Question and Answer.

Ok, if you guys have any questions, here is the place to ask them, and I will answer them.

The requirements for the code are the following:

• Make a working class that is called in a 'Call Script' named 'Class_Test' (Don't forget the 'new'!)
  
• In the class, there needs to be two methods: initialize and one of any name you wish.
  
• In the initialization, define 1 local variable and 2 instance variables, and print hte local variable.
  
• In the second method, print the other two instance variables.
  

 

Can you explain these instructions to me? I dont know what a call script is or what you meant by "(Don't forget the 'new'!)"

[Leon 55]

Call script means the final option on the last page of the event comands called 'Script'.

 

As for the don't forget the '.new', that means that when you use the a class named Leon_Class, and it has the initialize method, to activate it, with the 'Script' option, use use:

Leon_Class.new

 

Doe;s that help you?

I think so. I'm still pretty new at coding in general. :P

 

EDIT: whoops I came across a no method error. I'm not really sure what that means. I created an NPC on my map and then I used the "Call Script" command on him when you try to talk to him. A window pops up "Printing" the 3 variables and then it says

NoMethodError occurred while running script.

undefined method `call for #<Interpreter:0x2275ed0>

 

Can you tell me what went wrong?

The script I used

class Class_Test

def initialize

@variable1 = 1

@variable2 = 2

localVariable = 3

print localVariable

method_2

end

 

def method_2

print @variable1

print @variable2

end

end

Check your Call Script command. make sure you didnt put in a ' in the box, because i used:

Class_Test.new

and it worked for me.

I didn't use the ' in the box. Although I did figure out the problem. In the call script command I accidentally typed "call Class_test.new". I deleted the word call and it worked fine ;)

 

So does this mean I passed the first assignment? :lol:

[Leon 55]

Si. But, the second assignment will still be a while... I am working on a site to put all of this on.

Oi!

 

I've written out the code for your first assignment, but I can't figure out how to actually run it to see if it works.

[Leon 55]

It has been a long time since i looked at the assignment, can you post the code here so i may see?

[Maph 0]

Certainly!

 

class Class_test.new
 def initialize
   taco=5
   @snickers=3
   @cheese=4
   p taco
   mod2
 end
 def mod2
   p @snickers
   p @ cheese
 end
end

[Leon 55]

Certainly!

 

class Class_test.new
 def initialize
   taco=5
   @snickers=3
   @cheese=4
   p taco
   mod2
 end
 def mod2
   p @snickers
   p @ cheese
 end
end

 

Ok, first, you remove the '.new' from the end of the class name. Instead, you use that to call it.

Speaking of which, to do so, you use the Script... Command in an event. (The third page, bottom right corner).

There, you would use Class_test.new

Then, walk up to the event and press enter.

You should get: 5, 3, 4 in that order.

Ah thanks. I have experience in programming with python, and I've found that RGSS isn't so different. I just needed to know how to actually run the thing.

 

By the way, right on for promoting good structure and commenting. I didn't comment in a little test like that, but I can vouch for how much time it can save you.
