Party Help

I've been trying to make it so all 4 party members when walking around, their sprites show up instead of the first person on the list. Everything I've tried so far hasn't worked, or I'm doing it wrong.

Just wondering what commands/scripts I may need for this to work

Thanks in advance, and don't flame, I'm just really confused

Caterpillar Script, Scripts Database

EDIT: The Scripts Database seems to have been cleaned out. O_o

So any ideas how to solve this?
I don't think it is anything too hard, well I messed up, but I'm still learning. Basically all I want is for when your walking around on the screen it looks like this

X=Party Leader (aka character in first slot)
Party Member In Slot 2
Party Member In Slot 3
Party Member In Slot 4

So with that, this is what I would want. Just picture them walking to the right

XXXX

well i suppose you could make a common parallel process going like:

if button X is pushed then
-if member X is in the party then
--turn memberX switch on
-else
--turn memberX switch off (simply because this way you won't have to mass around with turning switches off)
(and then you do that for every hero you will have in the party)
after you are done with that you do:
-remove party member: X
-remove party member: every other party member that could be in there for the entire game
and then you get a message
-message: choose the leader:
loop
-if memberX is on then
--would you like member X to lead the party?
--show choices: yes,no
--upon yes:
---add party member X
---memberX switch = off
---end loop
--upon no:
---(nothing)
-if all the other member switch  = on then
--same for every other member
repeat

if member X switch = on then
-change party: + member X
if all the other member switches = on then
-change party: + any other member

hmm that should do the trick, if you face any problems tell me
the cata script work alot better no doubt though, cause it doesn't require any work

Thats the code(I think)

See if that works!

woot where did you find it? ~_~
back to script db it should go

I haven't done any wokr with scripts yet :oops:
Where exactly in the database would I put that?

Also I have a quick question, I have a AI give you 4 Hi-Potions near the start before crossing a field incase you pretty much die, problem is everytime you talk to him you get the amount, basically you could get unlimited by talking to him constantly. How do I stop that, I'm guessing another event command?

Also when I receieve the items, it doesn't show, but I think I have to use a Message command for that. I'm not 100% sure but I'll play around with that problem till someones responds

that should answer the first:
http://www.crankeye.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4362

(lol i actually made it with the cata script  :^^: )

stopping that guy is easy, your event needs to look like

if switch donepots is off then
-message: person X: hello there ,here are your potions
-change items: potion + 4
-message: *obtained 4 potions*
-switch donepots = on
else
-message: person X: omg you again? i gave you the potions already

Use a variable or a Switch.

After he gives you the potions have it turn on the switch (or add a number to the variable). Make a new page in that event and make the requirement that the previously metioned switch be on (or variable be a certain number). Then put somthing new for him to say or whatever you want to happen when you talk to him.

(note: This is the only time I will ever explain switches or variables to anyone.)

I got the script working, no problems with that now.

But I'm screwing up with the switch/variable. This is what I have so far.

*Sigh*

The thing with me is once you show me once and I understand, I won't ever ask again, and I bet I'm just not doing something right that is really easy :O_o:
