Actor Event Sprites

Plugin Name: Actor Event Sprites

Author: FenrirKnight

License: Free for commercial and non-commercial use, and free to be edited.

Description: Adds options to have events look like actors with comment tags. Can also change the face shown for message boxes to be that

of an actor(or party member). And can change events to look like actors during a conversation.

The reason I made this, despite there being at least one other plugin already of its kind, is because I found that one to be a tad limiting.

It didn't allow me to change the faces for messages dynamically, for example.

Yes, but when your party is not fixed, then you have to make dozens of nested conditions just to check wich character are in the party just to display a simple message with the correct face.

or just multible event pages that only show up when said actor is in or not in party

Exactly. Now do this when you have 20 possible party members and suddenly all event where a member will talk you have at last 20 pages.

I have another case where it's relevant: the character's sprite changes and you want their sprite to remain consistent in cutscenes without fiddling with multiple pages for each and every one.

I already did something like that in my own game, except there I rig it to show the correct sprite for the character no matter what just by naming the event "##CHARACTERNAME##" (with the character's name in place of "CHARACTERNAME", of course). Unless the event is hidden, it automatically looks like the actor's current graphic no matter what. (I haven't bothered to share this plugin because the character names are hardcoded - I don't like trying to remember which one is "Actor 17" when I can avoid it - and I'm not in the mood to genericize it.)

But to keep the face graphics consistent, I just do it with Yanfly's Message Core (or, rather, a plugin that hardcodes character names but shows the face graphic through Yanfly's Message Core, per previous complaint about remembering ID numbers). My own game has little need for events that can look like any arbitrary party member.
