Multiple Parties
Version: 1.0b
Author: modern algebra
Date: April 2, 2008

Description


This script allows you to maintain multiple parties (separate item lists, step count, everything) and allows you to merge them at will. Primarily useful for a game where parties split up or a game where you can have separate parties

Features

  • Allows for many parties
  • Perfect if you want parties to be able to split up and not have access to all the same items and things
  • Allows for easy merging and deletion of parties

Screenshots

N/A for this script

Instructions

FROM SCRIPT:
Place this script below all of the default scripts in the Script Editor.
There are several codes to keep in mind:

   $game_parties[id]                                :accesses the party located in that index creates it if it does not yet exist.
   $game_parties[id] = X                          :Sets the party to X. It MUST be a Game_Party object
   party = $game_parties.merge(id1,id2) :merges two parties and saves them in party
   $game_parties.merge! (id1, id2)          :merges two parties and saves them in $game_parties[id1] and deletes $game_parties[id2]
   $game_parties.delete (id)                    :Deletes $game_parties[id]

In order to switch the current party, just do this:

   $game_party = $game_parties[id]
   $game_player.refresh

By default, the original party is saved in $game_parties[0], so you may want to avoid overwriting $game_parties[0] and just work with 1,2,...

Also, be very careful when dealing with parties. Always remember what parties exist and where they are in $game_parties or else you may make a stupid error occur.

    *EXAMPLE EVENT*

      @>Change Items: [Potion], + 1
      @>Change Gold: + 50
      @>Script: p = $game_parties[1]
       :      : $game_party = p
       :      : $game_player.refresh
      @>Change Party Member: Add [Oscar], Initialize
      @>Change Weapons: [Bastard Sword], +1
      @>Change Gold: + 100

This event just switched your party to the party with index 1, and, assuming that $game_parties[1] did not previously exist, if you looked at your menu you would see that Oscar is in the party, you have 100 Gold, and a Bastard Sword. The potion and the other 50 Gold went to the initial party

Now, let's say Oscar later meets up with his party and rejoins. Then this event would do the trick:

   @>Script: $game_parties.merge! (0, 1)
     :      : $game_party = $game_parties[0]
     :      : $game_player.refresh

And there, the two parties have been merged and everything that Oscar had obtained goes to the party.

Known Compatibility Issues

If you are using the Quest Journal, please copy the script above, rather than out of the demo, as the demo has an error that may cause the game to incorrectly merge the quests of the two parties.

Alright, demo is up. It probably looks complicated, but it's the eventing that is complicated, not the scripting.

Also, VX is annoying and doesn't give you the option of not fading when you transfer player, so you'll see some stupidness when you play the demo. I will write a script that allows you not to fade when you teleport perhaps.

No, it wouldn't work in XP as is. As for something similar - there's a script on phylomortis that allows for many item bags. It's not an entire party, but it might suit your purposes: And I would link but apparently phylomortis expired on March 29 :(



Alright, I found it on my computer, but there are no credits anywhere :(

Anyway, I attached it to this post.

although that's helpful, i was looking more on the lines of the multiple parties per se.

having about 3 groups in the same area, when you pressed a button, you changed from a party to another, and the other parties kept the same positions after changing to the other.

if you don't understand, try checking kefka's tower from ff3(6)

That sounds like my demo actually :P

Anyway, I can probably make one of these for RMXP - it'd be short. But it still takes some eventing to make it work. The primary purpose of the script is to not share inventory and gold with other parties. If that is necessary for your puzzle then I will translate the script. Otherwise, a script is not necessary.

:(

I made a mistake. I've fixed the script now, so don't worry about it if you're new to the script, but anybody who already has the script will need to recopy the script and replace the one they have right now. Though, you've probably noticed it if you've tried to save  :'(

looks great. you could like split parties to go two different ways in some woods or something and then thed meet back in the middle with new items. Think scooby doo where they all come together with new clues but not as lame :D.

btw theres a typo in the description section "and arrows you to merge"

Something else I tried that didn't work was the text command \n[\v[17]] that resulted in a Window_Message error at line 218. It probably happened because the two commands were never supposed to merge like that..ironic, huh?

Sorry, I missed your post. Just so that I understand the problem, are you saying that items are not saved? (I.E. if one party collects items and then you switch to another party and then switch back, the first party no longer has those items?) Or are you saying that the second party does not have the items the first party collected? If the latter, that is part of the purpose of the script. Also, you should not get any error from \n[\v[17]], unless \v[17] has a value larger than the number of actors you have set in the database


EDIT:

That being said, I sort of discovered that I had overlooked something because I am an idiot. Anyway, the script has been updated and fixed.

I'm actually having that odd problem too.  Mines really complex:

At the beginning of my game, I add 3 potions of two types, and a journal.  Now I can play through the game, and earn items, (for example on this test run I just earned 1 more of each type of potion, and some other new items).  Now it works just fine, but later on I switch to a new party and play with that party.  Works fine, the items don't show up for it, as the script intends.  Then I also switch to a 3rd party for a short custscene battle.  But when I switch back to my original party, and get ready to play with them again, here's the inventory:  3 potions of each type, and a journal!  So it didn't pick up the items I obtained while playing with them...

Is this an error you could pinpoint?

Edit:  Also I just noticed you updated your script.  Did this update fix this problem?

No, it did not. But are you re-initializing the party?

I am assuming your initial party is $game_parties[0], but are you switching back to that party or are you recreating it? You should not recreate it.

I think that's the problem. As far as I can tell, it is not an error in the script, as the demo does not have that problem. But, if you can't figure it out, then you can either upload your project to sendspace and PM it to me to take a look at, or, if you don't feel comfortable sharing your project at this stage you can try to recreate the problem in a new project and send that to me.

Your problem is weird though, since you add those items to your party at the start of the game., so it can't be that the party has been recreated. So, maybe: do you change to another party shortly after the beginning of the gamer - remember the array counts from 0, 1, 2 ..., not 1, 2, 3... So I am thinking maybe you made the error of believing that your second party has ID 2 instead of ID 1, so when you switch back to the initial party, you actually switch to a new party... Anyway, I won't know what the actual problem is unless I can see the project.

Well, the instructions and the demo seem pretty clear to me:

#      @>Script: p = $game_parties[1]
#       :      : $game_party = p
#       :      : $game_player.refresh

That's the script command that changes to a new party, and then if you want to add actors and things all you need to do is use regular event commands. Once an actor is in a party, you will not have to add him again every time though. So, if you run this event below:

#        *EXAMPLE EVENT*
#
#      @>Change Items: [Potion], + 1
#      @>Change Gold: + 50
#      @>Script: p = $game_parties[1]
#       :      : $game_party = p
#       :      : $game_player.refresh
#      @>Change Party Member: Add [Oscar], Initialize
#      @>Change Weapons: [Bastard Sword], +1
#      @>Change Gold: + 100

Then your second party has Oscar, a Bastard Sword, and 100 G. If you then run this code:

#      @>Script: p = $game_parties[0]
#       :      : $game_party = p
#       :      : $game_player.refresh

It will switch back to your first party, and if you then run this code:


#      @>Script: p = $game_parties[1]
#       :      : $game_party = p
#       :      : $game_player.refresh

It will change back to the second party, which would still have Oscar, a Bastard Sword, and 100G.

Merging is even easier:  $game_parties.merge (id_1, id_2).

Here though:

Code: [Select]
#==============================================================================
# ** Game_Interpreter
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#  Summary of Changes:
#    new method - change_party
#==============================================================================

class Game_Interpreter
  #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  # * Change Party
  #    party_id : The ID of the party to change to
  #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  def change_party (party_id = 0)
    $game_party = $game_parties[party_id]
    $game_player.refresh
  end
end

If you add this into the game, then you can use this command to change parties:

@>Script: change_party (new_party_id)
