(Rpg maker MV) Can not get followers to act in battle, just skips their turn in battle.

[Phairox]

While in game I have added followers and can not get them to act in battle. However, if I add them before the of start of game all works fine. I have tried initialize and not initialize but makes no difference. Any ideas?

all followers are actors, so if an actor cannot act in game it either depends on the data or how it was added.
Please provide screenshots (database page) of at least one actor that has this problem, and screenshots of the events or where you add them to the party.
Additionally, please provide screenshots of your plugin manager with all plugins and there order, because plugins can mess up the engine if used or configured in a wrong way.

Do you SEE your actors in battle? Either their images in the sideview battle, or their names in the battle status window? In the main menu, do you see them on the first page or do you have to page down to see them?

If you're seeing just the leader and nobody else unless you page down, it means you've added them incorrectly. You had 4 actors but did not want them all in your party, so you deleted them from the Actors tab, then you added new actors below those. Those "blank" actors are still in your party. The System tab is where you select who is in your starting party.

If you had it set up with "blank" actors in your starting party, started a game and saved it, those "blank" actors will always be there in that save file. Changes you make in the Actors tab will not affect that save file.

So if you make any changes to the Actors tab, or to the starting party in the System tab, then yes, you have to start a new game to see those changes.

@Shaz if they deleted actors to create those invisible references, then adding new actors would fill the previously deleted references first.
Only if they cleared the data for actor ID 2 to 4 without deleting them, and then add the new actors as ID 5 following, only then those invisible actors could be between them.
And in that case adding the new actors before the game start would show entries without names in the database system tab as well.

That's why I skipped that possibility as very unlikely and went to the other options directly. Either the actors were defined wrong (missing pictures), they were added in the wrong way or most likely a plugin problem.

I also started a new game and moved my game files to it. It solved the problem. I am just not sure what caused my problem from the start.

Sorry about the posting the forums in the wrong place. I am still trying to figure out the website.

I figured out that all my stats were change to not being able to not move. I do not have a clue how it happened but that was my issues. Thanks for the response.

wrong.
if you had to move any files, then you didn't start a new game, but started a new project.
I was not writing about the button "new project" in the editor, I was writing about the button "new game" on the title screen of a playtest, you know the screen that lists "new game", "continue" and "options"?

That is a very important difference because there are several actions that make older savefiles incompatible and causing similiar errors if you try to continue one of those incompatible saves.

EDIT:
And your plugin order is wrong, that will also cause errors. please resort your plugins to the order given on yanfly's website.
