Leader Follow Script

[Ffliam]

This script lets you show the other characters in the party following the party leader around. This script includes two new classes, Game_Party_Actor and Move_List_Element. It also contains a new module for Game_Player. These should be inserted into their own script sections just before the "Main" script. The other scripts add functionality to existing classes and should be placed in the script sections for their respective classes after the existing method definitions.

Hope You All Enjoy The Script/s

 

[Tohsaka]

Don't double post. SInce you are obviously new, put it in a code box.

 

[Raziel]

I don't know if this script was posted before, but it is Fukuyama's Caterpillar script. Ffliam, please don't double post and use the code tags [noparse]

script goes here

[/noparse].

 

[Ffliam]

Sorry didn't realise someone had already posted this script thanks for telling me

 

[DerVVulfman]

Oh, it's not that. It hasn't been posted here (well, in the "Submitted Scripts" forum) until now. http://www.dubealex.com/asylum/style_em ... n_wink.gif[/IMG] It's just that when you post someone else's script, you also include the name of the original author (or 'Someone wrote this... I dunno who'), and let the public know that you're submitting someone else's work.

Typically, you try to contact the original author too (Helpful Rules & Templates). But tell you the truth, I think he's fallen off the map. It's been a couple of years since this script came out and this sucker's been pasted everywhere. http://www.dubealex.com/asylum/style_em ... lright.gif[/IMG]

If you want, you can always 're-edit' your first post with the [edit] button... add in the
[ code ] and [ /code ] features to clean it up and such... You're new to posting here (and elsewhere :D ) so I figure you're not up on the codes you can use to enhance and present your posts (and prevent double-posting).

The newest version of Fukuyama's script is at http://rgss-lib.sourceforge.jp/public_scripts/train_actor.txt
and his site is http://rgss-lib.sourceforge.jp

Is there a way to turn this script off.
Like a call script event?

TRAIN_ACTOR_TRANSPARENT_SWITCHES_INDEX = 20

See this code?? You can toggle this switch (20) to enable/disable the script.

TRAIN_ACTOR_TRANSPARENT_SWITCHES_INDEX = 20

See this code?? You can toggle this switch (20) to enable/disable the script.

This would be absolutely great if it worked, but it doesn't. Or maybe it does, I just failed. That wont matter since it seems it only changes the actors following you to transparent mode, not removing them completely.

Sadly, I need something to disable the whole script for a short perioid. My battle system will not work otherwise. Is this possible or am I doomed to abandon my project? (If I delete this or the battle system script, my whole project is bugged and will not work).

Once I enter battle all it says is "Script: Catepillar line 137: NoMethodError occurred. Unidentified method 'character' for # <Sprite_Cursor:0x3cb9000>

PLEASE HELP ':|
