Replacing Party Members

[Zephren]

I have changed $game_party.add_actor(actor_id) to add an unlimited number of actors to the party:

  def add_actor(actor_id)
    # Get actor
    actor = $game_actors[actor_id]
    # If the actor is not in the party
    if not @actors.include?(actor)
      # Add actor
      @actors.push(actor)
      @party_size += 1
      # Refresh player
      $game_player.refresh
    end
  end

I have also created a method to replace party actors (those with an index less than 4 [i1]) with reserve party actors (those with an index 4 or greater [i2]):

  def replace(i1,i2)
    temp = $game_party.actors[i1]
    $game_party.actors[i1] = $game_party.actors[i2 + 4]
    $game_party.actors[i2 + 4] = temp
    $game_player.refresh
  end

Now...I have created an event that increases all of the actors in the party levels (just an NPC to talk to). The first time you talk to him, everyones level increases, but the second time, only the original party members levels increase. Also if I remove equipment from the extra party members, and trigger the event, they get their equipment back.

Any ideas as to what might cause this?

I'm guessing its only because it stores the variables for the 4 main party members rather than all of them, you would need to make it so that it would read and overwrite the variables for all the party members, as the system works on a default of 4...there will be a little bit of editting required ^_^
