Unremovable members?

[Dommer4kill]

Is it possible to make a party member not removable from the party? Because it would seem a bit redundant for the hero of the story not leading.

Can be done using e.g. Yanfly's Party System script, found here: https://github.com/Archeia/YEARepo/blob/master/Menu/Party_System.rb

Is there any simple way to do it?

Not without a script, as far as I know.

You could disable formation changes - there's a button for that. But that would stop you swapping the order of ANY of your characters around, not just the main one / leader.


Also, just because they can be swapped, doesn't mean they're "removed" from the party. They're still there - just not the leader. You don't HAVE to have the main character as the leader, and players often like being able to switch out the leader to their favourite character. They're still in the party, and if you have followers turned on and less than 5 party members, you can still see them.


Other than that - if you want to change what you can/can't do with a single character while leaving the rest flexible, the only solution is script mods. You don't HAVE to go to the extent of installing a whole party system just to stop the first character being swapped though - if that's all you're after, say so and we can give you a much smaller, easier to use script.

I'm fine with order changing. I only need one person unremovable is all.

The player can never remove an actor - to remove an actor, it needs an event with the command to remove that actor from the party, and if you don't make such an event, then the actor will never leave the party.
The only thing that the player can do is in the case of more actors than the active/battle group allows, the formation screen can move the actor between the reserve and the fighting group - but it cannot remove the actor from the party, and reserve party is still party where the engine is concerned.


And if you have only a small group of actors (no reserve), even that is impossible.

I understand that, but by "remove from the party" I meant the party as in the 4 actors that you're currently using. So, is it possible to make one of those actors locked in the 4 actors currently in use so that they can't be swapped out?

 

[Kes]

As was said above, the only way to do this is by script.  The one I linked to is very easy to use, and will lock the actor in the party with one tiny configuration.

 

[Shaz]

You don't really need a whole party system script just to lock one actor in place.


Do you want to make it impossible to swap them at all, or allow them to be swapped, as long as they're still in the first 4? (hint - the first option would be easier to achieve).


What's the actor id of the one you want to keep in the battle party?

Well since you say the first one is easier I'll go with that. 

So how do I view an actor's ID? (I feel stupid for asking this)

It's their number in the database

[Edit] I tried making a script for just that myself, but the confirm sound just keeps going at the same time as the buzzer... Anyone knws how to "disable" the first party member?

class Scene_Menu < Scene_MenuBase  def on_formation_ok    if @status_window.index >=1      if @status_window.pending_index >= 1        $game_party.swap_order(@status_window.index,                               @status_window.pending_index)        @status_window.pending_index = -1        @status_window.redraw_item(@status_window.index)      else        @status_window.pending_index = @status_window.index      end    else        Sound.play_buzzer    end    @status_window.activate  endend

Which parts of the script would i have to copy/paste? And could you give an example? No matter what I do, the game won't start up

@HellFire Revenant, please refrain from necro-posting in a thread. Necro-posting is posting in a thread that has not had posting activity in over 30 days. You can review our forum rules here. Thank you.


Make a new topic for your problem, but basically you cannot copy only parts of a script, you always need the entire script unless you know enough of programming to rewrite it.


I suggest you follow the link "how to use a script" in my signature.
