Red Tutorials: Cheat Code System

RED TUTORIALS : CHEAT CODE SYSTEM
-----------------------------------------
Have a game where you want to add a little help to the player who doesn't want to play through right? I do because when I play RMXP games I usually just beef up my stats for playing anyway, because I'm more interested in seeing the games story and world. So I'll tell you how to do this. First go into the Database, then to Actors. Change an existing actor or create a new one by clicking Change Maximum. Make sure the actors name is blank. Once that is done, click to the tab that says Common Events. create a new event and set the trigger to Parallel. Now, double click the @ symbol and we will begin. On Page 1, click Conditional Branch then Page 4. On page for, tick 'Button' Now this is where we will put what needs to be pressed to activate the input screen. Down, Left, Right, and Up are self-explanatory, but the letter buttons are not what they say. The buttons are mapped to keys on your keyboard. You can check what they are by playtesting, hitting F1, and going to the third tab. Once you put what you want them to press, click OK. Now, if you want them to press more than one button, simply repeat the process above where it says Else. Now, once you've done the input process, now we will create the input screen. Go to where the last button input was and start a new event above else. On Page 3, click Name Input Processing The actor who's name you want to change will be the one who's name is blank. For Max Characters set at minimum, how many letters are in the code, but I suggest more. Now under where you clicked Name Input Processing, make another Conditional branch. This time, go to Page 2 and tick Actor in the box, select the Actor with the blank name. now Tick where it says Name. In the box, put what you want the code to be. Above else, put the Players reward. Under else, you may want to put an Error message. if you want the player to be able to retry, create a Label found on Page 1 above Name Input processing and put Jump To Label under the else. Now your almost done! in the room where you want this code activated, create a new event, then click 'Call Common Event' on the first page and select the event you used. Voila, a cheat code system! Pleased to enjoy!
