A year and a half later this script is still tremendously useful. Though it does have a bug. If you select a character for moving then press cancel, the leader's pic lights back up and no longer plays the buzzer sound. It can easily be fixed by replacing the "Formation [Cancel]" section in this script with this:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Formation [Cancel] #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- alias refresh_status_window on_formation_cancel def on_formation_cancel if @status_window.pending_index >= 0 @status_window.pending_index = -1 @status_window.activate else refresh_status_window @status_window.refresh $formation_command = false end end So now the surrounding code should appear like this:

    else      @status_window.activate    end  end  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  # * Formation [Cancel]  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  alias refresh_status_window on_formation_cancel  def on_formation_cancel    if @status_window.pending_index >= 0      @status_window.pending_index = -1      @status_window.activate    else      refresh_status_window      @status_window.refresh      $formation_command = false    end  endend#==============================================================================# ** Window_MenuStatus#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#  This window displays party member status on the menu screen.#==============================================================================
