Need help with a simple problem.

[Queed]

Hi, I just need a simple few lines but I really can't script lol.
I just need the code for:

If an actor is dead, that actor doesnt receive experience. Ty if you help.

Just make sure that the Can't Get EXP checkbox is checked for the dead status. No scripting required.

 

[Queed]

Well then it's another problem I have... In my battle script when a battle ends with at least one party member dead, I get this error.
Undefined method '[]' nil for:NilClass...i use the BOF battle system and the lufia style battle result.

I'll need more than that. :-/

What's on the line it's saying is the problem? If you could post that line, plus the whole script(s), that would help a lot. Or post a link to the project file. Either way.

Here's the error line:

   if @level_flags[i][0] == false

And here's the full script that the error message is in:

Sorry, that's still not enough to track down the problem. I really need either all the scripts (so I can install it myself), your scripts.rxdata file, or a project file.

Right now, all I can tell you is either @level_flags is nil, or @level_flags is nil for some value of i.

 

[Trickster]

In addition to what ccoa said in her post add this line before the line with the error

p @level_flags, i

and test run your game and tell me what pops up in the Windows Dialog Box

also the formatting appears a bit off (something I rarely do...) did you edit the script, if so what did you edit?

 

[eharper256]

I also had the same problem as Queed, that the battle result hung and died when a character was dead at the end of a battle; so I went looking at the script...
Though the script hangs on the Window_Battleresult script; it seems to do so because it cannot find a value for @level_flags
So I went and found where this is defined... Its in the Scene_Battle under the comment #Obtaining EXP

# Obtaining EXP
    level_flags = []
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      if actor.cant_get_exp? == false
        last_level = actor.level
        actor.exp += exp
        #EDITS
        if last_level != actor.level
          level_flags[i] = [true, last_level] 
        else
          level_flags[i] = [false]
        end
      end
    end

Yup, this is the criminal. Its all well and good when the actor.cant_get_exp? == false, like it would be under most circumstances. But theres no contingency. What if its true? Then it can't return a value for level_flags, right?

I fixed it with this

    # Obtaining EXP
    level_flags = []
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      if actor.cant_get_exp? == false
        last_level = actor.level
        actor.exp += exp
        #EDITS
        if last_level != actor.level
          level_flags[i] = [true, last_level] 
        else
          level_flags[i] = [false]
        end
        #EDITS
        [B]elsif actor.cant_get_exp? == true
        last_level = actor.level
        level_flags[i] = [false][/B]
      end
    end

Now, I'm no coder, so that is probably crap coding; but it works now. I tested it with an item that KO's a character, then finished a battle against a wussy monster, and it now seems OK.

Hope that helps you too. (Yes, I already posted this in Lufia Style Report topic as well, since FreakishFae had the same problem, but since my search of the forum turned this up too, I figured I should post again here to help.)

EDIT: Fyad Oh Noes, I hope this isn't Necroposting. Big Apologies if it is...
