Actor's level reset to 1 by condition (DIFFICULT SCRIPT PROBLEM)

So ok I have kind of a mess on my hands this time, I have this script, What it does is when a specified Item is added or removed an actor is removed or added as well, what I need done is that when an actor is removed, his Level is set back to 1, BUT here is the curve ball, I am using TDS Stat Distibution, http://rpgmaker.net/scripts/225/ I also need all the gained and spent PARAM points to be removed or set back to default, This is really a hurdle but I could use help so bad! please I would appreciate it so much

Have you considered not resetting on remove, but resetting on adding the actor?


Because there is the option "initialize" on adding an actor, that will reset that actor to the database default values from beginning of the game...

well the only time an actor is added is through the script that I've provided, what your saying would only be done through eventing, in theory that would work well, but I need to know how to "initialize" through the script

Try creating a Common Event set to Parallel Process, with a Conditional Branch that checks whether or not the player is in the party.


Check: 'Set handling where conditions do not apply', and under Else, set Change Level to Decrease by 1, for each character you want to apply this to.


I'm not sure about the PARAM points, but it should at least work for the actor's level, hope it helps.

That wouldn't help the level needs to be descreased to 1 not by 1, and also I'm trying to stay away from parallel processes, I use very detailed attack animations and it causes lag

Any event command can also be called by script.
There is a topic "script equivalents for event commands" where those are collected, check that.

Sorry, I meant to 1.
When I tested it out it worked fine.

But I need to know where to add it into this script

It doesnt help with the "Stat Distribution" script i'm using

The only sure fire way I've found so far that works through eventing is that when the actor is added to party the "Initialize" works perfectly that Andar suggested, so basically I just need that option to be automatically on when any actor is added
