Having some trouble with one of the Victor Engine plugins.

[GigaX]

I'm experiencing a bug with the MP Levels plugin. When I start a battle by touching a Player Touch event and using Battle Processing, my MP levels get fully refilled. I don't use regular random battles - this is the only way I start battles in my project. Is there some setting I'm missing?

Here's the event page, in case you're worried I'm putting a comment relating to MP levels in at all.

What are you expecting to happen?
How have you set the script up?
Please provide a link to the script (do not copy/paste it here)

Apologies for using the wrong subforum. I'll try to pay more attention to which subforums exist if I make another thread.

For a more detailed example, here's what's happening. My three characters have three MP levels each - level 1 is for white magic, level 2 is for black magic, and level 3 is for wizard magic. In one battle, I enter with 11/7/3 MP on my third character, the maximum she can have at her current level. I spend two black points to cast spells during the battle, leaving her with 11/5/3 MP remaining. Everything works as intended until I reach my Land Turtle to start the second battle. Immediately after the battle starts, my third character is back up to 11/7/3 MP without me having used any sort of restorative item, or activating any sort of restorative event, state or script call. What I was expecting to happen, was for my character to stay at 11/5/3 MP until I used another spell, at which point they would lose another point from one of the first two MP levels, depending on whether I used white or black magic, since at this point in the game she doesn't have Wizard magic; or to gain MP back upon using an MP healing item, not at the start of every battle. Magic is powerful enough in my game that it would become the only strategy in this case.

If it works for every other battle but this one, then there must be something about this battle, or these enemies, or the enemies' skills, that are different. You didn't put something in your troop tabs to muck around with and then forget you had it there, did you? How is this battle different from all the others you set up?

This battle isn't different at all - in fact, I haven't done anything with any troop tabs. My characters' MP levels get restored at the start of every battle, not just this one. I guess I wasn't clear about that in my example.

I figured out the issue. As it turns out, having a comment in the event page at all is what's making my MP levels restore themselves. This presents a new problem; because of the jump script I'm using, the one by Galv, I need a <block> comment in the event page so that you can't just jump over all the fights.

And I've got a fix in the script, now. Starting at line 514, here's my new code:

Spoiler

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * New method: call_recover_all_mp_level
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def call_recover_all_mp_level
regexp = /<RECOVER ALL MP LEVEL>/i
note.scan(regexp) do
$game_party.members.each {|actor| actor.setup_mp_level }
end
end
end

All I added was the note.scan(regexp) do line and a third end line, and convert the <RECOVER ALL TECH POINTS> regexp to <RECOVER ALL MP LEVEL>. Doing this makes the script actually check the contents of comment call notetags, instead of treating all notetags like <RECOVER ALL MP LEVEL>.
