how to force actor[1] to randomly attack

[tatao]

"force action" allows you to force an actor to attack, but only based on his position inside the party

i would like to know the line to force a specific actor in the database to attack

Attack and only attack?

Well, in Scene_Battle under def phase3_next_actor, you can just set the actions automatically if active battler's id is a certain id.

class Scene_Battle
  Force_Attack_Battlers = [1]
  alias_method :seph_forceattackbattlers_scnbtl_p3na, :phase3_next_actor
  def phase3_next_actor
    seph_forceattackbattlers_scnbtl_p3na
    return if @phase == 4
    if Force_Attack_Battlers.include?(@active_battler.actor_id)
      @active_battler.current_action.kind = 0
      @active_battler.current_action.basic = 0
      @active_battler.current_action.target_index = rand($game_troop.enemies.size)
      phase3_next_actor
    end
end

Just modify the Force_Attack_Battlers with actor ids who will attack randomly.

Seph, does this mean that you could make an NPC join your party and they attack on their own ? If so, would there be a way to turn this on and off, and make it usuable with more than 1 character ?

Sure, I guess.

class Game_Actor
  Force_Attack_Battlers = [1]
  attr_accessor :force_attacking
  alias_method :seph_forceattacking_gmactr_setup, :setup
  def setup(actor_id)
    seph_forceattacking_gmactr_setup(actor_id)
    @force_attacking = Force_Attack_Battlers.include?(actor_id)
  end
end

class Scene_Battle
  Force_Attack_Battlers = [1]
  alias_method :seph_forceattackbattlers_scnbtl_p3na, :phase3_next_actor
  def phase3_next_actor
    seph_forceattackbattlers_scnbtl_p3na
    return if @phase == 4
    if @active_battler.force_attacking
      @active_battler.current_action.kind = 0
      @active_battler.current_action.basic = 0
      @active_battler.current_action.target_index = rand($game_troop.enemies.size)
      phase3_next_actor
    end
  end
end

Fill your Force_Attack_Battlers = [1] with actor id numbers.
To turn on add off, use

$game_actors[actor_id].force_attacking = true or false

I know this sounds noobish, but where do I put the script ? Hehe

 

[Sheol]

In a new page, before Main

Thats what I thought...
(Looks around suspiciously)

actually i would like to locate the position of a specific actor inside the party, so i'm trying something like

if @party_members.self[0] = 1 then #trying to check if actor 1 is in position 0 of the array
$game_variables[16] = 1 # assigning value 1 to variable 16

it doesn't seem to work
i used the event function "call script" and i added this test inside

any idea?
