Switch Party Leader

[AeghtyAteKees]

So I've found all these complex Party Management scripts floating around with millions of effects and customizations that redraw the menu and every other crazy thing you can imagine. But I just have three party members, not eight-hundred and seventeen, and need a way to switch out which one leads the party. Sweet and simple. If anyone knows where to find this or can whip it up, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Can be done with events

Well, yes. Is it possible to make it work from the menu?
