Character switching mechanic?

[winterdemon]

How would I go about making a player character switching mechanic?
I've been thinking about making a game which involves multiple main characters, each with different abilities.
I want to implement a mechanic that's sort of like an on-the-fly character switch on the map, allowing the player to take control of a different character or cycle between characters at the press of a button.

Is there any way this can be evented, or are there any plugins out there that do just that?
I'm still an absolute newbie at this, so I don't really have any scripting knowledge...

Make a parallel common event that is turned on by a switch. Turn this switch on at the beginning of the game. In the event use a conditional branch to check if a button is pressed. If so then use the remove party member command and then add the party member you’d like to switch too.

You can use yanfly’s button common events plugin to make this easier.

Thanks! I didn't think of doing this.

If the characters are already in your party and you just want to switch party leaders, there’s an option for that too. Using the other method will remove the character from the party entirely.
