[Resolved] Help to create a fake level

[kiku]

A Character is named "Tester". Whenever this character is in party, his level will be shown as 40 although he is not really that level. Even if his real level changes, his level will still be shown as 40. How would I modify my code to do this? Thanks.

Easy

Add in a new script above main

class Game_Actor
  def level
    return 40 if @actor_id == ACTOR_ID
    return @level
  end
end

replace ACTOR_ID with the actor id from the database

That should do it, let me know if it gives you any trouble

Alright, haven't tested it, but this should work.

First go to the Character Tab in the Database and double click one of Tester's stat boxes. Mess around with the numbers in there so that rather than going up or down with level/experience, they always stay the same. Adjust the stats to whatever you like.

Second make a Common Event. With a conditional branch, do something like, "If party member "tester" is level 41, change level to 40".

I probably could've explained it in more detailed, but Im tired as hell right now, so I hope that helps.

Edit: Damn my slow typing. I suppose Trickster's method would work too. ^^

Thanks both. I just added in Trickster's few lines of codes and it's working with no problems.

I have a new question, what if I want to display the level with a string?

 

[Trickster]

what do you mean by level with a string

if you mean the level as a string then just do

<Game_Actor>.level.to_s

where <Game_Actor> is a instance of Game_Actor ($game_actor[2], $game_party.actors[0])

I got it now, thanks again. No more questions on this matter, this topic may be closed now.
