i want to set a variable equal to a party member's status id. i tried game_variables[1] = game_party.actors[0].state but nothing happens. any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: this would be used in a call script event.

You can have multiple states on a character causing it to be an array. As far as I know thats not going to work as easily as you want.
BTW just add $ before those aka $game_variables[1]

Is there any state in particular you want to check? If so, you could do something like
and call it like so:
which would equal variable 1 to 2 if actor 1 has state 2 (default Stun) or 0 if not.
If you're only planning on using one state, a simple
CODE
class Game_Party
def check_state(state,actor)
actors[actor].states.each{|i| return state if state == i}
return 0
end
end
def check_state(state,actor)
actors[actor].states.each{|i| return state if state == i}
return 0
end
end
and call it like so:
CODE
$game_variables[1] = $game_party.check_state(2,1)
which would equal variable 1 to 2 if actor 1 has state 2 (default Stun) or 0 if not.
If you're only planning on using one state, a simple
CODE
$game_variables[1] = $game_party.actors[0].states[0]
would suffice.

what would that do? check if the state is KO'd

$game_variables[1] = $game_party.actors[0].states[0]

That would set variable 1 to the first state it finds, which I'm pretty sure is the first one added to the character. Basically, states[] is an array of all the states the actor has, and by calling states[0] you're fetching the first element in the array.

so if i set it to say 2 would it call that state instead?
$game_party.actors[0].states[2] would get the third state Aluxes has. What exactly are you trying to do?
i'm trying to create an event that makes a regen effect. i.e if the party member has the regen it heals them by a certain amount
There's a conditional branch condition that says "state X" inflicted, you can use that.

that would work if i didn't have a lot of characters.
So use a conditional branch that uses script:
$game_party.actors[0].states.include?(1)
$game_party.actors[0].states.include?(1)

thanks. that was really helpful.
