how to tell if actor is in party?

[lambchop]

I've been cleaning up some old scripts, and one of the things I never figured out was how to tell if an actor was in the party.

I have an active/reserve party system, and right now, I'm using switches to control everything (bad, i know).

So, does anyone know what conditional or bool indicates whether an actor is in the active party?

lol it would be whichever one you have chosen for it im afraid lol

add in a new script above main

class Game_Party
  def has_actor?(actor_id)
    # Setup Array
    actor_ids = []
    # Get All Actor IDs
    @actors.each {|actor| actor_ids << actor.id}
    # If All Actors included
    return actor_ids.include?(actor)
  end
end

now you can do

$game_party.has_actor?(actor_id)

where actor_id is the actor's id to check

You made that way to difficult Trickster.

class Game_Party
  def has_actor?(actor_id)
    @actors.each {|a| return true if a.id == actor_id}
    return false
  end
  def has_actors?(*ids)
    i = ids.size
    @actors.each {|a| i -= 1 if ids.include?(a.id)}
    return i == 0
  end
end

:p

You should flatten "ids" in the beginning of the has_actors? method, as it can be easier to pass an array than multiples arguments.
