TPASMALL'S PROFILE

I tried that, but it wasn't what I needed. I've been watching scripting tutorials and finally figured it out. I had to set @troop_id as attr_accessor in game troop. The script I made will be available soon! Thanks for the help though!

so this is the point i've gotten to. this is the formula that gets the number i need.

def make_encounter_troop_id
encounter_list = $game_map.encounter_list.clone
for area in $data_areas.values
encounter_list += area.encounter_list if in_area?(area)
end
if encounter_list.empty?
make_encounter_count
return 0
end
return encounter_list(rand(encounter_list.size))
end


when i call game_player.make_encounter_troop_id though, it re-runs this formula instead of giving me its value. any idea on how i can get the value from the first time it was run without running the formula a second time?

Another way to do step 2 is to make the event with no graphic, then set the graphic when he enters the screen.

I figured it out!

$game_player.make_encounter_troop_id

I'm attempting to make a script and I need to use the troop number as a variable. Any ideas on how to do this?

I've tried:
$game_troop.troop_id
and
$game_enemy.index

but neither of those seem to work.
