Underscore prefixes in vars

[l3m35]

This:

Both .level and ._level are accessible, and as I just read here, it's not a Javascript thing, just a convention (that I don't know why it's used in this case). My doubt is: is there any difference using one or another?

Like: $gameParty.members()[0]._level

Or it should be: $gameParty.members()[0].level

?

logicly you use _props, for direct ._props with valur reference, and .props for obj or function or getter .
each one these tastes.

Pretty sure MV uses _ for var names when they are meant to be private or internal only. Meaning avoid using them outside the class they are contained in.
It should be easily avoidable for most classes as they provide alot of functions and public variables already.

So using .level instead of ._level is advised for best practices and keeping things consistent with MV's style.
