Changing out party without changing sprite

[Trueroman]

I am new to VX Ace and have come across a problem while creating my game. I have set up a party switching system using events because I didn't want extra party members to simply be in formation but set as reserved characters for when you are in a area to switch. What I am trying to figure out is  how to set a character sprite to stay even when you switch players in and out of the party, but the sprite that is shown on screen is for a person who not considered in the party. The party characters are treated as followers, (not actually following behind) and the character respresented on the screen is the hiree. 

Anyone know of a soloution? Please let me know if you need further information.

If you don't use the followers walking behind the main actor, then simply give all actors the same sprte (of the general person you want to be seen on the screen).


Don't look for complex solutions if the simple one works...

Well from what I'm getting:

You want to switch party members, but you still want them to look like a certain person is in the party without actually being in the party. Did I get that right?

That is correct. But from what Andar pointed out it is a simple solution. I seriously over thought it.

Thanks for the help Andar and Uzuki.
