Summary

I've created a skill that you learn from a book, and you keep reading the book to gain experience for the skill. For that, I have created a variable and linked it to one of my characters stats. E.g. Skill name = Hypnosis, variable name = Hypnosis, Magic attack changed to "Hypnosis". Now before I continue, I am not using scripting so forgive any typos but they don't matter because it's using common events.

I've created a skill that you learn from a book, and you keep reading the book to gain experience for the skill.


For that, I have created a variable and linked it to one of my characters stats.


E.g. Skill name = Hypnosis, variable name = Hypnosis, Magic attack changed to "Hypnosis".


Now before I continue, I am not using scripting so forgive any typos but they don't matter because it's using common events.


So when I read the book, I get the common event to do this;


Control Variables: [0001: Hypnosis EXP] += Random No. (1...4)


Change Parameters: [Player], MAT + Variable [0001: Hypnosis EXP]


That works perfectly.


My problem is a conditional branch that levels up the skill if you have enough experience. It's instantly failing despite me having enough EXP.


Here's the script:


Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: Hypnosis EXP] >= 10


 @> (Basically level up the skill)


 ELSE: (Fails)


It's taking me directly to the fail despite Hypnosis EXP being 17, it's driving me nuts.


Any suggestions?
