Fomar0153 Evolution script issue

[Dragonslinger]

I'm having a problem evolving my actors with the script. I believe I have the proper notetags, but they won't change.
Script here:
=begin
Evolution Script
by Fomar0153
Version 1.0
----------------------
Notes
----------------------
Implements two types of evolution:
levelling
item use
----------------------
Instructions
----------------------
First copy the script into your game then set the variables in the Fomar module
to your liking.

Evolve_Class = true
means that when evolving the class will change.

Evolve_Class = false
means that when evolving the actor it uses as a base will change.

Evolve_Keep_Exp = true
means you keep your level when you change class if Evolve_Class is set to true.

I'll cover Evolution after the notetags. But for now it's the effect played
when an evolution takes place.

Ok notetags there are 3 and they can be placed on actors or classes (actors
will always take priority over class):

<battler_name str>
where str is the name of the battler. This will be used as the graphic in
the evolution scene.
examples:
<battler_name bat>
<battler_name imp>
<evolution_item if item.id == 17;@evolution = 4;end;>

<evolution_level_up str>
where str is code to be run when that actor or class levels up.
To trigger an evolution set @Evolution to the id of the new actor or class.
examples:
<evolution_level_up if @level >= 2; @Evolution = 2; end;>

<evolution_item str>
where str is code to be run when an item is used on that actor or class.
To trigger an evolution set @Evolution to the id of the new actor or class.
examples:
<evolution_item if item.id == 17;@evolution = 4;end;>

Ok the last thing I need to go through is Evolution from the Fomar module.
It's an array of effects to be used.
The two images are @sprite1 (the old battler) and @sprite2 (the new battler).
Both start off centered and invisible.

To make a sprite visible use:
@sprite1.visible = true

To make the scene wait use:
wait(n)

To change a sprites tone use:
@sprite1.tone = Tone.new(red,green,blue)

To make a sprite shrink use:
while @sprite1.zoom_x > a; @sprite1.zoom_x -= b; @sprite1.zoom_y -= b; update_basic; end;
where a is the percentage you want to shrink to e.g. 0.5 (half size), 0.25 (quarter size)
where b is the speed it shrinks by, I reccomend 0.01 or 0.02 otherwise it will shrink very quickly

To enlarge a sprite use:
while @sprite1.zoom_x < a; @sprite1.zoom_x += b; @sprite1.zoom_y += b; update_basic; end;
where a is the percentage you want to enlarge to e.g. 1 (normal size), 1.5 (one and a half size)
where b is the speed it enlarges by, I reccomend 0.01 or 0.02 otherwise it will shrink very quickly

To play an animation use:
@sprite1.start_animation($data_animations[x], false)
where x is the id of the animation

To add a message use:
$game_message.add(\"message here\")
I suggest looking at my example and if you get stuck asking for help.
@old_name will be the old name and @new_name will be the new name of the actor/class

To make it pause for the user to close the mesage use:
wait_for_message

When you have finished call:
SceneManager.return

My Actor's notetag:
<battler_name 0Aisudora>
<evolution_level_up if @level>=15;@evolution = 4; end;>

I've moved this thread to RGSSx Script Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

 

[Roninator2]

Where did you get the script? Can you put a link to it instead of the script? If not then put all of that into a spoiler with a code tag.
Otherwise all I can see that may be wrong is spacing.
<evolution_level_up if @level >=15; @Evolution = 4; end;>

There is a big error, I'm just not sure which should I point out...

The instance variable in the script is actually named @Evolution with a capital "E" at the start.
It is bad practice to start variable names with capital letters. This is the error in the script itself, although it will only cause errors in very specific cases.

In your note-tag, you use @Evolution, with small "e", which is NOT the same as @Evolution with a capital "E".
This would be the issue in the note-tag you use. It should work with a capital "E" letter.

I got the script form the 2012 Restaff https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/restaff-december-2012-release.7744/
