[RESOLVED]Gaining xp from items

Yes i was wondering if it is possible to give an actor exp from using an item. What i did was made an item called EXP orb and made it a common event and in the event it adds 30 exp points. now when i start the game and go into the item menu and use the item it wont let me it just plays the invalid sound. i have the item to add EXP to all party members and i found out it will work in battle but not out. any ideas

Post up screenshots of the item and common event. Then, it'll be easier for us to figure out your problem.

Do you have the occasion set to 'Always' and not, 'Only in Battle'?

could set it as Always or only from Menu. I'd set it to a single character target, unless you want the whole party.

Most likely, that is because the item does not modify anything and so the script that tests the item returns false for effectiveness.

An easy way to bypass that is to just set the parameter growth effect to something, like MaxHP, but then have its value be 0. That way, it should pass effectiveness test without actually doing anything but running the common event.

Yes! what modern algebra said worked thanks guys. oh and i hope i was suppose to put resolved in the title post if not sorry.
