Script: [v13+] Character Selection

[c4nter]

Hello, I'm trying to put the character selector on and choose the one I choose, it only sets me to control the first character, what could I do?

Try this. Remember that you need to assign the correct metadata for more playable characters.

Does this work with 21.1? :D

Edit:
It works on 21,1 for me.

Updated to work with Essentials v21.1 (the arrows were invisible before)

I get this error:

Did you follow the instructions in the script? because the mistake is clearly saying that you wrote something wrong. is your code like the example in the script.rb?


# overworld = [
# "trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
# "trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
# battle = ["POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
# "POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
# r=startCharacterSelection(
# overworld,battle)
# pbChangePlayer(r+1)
#
# Example with 4 characters. This example won't change your character, just
# store the index result at game variable 70.
#
# overworld = [
# "trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red", "trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
# "trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_May"
# ]
# battle = [
# "POKEMONTRAINER_Red","POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
# "POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","POKEMONTRAINER_May"
# ]
# $game_variables[70] = startCharacterSelection(overworld,battle)

Hey FL

Just letting you know that the new version of this plugin is missing the meta.txt file that plugins usually need, and this makes the game call the r=startCharacterSelection script an "undefined method"which makes it crash.

I noticed you'd put the information that's normally in the meta.txt inside of the Script file, so I just copied it over and added it to a new meta.txt file on my end, and now it works perfectly.

I don't think it's missing, most of the time I think he expects it to be placed above Main, which would make it not need a meta.txt

All versions don't have the meta, this is noted in instructions. This error only happens if someone try to incorretly convert this script in a plugin rather than putting it above main. Using the script editor is the standard way of adding new scripts in RPG Maker X.

Thanks to feedbacks like yours, I'm thinking in changing this since more and more people don't know about the standard way. So, thanks for letting me know!
