[RESOLVED] Level-up variable

[Marpy]

Is there anyway to make a system where each time an actor levels up, a special variable goes up as well? Like every time actor #1 reaches a new level, variable #1 goes up a point, and every time actor #2 levels up, variable #2 goes up, etc.

It would work with an event. common event, to be precise.
Just set it on parallel process and start it in the beginnig of your game.
Then let it set varable one to actor one's level and so on.

Hope this helps

Hrm.. no, not really. Perhaps I should be more precise. The variable is to be used similar to AP, used to train. Using a common event will set it to be the character's level, and therefore... infinite AP.

 

[Dalton]

you could also set it to be v#1=Heroe's level. If v#1=x add set v#2=y Would work as well. Or you could check at the end of every battle if the level was higher than at the start and if it is so change the variable for your points...  Try around a bit ^^

but this is in the scripts requests area for a reason. Anyway I tried to figure it out for you but I can't find the part where the scripts handle the lvl up part. I found it a few days ago but can't seem to find it again. If anyone does find it, I think (note: think, my scripting skills are way below average) you could handle something like; save the current lvl of the actor in a local variable and after the battle check if the lvl is still the same. If it's not the same add 1 point to *insert variable number of choice here*.

I'll try to search again tomorrow, sleeping time now

Alright, I'm pulling a 'Seph', and posting this without testing it. (You get to test it!) :scruff:

[ EDIT ] My brain fart!  This is for XP, look below for the VX version.

class Game_Actor

  def exp=(exp)
    @exp = [[exp, 9999999].min, 0].max
    # Level up
    while @exp >= @exp_list[@level+1] and @exp_list[@level+1] > 0
      @level += 1
      # increment the corresponding game variable
      $game_variables[@actor_id] += 1
      # Learn skill
      for j in $data_classes[@class_id].learnings
        if j.level == @level
          learn_skill(j.skill_id)
        end
      end
    end
    # Level down
    while @exp < @exp_list[@level]
      @level -= 1
    end
    # Correction if exceeding current max HP and max SP
    @hp = [@hp, self.maxhp].min
    @sp = [@sp, self.maxsp].min
  end
end

The variable will correspond to the actor ID in the database, not necessarily the party.

Be Well

A: Not sure what to do with this, so I assume put it in a new script.
B: Stuck it in a new script, and got an error: 'undefined method 'exp=' for class game_actor'

 

[Brewmeister]

Crap! now I gotta test it.  :scruff:

 

[Marpy]

I appreciate the help. Take your time; there's no rush.

 

[Brewmeister]

No worries. It works great in XP. (I didn't see the VX up there)

 

[Marpy]

Ah. Stupid little VX. Well, any ideas how to port it from XP to VX?

 

[Brewmeister]

Yep, use this instead. And yes, insert it in a new script in the Materials / (Insert Here) section.

class Game_Actor
  def level_up
    @level += 1
    # increment the corresponding game variable
    $game_variables[@actor_id] += 1
    for learning in self.class.learnings
      learn_skill(learning.skill_id) if learning.level == @level
    end
  end
end

"We apologize for the inconvenience."

BTW, you totally lucked out. I'm on day 30 of my VX trial!  :scruff:

Be Well

 

[Marpy]

It works. You are my hero. I just credit it you for this then, eh?

 

[Brewmeister]

I only require credit on scripts OVER 10 lines....  :wink:

Just kidding!  "One is glad to be of service."

Happy Gamemaking

Thank you, Brewmeister, for making these scripts.  I can use them in my ability grid system, which is almost complete.  If you wish to check it out, there's a link in my signature.
