GDT Elements Leveling

[Gilles]

GDT: Elements Leveling v1.5
 
Introduction
 


This plugin gives your characters the possibility to level up their elements by using skills of this element.


Leveling up elements can give you two advantages:

• Skills of this element get stronger
  
• Learn better Skills of this element (or combined elements)
  

Notetags


Skill:


<elementxp:xp>  You can choose how much xp an element should gain after using this spell (you gain xp for every enemy you hit)


Classes;


<elementSkill: elementId, levelOfElement, SkillTolearnId> Which skill should be learned after an element reached a specific level


<elementSkill: elementId1;elementId2, levelOfElement1;levelOfElement2, SkillTolearnId> You can use 2 or more element level requirements if you want to


A bit more help is inside the Plugin Help after installing the plugin


Lunatic Tag


Classes & Actors: <elementCurve> Script </elementCurve>


This can change the elementCurve for specifig Actors, Classes and even different Elements


For detailed Information look into the Plugin Help (Example in Screenshot below)


Installation-Guide
Just copy the plugin into your plugin folder and add it to your plugin list


If you want to you can configure the plugin parameters, level the level curve


If you want to use the Menu for Yanflys StatusMenuCore just add ElementsLevel to Command Order Parameter(Screenshot)


And be sure to have the StatusMenuCore to load before GDT Elements Level


The parameters for the status work the same as for the Element Status Menu in Yanflys StatusMenuCore

thanks this is what ive been looking for and was about to brush up on my js and try and throw together myself!


it seems though, when i level up a skill. does it have to be in the skills to learn tree for the class to learn it? im getting an error when it tries to learn a skill. Any ideas? its giving me a null value trying to be passed for the skill name. Do i have to the full xxxx number convention or can i just use single digits?


 got the actual error this time.

Very cool concept, I can't wait to try this out!

 

[kl4ss1c]

i fixed it. you cant have a space in the command between the numbers. 

 

[gRaViJa]

This looks very cool, question: Is there a way to show a character's current element levels in the status screen or separate menu? Maybe an idea for an update?

I will try to add the elements to the status menu (on weekend). Thanks for the hint

Never tried it with spaces. But i will try to make it possible. Thank you =)

 

[gRaViJa]

Cool, maybe you can make it compatible with Yanflys status menu plugin too?

 

[Gilles]

I just added a new version of Elements Level Plugin.


I changed the following stuff:


Elements Level Status Window added for Yanflys StatusMenuCore. Just Add ElementsLevel to the Menus. Spaces are now allowed in Notetags

 

[kl4ss1c]

ok nm i figured it out. 


  Game_Actor.prototype.getSkillsToLearn = function(elementId) {
    var skills = [];
    var skillIds = this.currentClass().meta.elementSkill;
    skillIds = (skillIds instanceof Array) ? skillIds : [skillIds];
    for(var i=0; i < skillIds.length; i++) {
      var skill = skillIds.split(",");

      if(skill.length < 3) {

        continue;





 





if i didnt have a skill set up to learn in the class, and was using it only for boost in dmg for the element i would get an error on level up b/c of those lines of code.





if i added a bogus line like <elementSkill:3,99,63> in my class, it worked fine, is there a way to write an if then conditional on this whole block so it dosent error out? 





im not new to programming just dont know js hehe...

This plugin is brilliant! Too brilliant for me to use for now though.

If it's related to the plugin just write it here  Else write me a pm

 

[Gilles]

I made a Bugfix. Version 1.31


When a class didn't had a Skill to learn, the plugin crashed when you gained xp. This is now fixed

Can show Icon next to the word ICe? Or Fire? Depending on the element?

Can show Icon next to the word ICe? Or Fire? Depending on the element? 

I can implement this. but currently there exists no icons for elements. But i'll make it possible to use icons for elements.

 

[Gilles]

With v1.4 the Element Status window gets some icons for the elements. Have fun with it

 

[Gilles]

With v1.5 you can change the Element Level Curve via Lunatic Tag

Hello @Gilles !

I have been messing around with this for a bit and was wondering, how did you create the events with the crystals in your tutorial video, where activating the crystal increases the level in a particular element by one?

I have been trying to re-create something similar, but where the player can select which element they wish to raise.

Example:

Character activates crystal, and a dialogue box opens with 4 choices

Fire
Water
Wind
Earth

Whichever the player selects increases its level by one

Any help you could give me would be great!
