n"
end
Here's a more complex version using Elsif: Quote: $child fee = "10$"
$adult fee = "25$"
$senior fee = "15$"
if age < 18 then
print #{$child fee}"
elsif age > 65 then
print #{$senior fee}"
else
print #{$adult fee}"
end
There's also the Unless controller. it is the exact opposite of IF. it tells you not to do it, Unless this expression is true. Example: Quote: unless baby?
feed_meat
else
feed_milk
end
Basically, this little script tells you you're giving your child meat UNLESS it's still a baby. In case you're wondering what the deal is with the #{$"something"}, consult my unexsisting tutorial on Expressions that I've actually should've made before this one... I'll make it someday. anyway, I hope this kinda helped you along with your scripting adventures! Greetings - Melchior M. "Mind Controller" Philips

Re: RPGmaker Tutorial: The IF Controller Actually this is pretty basic stuff that can be interpreted in both.
In the script editor, you can put this pretty much everywhere.
And sorry that I suck at explaining.
Just stick to my Beginner tutorials Ryon, you'll get it eventually.

Oh darn, I was actually trying to be genuinly nice to Ryon for once. ah well. I have to admit, Ruby(or RGSS for that matter) is very confusing. if you're not used to coding it can frustrate you untill your hair falls out. you want to slowly build up to being an awesome scripter. follow all the basic tutorials. when you find then too easy, go to Intermediate. afterwards, go to advanced, and when you're done with that see the Professional Tutorials(which do not exsist, as I'm not a pro myself). coding is something you build up. some stuff even confuses me. don't be sad or mad if you don't get stuff.

Re: RPGmaker Tutorial: The IF Controller Here, let me further explain the simple example: Quote: if age >= 18 then
print "adult fee¥n"
else
print "child fee¥n"
end
Quite basically, this script checks if your characters age is equal to or higher than 18. if this is true, a window will display the fee for adults If the previous expression is false(if he's below 18) It will display the fee for children. end = identifier for the end of a piece of script Here's it all summed up: IF: checks if the expression behind is it true ELSE: Specifies what to do if all previous expressions are false(if) or true(unless) ELSIF: The same as Ifelse. If the previous expression(s) is/are not true, check if this one is true UNLESS: Specifies what not to do unless the following expression is true If you still don't get it I probably just suck at explaining.
