Level Up Common

XP + VX + ACE

by Kyonides

Introduction

For RMXP & RMVX

This simple scriptlet will let you call a given Common Event by configuring the ACTORS_EVENT in such a way that it will find the target actor's current level and call the common event if any was found.

How does it find the right common event?

Well, it is very simple to explain. The scriptlet will look for the lowest level possible.
If you set a level like 5 and your actor has just reached level 2, it will trigger the level 5's common event.
Once that actor's level goes beyond that point, it will have to search for a higher level if available.
If no other level is available, nothing will happen.
If you wanna set a specific common event for the remaining levels, 100 or your game's maximum level will suffice.

I embedded some comments in the script to help you add more actors.
Right now it will only work with Aluxes aka Alex or Ralph.

For RMVX ACE

This simple scriptlet will let you call a given Common Event by leaving an extremely simple note tag in an Actor's Note Box.

Instructions for the Old Script

Code:

<level up ce 50>

Thus once the leveling up process ends, and the level up message shows up on screen, the game will call that common event in no time.

Old Script

Code:

# * Level Up Common ACE * #
#  Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#  2024-03-18

# Leave a tag in a given Actor's notebox.
# Example: <level up ce 100>
# And it will call that common event after the actor finishes leveling up.

module LvUpCm
  COMMON_EVENT = /<level up ce (\d+)>/i
end

class RPG::Actor
  def level_up_common_event
    @note[LvUpCm::COMMON_EVENT]
    $1.to_i
  end
end

class Game_Actor
  alias :kyon_lvl_up_cmmn_gm_act_lvl_up :level_up
  def level_up
    kyon_lvl_up_cmmn_gm_act_lvl_up
    call_level_up_common_event
  end

  def call_level_up_common_event
    event_id = actor.level_up_common_event
    $game_temp.reserve_common_event(event_id) if event_id > 0
  end
end

Instructions for the New Script

Code:

<level up 1-5 ce 100>

There 1 and 5 define the range of levels while 100 stands for the Common Event #100.

Thus once the leveling up process ends, and the level up message shows up on screen, the game will call that common event in no time.

Ports for All RGSS-Based Makers Are Now Available Here!

First, I just posted the original version of the VX ACE port but later I changed my mind and created ports for XP and VX. Since both engines don't include a note box in the Actors database, I defined the ACTORS_EVENT constant to help the game developer set any actor's level up common event based on some sort of ranges.

Then I noticed that VX ACE should also get that feature, and that's how the updated script was released as well. This means that it relies on a different note tag now.

Maintenance Update for XP & VX!

Thanks to a forumer's report I had received yesterday, I tested my XP & VX demos and found that I needed to sort the levels first before the system ever tries to find the lowest level group possible based on the new level the hero has recently reached.

The VX ACE port was not affected by this bug.
