Final Fantasy VI-Style Party System
Version: 1.00
Type: Party Switcher
IntroductionIn Final Fantasy VI, you enter a room on your Airship where you can add members to your party by speaking with them. This script accomplishes the same effect.
Features
- Could theoretically work for any number of party members.
- Easy to set up.
- Room could be placed anywhere (town, vehicle, at save points, etc.)
- Optional: Plays characters theme song if you add them to your party (a la Chrono Trigger.)
- It is assumed that you will have a main character who never leaves the party. If you allow the player to pick their own party leader, this event system will not work.
- Requires one switch for every party member and one variable for the amount of members currently in the party.

InstructionsFirstly, you must have the game remove all party members except the leader when entering the Party Switching Room.
Next, create a switch for each character, and make sure the event to the Party Switching Room turns them all off:
Now create a variable called Party Members, and set it to 0.
Your finished event for the event transporting the player to the Party Switching Room should look something like this:
Now, inside the Party Switching Room, create an event for each member of your party, and set it up like so:
The Party Members variable should be checked for one less than your maximum party. (In my demo, the max number of party members is three, so I set the variable to check if there are already two members, since the leader is always in the party.)
Set up a second page that is blank that with the condition that that character's switch is on.
If you want to play a character's theme song when they join your party, simply add the Play BGM event code after their acceptance message.
Credits and Thanks
- Square for making Final Fantasy VI, which this system is based on.
Author's NotesI understand this is a fairly simplistic system, but it provides a good example to people new at eventing and is fairly useful to boot if for whatever reason you don't want a script-based party switcher such as Blizzard's Easy Party Switcher.
