HELP on reducing the space between followers...

[Magusalfador]

Hi all!! I need some help or guidance, I want to reduce the space between the follower`s sprite. Since Im making my sprites half the normal size, there is much space wasted between them, is there a way I can edit this on the JS file?

Thanks!!

On map? That would require custom grid. Or do you mean in battle?

not likely because they're aligned with the map grid.
each follower is a character sprite, and each sprite is moved to a specific XY coordinate.
in the case of followers, they're moved to their leader's position, plus or minus their relative distance, in grid squares.

what you could do is make your own function for calculating the distance, and override the character's call to the original map function.
from there, you could force the distance to be absolute and not based on the distance to the leader's position.

Are you just making the sprites half size, or all the tiles as well? If you're making EVERYTHING half size, you can use the Change Tile Size plugin that comes with the engine.

Hi @Shaz , just the party sprites, everything else stays the same.

then you can't change that unless you try to get a plugin for follower distance. And such a plugin has been requested multiple times without any luck, because it is not easy to write.

the distance of the followers is based on the grid by default. if you change the grid, it changes everything (requiring new tilesets etc), so if you don't want that you would have to reprogram the entire way the followers are handled.
