Please note: Rather than explaining how each thing works, I am giving examples of features that can be included in a game without including the raw code. I hope that these inspire you to experiment and play around with switches and variables.
I. What is it?
-> What is it? <-
The Enter Password function is a line of RM2k code that simply tells which button you pressed and then stores it into a variable.
-> Where is it? <-
It is located on the third page of the Event Commands, on the left side seventh from the top.
-> Could you explain the button a little better? <-
There are four checkboxes and a dropdown menu. The variable you select is where the value of the key is stored. The "Wait until pressed" will not store a variable until a key is pressed. The remaining three tell the RM2k what keys to recognize when you press a button. The values of the keys are as follows:
6= Escape, NumPad 0
5= Enter/Return, Spacebar
4= Up, NumPad 8
3= Right, NumPad 6
2= Left, NumPad 4
1= Down, NumPad 2
II. Uses of the Enter Password
While it is possible to create a password with this, it's mainly used to create custom systems and mini-games.
In a Custom Battle System, the Enter Password can be used to select battle commands or even to impliment multi-key combinations. (Ex. Up, Up, Up=Special Attack).
In a Custom Menu System, you could use it to select options from the menu.
For use with a mini-game, anything can happen, depending on the mini-game.
III. REAL Password Function [Difficulty: Beginner]
{You need 1 variable}
So you want an actual password? The following can help you with making a number password. To include letters, you'd need to make a Custom Password System.
--------------------
- Make a new event.
- For the Event Conditions, leave everything blank.
- For the Graphic, set it to a gate or something that might need a password.
- For the Event Start Conditions, set it to Push Key and Same Level as Hero
- For the Movement Type, make it stay still.
- Double-click on the Event Commands
- Show message, "What's the password?"
- Input Number, 3 digits and store into a variable.
- Make a Fork Condition (Check variable, type the password number, and select same.
(In the fork)
- Show message, "Correct!"
- Do whatever else you want.
(In the Else case)
**You can change the text messages to whatever you want**
