How to make the main actor non combat in MV

[Vincent Chu]

Sorry if this has been dealt with already but I'm awful at searching.
How can I set it so that your one starting character is forbidden from fighting but is the main party leader all the time like in Pokemon (except I'm not making a Pokemon clone game). Note that I want to be able to have the other party members fight though.
I can imagine removing the main actor from the party before the evented battles and adding him back in but then that would reduce the party to only three instead of four and I'd prefer to have 4 people battle. Can someone point me to a plugin or tutorial/help page that can do this?

Edit: Oops, I think I posted this in the wrong thread. Sorry, please can a mod move this to MV support?

@Vincent Chu you need to report something if you want a moderator action, not every post is checked by a mod.

You can use Hime's Custom Party Leader plugin to get what you need.

@Vincent Chu As Andar said, it's easiest if you just report your post if you need it moved. A mod will be sure to see it then.

Since this can't be done with the default MV, moving to Plugin Requests.

Forgive me if I'm missing the point, but couldn't you just make all of the potential party members in the game have the non-combat actor's walking sprite, so that it looks like the same person no matter who is the party leader? Unless you want them to visibly follow you around or have their walking sprite show up in menus, that should do the trick. You'd basically treat them like the "main character" outside of battle, even though party-wise that character isn't actually on the team.

Thanks for the replies.
