    # Additional Instructions for 1.5 version:
    # if you want to add party members, just add the same way how Team 1
    # and Team 2 are constructed.
    # If you want a specific formation, you can alter them. For example:
    # Team3 = [6, 3, 2, 1, 4]
    # this would bring you the formation Actor6, Actor 3, Actor 2, Actor 1
    # and Actor 4 specifically.
    # --------------------------------------------------------------------- #
   
    Team1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] #=> Team 1 are Actors 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
    Team2 = [6, 7, 8] #=> Team 2 are Actors 6, 7 and 8

Looks like another useful one! Man, I'm trying to keep up but I just can't xD I finish one about once every three days!

Ahhh, so this would save their positions in the formation, right?

One of my biggest qualms has always been to remove the party for whatever reason, put them back, and then annoy the player when they have to set up their formation again.

[SoulPour777]

Yes. Because it would be a hell of an event it would be just to check who were the characters in your party right before you were going to the cutscene and return them back after the cutscene. Not only it saves the characters but their orders when you removed them

[yuyu!]

That's awesome! Thanks for making this!

Added a new feature called Add Specific Raids and Persist Specific Raids.

Add Specific Raids allow you to change all your party members to a Team located on the Raids module and removes your current actors.
