Problem with catapillar system

[pedz]

i have been using a catapillar system and its all well and good but the one problem is, that if you change the graphic of one of the following characters in game it will only change the graphic of the char in the menu, not the person following behind.

in other words when i change the graphic of a char, i want it to change the graphic of the people following. :*)

a way to make the catapillar scrip only work if a switch is on would be great!!!!!!!

please tell me if this makes sence or not!!! :p

Well where's the script?

The other people in the catapiller are the other members of the party, aren't they?
If you're changing the lead person's appearance by an Event, just change the other character's appearance at the same time.

Here's a script that can be turn on/off with switch 20 by RPG advocate.
To change the switch number, go to line 2 and change the number:D
