EXP Item

[Jocho]

Hello,


I'm trying to make an item that gives EXP to a party member of your choice. Unfortunately, I've run into a bit of a dead end. 


The closest I've gotten is making the item deal / recover HP / MP and in the damage formula, having the actor gain EXP. But, I've only managed to find formulas for VX Ace and not MV. Specifically, b.gainExp(5000). But that gives me errors. 


Any ideas on how to make an item give the recipient a set amount of EXP?

The formula must return a numeric value, so instead use b.gainExp(5000); 0


Also, the item must be usable (for example, an item that recovers HP is not usable if the target have full HP)


A good work around this is making the item add a dummy state and remove the same state. This way the item will be always usable, even if the actor HP is full.

That's perfect! You're a lifesaver! Thank you! It's working as intended now.

Actually, update. Not working quite as intended.  If I use an item on anyone in my main party, it's fine. If I use it on someone who's there but not in the active party, it has no effect.
