RMMZ Initialize actor when adding to the party with script calls

[Rixxus]

Hello!

I'm trying to find a way to force an actor to (re)initialize when adding them to the party.
In short, the player can tame monsters but once they die they are gone, and the player will need to catch another (with the same starting stats from the database).

It seems that it used to be possible to initialize from script calls when adding the actor to the party in older versions, as below.

Unfortunately, I cannot find anything about it for MZ. I'm hoping someone out there has some secret knowledge to help me.

This is the common event which adds the actor to the party.


And if it helps, this is the script that removes the actor/s from the party:


Any help is greatly appreciated!

$gameActors.actor(actorId).setup(actorId);

A good starting point is to look into Game_Interpreter, this tells you a lot

Soulrender just typed the method when I was typing xD

Thank you @Soulrender!
