Multiparties script

I ported this multiparties script from VX to XP, can do things like FFVI, but also saving gold,
items,etc.

Code: text [Select]

#    Ported to Xp: gerkrt,gerrtunk
#   Created: modern algebra
#   Idea to port: TheRealDeal
#    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.

Test this code well and tell me if anything is wrong.

Looks good gekrt! Nice stuff

I think you can remove the part in the merge method that refers to the Quest Log, because it's a script for VX O.o

Made a small fix for the script on the Chaos-project topic, reposting it here.

#  Version: 1.0b

#
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#  Description:
#    This script allows you to maintain multiple parties (separate item lists, steps,
#    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
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#  Instructions:
#    Place this script under ? Materials 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
#      p = $game_parties.merge(id1,id2) :merges two parties and saves them in p
#      $game_parties.merge! (id1, id2)  :merges two parties and saves them in
#                                       :$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

#    switched your party to the party with index 1, and if you looked at your

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

ChangeLog:

- Fixed Merge definition,
- Changed the format of the instructions to match the original,
- Added Links to both Versions (VX and XP),
- Deleted QuestLog part as that questlog was for RMVX.

this is a noob question (and I guess I'm still kind of a noob), i would have asked in the stickied how to section, but it's locked, and this is a script i would really like to use.  I'm trying to paste it into it's own/new script (as I've done in the past) but when i paste, it puts it all on one line. It coudl just be an error on my end, something in rmxp, because I know it's worked before. I've tried selecting the code using the select button and selecting it all manually, not really sure what the problem is. Thanks for your help and makin this script

~~ Sorry about this (I think it's my computers incompatability with the code entry boxes on the forum, it isn't recognizing the lines as seperate (no return/enter key strokes) but I went in, following what i could see to make line breaks where your code shows, now to test, sorry for being a pest. .... ... it was no jest (.... hehe sorry)

sweet! got it working, thanks this is exactly what i was looking for

I know I'm kinda necroposting, but what would the script call be if I wanted to push the R button to scroll into another party and the L button to scroll back, say in a party changer.
