Hey all,
Hey all. The crux of the way enemies are engaged/ battles are initiated in the game I'm creating is just like they are in certain parts of the game Final Fantasy VI- namely, the parts where you create 3 or more parties, push a button to cycle through them, and place them on a map to intercept enemies. This is one such scene:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_PzVt7AMxYModern's Algebra's script seems like a perfect fit for what I'm attempting to do, but unfortunately it isn't compatible with RMXP, the engine I'm using. Furthermore, after much searching, there doesn't seem to be any analog script out there for XP =/
Would anyone be willing to change M.A.'s script (below) such that it can be used with RMXP? I'd really like all battles in my game to be initiated this way, and so this would be a huge boon to my project.
Thanks in advance!
Modern Algebra's Multiple Party Script:
#
# 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
#
# Assuming that $game_parties[1] did not previously exist, this event just
# switched your party to the party with index 1, and 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.
