My goal: a party system with several locked slots, in which players can (via certain events) switch which characters are in those locked slots. I think I'm one step away from a solution, but I'm open to alternatives if this method is too awkward. I threw together a script that prevents players from using the Formation menu to change the first two slots. I can post it if it's relevant.
I have an event that lets the player select a party member, and I'd like that person to be swapped into the second (otherwise locked) slot. Based on other scripts I think this is the command, but I don't know how to finish it:
$game_party.swap(1, x)The event uses "Show Choices: \P[1], \P[2], \P[3]" - hence I'd like x to be whichever character is in a given slot.
I'm not using any major party scripts. I'm fine with them, if there's one that can do this easily, but I hope I'm just one step anyway and that more experienced users will know the variable for actor id in a given slot.
All characters are optional, by the way, so I don't want to just have a list of all of them. If there's an easy way to make a list with only the actors who have joined the party, that would also be an easy solution.
