To level up or not to level up? That is (part of) my question.

A conditional based on how high the level of a character is.


For example - if you're below a certain level, you get a basic sword. if you're a high enough level, you get a sword that isn't sh- I mean, you get a good sword.


I can't find anyplace to link a conditional to a character's level, though.  I hope it's possible.

I don't have anything open, so maybe someone else can fill in specifics... I think you could save the character's level in a variable, and then compare the variable to the value you're wanting.

Control Variable select Game Data at the bottom, click on the ... and in the sub menu which comes up select Actor, choose which one you're wanting to check, and the first option on the right is 'Level'


So in your event, set that variable, then a conditional branch where the value of that variable is equal to or greater than the level you're interested in.  If it is give the decent sword, in the Else branch give the basic sword.

Yup, first you must set a variable to the player's level. You select Game Data > Actor's level to set the variable to the player's level. Once this is done, you can create a conditional branch that checks if this variable is high/low/whatever you needed for those two swords


And another tip: if you ever wanted the player to go on a quest and find a bunch of items, to be able to count the amount of a specific item the player has in their inventory, you set the variable to Game Data > Item. Tada, now you can know how many potions the player has in their inventory, for example!
