Nice script! I think you could include some notetags to change de whole party into 1 actor (Final Fantasy X Summon) 
Well done

That would be big more work cause it will need another way to swap whole party. I will try doing it when I have some free times.

This is a super cool plugin! I think it's an awesome plugin and makes for an AMAZING battle mechanic!


Thanks @Nechigawara, oh and welcome to the plugin community

Um... I have the Yanfly Party System but it still does that... Is there some sort of fix for it?


Edit: Also, I made a cool "swap" animation with this notetag!

Spoiler

<swap_to_actor: 21>


<target action>


hide battle hud


action animation


opacity not focus: 0, 20


wait for opacity


animation 155: user


opacity user: 0%, 5


wait for opacity


action effect


opacity user: 100%, 5


wait for opacity


</target action>


<follow action>


opacity not focus: 100%, 60


wait for opacity


show battle hud


</follow action>

Fixed in 0.2, also work without Yanfly Engine Plugins - Party System now


PS. What animation did you use for summoning? I like the sequence but can't find any animation that match. Thanks for sharing!!

Oh... I thought I had 0.2... oops. I guess I didnt...


I used a custom one I made, It was also specific to the summon (its a wing flap for a bird or a thunderbolt for a thunderspirit) and it works better with a couple waits here and there depending on the animation!

No, I just update to 2.0 after your bug report.

Oh, haha thanks 


It's a great system, and I made a really cool design for usage! Spiritstones (an armor type) which have the special trait of making it so you can transform into that specific thing while it is equipped, and it works PERFECTLY! Thanks so much!

0.2a is out. This version fixed Caster won't get exp if reserve exp is off.

 

[thehackeryacker]

How do I go about making the caster receive the exp.?

This problem should fix in 0.2a as state above.


Since I already add the caster list in the exp gain pool, and make them mark as battle members.


PS. If you're using Yanfly Engine Plugins - Victory Aftermath, it will show that the caster won't get any exp.


But in fact, they get the exp. I will update the compatible patch soon.


Edit:: 0.2b is out. This version add Yanfly Engine Plugins - Victory Aftermath support.

 

[thehackeryacker]

I am sorry, I started a new project with all the default database settings, added the summon skill. Guess it would make sense the actor got no exp. since the bat enemy was set to 0 exp. Thank you again, I had a set up like this with common events, in which the caster would return if the summon died, but putting the caster back in the party was a lot of redundant map p. processing, and I could not distribute the exp.  This can be used in so many ways, summoning, transform your character like J'eanne D'arc or BOF 3 and 4.

OoOoOoh... I LOVE this!! Unfortunately, I seem to be having some compatibility issues as it crashes right after the replacement Actor steps into the position. But I am following this thread, for sure!!

Which Plugin did you use with mine? May be I will try doing compatible patch for you.

 

[M.I.A.]

I am using SEVERAL plug in's.. maybe I could find a way to get a file to you so you could look through it? I mean, It's not necessary by any means. I like this plug in, and perhaps I could use it in a different project.

Then uplode your demo to me, I will try to look around.

I'm using this plugin right now but my only problem is the limitation of swapping/summoning, can I have unlimited use of skills to summon/swap a certain character? Thank you.

What limitation do you mean?
