Choose your team?

[DemonBlooded]

I had an idea where each of the main characters have a team with them. So say Chara 1 has team of A, B, C, and D then Chara 2 has E, F, G and H. These teams are used in battle and upon each battle start(OR another means of switching them out) you can choose which team you want to use of the main characters.

Is that at all possible? And if not what would be a good way to do a similar idea?

One of the main problems I can think of is keeping the teams EXP and LV the same throughout

I don't remember ever playing any RPG Game which let me select Customized Teams for later use. Most Games do this by rather letting you "Keep aside" some characters in a Temporary Roster or Inn or whatever you would like to call it. You pick Heroes from this Roster and then add them to your Squad.

Your Current Squad would be your Team. I believe there are Plugins to do this, Try searching with the Keywords - "Party Plugin". You are sure to come up with a few Plugins. Here is one i could find but its a Paid Plugin : Link

I don't think EXP would be a problem. There are ways to get around it, You could add Items that Boost Character's EXP, "An EXP Vial" for example or find a way to let all the Actors gain EXP (Even ones that are on Stand-by in the Roster).

Do you mean like how SaGa Frontier works? Yeah its certainly possible, but you'll need a plugin that probably doesn't exist yet.

http://himeworks.com/2016/02/party-manager-mv/ allows for multiple parties. But to my knowledge it only allows you to switch parties on the map. So you could setup a multiple choice option for what party to use before initiating a battle.

Cant you just use events that would remove every Actor, then add the 4 you want?

I agree with the above. If the "extras" are not party members, just keep track of who IS in your party, give the option for the player to choose one, remove all party members but that one, add the corresponding extras, then swap them back again after the battle.

If you are using random enemies you will need a plugin to prompt the player to choose and to do the swapping. Otherwise you should be able to do everything using common events.
