Help In Rpg Maker

[Dagoth Nereviar 0]

In my RPG Maker game, I have a "HQ" where you can "talk" to the people currently available in your party.However, when I have cutscenes in the game, I want to show the current party. I'll give an example:(Made up names) Fred, Jim, Larry and Barry are in the party. I change Jim for Ted. Simple enough, I've done that code. I go out and, oh! A cutscene, and Fred, Ted, Larry and Barry need to be shown. I've got the code to make the actual events of the party members appear, I just can't get it to set the sprites of the current party members.I tried this (Fred is always the first hero, btw):First Event:If Jim is in the party. Sprite looks like Jim.If Larry is in the party. Sprite looks like Larry.If Barry is in the party. Sprite looks like Barry.If Ted is in the party. Sprite looks like Ted.Second Event:If Jim is in the party. Sprite looks like Jim.If Larry is in the party. Sprite looks like Larry.If Barry is in the party. Sprite looks like Barry.If Ted is in the party. Sprite looks like Ted.Third Event:If Jim is in the party. Sprite looks like Jim.If Larry is in the party. Sprite looks like Larry.If Barry is in the party. Sprite looks like Barry.If Ted is in the party. Sprite looks like Ted. However, the major floor in this code is that all 3 events will be set to Larry. The only way I can think around this is to have switches, and when the first event has seen that Larry is in the group, it turns a switch one (Something like "LarryIn") then when the second event looks, it looks to see if Larry is in the party. If he is, then it checks if the switch is on, if it is then skip, if not choose. I have alot of switches already, so I don't really want to do this, and it's alot of code to have.PS: I don't mind if the hero order in the menu is "Fred, Larry, Barry, Ted" but the event order shows "Fred, Ted, Larry, Barry"

Ok, I can help you. I also use RMXP... Alot. I'm actually an RGSS Scripter, so I'm here to save the day! :XD:


Below is a script I made that will make it so you can call whose sprites you want to be displayed and more. If you want, you can also show sprites of someone who's not even in your party as like an NPC or something. It's hard to explain, just follow the instructions in the script to install and use.

Help In Rpg Maker

 

I have a couple of scripts I already have written but I don't know how to insert them into the event box. Also if anyone knows how to make an item storing system (kinda like a bank) add that as well please
