I get an error. :/ It says:

Script "Victor Engine - Tech Points" line 295: ArgumentError occured.

comparison of String with 1 failed

 

[Victor Sant]

Did you make any setting or just copied it? What was the exact thing that triggered the error? Are you using another scripts?

I need more info so i can map this error.

I only copied your Basic Module and this script into my "Project1" test project which I haven't changed anything in. I didn't adjust anything in your scripts either. Should I have? :/

Edit: I redownloaded the scripts a second time, and now I don't get that error anymore. However, I can't seem to set a tech limit. I wrote "<tech limit: 15>" into the notebox of the skill "Heal". Shouldn't it say "Heal 15/15" in the menu then? Or am I doing anything wrong?

The limit is the value that the tech is caped.the actual value will depend on the growth.

Let's say you setup

<tech growth: 5 + level / 5>

<tech limit: 15>

the max value will be 5 + level / 5, so at level 10 it will be 7 (5 + 10 / 5), at level 80 it would be 21 (5 + 80 / 10), but since the limit is 15, it will be caped at 15.

 

[Liak]

So if I want to have 15/15, I set VE_DEFAULT_TECH_GROWTH = "15" (or anything higher than that) and put <tech limit: 15> into the skill's notebox? All right, that's quite easy. The only problem is that it still won't show any numbers next to the skill. It only says "Heal", nothing else (since I set MP costs to 0).

Edit: Okay, nevermind, I figured it out.

Actors and Enemies note tags:

# Tags to be used on the Actors and Enemies note box in the database

#

# <tech skill>

# Setup the skill to use tech point system

That was the problem. I only checked the skill note tags, because I thought "No, don't wanna do anything with the actors". I shall remember to read everything next time. Sorry for keeping you busy here! (But, well, maybe you should put that tag into the skill sections rather than the actors and enemies section for people like me. )

And then just one more question which is probably stupid as well: How do I restore the Tech Points?

@Liak

You should REALLY read all the instructions instead of only what you think you might use...

[dangaioh]

sorry if this is considered necroposting, but can not find sufficient support for this issue

hello, victor, I am Dangaioh, sorry if my English is very bad, I'm Spanish and I do not speak English very well.

I have 2 problems.

I have the basic module and the tech point, but I can not see the numbers of skills ....

not because it passes

Can you help?

sight

the script is supposed to do this



but ... I get this



I tried it on a new project if there was incompatibility with others, but no, I do not see the numbers

The other error is when I use an item to retrieve the points.

Linera error 332 can´t convert symbol into integer

Please can you help? or give me a demo to see what happens?

thanks and congratulations for all your work

@dangaioh

Since i'm not a seer, i can't help if you don't post YOUR settings, because probably the problem is with wrong setup for the actions.

 

[dangaioh]

this makes the skill shoot 20 times, but I can not see the numbers of tech points.

the item to recharge pints

put

<change tech 131: point 10>

and woe is when I get the other errorthanks for replying, it must be something that I am wrong, I tried a new project and is giving me this error.

I copied the basic script and module tech point

and skill to put in notes

growth: <tech 20>

limit: <tech 20>

I have done nothing more

serious kind enough to put it on a demo please? to see that I am wrong.

I need this script for a remake of the sd sntacher

 

[Victor Sant]

growth: <tech 20>limit: <tech 20>

This is totally wrongit is

<tech limit: 20>

<tech growth: 20>

 

[dangaioh]

This is totally wrong

it is

yes, I know, but when writing my previous message, do not know what happened that I wrote it backwards XD

I put in a skill that

<tech skill>

<tech growth: 80>

<tech limit: 80>

and it works well

I see the numbers on the name of the skill

well that the moment but I do not care



the main problem is to recover

if I put this in a skill

<change tech point131: 10>

131 the skill id and 10 recovered,

works

but if I put this on an item

<change tech point 131: 10>

to use it gives me error on line 332

can not convert Symbol Into integer

you can help me with that please?
