Hi everybody, I've got myself a little stumped in regards to how to update the player's menu
I'm making a game where there's only one 'main' party member, who is accompanied by a single follower, who can be swapped out. Basically what I've done is I've rebranded the main player's subclass to act as a sort of jury rigged follower system... Selecting a subclass (using Yanfly's Class system) runs a common event script that also changes whatever party member is currently following the main character and unlocks a new set of skills specific to that follower that the player can now use.
Specifically, the main menu screen doesn't update the new ally characteristics whenever they're switched out. I need to exit the menu and re-open it before the visual representation of the player's stats change to their correct values, which is kind of bad.
I assume its because Yanfly's menu doesn't really have a refresh method, so it only truly updates when it's closed and reopens. Problem is I don't really know how to do this!
