Using the Side-View Battle graphics script by Fomar0153, it's possible to get sprites of the player to show up during battle. I've messed around with this for my first game (which I'll release this Friday) and made it so headshots of the actors appear along the bottom of the battle screen; just over the command box.


But I want to take it a step further... But I also don't know how...


At one point in the game, the actor graphic changes. So I was wondering if it's possible to make it so the battler graphics that appear are graphic-specific rather than actor-specific. In other words, the player battler graphic in battle is different depending on what they look like.


So I'm wondering what I need to adjust/change/add in the original script to get this to work.


Here is the script for reference:

end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def create_actors
@actor_sprites = $game_party.battle_members.reverse.collect do |actor|
Sprite_Battler.new(@viewport1, actor)
end
end
end


Anyone have any ideas?
