Update battlers UI during a fight

[Chocco]

Hello there!

I'm currently trying to make a switch system that allows the player to switch active members during battles.
It's working fine using $gameParty.swapOrder(), but the UI doesn't update after the switch.

What I mean is if i'm using heroes 1-4 at the beginning of the fight, and switch hero 1 with 5, hero 5 visually joins battle and is able to act, but the four displayed hero at the bottom of the screen (UI) remain heroes 1-4.

Is there any script call that can refresh the UI ?

Thank you for your time.

Maybe try this?

---

SceneManager._scene._statusWindow.preparePartyRefresh();

Working like a charm, thank you !

Is there anywhere else to look than this gdoc when looking for scripts ?
I browsed over it but this command is nowhere to be found.

I'm not sure, sorry. I did just add it to that sheet, though, as "Refresh Battle Status".

In case it helps, I got that script call by looking through the core scripts:

• SceneManager._scene gets the current scene (rpg_managers.js);
• ._statusWindow gets the status window defined on Scene_Battle (rpg_scenes.js);
• .preparePartyRefresh() is a Window_BattleStatus method that loads all relevant face graphics then refreshes the window (rpg_windows.js).

Alright, that's all I needed.

Thank you again, you can close this post.
