Introduction
Creates a scene to rearrange your party. There are a variety of things to do in this system. You can remove and add characters from being available in the Reserves (non-party members), lock characters so you can't add or remove them, and make characters "Unavailable", which does about the same thing as Locking. The reasoning behind having two things like this is for representation purposes. A character who isn't in your party, but is temporarily unavailable COULD show up as being "Locked" (lock icon) but I didn't feel it looked as good as being "Unavailable" (greyed out.) But a character who IS in your party, but can't be removed, obviously wouldn't make sense as being Unavailable.

You can also see the statistics of the character, as well as the face graphic, in a small window to the right of the Party/Reserves.

What's the difference?

# ◦ RPG Revolution
# ◦ Released on: 27/12/2009
# ◦ Version: 1.1
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is a Party Manager/Switcher which allows the player to switch current
# party member with ones that are on standby. You can also make a Party Member
# unavailible or locked. There is also a function so that you can show and hide
# party members in the manager.
#===============================================================================
#  To open the party manager, use the code below:
#
#  $scene = Scene_Party.new
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  To make an actor visible in the Party Window, use the code below:
#
#  $data_actors[ID].found = true                
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
#  To make an actor unavailable (Grayed out)/unmoveable, use the code below:
#  
#  $data_actors[ID].unavailable = true            
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  To lock the leader, use the code below:                                  
#                                                                              
#  $game_party.members[0].actor.required = true              
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  To unlock the leader, use the code below:
#
#  $game_party.members[0].actor.required = false
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  To remove an actor from your reserves, use the code below:
#  
#  $data_actors[ID].found = false

GSorby's edit of the script:

Prexus' default script:

DEMO

Latest Norton 360 Scanned = OK.

Installation

Below Scenes and above main, in the material section.
Copy the "Locked.png" file from the Graphics\System\ directory into your own project, or create your own.
Locked.png


The initial starting party is automatically made available in your Reserves/Party. However, when adding a party member using the regular Event command, it doesn't automatically add the character to your Reserves. The reason being for temporary characters and such.

You haven't exactly told us what you edited. And did you even ask Prexus if you could post it here? You say it's exclusive, but I'm pretty sure it's on rpgmakervx.net as well.

Yes I got warned the first time for stealing. So I asked Prexus and he said back to me: Go for it, I don't care. And sorry about the exclusive thing. I'll change that now.

[Shanghai]

So if all you do is change the size of a few windows, add a few gauges, throw in one or two term changes, that's enough to say you made the script? And yes, I realize you mentioned Prexus, but honestly, do better than that... This leaves a very bad aftertaste in my mouth...

[Xzygon]

What's with the extra gauges? Those aren't needed (Except for looks, MAYBE.)
The only thing I like is that the full picture shows up.

For a start, where did I say that I made the script. If you look hard enough right the beginning, it says Prexus (for the actual script) and GSorby (for the edits and additions).

[rcGingerNinja]

Now now children no need to be snotty.

The OP has as far as we know permissions and has made what appears to be a positive change even if it is only visual that he/she has made (probably for personal use aswell) and has decided to share the results with others, so calm the hell down lol.

[draken29]

I want to remove a character in my reserve but how ?
(The initial member is not the MC)

[gsorby]

I want to remove a character in my reserve but how ?
(The initial member is not the MC)

Just call a script:

$data_actors[ID].found = false

Change ID to the ID of the actor you want to remove.

Hope this helps GSorby

[draken29]

Thanks

I'm only asking but can you post which part of the script that made the initial party automatically in the reserve ?

Thanks once more

[gsorby]

OK, youve lost me. What do you mean? When you use the command 'Add Party Member', you can just remove the actor you want to swap and then add the replacement, then add the actor you removed again and he/she should be in the reserves. If this is not what you mean, try to be more specific. Thanks. GSorby

[draken29]

ooh sorry about that i mean when you say

"The initial starting party is automatically made available in your Reserves/Party. "

in your first post

Which line in the script that made this ?

And I try to use $data_actors[ID].found = false
but the character doesn't disappear from the party windows

so please help me
i'm not that good at scripting

Be aware that a party member has to be on STANDBY to use $data_actors[ID].found = false. Otherwise it messes up. So a member should disappear when he/she is on standby.

[ItchMyController]

can u put it on the menu? >.> i dont relly want to command the people who play it to see if they want to change a character and then they dont and then later they want to but they cant bring it up

[Xzygon]

@Controller
That's pretty easy to do.
Just make a common event calling the script,
and use puppeto4's Comment Event Menu Script and call the common event from there.
puppeto4's script can be found here.

[gsorby]

can u put it on the menu? >.> i dont relly want to command the people who play it to see if they want to change a character and then they dont and then later they want to but they cant bring it up

OR (as it says in the demo), you can get yanfly's menu scene redux. You can call any .new commands from there and the menu doesnt close when you want to open it like puppetos. The script can be found here..
Plus its cool for a lot of other things
