Actor-Specific Common Event Help?

[coticka]

Simple idea at first glance. Use a consumable item on a party member through "Show Choices" since you can't specify a conditional branch through item use alone. They learn the skill. But, through the use of a conditional branch, If the skill exists then the item is returned and the common event is cancelled. I got all that done.
What I need help with/don't understand how to do is set up a "Show Choices" where an actor's name would only show up if they're in the party. The only way I can think of is using an individual conditional branch for all the possible combinations of the 7 different actors currently in the party and each one having it's own "Show Choices" event. There has to be an easier way, right?

Two possible solutions, one would be to use the Party index instead of the actor ID with text codes.

The better solution however is to skip the show choice completely.

Make an invisible target state. In the effects of the item, apply that state to the user.
In the common event, check all actors by conditional branch only if they have the state or not.
If yes, apply the effects done in the common event and remove the state.

No need for a choice to make the targeting that way.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Okay, I got it. I was having an issue where it cycled through all the prompts, but then I remembered I needed to remove the state after each action. Now it's working as intended. Thanks for the help!~
