RMXP Blizz-ABS Party Member Switching Disabled?

[Bernkastel]

This may be a stupid question, but I've read through the Blizz-ABS manual, and I can't figure out how to disable the party leader switching..thing.

Is there any way to disable it? :S

Try to set the button assigned for it to "nil" (without the "), that should work.

*cough*

What button?

Bless you.

Didn't you mean that function where you can switch the party leader by pressing a button? If not, my bad.

[Bernkastel]

Yes, but I don't know what part of the script the 'nil' is supposed to go.

Derp.

Well, there is the configuration in the first script, where you configure... wait, what the hell? The button for the member switching isn't there o.O
I'll have to look for it. *walks off in shame*

Okay, in case you still need the "select" button (I currently have no clue what it is used for, I'm tired) go to the 3nd BlizzABS script, line 2794, this is where the leader switching seems to be defined.

So, change this:

# if battler exists and either dead or select triggered
      if player.battler != nil && ($game_system.select_button &&
          Input.trigger?(Input::Select) || player.battler.dead?)
        # switch to next valid actor
        switch_leader
      end 

to this

# if battler exists and either dead or select triggered
         # if player.battler != nil && ($game_system.select_button &&
         #  Input.trigger?(Input::Select) || player.battler.dead?)
         # switch to next valid actor
         # switch_leader
         # end 

...I could have just said "comment it out". Meh. You could delete it too, but this way you can always change it back quickly.

I did that and got a syntax error. :\

If I recall correctly, the Select button serves no purpose other than to change the party leader. Go ahead and set it to nil. That should solve your problem.

I'm sorry for being so uneducated. :x

How do I set it to nil...I already see a nil there, and I don't recognize any other part that could possibly have that. o-o

[Blizzard]

Better don't set it to nil but disable the button itself as soon as the game starts. Read the manual for the script call. Just use the search function to find it, search for select_button or switch_button.

I should really stop trying to help people at 2 am. :/

Exactly. You can disable it via a script call so you don't have to mess around with the code of Blizz-ABS.

[Bernkastel]

Okay, thank you!

I decided to call the script command, and use this code

$game_system.select_button = nil

And when I want to switch back, I can just use

$game_system.select_button = 1

Thank you for putting it in 'Bern is retarded terms'. I can be pretty stupid sometimes.

[Blizzard]

Using "true" and "false" would be cleaner, but yeah "1" and "nil" work actually. xD
