HELP - NPC add to your group and follow even in map transitions?

[megatosh]

Is there a way to make an NPC add to your party and then also follow you inside of other maps?

I only ask because I have Vlad ABS & Cone of Vision + Follow Hero running for my enemies. But I also would like to have a character be added to party and be able to follow behind me and attack if I get attacked.

I have been able to get an NPC to follow me using the follow command from Vlad ABS, but when I change to another map, the NPC disappears because I created her with an event and the event is no longer valid on the other map.

Do i need to create a global variable to add her to my party and continue to follow me no matter if I have a map transition or what?

I have been trying to figure this out for hours, but I am a n00b at RMVX, so I can't quite grasp it yet.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Oh, and also in Neo Save System, I was wondering if someone could provide me with information on how to add the icon_index right next to the "Gold"? I tried creating a new "draw_ruby" class based upon the "draw_item" class for the save slots, but struggled for over six hours and still didn't make it work.. YAH, I'm a n00b..

Again, thank you!

Wrong section. If you're talking about another party member fighting for you on an abs, I don't think you could do that simply with events and triggers etc. You'd have to script some stuff in to make it work, but who knows.  :dead:

What exactly are you talking about?  This is what i got out of what you said:

(in short steps very very basically what would happen)

1 walk up to some npc
2 talk for a while
3 he says can i join your party
4 you say yeah
5 he starts foloing you
6 when aggroed he attacks also?


Because if you wanna do this  Mr. mos SABS is the perfect script for you. Its a battle system, probably better then the one you already have.

One you have the script integrated into your game this is what you wanna do:

1 Have an event of the npc
2 have a show choices thing for yes or no to join your party (unless you wont want that)
3 under yes use change party members (new party members name) control self switch A
4 goto the next event page and leave it blank, this will make the npc go away and give the effect of joining your party and leaving the store or house he was in.

Hope this helps somewhat.

sort of except that i want the npc to follow behind me so that you can view the npc as well when actor one is walking.
