Thought this looked pretty neat and decided to give this resource a try. I am having issue/errors with it however and was hoping someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong:
The only thing I have changed is the color of the background image from blue to gray.
As seen in my error screen attached, I am using just the example script call. However not only are most the characters not displaying properly, when I move my cursor over to them it causes this error and crashes the application.

Do you have all the graphics that are being used in the call? (“trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf”, for example) This looks like an issue of a missing graphic

1. Run extendtext.exe on Essentials folder and open the event script command. The window will be bigger
2. Above main, create on a script section (this one on a new one):
Code:
def somename
overworld = ["trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red","trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
"trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_May"]
battle = ["POKEMONTRAINER_Red","POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
"POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","POKEMONTRAINER_May"]
result = startCharacterSelection(overworld,battle)
pbChangePlayer(result+1)
end
And only call 'somename' in the script event command
3. Create two script event commands, the second after the first. And put this two scripts:

One final thing (sorry) and this is likely user error again. But how do I get the game to recognize the choice I've made? Everything displays properly according to the script but after "selecting a character" the player is still defaulted to the standard pokemon trainer Red. Do I need to assign values somewhere? How do I get the game to make the player play as whatever choice they make in this script?
I've attached picture examples of what I mean if that helps.

The script returns the selected index number ('result') and you can do things with this result.
The last line on example is 'pbChangePlayer(result+1)', so you change the player based on the result. If you wish more than 2 playable trainers, you need to edit the player metadata to add more trainers in the game.

just store the result on a variable right after this code, like '$game_variables[42]=result' or '$game_variables[42]=result+1', and check the variable. You can also check '$Trainer.id' since you use it to change the player.

Sorry, but could you explain to me where and how exactly should I do that...? (store the result of this script in a variable, I mean). Just came back to Pokemon Essentials after a few years and can't seem to remember that one... Thanks
Awesome resource, btw.

overworld = ["trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red","trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
"trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_May"]
battle = ["POKEMONTRAINER_Red","POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
"POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","POKEMONTRAINER_May"]
result = startCharacterSelection(overworld,battle)
$game_variables[42]= result
After running this code, game variable 42 has the result/return, so you can use the game variable 42 at the Conditional Branch like Westrah example. Remember:
The return is the player selected index, starting at 0.
this script is only an selection screen, that can be used for several things, like a player screen.
So, to the player select example fully works you need to add the trainer on https://essentialsdocs.fandom.com/wiki/Metadata metadata and the trainer graphics (like running and fishing) into the project.
But your question makes sense, I probably add something into script instructions in the future.
