What are conditionals? And how do I use them?
A conditional (or conditional branch) is used to execute different event commands depending on a defined condition. The conditonal is the equivalent of the programming “if” statement. Basically, if the specified condition is true, a certain set of event commands are executed. If the condition is not true, and you’ve checked the “Execute Custom Handler When Condition Not Met” box, a different set of event commands is executed. Some situations in which using a conditional would be appropriate are checking to see if a switch is on, the status of a variable, if a local switch is on, if the player has a certain item… The list goes on. Conditionals are vital to making successful and engaging RPGs. For a more in depth look at conditionals, take a minute and read through this short tutorial.
