Summary
I need a script that makes actor 1 a "Dummy Actor". Basicly a Dummy Actor is an actor that does not take up space in your party, does not fight, does not gain experience/level up, all they do is walk around on the map rather then the accual actor being used as your 1st actor.

Features Desired
•Only Actor 1 is a Dummy Actor
Dummy Actors don't fight
Dummy Actors don't accualy join your party
Dummy Actors don't use stats
•If every party member dies except for the Dummy Actor the game will still go to Game Over
•Name change must be possible
•Everything else mentioned in the summary + any features you want to add

Mockups
Actor 1's (Dummy Actor's) graphics must be the ones shown on the map, and the Dummy Actor's graphics must be changable through event. (just like normal actors)

Games its been in
•Pokemon
•(Highly Likely)Etc.

What other scripts are you using?
•Kaduki Takentai Sideview Battle System
•One of modern algebra's simple CMS scripts (the one that has 4 boxes for your actors)
•I'm looking for a catepillar script that works...

Zeriab's Caterpillar script lets you do that (have just events follow you around), it that's what I'm understanding you're wanting?

Nah, I think he just wants to have a party that doesn't include the on-map character.

Very easy, I'll do it in a minute.

EDIT::
Done - http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,42068.0.html

It uses a variable to control, rather than restricting it to just the first actor. That way, if you ever find the need, you can change which actor it refers to in-game. To fill your function though, all you will need to do is set that variable to 1 in a parallel process immediately once the game starts.

Also, as for the Caterpillar, there is probably no way it will work with it right away - you will need to make some modifications so that the lead actor in the party will be a follower. Every Caterpillar script I know anticipates that the lead actor is the player and so doesn't account for this scenario.

Thanks a lot! It wasn't even a little bit important that I got a caterpillar script I just thought it would look cool and make people think my game ideas haven't been done before...i didn't even expect that this would be dine already so I was about to copy it to RPg RPG Revolution but now I don't have to becuase ur awesome!  :epic:
