It may not be the most elegant solution, but the following worked for me! ^_^

First, make a common event (e.g. called "Level Up Apple") with Trigger: "None". Pick a variable you're not using for something else (I'll call this variable X). Then add a single command: Change Level > Actor > Variable #X, Increase by 1 (you can also tick the "Show Level Up" box if you like). Click OK, and it should look something like:

Change Level : {Item Target ID}, + 1 (Show Level Up)

Then make or find your item (called e.g. "Level Up Apple"). Change the Damage type to "HP Damage", then type this into the damage formula box:

v[X]=b.id;0

where X is replaced, as above, with the ID of the variable you chose to use.

Finally, add a "Common Event" effect to the item that calls the "Level Up Apple" event you made earlier. =)

Explanation

The damage formula says:

• set variable #X to the value of the target actor's ID
• do zero damage

Then the common event effect is processed, which says:

• level up the actor with ID stored in variable #X.

doing this makes all characters in the party level up and i want it to only level up the selected

You're right, sorry. Didn't think to test it with multiple characters. The formula for the level up item should be:

v[X]=b._actorId;0

The terminology has changed since VX Ace; the "b.id" thing, it seems, was returning null due to being unrecognised. Looks like the default behaviour for a null variable in the Raise Level command is to apply it to all party members, rather than none.

Anyway, this time I tested it with a four-character party and it seemed to work as intended. Let me know if you spot any other problems with it, though! ^_^

is there a way to keep the item menu open after using the item?

Not with this method, I think; calls to common events exit the menu screen.

The program should have the capabilty of doing a level up item like the Lv apple or rare candy but it can either be the entire party or specific characters
