Fukuyama Spriteset Consistancy

Fukuyama Spriteset Consistancy
Version: 1.0

Introduction

Fukuyama's classic Train Actor from 2015 is one of the oldest caterpillar, or party-following systems, that has existed for RPGMaker XP. However, the following party members were never an active part of the Spriteset called by the map system. It never needed to.

However any other instance needing to ustilize the spriteset command, such as a custom menu or combat system with the current field map in the background, did not show the additional party members. The traditional call of "Spriteset.new" to capture the screen had nothing to accommodate the following party members.

Hence, this new script. A simple script that merely adds the Fukuyama Train Actor caterpillar actors into the Spriteset. Fine for any who need the party to be visible in frozen Spriteset screens.
