[VX] Party Changer

Busy indeed.
No I haven't but it's a really easy thing to do. I'll edit the script in my lunch our.

That's cool man, don't rush yourself. I mean, I really appreciate you providing this script for everyone. It is my favorite one that I am using, hands down.
 
It still aint fixed...I still get the same error with this updated version that has to with the new custom commands script. If I set the lead character to be forced in the party, that aint even possible cuz i get an error and thats what I mainly want to do...now I'm not saying the dead character bug isnt fixed but the bug i stated isnt... :pissed:

I dont need to tell you what error looks like. Alll you need to do is make a new event with the party changer system putting force actor 1 there and add another character before hand. Then the error takes place...

Otherwise it's me who is making the mistakes $game_system.forced_party = [actor1_id]
I've also tryed making a forced or locked actor in party like this too...
$game_system.forced_party = [Iain_id] (who is actor 1 too...)

:pissed: why won't it work...if I can't get this party script to work soon...I'm just gonna forget about it as I am very impatient and don't have long to make my game. Plus I will just stick to the limit break script you have dargor, which I also want.


Yes Dargor...I call Scene_PartyChanger.new before I use those scripts.
 
Yes I know, i haven't fixed that.

It fixes the bug of having a dead lead character.

I've only fixed the lead actor not being switched on the map if he's dead. Other updates are comming soon. Also, I've tried what you're trying to do with Party Changer 3.9 and Custom Commands 1.15 and it works just fine.

Godamit...I was hoping to use this script but it's filled with too
"undefined local variable or method 'actor1'_id' for game interpreter"

Looks like you're doing something wrong in your script call event. What's the exact script line you're calling?

It looks like your putting the wrong thing in the brackets.

the line you have is:
$game-system.forced_party = [Iain_id]

Should be:
$game-system.forced_party = [1]

Where the script is calling for "actor_id" it is asking for the actor number, not the name of the Actor.

Hope this helps because that is the way I understood your problem.
 
exactly, that's the problem. The script needs a number, or a variable holding a number. So, as Titant Strif said, it would be either:

$game_system.forced_party = [1]

or

actor_id = 1
$game_system.forced_party = [actor_id]

Also, a bit offtopic but, why would you be in a rush? Unless your life depends on it O_o.

Wow, I feel good! I actually got something about scripting right!

Oh, and the problem I was experiencing earlier, if it has to do with the Custom Commands, would you be posting the fix here or on your Custom Commands page?
 
For sure you got it right!

And about your question, normally I like when people post questions about scripts in their respective topics, but the custom commands script is an exception I guess. 50%, maybe more, of my scripts need it to work so, I don't mind about that. :)

I'm at work right now but I'll try to update it ASAP. ;)

Take care!

lol my brother is at uni and he comes back every odd term. I wanna make the best project I can before the summer hols where he will be back for 2 months. I want him to play my game and I haven't even finished my opening scene yet... :shock:

and titan strife gj my friend. Hey dargor...is there any more stated bugs left to fix?

Horah...this is great. The main actor is in the party for good just as I wished. Now to wait for the limitbreak system to be fixed to a certain extent :lol: that way I can test the game well with a good estimate of how long the gameplay will last. Having special moves can change game time.

Thats another reason why I'm in a rush. I want to know how long game will last with limit breaks on too...
 
Can someone help me? When I try to change the order of the party, I get this.

Sctipt 'Party_Changer' line 1485: NoMethodError occurred.
Undefined method `clear_selection_rect` for #<Window_MenuStatus:0x1edc798>
 
Make sure you have the custom commands script above Main and above any other custom scripts, but below all the default scripts. Then, make sure you place the party changer script below the Custom Commands script.

I've already done that. D:
 
I screenshot the errors I keep getting.

I get this one when I select party and try to do anything or back out of it.

I Get this when when I try to select order.

Hello Dargor,

Thanks for the great script, it works really well. There is just one error I'm running into that I cannot figure out how to fix (Though I'm sure its a really simple problem, due to my lack of knowledge in scripting...)

When I first boot up my game to test it, the game will run perfectly, no problems, no errors. When I save what I've tested and leave the playtest to edit mistakes that I've made or add more, and try to load up my save file, I get the following error message;
"Script 'Multiple Parties' line 371: NoMethoderror occured
undefined method 'data' for nil:Nil Class

This seemed to me at first to be an easy fix, for I thought it was just because it was trying to load the data from your demo instead of my game, which is where i copied the script from. It turned out not to be the case because when I tried the same thing on the demo you provided, I recieved the same error message, so I don't even have a version that loads the data correctly to troubleshoot with.

I apologize if this problem has already been addressed and solved, I read through most of the posts and did not see this problem being spoken of. Once I can figure out what I'm doing wrong here, eveyrthing else should be working smoothly! :biggrin:

Oh, and I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but I have not edited line 371 at all in my script, or in the script in the demo you made.
 
I want to thank you, Dargor, for all your inspiring works. I’m fairly new to game making, but every time I need a script now I feel like checking out if you made one, before looking elsewhere. I’m using your Custom Commands, Large Party, Party Changer, Auto Battle, Bestiary-Bestiary Command, Advanced Text and Advanced Save Files: you’re basically my top scripter along with Kylock.

I was having some issues with the Party Changer, as the game freezed when the locked leading character was incapacitated. I see you’ve fixed this already, so again: THANK YOU. I’ll find a way to credit you in some “special” way in my game, if I ever finish one.
