Need help with combat events

[ravenfire]

So, I'm making a custom job system in RMXP similar to that which is in Final Fantasy Tactics. The issue I'm having is the JP increase when an enemy dies. I've tried setting up a combat event so that when an enemy dies, it adds JP, but can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you send me a copy of your project? I might need to have a direct look on it.

The version of the game I sent you isn't demo-ready yet. there are 2 characters right at the beginning that I use for debugging the JP system, including an option to state the values in each variable I'm using. Let me know if you can think of anything.

use a variable. When enemy dies, then variable _____ increases by one.

here's how I have it set up now;

- when enemy "X" dies, add 5 points to "JP"
- outside of combat a parallel that checks if "JP" > 1
- if it is, add "JP" to "current class", set "JP" to 0
- there is another variable which controls which the "current class" is.

I haven't worked out how I'm going to have the player spend the "JP" yet, I'm thinking I'm going to have to set up a custom menu system. If someone could send me a link to a thread that covers one, that'd be great. :biggrin:

May I also suggest some gameplay advice?

 

[ravenfire]

Yea, sure. Like I said, this isn't demo quality yet, but I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it.

Basically, all I need to find out is how to have a variable increase when an enemy dies in the standard combat system. It seems like something that would be quite common, so surely someone has had to have done it before.
