Resource [v13+] Character Selection 1.2

[-FL-]

can this resource be used to call the player's outfit as well?

You can use this resouce for any kind of selection. But you should know the character file names beforehand. Otherwise you nee to edit the resource.

Press F11 in RPG Maker XP to open script editor. Then, create a new script section above main (preferably, right above), then paste the script in the new empty section. You can also copy and past the script right in the Main section start, but I don't recommend this.

What was your error when putting above main?

See here how to convert it into a detectable plugin, if you prefer this way.

For calling it, just copy the example and put into the script call (without the '#') and try choosing Red of Leaf.

 

[Barral]

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)

this is the example, its to many characters, the function to call the script dont allow me to put that many,

is to put these overworld and battle and replace in this function startCharacterSelection(overworld,battle) like:

startCharacterSelection(
["trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red","trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
"trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_May"]
,
["POKEMONTRAINER_Red","POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
"POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","POKEMONTRAINER_May"]
)

i dont get it, sorry.
then i dont need to change anything in the script? add more ow and battle choices and where i can put?

the result and pbChangePlayer(result+1) are to call both on the same script? im asking all this because i trid a lot of thing and none of them worked

 

[-FL-]

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)

this is the example, its to many characters, the function to call the script dont allow me to put that many,

You can run extendtext.exe ()look at your project folder) to raise this limit, create a def above main (a bit more complex) or use your other example with some changes

startCharacterSelection(
["trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red","trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
"trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_May"]
,
 ["POKEMONTRAINER_Red","POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf",
 "POKEMONTRAINER_Brendan","POKEMONTRAINER_May"]
)

The 'startCharacterSelection' just return you the index choosed (i.e. 0 for Red, 1 for Leaf). If you want to use it to change your character, you need to store the result and call pbChangePlayer. This way:

r = startCharacterSelection(
["trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
,
 ["POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
)
pbChangePlayer(r+1)

(I also removed Brendan and May to make things simpler and shorter).

After this worked, you can change the sprites. Let me know if this doesn't work!

 

[Barral]

r = startCharacterSelection(
["trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
,
["POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
)
pbChangePlayer(r+1)

this worked but it change to a complete black screen with nothing

 

[-FL-]

r = startCharacterSelection(
["trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
,
["POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
)
pbChangePlayer(r+1)

this worked but it change to a complete black screen with nothing

Where did you called the event script? I used a random NPC in Lappet to test it. What was your essentials version?

 

[Barral]

v21 i tested the same way

 

[-FL-]

There is a mistake in my example. Change

r = startCharacterSelection(
["trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
,
 ["POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
)
pbChangePlayer(r+1)

to

r = startCharacterSelection(
["trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"trainer_POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"],
 ["POKEMONTRAINER_Red",
"POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf"]
)
pbChangePlayer(r+1)

I tested here in v21.1 and it was working, only arrows didn't appears but I gonna fix this soon. If the black screen continues, try using it in a vanilla v21.1.

I have a question: I put this above main:

First i have the code for character selection, that part works.

Below it I have this:

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

Then in the event I have this:

Script: somename
Script: pbChangePlayer(result+1)

I then get a crash after picking the trainer, removing the change player line results in the game continuing to run but with the default character regardless of choice. Any ideas? Also for the surfing and fishing animation, can i just add those to this list?

The line 'pbChangePlayer(result+1)' after 'somename' will crash the game, since game doesn't know what is 'result', so remove this line at this place. After this change, did you can at least change between first and second player? This should be working.

I did that and after picking any of the characters, it just gives me the default male character.

I did that and after picking any of the characters, it just gives me the default male character.

I tested right now at a clear v21.1 in a NPC at Lappet Town and when I select (and confirm) Leaf (the female character), I changed into Leaf. This should be working, looks like something that you changed. I suggest testing in a vanilla v21.1.

 

[The_Bird_King]

I was able to figure out what I was missing (not updating the metadata). Everything is good now, I just wish Essentials included the full sprite sheets for Brenden and May :/
