    I can't get a custom follower to work. It has a valid character name and character_index but they are not visible? What else is there to set?

    I'm also not sure if my override of max_battle_members is the proper way to add an extra pet to the party (who is not visible in battle or in the menu or anywhere else). It seems like a dirty solution...

    I've moved this thread to RGSSx Script Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


    Do you see them in the menu? Do you need to create an Actor for them in the database?

    - I don't want the follower to show up in the menu or anywhere else. I just want a follower. But by checking out whether or not it appears in the menu I saw that the follower becomes visible after closing the menu... So there is a redraw/refresh problem somewhere... So I'm gonna check out what opening/closing the menu refreshes.

    - And the follower spawns at coordinate 0,0 which is of course not intended. That can be solved by:

    $game_player.followers.synchronize($game_player.x, $game_player.y, $game_player.direction)But that is just a dirty solution to patch a bug in the code.

    - And "Gather Followers" only moves the follower 1 tile closer instead of right on top of the player.

    - There must be something really wrong with my script. I just need to know the basics for making a follower visible. I know that adding a new Follower instance to the $game_player.followers.data is the first step. But what then...
