Character Position variable?

[Trainer Zydragon]

Which section of script in which script edits, changes or defines character position? Or how would I go about defining it within a script?

I'm looking for this particular section of script for an options edit, yaknow so I can change char position like FF7 style.

Thanks for any help

So, basically you're asking how to move a player with a script call?

That would be this:

$game_map.setup(MAP ID)
$game_player.moveto(X, Y)

No no no, player positions in battle
Sorry if I didnt make that clear lol

Basically I want to make an option which changes their position if you want to, like forward middle and behind.

If you look at one of the battle scripts, theres a part that mentions a roulette depending on the players position in battle, which shows the chances of monsters attacking and stuff. So I want people effectively able to choose which characters they want to put further into the battle or further back (archers and such).

Oh, this thing?

Yeah, I just searched and found what you said, this:

Spoiler: ShowHide

  def random_target_actor(hp0 = false)
    # Initialize roulette
    roulette = []
    # Loop
    for actor in @actors
      # If it fits the conditions
      if (not hp0 and actor.exist?) or (hp0 and actor.hp0?)
        # Get actor class [position]
        position = $data_classes[actor.class_id].position
        # Front guard: n = 4; Mid guard: n = 3; Rear guard: n = 2
        n = 4 - position
        # Add actor to roulette n times
        n.times do
          roulette.push(actor)
        end
      end
    end
    # If roulette size is 0
    if roulette.size == 0
      return nil
    end
    # Spin the roulette, choose an actor
    return roulette[rand(roulette.size)]
  end

I'm not sure, but you could probably do this:

Spoiler: ShowHide

class Game_System
  attr_accessor :Position

  alias position initialize
  def initialize
    @Position  = 1
    position
  end
end

and then rewrite the random_target_actor from before, and change this line:

position = $data_classes[actor.class_id].position

to:

position = $game_system.position

Of course, using this would require you do this for each actor...

Otherwise, you could make it change the players class instead?

EDIT: Sorry, I'm not the best at Battle Systems.
