$game_party.actors[]

[YukoHana]

Hallo :D

I'm trying to script (failing at it as well) a common event conditional branch. This common event checks to see which character is the lead character and ignores the rest of the characters once triggered. Like if the character steps on a trap it will only activate once that character is on the trap.

What I am trying to do.

Conditional Branch:

if $game_party.actors[0] == $game_party.actors[2]

Of course it's failing because the snippet is erroneous but I have no idea how to properly write it without screwing up the syntax.

I'm moving this topic because it belongs more to RGSS Support than to Script Request.

First of all, you don't need the "if" when you are using scripts in a conditional branch.
Your script doesn't work because you are saying:
"If the first party member is the same as the third party member then do something".

Since you can't have multiple instance of the same actor in your party, this piece of code can't work.
If you want to compare a party actor to an actor from your database, you need to use $game_actors[id].
So your line of code should be

$game_party.actors[0] == $game_actors[2]

o.o *twitch* I tried that with -if- infront of it! I'm so dumb!

It's not working for some reason. What I'm trying to pull off is if the third party member is in the first position *due to party arrange script* it would trigger the event.

Well, if the 3rd party member is in the first position, it would mean the third one became the first one, right?
You need to use the 2 variables like this:
$game_party.actors[index]; index is the position in the party. $game_party.actors[0] will return the first actor in the party
$game_actors[id]; id is the ID of the actors in the database. $game_actors[1] would return the Actor object for the first actor in the database (by default Aluxes in XP, Ralph in VX)

So

$game_party.actors[0] == $game_actors[2]

would mean: "if the first member in the party is the second actor in the database, then do something"

Do you get any RGSS Errors or does it simply do nothing?

The problem at hand has been solved elsewhere. (Thanks for being so helpful Dargor ^^)

For the curious a custom script change the solution to the problem:

$game_party.actors[$game_player.main_actor] == $game_actors[2]
