[Scripting Question] Level cap version 18.1

[Luxinaj]

So, i was starting to use essential, and i want to the pokemon stop gaining exp at X lvl until get a badge.

More of the scripting recommendation i found are from scripting codes that i can't find in the default script of essential, so i ask if someone can explain how to do a cap for ¿beginners?

Thanx!

 

[Aioross]

cap natural exp gain and usage of rare candies and exp candies with the value of a variable that u update after defeating gym leaders

 

[Luxinaj]

But how? Most of the explanation i found don't explain the process, and in most there are codes that can't be found in the Essential base.

Ej badgelevel=MAXLEVEL
if pbOwnedByPlayer?(thispoke.index) && internalbattle
badgelevel=10
badgelevel=20 if pbPlayer.numbadges>=1
badgelevel=30 if pbPlayer.numbadges>=2
badgelevel=40 if pbPlayer.numbadges>=3
badgelevel=50 if pbPlayer.numbadges>=4
badgelevel=60 if pbPlayer.numbadges>=5
badgelevel=70 if pbPlayer.numbadges>=6
badgelevel=80 if pbPlayer.numbadges>=7
badgelevel=100 if pbPlayer.numbadges>=8
end
if thispoke.level>badgelevel
newexp=PBExperience.pbAddExperience(thispoke.exp,1,growthrate)
else
newexp=PBExperience.pbAddExperience(thispoke.exp,exp,growthrate)
end

To modify this code, Rot8er said to go to "def pbObedianceCheck" in PokemomBattle_Battler, but that def don't exist in any of the script base, and don't explain how to create it.

This code was made by Janichroma, you can insert it in the script section:Battle_ExpAndMoveLearning:

Spoiler:

The only part you need to alter depending on your game is the array "levelLimits". Each number represents a badge and its level threshhold. In this example the threshold without a badge is 20 with 1 is 25 with 2 is 30 etc.The length of this array should be the number of badges in your game+1.

# Don't bother calculating if gainer is already at max Exp
    if pkmn.exp>=PBExperience.pbGetMaxExperience(growthRate)
      pkmn.calcStats   # To ensure new EVs still have an effect
      return
    end
    [COLOR="Red"]levelLimits = [20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60]
    leadersDefeated = pbPlayer.numbadges
    if pkmn.level>=levelLimits[leadersDefeated]
      exp = 0
    elsif thispoke.level<levelLimits[leadersDefeated]
      totalExpNeeded = PBExperience.pbGetStartExperience(levelLimits[leadersDefeated], growthRate)
      currExpNeeded = totalExpNeeded - pkmn.exp
      if exp > currExpNeeded
        exp = currExpNeeded
      end
    end[/COLOR]
    isPartic    = defeatedBattler.participants.include?(idxParty)
    hasExpShare = expShare.include?(idxParty)
    level = defeatedBattler.level
    # Main Exp calculation

That help me a lot!

I put the code whit 2 pokemon, lvl 15 and 20. When i switch the lvl 15 for the lvl 25 and won, it's return this message:

"undefined local variable or method .thispoke for....... "

I put the code on the loop where the bar growth

loop do # For each level gained in turn...
# EXP Bar animation
levelMinExp = PBExperience.pbGetStartExperience(curLevel,growthRate)
levelMaxExp = PBExperience.pbGetStartExperience(curLevel+1,growthRate)

tempExp1 = pkmn.exp
battler = pbFindBattler(idxParty)
-------------------------------------------------------
if pkmn.exp>=PBExperience.pbGetMaxExperience(growthRate)
pkmn.calcStats # To ensure new EVs still have an effect
return
end
levelLimits = [20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60]
leadersDefeated = pbPlayer.numbadges
if pkmn.level>=levelLimits[leadersDefeated]
exp = 0
elsif thispoke.level<levelLimits[leadersDefeated]
totalExpNeeded = PBExperience.pbGetStartExperience(levelLimits[leadersDefeated], growthRate)
currExpNeeded = totalExpNeeded - pkmn.exp
if exp > currExpNeeded
exp = currExpNeeded
end
end
--------------------------------------------------------

Mb forgot to check the code. Just change "thispoke" to "pkmn" in this line

elsif [COLOR="Red"]thispoke[/COLOR].level<levelLimits[leadersDefeated]

elsif [COLOR="Red"]pkmn[/COLOR].level<levelLimits[leadersDefeated]

elsif [COLOR="Red"]pkmn[/COLOR].level<levelLimits[leadersDefeated]

The same problem but with levelLimits. Maybe is in the wrong line?

 

[Turn20Negate]

First of all I'd advise you to not put the code after the exp bar animation, because even if it doesn't raise an error there, it won't do anything. The experience calculation is already done there. Try putting the code where I proposed to insert it and if that doesn't work post your error message, I'm happy to help you. :)

Same error: https://ibb.co/7tRVmyy

I post the full code with the scrip in case it's help. Thanx for the help, really. There are a lot of stuff changed in v18 that the tutorial don't explain.

I apologize for not testing the code myself first. But now after realizing I put it into the wrong place, I can confirm that it should work now. Just delete the code you inserted beforehand and instead add this:

Spoiler:

    if i<0
      i = BattleHandlers.triggerExpGainModifierItem(@initialItems[0][idxParty],pkmn,exp)
    end
    exp = i if i>=0

    leadersDefeated = pbPlayer.numbadges

      exp = 0
    elsif pkmn.level<levelLimits[leadersDefeated]
      totalExpNeeded = PBExperience.pbGetStartExperience(levelLimits[leadersDefeated], growthRate)
      currExpNeeded = totalExpNeeded - pkmn.exp
      if exp > currExpNeeded
        exp = currExpNeeded
      end
    end[/COLOR]
    # Make sure Exp doesn't exceed the maximum
    expFinal = PBExperience.pbAddExperience(pkmn.exp,exp,growthRate)
    expGained = expFinal-pkmn.exp
    return if expGained<=0
    # "Exp gained" message

Here's a script you can check out. It has the added benefit of preventing levelling up through items.
