Lead Actor Swapper script error

[kyonides]

That can be done via event commands, but I wouldn't waste the chance to  craft a script for this purpose.

Code:

# * Kuick Leader Swap XP * #
#   Scripter : Kyonides
#   2025-09-06

class Game_Party
  def change_leader(n)
    if n < 0
      @actors.unshift @actors.pop
    else
      @actors << @actors.shift
    end
  end

  def temp_leader=(n)
    @temp_leader_index = n
    @actors[0], @actors[n] = @actors[n], @actors[0]
    $game_player.refresh
  end

  def restore_leader
    n = @temp_leader_index
    @actors[0], @actors[n] = @actors[n], @actors[0]
    @temp_leader_index = nil
    $game_player.refresh
  end

  def leader
    @actors[0]
  end
end

class Game_Player
  alias :kyon_kuick_leader_swap_gm_plyr_up :update
  def update
    kyon_kuick_leader_swap_gm_plyr_up
    if Input.trigger?(Input::L)
      $game_party.change_leader(-1)
      refresh
      return
    elsif Input.trigger?(Input::R)
      $game_party.change_leader(1)
      refresh
    end
  end
end

Temporarily Change the Leader:

Code:

$game_party.temp_leader = Index

Restore the Original Leader to his rightful place:

Code:

$game_party.restore_leader

SIDE NOTE

I think Wulfo inverted the order of how the actors should cycle and that's why Ace_V got an unexpected result there. Yet, it's interesting to learn that it duplicated actors the more he used the swap feature.
