[Scripting Question] Is it possible for an event to call a graphic based on the leading Pokémon in the party?

[DrSlice]

I'm trying to make the player interact a bit more with their party Pokémon without using the Follower Pokémon script (because it doesn't exist for v19 anymore) through events, but I have absolutely no idea how I can convert the information gotten with $player.first_party into a specific overworld graphic of that exact leading Pokémon. As mentioned, I am using Essentials v19.

Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance!

im not sure what you're looking for exactly, but try something like:
species = $player.pokemon_party[0].species
ev = get_character(EVENT_ID)
ev.character = "Following/#{species}"

This would change an event's graphic with ID EVENT_ID to a file from a folder in Graphics/Characters/Following/

However, good luck replicating Following Pokemon, it is a very complex script. Are you sure it is not available for v19? I could have sworn that it is!

I only found Following Pokémon for v19 that was on Relic Castle, but that site is long gone unfortunately.

Still, thank you for the reply! I will try out your solution the next time I work on the game again!

The site is not as long gone as you might think
