Party help

[Whataface2]

I'm trying to get a new member to join my party. Unfortunetly, I think I might have a glitch somewhere in one of my scripts that is causing it not to work. Here's the problem:

When I first put Rocky in slot five of the party menu and the call him up in the script with the change script add, here what happens:

Rocky shows up as the little girl model (he's suppose to be a horse)
Rocky Status in Party menu In the Game
Hp 30 Hp 9
Mp 0 Mp 24
Str 12 Str 4
Agi 4 Agi
Def 6 Def 9
Int 4 Int 12
Luck 10 Luck 11
Level 1 Level 1

Now when i use slot 6 this is what happens:
I start the event by talking to a character and this pops up *blank* has been slain. I take a half of step a coffin appears and then the correct character model appears but with the max hp at 1 and all the other stats at zero.

I tried this doing this like in new mode and the character joined with no problems.

Has anyone ever ran into this problem or am I going to have to start my game all over again?:cry

It sounds like you made the character from scratch and missed one of the Very Many little details that can cause glitches.

Try remaking the character by using my Oft-Touted "Copy-Paste-&-Modify" technique.

The pre made stuff is not to be shunned! Just modify that stuff until you can figure out how to find all the things that may have gone wrong.

At least everything will function!

Good Luck with it!

thanks, I tried that but it didn't work. I'm at my whits end.

OK, I may need more information then...

Are you using 1 or 2 characters for "Rocky"?

It's not possible to permenantly change a character model, so that may be contributing.

I'll be rushing to finish an entry for the contest this weekend, but will try to test this and see what happens.

Meanwhile, more general details of how this is set up will help.

Keep at it! This is quite possible. It just needs to be set up right.

Good Luck!

Okay. I'm just trying to use one character for Rocky. I have tried to alter the pre - existing data. It is correct in the data base, but when I try to get Rocky to join the party the wrong model comes up with totally different stats or it says that blank has been slained, then it shows the coffin and then a second later it shows the correct model of Rocky but with all the stats set at zero.

The model that shows up is not one that I have set as any of my other characters. It's like the game generated a new character on its own?:skeptical

All I want is to have Rocky join the party. I have gotten other characters to do this in the past with no problems. I've checked the scripts and the scripting is correct.

I think the game has a mind of it's own.

Check the Party Member database.

There is a page for setting the model under various statuses (that's why you see a coffin for death) (but I have no clue why the character is dying!).

Make sure to change all the models in there as needed.

That's all I can think of for now.

I may have more insights after I experiment a bit (after I finish making Garbage).

You'll get it if you keep at it!

im kinda confused. are you adding your character to a 4 party team? if so, you'll need to remove someone before you add another i think.

No I was trying to add a character to a party of two.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunetly, my game started to do quick saves without me telling it to do and then my party started to disappear and reappear.

So I decided to delete and start over.

On the upside I finally found all the pre-existing data (only took me 5 months to do so :p ) and now my maps are starting to look more life like.

Thanks again you guys are a great help with all of your input and the guides you all have made.

So now its on to take 3 of Henry's Big Adventure.
