Save Value Command
OVERVIEW
Saves the Value? of a Data Source? to a Variable or a Switch.
Source
A source is something in the engine that lets you pull data from it. They generally exist in three categories:
Non-Contextual - Does not require a Unique ID.
E.g. Camera, Game, Party.
Contextual - Requires a Unique ID based on Context.
E.g. Equipment, Hero, Skill.
Database - Requires an Index Value?, and draws directly from the Database.
E.g. Database - Character.
Variable saves the Value? of a character string (text), to an integer (whole number) or a floating point (floating point number).
Switch checks for a true or false value.
E.g. Equipment Slot / Is Occupied. If true = on if false = off.
Unique IDs can be saved from data sources like, Party, Battle Manager, or from commands like Save Entity Unique ID? or Save Context Unique ID?.
