Checking if an actor is in the party

[Armor Nick]

Let's say I have an alchemy system, but the player can only select it if the alchemist is in the party, otherwise it's disabled. How would I do this checking?

Thanks in advance.

Try using $game_party.actors.include?(actor_id), where actor_id is the id of the Alchemist in your database. Of coarse there is more to it than just this method, but I'm sure you know the rest. Peace!

That's won't work, Akahi. Game_Party#actors holds the actual actor data, not the index of actor. Armor Nick, try this little quick method:

class Game_Party
  def has_actor?(id)
    @actors.each { |actor| return true if actor.id == id }
    return false
  end
end

That method could be made easier.

class Game_Party
  def has_actor?(actor_id)
    return @actors.include?($game_actors[actor_id])
  end
end

My turn to follow behind you. :p
