Kuick Leader Swap XP
by Kyonides
IntroductionOnce upon a gaming time, some forumer, who might have recently escaped from Minecraft for unknown reasons, wanted to easily swap the current party leader, not just by pressing the L or R button but also via direct assignment.
Well, we don't know how accurate this legend might be, but this is the final outcome of that ancient story.Script Calls
Set a Temporary Leader:
- RememberLeaderIndex? stands for a boolean value: true or false.
- This new leader becomes permanent if RememberLeaderIndex? is false.
Code:
$game_party.temp_leader(PartyIndex, RememberLeaderIndex?)Restore the Previous Leader (If Any):
Code:
$game_party.restore_leaderSet a Leader by Actor's ID:
Code:
$game_party.set_leader_by_id(ActorID)L & R Button-Related Script Calls
Prevent the player from Swapping the current Leader:
Code:
$game_party.keep_leader!Reenable the player to Swap the current Leader:
Code:
$game_party.swap_leader!Check Current Keep Leader State - Returns either true or false:
Code:
$game_party.keep_leaderThe Script

Thank Ace_V for unwillingly inspiring me to
craft the script. (Just don't or else his PM box will get full any time soon. 
)That's it!

This really is useful and very light and easy to implement! Thanks again, kyonides! I spent the better part of a day going through all my previously-finished quest lines to implement the script call to ensure the correct character is in the lead to further enhance some cutscenes.
(I've never played Minecraft, though!)

Script Update
Starting from version 1.1.0, you can now make script calls that will affect the way the L & R buttons work. They will allow you to either (re-)enable or disable that feature at will.
But don't worry pals! The original features remain intact and unblocked by this change. 
RE: Kuick Leader Swap XP - Ace_V - 09-09-2025
Nice new feature! That's very useful for scenes that rely on parallel processes (perhaps a hallway with text/effects popping up slowly as you walk through) and you need a specific leader.
RE: Kuick Leader Swap XP - kyonides - 09-09-2025
Just in case I didn't explain myself clearly enough on my previous post, I am leaving a summary here as well.
The only new feature in version 1.1.0 is the ability to disable the L & R buttons and to reenable them later on. Needing a specific leader was taken care of by the previous release, namely 1.0.2.
Rest assure that I have NOT removed any previous feature so you are free to change the leader by using any of the previous script calls. If deemed necessary.
