Known Compatibility Issues

None known of.

Demo

I don't think it's really necessary but let me know if you want one.

Author's Notes

I realized that I was still yet to alias or write a script that didn't involve windows or scenes.

Restrictions

Check header of script.

This seems like something some people will find useful.

# NOTES: 1)This script will only work with ace.

You sure about that? I don't see anything in the code that would prevent it from working in VX.

However, why didn't you actually use the alias? Aliasing isn't typically useful for compatibility if you don't actually call the aliased method within the overwritten method. Also, you shouldn't use capital letters in method names - those typically signify constants.

It should have been:

Code: [Select]

  alias dt_vxa_level_up level_up
  def level_up
    $game_player.animation_id = DTLUP::ANIMATION
    Audio.se_play("Audio/SE/" + DTLUP::SE, 100, 100)
    Audio.me_play("Audio/ME/" + DTLUP::ME, 100, 100)
    dt_vxa_level_up
  end


But anyway, good job!

Thanks 
I originally tried to call the aliased method but it gave me an error, it might have been because I used caps. I'll update the script.

EDIT: I just copied my template, so I guess I should put this in the VX section to.

Great script. Any chance next version will be able to show the animation on the actor/follower that levels up instead of the player as default?

May be, not sure if it's really possible. I'll have to check later. I'm leaving RPG Maker soon so I won't really be focusing on upgrading or creating new scripts.

Can I make it call a common event as well? For instance, to let the player pick which power to pick. 

I'll do it when I get home.
