Hello, and thank you for this great script that will eventually save me alot of time with events. Though I'm having a slight problem, When I use your call script change_prof_exp(1,5) I get an error

 

 

 

 I have also tried just the Core, professions  organized menus, and toasts scripts in another project and I got the same error. I do have the Core above all the scripts. Any suggestions or has any one else had this problem? 

[casper667 130]

Instead of using the array number, use whatever you set :symbol to for the profession.

for example:

change_prof_exp(:cooking, 5)

[Hororo 3]

this is neat! i will definitely use it

 

does each characters have diff/individual professions or its party-based professions?

[casper667 130]

It's party based.

Awesome like runescape this could be perfect for my survival game should it be compatible with falcao crafting/gathering?

[casper667 130]

You could always try it and see

[Markchapman 0]

Wow, thanks I'll try that. =]

[Markchapman 0]

I got it, One, I had the scripts in the wrong place, they should have been core, then toasts. I also wasn't reading the script comments close enough the symbol is how the profession is displayed... 

 

 

edit: is there a way of using the levels? Is there a script call? So that i can use the level in a conditional branch?

[casper667 130]

You could try this, it should work but I didn't test:

 

$csca.get_profession(symbol).level

 

where symbol would be the profession's symbol.

Got it thanks again. I linked it to A variable. =]

Just wondering, is there a way to make this work with battles? I had some ideas and I'm not sure how to make them happen:
Profession gains EXP whenever you use a certain skill in battle.

Profession gains EXP whenever you win a battle with a certain character in the party. (Was gonna use this for a beastmaster character that gives you Demonology points by observing monsters.)

Profession gains EXP whenever you defeat a certain monster. (Something like you train Exorcism by killing zombies, etc)

Nice script! I think I found a glitch, though: when I opened the professions menu, the icons were right on top of each other: 

 

 

I'd fix it myself, but my scripting ability is embarrassingly bad:)

Well for the skills, you could add the change_exp script call into a common event associated with the skill. For the other 2 though I can't think of any easy way to do it. This script wasn't really made with combat "professions" in mind. Perhaps later on I'll make an add on with these features, but likely not any time soon.

I have another script for fishing and I wanted the experience to increase each time that I caught a fish. Before your script I was using

 

 

def fish_experience

return $game_variables[24] += 1 if $game_variables[24] < 100

$game_variables[24] -= 100

$game_variables[100] += 1

end

 

My fishing experience was variable 24 and the level of fishing was variable 100.

 

Can you help me fix this so that I can use it for fishing using information from your script? I will also need this for any other profession that I create.

 

By the way your script says that it requires your core script of version 1.0.6+ but I cannot find a link to that version. I found the link to 1.0.5.

[casper667 130]

@DarthVollis Your fish_experience method would probably look like this:

def fish_experience
 $csca.change_profession_exp(:fishing, 1)
end

 

replace :fishing with your profession symbol and 1 with the amount of exp you want the party to gain. Level up/down will be handled automatically.

 

I also updated the core script to 1.0.6 now. It's nothing major though, only more detailed error/warning reporting.

Thanks for that.

i can use for a condition ?
like : i'm lvl 2 and i need lvl 3 to cut a tree

' Sorry about my bad english i'm brazilian '

[casper667 130]

You can use $csca.get_profession(symbol).level to get the level. Then just add >= 2 for the condition to be greater than or equal to 2.

[casper667 130]

Script has been updated.

 

version 1.0.3

- Added faster access to profession level for achievement system.
