Lead Actor Swapper script error

[Ace_V]

Hi! I tried implementing the Lead Actor Swapper script by Sheol:
https://www.save-point.org/showthread.php?tid=6559


But when I tried swapping a character out using the Q button (L on a gamepad), I encounter an error on line 64:

Code:

      $game_system.lead_actor = ($game_system.lead_actor - 1) % $game_party.actors.size

I use a caterpillar script, could that be the problem? I was hoping I could swap/change character's party positions using the script and they would also swap on the caterpillar.

Is that really all the information the popup window has provided you with?

I'm wondering.....

Code:

$game_system.lead_actor = ($game_system.lead_actor - 1) % $game_party.actors.size

Is this an issue where it tries to go FROM lead_actor #0 and attempts to incorrectly generate lead_actor #-1


I think you could go two different ways:
>> If you cannot go below actor #0 or past the party limit -- no cycling <<

Code:

def update
    slipknog_las_update
    # Button input adjustments to lead actor
    $game_system.lead_actor += 1 if Input.trigger?(Input::R)
    $game_system.lead_actor -= 1 if Input.trigger?(Input::L)
    # Get max party size limit
    sz_limit = $game_party.actors.size - 1
    # Keep lead actor in range
    $game_system.lead_actor 0 if $game_system.lead_actor < 0
    $game_system.lead_actor sz_limit if $game_system.lead_actor > sz_limit
  end

---

>> Allow cycling, on going below actor #0... or past party limit... -- no cycling <<

Code:

def update
    slipknog_las_update
    # Button input adjustments to lead actor
    $game_system.lead_actor += 1 if Input.trigger?(Input::R)
    $game_system.lead_actor -= 1 if Input.trigger?(Input::L)
    # Get max party size limit
    sz_limit = $game_party.actors.size - 1
    # Keep lead actor in range
    $game_system.lead_actor sz_limit if $game_system.lead_actor < 0
    $game_system.lead_actor 0 if $game_system.lead_actor > sz_limit
  end

Again, I am still without my main PC and RPGMaker.

Is this an issue where it tries to go FROM lead_actor #0 and attempts to incorrectly generate lead_actor #-1

And that's hoping there's no such issue as a NilClass error message because Game_System never owned any lead_actor method or @lead_actor being set to nil (the default value)...

So Ace_V, was there any specific error message mentioned in your popup window or backtrace script? Can you post it here as is?
It's just to make sure nobody is skipping or ignoring any vital details here...
