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?
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!
