Description:
You know how when the "lead" (front) character dies? I thought it was silly for the sprite on the map to still be displaying the "lead character that was dead so...
- When lead player dies the sprite on the map switchs to the next person in line thats alive.
- When you switch a character around the map sprite is updated. Best with: RPG Advocate's Changing Party Order.
- (By DerVV: It's Yargovich's script, not RPG Advocate. RPG Advocate just had it on his own website.)

Screenshots/Demo:
Not Needed

Note: Hoped I used alias correctly...

Instructions:
- Paste it over main.
