How to have Monsters as Allies?

There are a few Monster Capture scripts on the Master Script List, and there might be some more out there too.

This is the kind of thing that could theoretically be evented with the addition of some very light scripting, but if any of the pre-existing scripts even get close to your needs, that's really the better way to go.

So in short, you don't want the character you have on the map fight in battles?

What battle system are you using? If it doesn't involve character sprites, you could just have all the actors (monsters) have the same char sprite as what you want your main character to look like. But have the faces and names as whatever you want.

But if I were to do that then wouldn't there be the same character following one another? So it would be my main character in a line of let's say four of the same people, because there are four different monsters I want to "send out"? At least that's what I would imagine would happen. I'm going off of the original VX Ace Battle System.

I don't quite think you understand what I'm trying to say. I don't want the main character fighting. I'm going to make an event which adds a monster to my team as soon as the game starts and I just want that monster fighting, nobody else.

You could turn off player followers in system, but I swear I knew of an alternative. I'll try to keep looking for a solution but I can't promise results if the you want to still have player followers.

The reason I mentioned those scripts is because (I believe) they "instance" out actors in the way that something like Pokemon or Monster Rancher or whatever would need.  There is more than one Augmon in your game, right?  What if you "collect" six of them as allies?  The game needs some way to tell them apart.

Hmmm.  Who do you want to show on the main screen?  The main character, the monsters that fight for him, or both?

That said, there are two different things you're asking about here - "how to add enemies to the party" and "how to remove the first actors from the battle order".

The usual method for adding "enemies" to the party is only to pretend to the player that enemies had been added - you simply make an actor for each enemy where you want the option to add it, giving that actor the same values and pictures as the enemy. And when it comes to the event where the enemy is added, instead of the enemy you add the actor with the same data.

Anything else (especially if you have a lot of enemies that would be needed to be copied to the actor list) would require a script. And such a script might be difficult to setup because an actor needs more data than the parts available for enemies on the database.

The other part, removing the leader or several regular party member from the battle, will require a script - there are some methods to make such a thing by eventing, but those are very limited in results because the game engine automatically selects the first members of the party for the battle.

There is one script "Aeon Party" on the master script list, please check if that does what you want. If not, you should check the party manager scripts available on the same list, perhaps one of them has the option to set actors to non-battle-members outside the regular sequence.

On the main screen, assuming it's the pause screen, I just want my "monsters" to show up not my actual character.when viewing the stats within the game. So yes, I want the monsters that fight for me to ONLY show up.
