[VX] 1st Character Slot effects gameplay

[ikos]

Like a "Leader System".
Where, when an actor is in the first slot, the gameplay alters.
I had an idea where whoever was in the first slot, a switch would turn on. That seem s pretty much impossible with events, so i was wondering if a script of this existed. Any feed back is nice.

I don't know how to make a complete script for this, but you can use this code to check which actor (by ID #) is in the first slot.

$game_party.actors[0].id == 1

You can put it in a Conditional Branch in a Parallel Process Common Event and turn on a switch, or just directly put commands in.

So is $game_party.actor[0] actor id, or the slot?

The "actor[0]" is the slot, and the number after is the ID.
And sorry, I didn't notice before this was for VX. I'm not sure if it'll work for RGSS2, but you can try it all the same.

tried that. didnt work in vx. try using this script snippet

module Omed_Formations
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #The id of the actor you wish to have in the first slot to 
  #activate switch/variable
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Actor_id = 1
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  #Set to either switch or Var
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
  Switch_or_Var = "Var"
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  #Id of the switch/var you want to use
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
  Switch_var_id = 1
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  #Amount to Set to Variable
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
  
  Var_Amount = 1
  
  
  end
  
class Scene_Map
  include Omed_Formations
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Alias Listings
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    alias the_old_start start
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Add in start
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
    def start
      the_old_start
      zomg
    end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Da code
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    def zomg
      for actor in $game_party.members
      if actor.id == Actor_id && actor.index == 0
        if Switch_or_Var == "Switch"
       $game_switches[Switch_var_id]= true
     elsif Switch_or_Var == "Var"
       $game_variables[Switch_var_id]+= Var_Amount
     end
       end
 end
end
end

lol quick thing i made. very newb at this so meh. make sure to make an event with the condition you want and add in whatever effects you want. might make a formations script if i feel like it. the downside of this is that you havta open up the menu for it to take effect
