Pokemon Essentials V21 Level Caps

[HyperStream]

Hi all, I have been looking around on google for a couple days now for a level cap system that will work on Pokémon essentials v21 and I am coming up short so I thought id make an account and post a thread myself so I apologise in advance for any way I do not use this site correctly as I am new :).

So my issue: As the title suggests I am trying to implement a level cap system to my Pokémon essentials v21 fan game. I have looked around online and found a couple different methods for doing this however they either: do not work with v21 sadly ((broken link removed)) or don't seem to work with the gen 8 items expS, expL, ect... (https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/easy-levelcap-v16-v17-v18-v19.452355/). I was wondering if anyone has a solution to level caps in v21 or if they could attempt helping me tweak one of these other methods to work with the new items.

thanks in advance for any help someone can provide :)
look forward to hearing from you

So I've been messing around with the scripting and have edited the Rare Candy function in a way that allows multiple rare candies to be used at once. I am unsure if I will be able to make the xp candies function however.

I have used the level cap code from ClaraDragon and added a recursive loop to allow for the multiple rare candies to be used. The function below is a complete replacement of the Rare candy function at Line 922 of the Item_Effects script as of version v21.1

ItemHandlers::UseOnPokemon.add(:RARECANDY, proc { |item, qty, pkmn, scene|
  if pkmn.shadowPokemon?
    scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It won't have any effect."))
    next false
  end
  levelCap=15
    levelCap=25  if $game_switches[4]     #1 badge
    levelCap=35  if $game_switches[5]     #2 badge
    levelCap=40  if $game_switches[6]     #3 badge
    levelCap=45  if $game_switches[7]     #4 badge
    levelCap=50  if $game_switches[8]     #5 badge
    levelCap=55  if $game_switches[9]     #6 badge
    levelCap=60  if $game_switches[10]    #7 badge
    levelCap=75  if $game_switches[11]    #8 badge
    levelCap=100 if $game_switches[12]    #E4
  until qty <= 0
    if pkmn.level >= GameData::GrowthRate.max_level || pkmn.level>=levelCap
      new_species = pkmn.check_evolution_on_level_up
      if !Settings::RARE_CANDY_USABLE_AT_MAX_LEVEL || !new_species
        scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It won't have any effect."))
        break
        next false
      end
      # Check for evolution
      pbFadeOutInWithMusic do
        evo = PokemonEvolutionScene.new
        evo.pbStartScreen(pkmn, new_species)
        evo.pbEvolution
        evo.pbEndScreen
        scene.pbRefresh if scene.is_a?(PokemonPartyScreen)
      end
      next true
    end
    # Level up
    pbSEPlay("Pkmn level up")
    pbChangeLevel(pkmn, pkmn.level + 1, scene)
    $bag.remove(:RARECANDY)
    scene.pbHardRefresh
    qty -= 1
  end
})

I'm sure this code is far from perfect but it works XD and that's good enough for me, let me know if you try this out and run into some problems. It has been working perfectly for me so far.
