Question: Putting XP into Variables

[MRevelle83]

Hello all! A question. It is kind of annoying me as I think it would have an easy solution, but how can you put XP needed to level up as a value in a variable?

Putting XP game data into a variable is determined by how much XP a character has, not what the character needs.

So if the character has 5 xp and needs 45 to level up, the variable would be 5 if I put in through game data. I want to know how to make the variable 45. It is for a custom level up system... that I'm sure most of you have guessed. Anyway, any help is appreciated!

(I have this funny feeling it is a simple solution that I simply overlooked. :P )

You can use the following in the script part when setting a variable:

Spoiler

$gameActors.actor($gameParty._actors[0]).nextRequiredExp()

Replace the 0 with the actor position in the party (starting with 0 being the leader).

If you wish to take it a step further you can also adjust a game variable to determine that such as this:

Spoiler

$gameActors.actor($gameParty._actors[$gameVariables.value(1)]).nextRequiredExp()

Replace 1 with the gameVariableID that would control the actor position in the party.

Alternatively you could also just use a game variable to pick a actor directly using the actorID

Spoiler

$gameActors.actor($gameVariables.value(1)).nextRequiredExp()

Replace 1 with the gameVariableID that would control the actor position in the party.

That should do the trick for ya. Let me know if this helps.
