help! adjusting party size by script call

[Tobiasu]

hello everyone!

I know how to adjust the party size

in script editor

by editing this in Game_Party

def max_battle_members

    return 4 - changing 4 to 3 or how many do you like

  end

 

but I want to know how to change that using a script call

is it possible?

 

I just want to reduce the party size to 3 temporarily then return to 4 again later

 

thanks in advance

you need a script that rewrites that sequence to check a variable instead of automatically returning 4.

something like

def max_battle_members return $game_variables[999]end(untested, but should work - replace the 999 with the number of the variable that you want to use)It's untested, but it shoould work - you just have to set that variable to 4 at the beginning of your game, and then change it to whatever number you want whenever you want

I think archeia has a script snippet that changes party size with a switch. I'm not sure if you can use it without buying the Luna Engine pack though.

thanks for the help guys!

I decide to use the option above and it works

the only problem is the walking members was still 4 even I changed the party size to 3

but in battle, the actors are only 3 and that's exactly what I want.

the only way to make them 3 walking members is to remove and add the members again.

solved!

Just try a $game_player.refresh call in a script after changing the number of followers.
