Level ups

[JamesdomusGames]

Hey, another question here.

Is there a way for all the Actors in the Actors tab to get EXP? Even when they're not in the party? I don't think there is, but I thought I would ask.

Also, if not, are there any good scripts that allow for this?

Thanks,
James

There aren't, that I'm aware of. If you find a way to do it with or without scripts, you'll need to be careful that the level is not reset to 0 when you do add them to the party, if you check the Initialize box.

Actually, one way you could do it is to add them to the party, get the total EXP of the "leader", then change the new actor's EXP by that amount.

Hey, sorry, I lost track of this thread. Thanks for the reply. How would I go about doing what you suggest?

You should maybe think about looking at some tutorials and demos.

I've tried tutorials and I don't learn well that way.

Thanks for the info, though.

Most people learn by doing it themselves. That's what the tutorials will help you do. Others learn by reading. So, how do you learn?

It is an interactive (playable) tutorial on Event Commands. Being interactive, most people find it quick and easy to learn from. You can also open it up in the editor to see how things are done.

You might also want to give this playable tutorial a go.

It is a playable tutorial for variables.

Going through these two will give you a firm grasp of 2 essential elements for creating a game.

I learn by reading and applying. I watched dozens of videos by Venthros on Youtube and was more confused than before when I tried to convert what he was saying into a practical application, so I didn't buy RPGMVXA until I found the book Make a 2D RPG in a weekend. Reading that several times and then having it around to reference helped immeasurably.

Thanks, Kes, for the help.
