Actor & Party's Self Variables VX
Version: 1
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.

? ? How to Use ?
? ?
? ? 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?
? ?
? ? Getting an actor's self variable: ?
? To get a self variable of an actor, you can call this script. ?
? actor_self_variable(actor, id) ?
? actor: Character ID from the database. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) ?
? id: Party Member Self Variable Identification. Example: 'A', 'B' ?
? Example: actor_self_variable(1, 'A') gets variable "A" of Actor 1. ?
? ?
? ? Using an actor's self variables in evented if conditions. ?
? 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: ?
? actor_self_variable(member, id) == value <- Equal to. ?

? actor_self_variable(member, id) <= value <- Less than or Equal to. ?
? actor_self_variable(member, id) > value <- Greater than. ?
? actor_self_variable(member, id) < value <- Less than. ?
? actor_self_variable(member, id) != value <- Not Equal to. ?
