I am using Yanfly Party System, and in order to lock an actor I need to do a script call, but I am not sure how to do this.

That's where you input whatever the call is.

I tried it, but when I try lock_actor(1) it doesn't work, and when I try lock_actor(Zayber) I get an error saying 'Game_Interpreter' line 1411: NameError occurred

uninitialized constant game_interpreter::Zayber

Which script are you using?

Hrm .. Well, the requirement for the call is that the new party menu must be enabled. So, I guess the first step is to check that it is.

It is. I made sure by deleting the script, and when the script is inserted it changes the formation menu.

I believe it's lock_actor(actor_id) so you need to find the actor_id of the person you want to lock, not the party member position.

how do I find the ID?

It's the number in front of their name in the Actors section of the database (the list on the left).

It still didn't work. I used lock_actor(001).

You have to use lock_actor(1) wich is refering to the first actor in your database. If nothings happens when you use this, you're missing another option or something isn't working as expected.

Did you configure any other options? If yes, wich options and how you configured them?
How many actors are in your database?

If you answer that questions i may be able to reproduce your error and see what's happening... or you can upload a demo of you problem so i can take a look.

I have 12 actors in my database. The only two things I changed in the script is the max party to 4 and I turned display faces on.

Instead of lock_actor(name) use lock_actor(1) or (2) or whatever the ID of your characters is. For instance, if you want your main character, which is Actor 1 to be locked, do lock_actor(1), instead of (001)

I've tried that. I did that before trying the others. None of it seems to work for some reason... Is there another Engine I need with this one besides the core engine?

[Solomon]

Yanfly Core Engine and Yanfly Party Commands should do it. Perhaps the Yanfly Menu system as well.

It still didn't work. O_o

Ok, i did a little research and found that lock_actor(x) has a bug in the released version, but a comment posted on Yanfly's blog fixed that.

Here's how to do it. Edit line 392 and 402 from:

return unless $game_party.battle_members.include?(actor.id)

to this:

return unless $game_party.battle_members.include?(actor)

And it'll work.

Thank you! It worked.
