Clark Exp Limit 1.1

clark submitted a new resource:

Clark Exp Limit - Make a limit for actor's total exp

Just plug any number in the plugin settings and it will then become the maximum amount of Exp any character can have... simple enough. I made a game without levels and wanted my EXP pool to be limited and couldn't find any plugins to do this... so here it is. Clark's fancy-pants EXP limit.

If the limit is just below a level up range for a class then every time experience is gained the level up message will appear.

Also the changeLevel command will bypass this, only to be reset when the next gainExp is called, and the initialisation stage will ignore the limit as well.

It would probably be better to implement this at the changeExp function instead;

var expLimit = $.Parameters["ExpLimit"]; // Store to prevent constant access of $ (wtf?) and Parameters

var _Game_Actor_changeExp = Game_Actor.prototype.changeExp;
Game_Actor.prototype.changeExp = function( exp,  show ) {
    if ( this.atLimit ) {
       return; // Cancel if actor is already at the limit
    }
    exp = ( exp > expLimit ? expLimit : exp ); // Clamp exp setting to the limit
    this.atLimit = ( exp == expLimit ); // If we've hit the expLimit, set atLimit to true
    _Game_Actor_changeExp.call( this, exp, show ); // Change actor experience
};

The following would fix the initialisation problem;

var _Game_Actor_initExp = Game_Actor.prototype.initExp;
Game_Actor.prototype.initExp = function() {
    _Game_Actor_initExp.call( this ); // Initialise exp
    if ( this._exp[this._classId] >= expLimit ) {
        this._exp[this._classId] = expLimit; // Clamp exp to limit
        this.atLimit = true; // Set that we're at the limit
    }
};

I guess I never noticed this because I've removed levels from my own game.
