ZENITH + CATEPILLAR

[Vampire01]

I have a problem (dont we all?). I'm currently using the Zenith Tactical Battle System. In addition I have the catepillar party system enabled. I need a way to get them to work together. The catepillar makes party members follow the leader in a row. Ok so this generates the said problem. Of course those two scripts will collide with eachother since you cant make party members run after the cursor in tactical mode.

I'm not a scripter, so I dont know how to resolve this bug. I'd really love to use both of these magnificient scripts. Here's the error message it poses and then crashes. This happens when a battle is starting (transferring player to a [T] area)

I'll provide some screenshots to elaborate. Here is the error script line.

I hope this helps. There must be a way to disable the catepillar for the duration of battle or something like that. Please help me

So I take that as in no one wants to help me out.

That's ok I guess, then.

Isnt there something like when you go in an battle a switch for example $scene = Scene_Catarpillar FALSE or something?

 

[Vampire01]

Nope, doesn't work. Tried it every way I know.

Thanks for the efford, though.

You need to turn on variable 20 to switch off the train_actor script and then turn off switch 20 to turn it back on.

Could you elaborate?
How do I turn on a variable? Set the variable numbered 20 to 20? I feel like an idiot right now.

No problem. (I meant switches not variables, sorry)

Create a new event and bring up the three page menu, on page one click the control switches tab and click the arrow to open up the list of switches.

Choose number 20 and name it Train on/off (it doesn't need to be called this) and then click OK, it is ON by default. Then to turn Train_Actor (caterpillar) back on just make another event and choose switch 20 again but this time check the OFF dot.

Is this done right? I also tried it with the switch turned off. In both cases it crashed with the same error message as in my first post.

The problem could lie elsewhere. Maybe it does turn the script off, but only visually (as it suggests, read: 'TRANSPARENT'?). I think the real deal here is to switch the complete script off somehow, to make it stop spawning other party member character sprites to follow your leader, because in the battle system the center of the screen (normally where the protagonist is) is replaced with a cursor, and can be freely moved. It is turn based. This is only my theory though. Please shed some light in my misery if you know what's causing this

PS: Thanks a lot for trying to help me. I'm not a beginner though I just dont know jack s*** about scripting and it is truly eating my brain away!
