Level up friendship to join party?

[alltheyuriz]

I was wondering if there was away to have someone level up friendship with another character to gain them as a party memeber like through quests or something?

of course!
To do that, I would look into the engine's "variables". The engine has variables that can be defined/changed/checked through event commands. You can increase a variable by 1 each time the player completes a certain quest or a certain battle. Then, on another event (maybe when talking to the recruitable character), we can check if the variable is equal or higher to a certain minimum affinity value

Maybe what I am saying is too confusing... Don't hesitate to ask if you have any doubt!

Okay I would have to see that written out and would I make that a common event?

actually its much simpler

have the person event have multiple pages (minimum two) that are conditioned to a variable "friendship with X". The first page(s) are responses when the friendship is low, the last page is conditioned to a higher friendship value and offers jouning the party.

then have different quests and situations throughout the game rise or detract from the friendship variable.

I have a quest Journal from Galv but i don't know how to work that into this

You don't.

You just +1 to the variable every time you do something that's going to increase the friendship.

That's what's confusing me how it would be set up

 

[Andar]

you have events where you do something in your game.
you decide which events will add to the friendship, and then add a control variable command to increase it into the event code of whatever else is going on with those events

Explain your idea. What do you have to do to build the relationship?

As an example ...

Page 1 of NPC - no conditions. NPC asks you to go get something for them. Turn on self switch A.
Page 2 of NPC - conditioned by self switch A. NPC asks if you have the item. If you have it, you give it to them (by removing the item from inventory). Variable = 1. NPC asks you to deliver something to someone else.
Page 3 of NPC - conditioned by variable >= 1. NPC asks if you've delivered it. If you have (turn on a switch on the event/NPC you deliver it to, then check here if the switch is on), Variable = 2.

And so on.

On the final page that has +1, have them join your party, then turn on one more self switch, and add a new page conditioned by that self switch with no image and no commands.

You do not need to use a plugin for this. You can put the tasks in your quest journal, but only for the purpose of logging them. Don't try and use the quest journal to make events behave differently. It's overcomplicating it.

Okay and the journal is to show if it's been cleared is all

that's right - it's just a list to see in the menu.

When you are replying to someone, you can just @ tag them. You don't have to quote their post. Tagging - like this @alltheyuriz - will send them a notification that you've replied.
