[Dargor]

Sure, I can do that.

 

[darky000]

oh Thank you! Excited already.

I get an error on line 47 whenever I try to start the game with the Party Changer Main Menu script. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Good job.

What's the error?

 

[mebardo]

when is that a new demo coming?

 

[Dargor]

I'll probably post a new demo this week. I can't say when though.

Yes, I'm one step closer to making my FF4 Pack, thank you!

 

[benos]

Members who are not in the party can get a % of the EXP earned in battles.

Sorta like FF12 when you earn LP. :thumb:

 

[blazingamer]

More like Legend of Dragoon, in FFXII they get the same amount of LP in or out of the party, LoD gives a small % to those not on the party which is like what this does.

Love your scripts man but few question I want to ask:

1. How do I make a hero 'unforced' like not force to be leader anymore if you get what I mean.

2. How do I make it that you must have 4 party member in the party to exit the menu instead of just having the leader himself.

3. How do I make the party switcher not available on the Menu Add-on one during a dungeon and available during save point like most RPG's?

I'm not quite sure if I understand.
If you call the scene with no arguments like this:

$scene = Scene_Party.new

No one will be forced or locked.

2. How do I make it that you must have 4 party member in the party to exit the menu instead of just having the leader himself.

You need the new version (2.2.7+)
When calling the scene, use:

$scene = Scene_Party.new(min_members, max_members, forced_members, lock_leader)

instead of

$scene = Scene_Party.new(max_members, forced_members, lock_leader)

3. How do I make the party switcher not available on the Menu Add-on one during a dungeon and available during save point like most RPG's?

Simply use

$game_system.party_disabled = flag #(true, false)

NEW SCRIPT VERSION: 2.3.1

New features:

When all party members collapse in battle, the party changer pops up to let you form a new party.
When ALL members are dead, then it's gameover!

To activate/deactivate this option, simply use:

$game_temp.multiple_party_battle = flag #(true/false)

Plus, you can now use custom actor graphics!
A new screenshot has been added in the first post.

Coming next: Multiple Parties!

Take care!

I was wondering if there is a way to lock an actor in a position other than first.

In my game, I want to have sidequests where an actor will join your party, but he will be controlled by AI, and I don't want it to show him as the party leader.

So I guess what I'm asking is-
Is there a way to lock a player in the fourth position?

Feature Added.
Script updated to version 2.4

You now have to call the scene this way:

$scene = Scene_Party.new(min_actors, max_actors,  forced_actors, locked_actors)

min_actors/max_actors are obviously the min/max numbers of actors allowed in the party.

However, the next two arguments are different in this version.

forced_actors is an array containing id of actors forced to be in the party. The new thing here is that you can put nil objects in this array.

Example:
If your array is [1, nil, nil, 3], then actor 1 will be placed in the slot #1 and actor 3 will be placed in slot #4.

locked_actors is an array containing id of actors forced to be locked in the position defined by the previous variable (forced_actors).

@masquerade__
To do what you asked, you will have to call the scene this way:

$scene = Scene_Party.new(min, max, [nil, nil, nil, [COLOR=Red]1[/COLOR]],[[COLOR=Blue]1[/COLOR]])

[nil, nil, nil, 1] means that all slots will be empty except slot #4 in which Aluxes (actor id 1) will be.

[1] means that Aluxes will be locked (in slot 4)

Dargor, your script is totally, totally awesomely. It's pretty thorough.

Would it be best to, by default, make the

@use_custom_graphic = flag

on Line 43 false by default, since people aren't naturally observant?

More importantly though, I found the portion of the script that lets you determine the arguments for the Party Changer In-Battle menu. I was wondering, is there any way to be able to change what the arguments for this are during the course of the game? For instance, if I needed to have an actor forced into the party at one point, but either unforce him or force a different actor later in the game.

Wow, there sure have been a lot of posts that I wasn't alerted to in my subscription. Funny.

 

[ljackstar]

Are you using any other scripts?

Does this mean you can't use it with the ABS script!

 

[Dargor]

@GreenBanana
Sure you can! Simply use $game_temp.menu_party_args = arguments

@ljackstar
I don't know, I've never tried. But I'm pretty sure it can work with an ABS, it just depends on how it is coded.
