Creating Radios/Codecs

What you need:
-1 Common Event
-1 Variable, 2 if you want random speech
-Conditional Branches

First, go into your Common Events and make a new event, name it Radio, or whatever your device is.

Then, create a Conditional Branch, to see if the key "A", Z on your keyboard, is pressed.

Under that, Have text saying something like:
You turn on your radio, please select your radio channel.

Next, make a Number Input, 4 Digits(or however many you want), and store as a new variable, I called it Radio Channel.

After that, Conditional Branch, if Radio Channel is equal to 1074, then show text:
Channel 1074, Adventuring Music Network!

Then, you can have it play a BGM. For this, you should probably do the whole "memorize BGM" to make it so if you turn your radio off, there isn't any sound anymore.


Then, another Conditional Branch. Let's try a Comedy Network. If Radio Channel is equal to 2487, then show text:
Channel 2487, Comedy Everyday!

New Variable, Random Joke: Random # 1-4.

Conditional Branch, if Random Joke is equal to 1, then show text:
"What did the banana say to the apple?"
"Doesn't matter, kill yourself"

under the "else", if Random Joke is equal to 2, then show text:
"What did the Priest say to the Rabbi?"
"Your Jew's untied!"

under the "else", if Random Joke is equal to 3, then show text:
"In Soviet Russia, RPG makes you!"

under the "else", if Random Joke is equal to 4, then show text:
"So a guy walks into a bar, and...... er.... Aw crap, I forgot the line...."

Under next "else", show the message:
"Invalid Radio Channel"


And now a message to someone, or you!
Conditional Branch, if Radio Channel is equal to 0942, then show text:
Hey Snake. Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!


Here's what it should look like:









And that's pretty much it. Fairly basic, so you could add effects like advanced messages(dependant on the weather, time of day, randomized, etc. I believe another tutorial has that covered). For a Codec, you could have it so when you press the "A" key, it shows a picture of the Metal Gear Solid codec screen, and show pictures of different people for each channel, the number of the channel, etc.
