YEP_Job Points to Variables

[LawrenceindaSky]

So I was looking at the video by Yanfly and looking at the plugin description, there was no script calls or any examples to store it as a variable. What my goal is, is im trying to store it into a variable, and convert it to Gold. I have a number slider and stuff that works fine (Tested with variables, its a banking system), and im wondering what I can do to achieve this?
I did happen to find online this:
$gameParty.leader().jp();

$gameParty.leader().jp();

Try putting that in Control Variables > Script. I think that'll get the JP for the party leader's current class.

For a different actor you could try one of these:

$gameActors.actor(1).jp()
$gameParty.members()[0].jp()

Replace the 1 with the actor's ID, or the 0 with their position in the party (0 = leader, 1 = next member, etc).

To reference a class other than the current class, put the class ID (as defined in the database) inside the brackets, e.g. JP of class 1 for actor 3:

$gameActors.actor(3).jp(1)

$gameActors.actor(3).jp(1)

That works perfectly, I was able to display it with \v[x] and get those JP as Gold, issue is now, how do I use that same variable to subtract from JP?

EDIT: Nevermind about the variables part, I figured a work around, which is a LOT more easier than what I was gonna do, but issue is now, the setJp doesn't seem to work? It says: setJp actorId jp , so I did: setJp 1 0 but it didn't seem to work at all doing that. Maybe im doing something wrong? Maybe there is a way to script it like the $gameActors.actor(1).jp()?

EDIT2: Solved my own problem xD apparently the plugin hates the number 0, and I was looking at the js file and decided to try learning a bit of JavaScripting and well, the code of $gameActors.actor(1).setJp(0) actually works! All I really needed to do was add 'setjp' instead of 'jp'. But still thanks to your help of what to do with the code! Thank you! Mods can close this post.
