Bonus Percent EXP

[JellyJelly]

Bonus Percent EXP v1.0

By Jelly​

 

Introduction

I've been playing a lot of FF14, in it for various reasons you gain EXP that is scaled based on a percent.  I decided to make a simple script that allows you a similar effect.

 

Features

- Scales EXP gained via a settable percent (value stored in a variable that you can set).

- Effect is tied to a switch for convenience.

- Allows for a reduction in EXP.

 

Screenshots

None needed

 

How to Use

The usual paste below Materials and above Main.  Make sure to set proper variables and switches in the configuration module.

 

Demo

None needed.

I haven't written a ton in RGSS3, if I'm doing something stupid please, please let me know

I am not sure if your actual portion of the script actually works, as I was so thrown off by the programming errors. This script is all types of wrong. Your aliasing method is inside the method and is not even called during the method. I think you might be new to ruby as well as rgss3. With that said it was a good attempt and far more useful the my first scripts. However there is already a exp % bonus available to the developer via rpgm as far as I know. You can assign it to almost anything I believe. The only difference i could see would be the switch and the variable.

To correct the script however, you should place this line

alias jelly_change_exp change_exp

Above this line

def change_exp(exp, show)

You would the call it with this

jelly_change_exp(bonus, show)

I don't really see a point though as you are altering it not aliasing it.

This should be your method

def change_exp(exp, show)

if $game_switches[JELLY::BONUS_SWITCH] == true

percent = $game_variables[JELLY:ERCENT_VARIABLE].to_f/100

bonus = exp * percent

end

bonus = 0 unless bonus

jelly_change_exp(bonus + exp, show)

end

As far as the battle message not being correct. That is because you are adding the bonus directly to the exp upon changing it. To fix that you could scrap this and alter the enemies exp directly to include the bonus. Alternatively, you could also find the victory sequence portion of the battle system and correct it there as well. I would then suggest to keep your method you have with the corrections above.

Sorry for the formatting as I am writing this from my phone.

Thanks for the info.  As noted above I am quite new with RGSS3 so any tips/redirection are most appreciated.  I seem to have misunderstood the explanation of aliasing in the video I watched.  I have removed that aspect for now.

However, I am unable to get your code to work when I go about implementing it.  Mainly when I put the alias you have provided where you have said it throws a undefined method for change_exp.  Putting it under as I have had before allows things to run fine but as you said that is incorrect so I am unsure of how to further that.

As to the battle message issue, I selected change_exp because I wanted this effect to apply to gaining exp via events as well.  Perhaps what you were getting at is adding a bit to handle the post battle stuff which is certainly a possibility.

In FF14, the bonus applies parallel to any other equipment exp bonuses which serves my purpose quite well, with the added nicety of being able to toggle it, as you have noted.

Either way, ty for your info and help, it is much appreciated 

Formatting is fine btw
