[VX] Experience gain modifier

[zerothedarklord]

Would very much like to get a script that allows the modification of experience gained through note tags useable on States, Skills, Weapons and Armor. I'm interested in having it able to modify exp gain by a specific amount (like on Diablo 3) as well as a percentage. EXAMPLES:

/modexp [10]       <- this would increase experience gained per enemy killed (which is the preferred method, rather than on a per-battle basis, but per-battle is acceptable if it's significantly easier to do)

/modexp[10%]      <- this would increase experience gained by 10%. IF easier, or for further modification purposes, it could also be written as /modexp[110%] to reflect that you're gaining 10% above normal experience, which would also allow reduced experience gain as well.

I'll just get my old scripting box out...

Note that I didn't really test it, and I'm a little rusty with scripting. Also I didn't make it work with skills because I'm not sure what you wanted with that.

[zerothedarklord]

that should be fine, worst-case scenario I can just make a skill apply a state for it anyway. Thanks man. Also, while I'm thinking about it, is there a way that you're aware of (without having to build trillions of conditional branches with parallel common events) to make weapons or equipment automatically apply a state to a character for the time that it's equipped? Or a way to hide states? my game includes some passive skills/states so it's a bit cramped having 5 - 10 states active at all times.



Also, it error'd, pointing to the line:
n = pac_expmod(*args)

Error message: line 20: NoMethodError occured. undefined method n = pac_expmod

[pacdiggity]

Change that line to

n = pac_expmod_exp(*args)
That was a silly mistake.

I'm also really confident those scripts already exist.

[zerothedarklord]

that fixed that, now it says equip isn't defined or something.

Any idea what those scripts might be called? Those along with that variable state damage script I requested are about all I need to finish my game.

[pacdiggity]

Change line 21 to

    $game_party.equips.compact.each {|equip|That should fix the nil error you're getting.

As for your other thing, IUNNO.

[zerothedarklord]

unfortunately it didn't man, still says undefined.

    $game_party.equips.each {|equip| next if equip.nil?

[zerothedarklord]

you guessed it! still saying it's undefined.

"NoMethodError occured"
"undefined method 'equips' for # <Game_Party:0x2ac1ed0>"

Change that to state.expp_mod

[zerothedarklord]

Alright, it isn't crashing anymore, but the experience gain is unchanged. (Testing it using equipment to modify it)

[zerothedarklord]

Any ideas Pac?

[pacdiggity]

You should probably learn how to bugfix. It's not very difficult, and it's an incredibly useful skill, especially for someone who requests as much as you.

Maybe I'll make a tutorial

[zerothedarklord]

lol, yeah, true that man. but I'm not the kind of person to half-ass something. If I was going to learn to bugfix, I'd just take it all the way and learn to make my own scripts, lol.

[D&P3]

Feel free to do that.

It saves a lot of hassle if you can do things yourself.
