Need a little help with ScriptCalls and Party members

[Nerdpago]

Hello, so i want to know if exist a script call that allow to identify if a specified party member is on a especified region
For example, if the second party member is on region id 60 , change his image
OR if if the second party member is on a especified map region "X and Y" change his image

Could be a plugin too...if someone need more details just let me know

Pls help me guys

Hi!
With this you can check in a conditional branch, each region your party members will be:


◆If：Script：$gamePlayer._followers.follower(0).regionId() == 1
◆
：End

Follower 0 is the second actor in your menu status.
Now, we need to figure out how we can change the image of the follower (which is the second actor in the menu)

Now, we need to figure out how we can change the image of the follower (which is the second actor in the menu)

Just get its actor ID (for example by control variable) and then use change actor grafic on it.

However, the biggest problem is something else @Nerdpago
Checking and changing every actor and follower picture on the fly is NOT neglectable work, it has a high chance of creating a lot of lag.
This counts especially if it is done by parallel process.

So can you tell us for what you want that info and how you plan to use it?
Because without that info any general answer has a high chance of breaking or lagging your game.

Have no idea how to do this.
I mean, i think we need to check the follower, than check which actor id belong to this follower, then change his image.
But in the codes, i dont know.

I have tried this, but not work.

$gameParty.members()[0].setCharacterImage(Monster, 1);

$gameParty.members()[0]._actorId.setCharacterImage('Monster', 1);

$gamePlayer._followers.follower(0).setCharacterImage('Monster', 1);

But i get to this:
◆If：Script：$gamePlayer._followers.follower(0).regionId() == 1
◆Control Variables：#0020 = Actor ID of the party member #2
◆Script：$gameActors.actor($gameVariables.value(20)).setCharacterImage("Monster", 1);
： ：$gamePlayer.refresh();
◆
：End

[EDIT] It worked! I do a mistake with the trigger event xD
but worked!

◆Script：$gameActors.actor($gameVariables.value(20)).setCharacterImage("Monster", 1);
： ：$gamePlayer.refresh();
But dont work either.

why use a script here - that is what the event command change actor graphics should do automatically

Thank you so much guys, especialy @Eliaquim , it worked FINE and no Lag detected !
Just more one question, can i use a script call to detect if the especified follower is moving ?
it would be perfect if i can use a condition like that
its like "If : second follower is on region ID "X" and If: second follower is "Idle"

Followers only move when the party as a complete one moves.
Sometimes it might look as if they aren't moving if the main player had been moving back and forth, but to the engine itself that still counts as moving.
you would have to implement an entirely new check as to how position changes, and that would really be problematic for lag due to how many checks it would need compared to how often that really happens.

Not sure about the follower. But, the follower only moves if the player moves, right?
So if we put a condition that we use if the player moves, instead of follower?
That will help?

 

[Nerdpago]

Assuming I can move the followers independently from The player, yet I would not be able to, by some script call or even plug-in, detect if the specific follower is on the move? If not possible, I have no more questions, you guys already helped me a lot, thanks
