Summary

-3 and the Shields represent the State: Back Row which is applied to Party Member #4-6.

Archived First Post

I am currently trying to implement the concept of "Battle Rows" (Front / Back) into my game. I have created two states called Front Row / Back Row. I am using the SVActorPosition to visually create the rows. Now comes the problem and I am hoping the community will have a solution...

How do I have these states automatically applied every combat: Front Row state applied to Party Member 1-3, and Back Row state applied to Party Member 4-6.

My first assumption is using a Common Event that runs at the start of every battle... there was a script for this, but I can't for the life of me find it now I just spent 20 minutes looking for it. I trying to dig it up tomorrow...

Would this be plausible in a Common Event to check who is Party Member 1-3 (Variable) then apply State to them (Front Row)?

EDIT:

I think the Common Event that I added to the pictures will work to accomplish this... I need to test it out still so I am not going to mark this as answered quite yet.

Now I just need to find where that Plugin was that allowed me to set a Common Event to play for every combat...

EDIT2:

Tested and success!

Going to request this for closure.
