[SOLVED]checking a party member's state with a call event

[darkcieran]

i want to set a variable equal to a party member's status id. i tried game_variables[1] = game_party.actors[0].state but nothing happens. any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: i'd like to do this with a call script function.

You already know the call, it's just that you forget you needed to update it just in case it's updated during gameplay. (This means you should include this in some update method of the Scene_Map class or something like that).

Edit...

Well, I just thought the missing $ character before $game_party.actors was just a silly mistake that he could fix on his own by taking a look at default scripts. Even so you should never forget about those details or it won't ever work.

I'm not sure what the calls are, but I know you need to add the $ symbol before them. I.E. $game_variables[1] works, but I'm not sure what the call for the second would be. I'm thinking this might be better placed in Script Support, but I'll leave it here for now unless you want me to move it because I'm not sure. :P

The problem is... the actor's states are stored with an array. Meaning, $game_variables
