Time Trashers Script Help

So I am making the game Time Trashers, now I need two scripts.
1. A mercenary party member script were you pay to have them in your team (one time fee) then when they die they just leave the team.
2. May not need a script, I need it so that you start with zero MP then you equip a item and it brings it up a set amount.

Thanks for any help I can get.

1) I don't think you'll need a script for this one. But here's how to do this one without Script (If i do it right.) first check how many Mercenary you have in total. next go to a batle trigger (Or Event trigger in battle go to database in Troops.) Now go and click conditions and put if the Mercenary's health is 0. make him say something like "Screw it i'm outta here." Then on the next text put in "*Mercenary's name* has left the party. do this for each Mercenary on each troops (Hard but i know you can do it.)

2) There is a script for a Weapon/Armor HP/SP Plus v1.0 which should help you. go here:

If the Site doesn't work tell me and i'll replace it.

Hope this helps you.
