I need some code!

[MadBlue]

Hi guys,

Long time reader, new poster

I've been doing abit of RPG Maker XP for a while now, and starting to use abit more of scripting side of things, however, I've looked around on a number of forums trying to find a simple script that will allow me to temporary add a new Actor during a quest (pretty much like a Lost & Found Quest), and when the quest is complete, return that actor to the person that gave the quest.

I've seen a few party member changing scripts, but I do not believe it's something I am after?

Can anyone post up an example for me?


Thank You.

Couldn't you just do that with events? Like have the person who gave you the quest, be activated with a switch, and have a conditional branch checking to see if so and so is in your party, and if so, choose the event command, change part member-->then remove...If that makes sense. If not, I can write up a tutorial for ya, or am I just completely off and not getting you right?

I'm trying not to do it that way.

Because that would mean that I would have to create a new actor by going to Tools > Database > Actors Tab, and permanently add a an Actor there? I'm trying to do this via scripting because it's only going to be used once or twice, in the game.

Trust me, adding a new actor will probably be much easier than trying to create a "temporary" one via scripting. You're probably not going to reach the limit of actors (99 or 999?) so I wouldn't worry about it. Even if it's only going to be used once or twice in game, it's much simpler to do it this way.

Ok dude, I made you a demo. Just so I know that we're on the same page, and as Regi said, it's much easier. Here you are.

Hope that gives you an idea of how you could go about doing it.  :thumb:

Another simple solution is to just make the 'guest' an item. Add the item to your party, then remove it (him) when you return to the quest-giver.

be well
