A couple of (hopefully) basic questions

[Actingman00]

I have a four questions that I would love if somebody answered , Thanks in advance.

1. How do I make it so that everytime I get into a battle it takes away the first character in the party since he is only the sprite I use for walking around, he doesn't battle.  And then after the fight he comes back into the party. I tried a couple of things with common events but they didn't work.

2. When my party members reach a certain level I want them to change into a new actor.  Now not all characters do this at the same level, and sometimes one will change, then change again.  What would be the easiest way to do this?

3. None of my characters use weapons, or armour so I need to be able to make it so when I fight I actually do damage.  It would help to know what all the abreviations mean and what they do (P-Def, M-Def, Dex etc). The enemies also use abilities like the characters,  Also, I don't want the attacks to take up any magic points or whatever.

4. In cut scenes sometimes the text says the name you chose at the beginning of the game, how do you get it to do this? I saw in the text they put /PN but it didn't work for me.

2.Just use common event to check if actor reached the any level you want to change.

4.use \n[id]
replace id with actor's id in database~

Okay, so for two...I don't understand lol, sorry.  I don't know how to do that.
If you could explain it more step by step that would be great.

Sorry if that's an inconvenience.

That's ok. Actingman00

This is example system, I think it probably better than explain~

3) One thing you can do is make weapons with a blank name, discription, and icon and have them have stat values. Then just have them as the actor's starting weapon/armor and click the "Fixed" button. I also think there's a script floating around that gives base damage for when no weapons are equiped but I haven't seen it in forever.

Thanks, I put that in common events right?

2) Here's an example of a common event, that you can call after a battle.
  Just use a "Call Common Event" command in your monster event after the "Battle Processing" command.

Name:                        Trigger:
Level Up                     None

List of event Commands:
Control Variables: [0001:Actor  level] = [Aluxes]'s Level
Conditional Branch: Variable[0001: Actor 1 level] == 5
    Change Party Member: Remove [Aluxes]
    Change Party Member: Add [Estelle], Initialize
Branch End
Control Variables: [0001:Actor  level] = [Basil]'s Level
Conditional Branch: Variable[0001: Actor 1 level] == 8
    Change Party Member: Remove [Basil]
    Change Party Member: Add [Felix], Initialize
Branch End

Control Variables: [0001:Actor  level] = [Estelle]'s Level
Conditional Branch: Variable[0001: Actor 1 level] == 10
    Change Party Member: Remove [Estelle]
    Change Party Member: Add [Hilda], Initialize
Branch End

So here, I change Actor 1 (Aluxes) to Actor 5 (Estelle) when he reaches level 5,
I change Actor 2 (Basil) to Actor 6 (Felix) when he reaches level 8
Then, I change Actor 5 (Estelle, who was Aluxes) to Actor 8 (Hilda) when he reaches level 10

In your case, Actors 1, 5, and 8 will all have the same name (I presume)

Now, if you are using Random Encounters, we'll have to use a switch & modify the method Actor:level=()
to set the switch to ON.

[ EDIT ] Woratana's solution will work for Event initiated battles, or random battles. I don't know how much lag
will result from having the parallel common event running every frame? 

3) Right-click on the attribute, and select "What's This" for an explanation. To make a skill not use up any SP, set the "SP Cost" to '0'

Be Well

Place [wait 1 frame] at the end of common event, it's the really useful trick when you're eventing
