Level Checking
If this has already been done, I apologize. I have obviously not seen it and just gone ahead with this.
But anyway, Level Checking is something that restricts the player from running through the entire game. It checks a party members level and checks it against a conditional branch to see if it can give out stuff.
To start with, create the event that will give the player an item or skill, or lets them through to the next area. I've gone with skills, because its easier to do.
Here you can see that my villager has a skill he wants to pass on to my main character. However, he'll only give it to him if he is over Lv 5. This is very simple to do. Create a variable in "Control Variable" and do the following:
Afterwards create a conditional branch, and on the first page, check variable, and have it check if the variable Player Lv Check is GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 5. Seriously, don't screw up here by putting equal and wondering what went wrong. After that, put in a message telling the player he's over Level 5 and he can have his skill and use the "Change Skill" tab to do this. However if the character isn't, just put a message saying he can't have the skill in the else part of the conditional branch.
Of course you can do this for other stuff as well, and you can even use it for finding out if the entire party is worthy enough by making a few more variables for them. Just edit the event a little bit and see what you can do with it.
Hopefully this may have been of some help. I won't say this is the best tutorial ever, but its pretty useful to have.
EDIT: Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that a fixed Game_Interpreter script is needed to pull this off. If you need this fix just paste this in your Game_Interpreter,
