Making new party members the same level as old ones

Hi! I'm Peva. I made this tutorial because I have seen people ask this question a few times. How do I make new party members the same level as my old ones?

Step 1: Variables Fix
First off, you need the variables fix if you don't already have it. You can find that here--- http://www.rpgmakervx.com/Game_Interpreter_fixed.txt If you don't know how to install it, look here--- http://www.rpgmakervx.com/variables-fix

Step 2: Pre-adding
After that is in, it's time to make the event! First, have all the dialog and movement or whatever you will have that happens prior to the new actor joining your part. Check some eventing tutorials on how to make this look nice and scenic.

Step 3: Naming your variable
Then, before they join, go to CONTROL VARIABLES. Make a new variable and call it "Initial level" or whatever you want.

Spoiler:

Is it all named? This is purely for convenience.

Step 4: Adding the actor
After it is named, have the control variables event control the first actor's level.

Spoiler:

(Note, this must be in the same event where the actor is being added to the party.) Now that level is stored. Let's go ahead and add the actor.

Spoiler:

Once they are in the party, go to change levels.

Spoiler:

Go to this new actor and say increase by variable "Ralph's level" or whatever you decided to call it.

Spoiler:

Then, you also have to decrease the level of the new actor by whatever this new actorâ€

s level was before they were added to the party. To make things easy, have them start at one, so we can just decrease it by one.

Spoiler:

And there we go! All done!

Spoiler:

Well, I have also made a demo for convenience. It also includes the features of allowing you to make an actor higher or lower by a set amount versus the actor!

Well, happy RMing! Smile
