Hi All,


I'm just trying to set up a variable that reads the current actors JP's (Yanfly's - Job Points Script v1.06) So that I can display it in a chat window.


Reason being I've been trying to use JP's as a form of currency for increasing actor parameters (stats) instead of the standard "Stats gain with level up", at first I wanted to add a notetag to an item <Target Lose JP: 1> or <Target Gain JP: -1> but that doesn't work because it's not scripted that way. I've tried to contact Yanfly to see if he will add this into his script but have no had any sort of response, so one can only assume he is rather busy, which is fair enough!


In an ideal scenario I would find a script that is essentially an attributes/stats/parameters (whatever you want to call them) Shop system that allowed the use of JP's as currency. Pretty much identical to the Skill Shop Yanfly made, but instead of learning skills it would increase stat points. But I figure this isn't going to happen any time soon, so I'm using a work around. Which is basically the same as FFX's Sphere Grid system, that's where I've hit yet another wall. In order to control the JP's the player has I need to let them know how many JP's they currently have in some form of floating window (like the Gab Window, but a permanent fixture). I figured using the Gold window would work ok, but it doesn't change the fact I have no idea how to tell the variable to read JP data for "actor x". I'm pretty sure it's just a simple script. But I've quickly come to realise that I will never really get my head around JavaScript.


Any assistance on this would be hugely appreciated.
