Actor & Party's Self Variables VX - PK8 - 09-17-2009

Actor & Party's Self Variables VX
Version: 1

Introduction
This script is a tad similar to that of the built in feature: Self Switches. For those not familiar with Self Switches, Self Switches pretty much pertain to a specific event. Example: Treasure Chests.

Actor & Party Self Variables allows developers to set certain variables pertaining to a certain party member or actor.

Let's say, you set a variable to Party Member 1 (Ralph) to 5. In case you ever change party members, the variable will still be 5 for that member in the party (Ralph).                                                          Or how about if you want to set a certain variable for a specific actor instead of a member in the party. You can do that as well!

Features
  • Set party member's self variables via call script.
  • Get party member's self variables via call script.
  • Set actor's self variables via call script.
  • Get actor's self variables via call script.

? ? Setting up a party member's self variable:                                 ?
?   To set a self variable for a party member, you'll need to call this script:?
?     party_self_variable(member, id, value, oper)                             ?
?       member: Party Member. (0, 1, 2, 3)                                     ?
?       id:     Party Member Self Variable Identification. Example: 'A', 'B'   ?
?       value:  Give it a value.                                               ?
?       oper:   0: Set, 1: Add, 2: Sub, 3: Mul, 4: Div, 5: Mod                 ?
?   Example: party_self_variable(0, 'A', 5, 0) sets whoever may be the 1st     ?
?            party member's variable "A" to 5.                                 ?
?                                                                              ?
? ? Getting a party member's self variable:                                    ?
?   To get a self variable of a party member, you can call this script.        ?
?     party_self_variable(member, id)                                          ?
?       member: Party Member. (0, 1, 2, 3)                                     ?
?       id:     Party Member Self Variable Identification. Example: 'A', 'B'   ?
?   Example: party_self_variable(0, 'A') gets variable "A" of whoever may be   ?
?            the 1st party member.                                             ?
?                                                                              ?
? ? Using party member's self variables in evented if conditions.              ?
?   You're probably wondering how, right? Alright. To do this, go to the       ?
?   conditional branch event command, click on the fourth tab, select Script   ?
?   and type either of these in the input form:                                ?
?     party_self_variable(member, id) == value   <- Equal to.                  ?
?     party_self_variable(member, id) >= value   <- Greater than or Equal to.  ?
?     party_self_variable(member, id) <= value   <- Less than or Equal to.     ?
?     party_self_variable(member, id) > value    <- Greater than.              ?
?     party_self_variable(member, id) < value    <- Less than.                 ?
?     party_self_variable(member, id) != value   <- Not Equal to.              ?
?                                                                              ?
? ? Setting up an actor's self variable:                                       ?
?   To set a self variable for an actor, you'll need to call this script:      ?
?     actor_self_variable(actor, id, value, oper)                              ?
?       actor: Character ID from the database. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)        ?
?       id:    Party Member Self Variable Identification. Example: 'A', 'B'    ?
?       value:  Give it a value.                                               ?
?       oper:   0: Set, 1: Add, 2: Sub, 3: Mul, 4: Div, 5: Mod                 ?
?   Example: actor_self_variable(1, 'A', 5, 0) sets Actor 1's variable "A" to 5?
?                                                                              ?
