Show exp on screen

[Kristina]

Hello,

I'm using SRD HUD plugin and I got it to show HP and MP on the screen, but I really want to show exp. I want it to count up and turn back to zero whenever the player level up.

I have struggled with making it work. Not sure what to put in current and max value, does someone know?

If you're comfortable doing a little scripting, or at least script calls, the following would get you the current level and next level exp values
$gameActors.actor(id).currentExp()
$gameActors.actor(id).nextLevelExp()

Replace id with the id of the actor, and it will give you the same values you'd get for current exp and To Next Level in the Status menu.

FYI,
$gameParty._actors
will return an array, with the Actor id's in order of the current party members.

I can give you "My solution" but it is "complicated, but anyway, let's do it!

#1 create 3 variables in your common event tab and set them to:

#variable 1 = Math.abs($gameParty.members()[0].expForLevel($gameParty.members()[0].level) - $gameParty.members()[0].currentExp())
#variable 2 = Math.abs($gameParty.members()[0].nextRequiredExp()) + Math.abs($gameParty.members()[0].expForLevel($gameParty.members()[0].level) - $gameParty.members()[0].currentExp())
#variable 3 = Math.ceil($gameVariables.value(variable 1) / $gameVariables.value(variable 2)*100)

//variable 3 displays exp percentage and it is optional

and In SRD HUD maker type in
Cur. Value: ${$gameVariables.value(variable #1)}
Max value: ${$gameVariables.value(variable #2)}

Dont forget to set common event to parallel in order to keep updated variables.
This calculations will keep in each actor's level current exp and required exp per level.

@standardplayer - EDIT: It seems to be working, thanks!!

@Soulrender - I have tried it for some time now and I can't seem to get it to work. All I do it getting an error. I'm sure that I'm doing it wrong, I just can't see where I'm doing it wrong. I will keep trying to see if I can make it work.

My mistake, in HUD maker with gauge type like this:
https://prnt.sc/pjiu5w

just replace number of variables with your own, my gauge shows now 0/0 because I didn't set variables.

This is just short video how to:

@Soulrender - it works perfectly now, thanks!!

If you wish to do it for other party members then you will need to make more variables and replace
$gameParty.members()[0] with
$gameParty.members()[1]

and so on for other party members.
$gameParty.members()[0] - first party member (leader)
$gameParty.members()[1] - 2nd member
$gameParty.members()[2] - 3rd member

etc etc

Thank you, I might need that!

Or you could use this and this plugin wich will save you lot of time with making hud.

@Soulrender - I know those plugins. I decided to use SRD's plugins, because I thought that fit more to my game. I am done making the hud and it works just fine. Thanks though

Interesting enough but Hud maker is not updating the EXP when I have an event that increases the experience.

Tried a lot of combinations, still the gauge does nothing
Change EXP：Entire Party, + 15 (Show Level Up)

$gameParty.members()[0].currentLevelExp()

$gameParty.members()[0].nextLevelExp()

....

Show how you set your Hud Maker config for the current value of the gauge.

It has t something like that:

$gameParty.leader().currentExp() - (($gameParty.leader().level - 1) * 100)

Replace "100" with the max value you are setting.
In your case, I think that has to be:

$gameParty.members()[0].currentLevelExp() - (($gameParty.members()[0].level - 1) * $gameParty.members()[0].nextLevelExp())
