Class Change Issue [Resolved] Options

[Xyster]

Right now I'm working on a battle system that involves two things that I am having issues with. The first I think is fairly simple, I'm just missing the line that I need to change to get it right, the other is confusing me. I'll post both of them together so that I don't take up two threads.

1. My battlers aren't resting at the bottom of the screen and I can't scoot them down. Below you'll see a picture, I'd like to move the bottom of my battler to be flush with the bottom of the screen since they're flat on the bottom. I am using a custom battle script, but as you can see it still works with the standard front view system. Please let me know and I'll see if I can link the script.

2. I have a dual class system that I'm working on via common events instead of scripting. Basically, an ability changes the character to the second class, and another one changes them back. Unfortunately when my character changes classes, all of the skills stay the same, even though it is indeed switching to the new class. I checked with the name of the class in the menu to make sure that it had gone through, plus the character graphic changes.

None of the new skills are showing up, is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? Again, please let me know if I need to elaborate.

Thanks!

For question 1, I can't be completely sure this will work, but if it does use the default method to show the battler, then go to line 583 of Game_Actor

[Show/Hide] Y of the battler

And just add a + 50 or something to move the battlers down.

If it doesn't work, you'll need to post a link to the battle system



For question 2, when you change class, the only immediate changes to your actor is you'll unequip any class-specific weapons that you can no longer wield, and it changes your class so when you level up you learn the new class' skills.
if you want to have the player lose all their class-learnt skills, ang gain the skill of a new class when they change classes, this sciript should help

Oh, and since both of these questions are heavily script related, I'm moving this to Script Support

Thank you very much! Both of those worked and resolved my issues. I had looked for the right line to change my battler position, but didn't know that it was under game_actor. I'll know where to look from now on. Also, that script works like a charm, thank you so much! You'll go right into the credits.

Also, my apologies, I didn't realize that both of these would be scripting issues. Thank you for moving to the right spot.
