(XP) need party members to count for more than 1 member

[bum_199 1]

does anyone know of a script or how to make one that would make certain party members count for more than 1 member? basically my idea is powerful people can join your party but the catch is they count for more than 1 party member and take up more room. help would be appreciated.

I not quite understood that needs you, but me it seems to, that you need Party Changer.

 

Here a link to you:

i get it, he wants a system like...

 

Character A = 1 spot Character B = 1 spot character C= 2 spots Character D = 1 Spot

 

if character A B and C are in the party then you have "4" spots taken, so D can not be in the party...

 

 

 

um doing this would be weird through events... i suggest learning script =D other than that, know that you'd need a common event based on variables, where the character with more spots would +2 that variable's constant....

 

the theory in my head would be a long and complicated process...

I actually don't know much about scripting so i guess i'm screwed. i am also currently looking for a large party script. Whatever scripts i end up using just need to be compatible with that and gubids tactical battle system script (as far i know now) which i'm already using. But thanks. On a side note if you had some really powerful characters join a group any ideas how you would penalize the party to keep the game tougher? Not thinking tougher enemies cause they would be the powerful characters joining you. Was originally thinking having tougher characters would reduce the party size considerably. I know this is moving in a different direction now so it may have to be moved.
