So, I'm trying to make this game where you can change the color of the character. Unfortunately, the JS script call code that I wrote gives me an error and I cannot figure out why this does not work.

var faceName = 'M_Hero_Faces_' + $gameVariables.value(19); \\variable 19 is the group name for the file.
var walkName = 'M_Walk_' + $gameVariables.value(19);
var battleName = 'M_'+$gameVariables.value(15)+'_'+$gameVariables.value(17)+'_'+gameVariables.value(16)+'_'+$gameVariables.value(18);

\\variable 15 is the hair color, 17, the clothing color, 16 the eye color, and 18, the skin color

$gameActors.actor(1).setCharacterImage(faceName, $gameVariables.value(14));
$gameActors.actor(1).setFaceImage(walkName, $gameVariables.value(14));
$gameActors.actor(1).setBattlerImage(battleName);
$gamePlayer.refresh();
I have been at this for over a month now and I still cannot figure this out no matter how much I google. It's really frustrating. There's an alternate method by using conditional branches, but there is roughly 5,000 different color combinations for the player character and I don't want to keep using conditional branches for every variation. I thought by using variables and loading the filename that I set with the variable number would work. Is there an oversight that I'm missing, or do I have to use a plugin for this?

RMMV
Two things to say.
1. Comments are not \\, but //
2. It would be nice if you'd share the console output to say what error it exactly is. It's nice that it gives you an error, but there are myriads of errors one can receive.

Thanks for the comment lines, but those are actually not in the code. I just put them there for your convenience. But this pops up.

Actually problem solved! I forgot the $ on one of the gameVariables.value()! It's all good now!

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
