Need some help with eventing

[LaDestitute]

I am working on a monster raising event (perhaps some scripting involved later on) system (somewhat similar to Chrono Trigger DS's Area of Ages, as it was the basis for it's concepts), and I need some help:

1. Is there a script that can extend the party (add more slots) or a command script line for when the party is full?
2. Is there a script that can make select choices, but in the style of squares?; as seen in most JPN to modern RPGs? Like: http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/3376 ... eboxes.png
3. I also need a script or a simple event system that can allow you to chose which monster you use to fight before battle, and that randomizes troops for a random battle, so like where you have several troops in the database, and the script or event system selects one randomly. Just that using variable-random, then conditional branch:variable is equal to 1 without Else gets really long if there's 25 or so or more conditional branches. If you dont understand:

@>Set Variable/Random X-X
@>Conditional Branch:
@>Variable is =1
@>Run Battle Command
@>End Branch
@>Conditional Branch:
@>Variable is =2
@>Run Battle Command
@>End Branch
ETC

1. yes, there is a script in the script listings thread in the scripts section that adds more actors.
2. yes, i believe it is also there. (i think made by slipknot?)
3. unfortunately, using the conditional branch will be a bit more hectic if you have several, or several hundreds
of monsters in your database AND dealing with the 'else' command..
i suggest using a script here to save some time. a variable having a value from an array, where the monster IDs are given. you want
a random monster to appear? use "rand(integer/number of troops)" function to randomize your troop appearance..

Can someone give me a link to that thread, or the script? Can't find it. Also, are you sure the choice window script is by Slipknot (now Sheol)? Can't find it.
I'm a bit confused...how would three work as you mentioned?
Thanks for the second one though.
