RMVX Caterpillar Script Options

[Diedrupo]

This is a quick modification of Trickster's caterpillar script to make it work in RMVX. Just copy and paste and add somewhere above Main.
UPDATE: I have updated the script to fix the dash problem.

NOTE: I noticed that the CODEBOX tag messed the formatting of the script up, so I uploaded a text file attachment with the script as well.

Hey I have some problems...
Everytime I add a Third Chara all the Charas are disappearing?
e.g when i have a map with three charas with an add to team thing...
The first chara appears.. But when i recruit another one they all
disappear^^"

That doesn't happen to me. Are you using other scripts? Make sure Caterpillar goes below them.

But this will even happen when i only have you script in my game.
