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?

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.
