What I'm looking for is a way to check if the actor second in the party, IE $game_party.actors[1] is afflicted by State X.
And have this be a script call for a conditional.
The VX Ace thread on this site suggests:
$game_party.actors[X].states.include?($data_states[Y])
But as you can see from my image below, trying that in RMXP doesn't work.

(I'm aware the above shows a check against actor id, not party id, i was just trying to get the check to work... unsuccesfully.)
I want to be able to set a conditional check against a party actors state, (as opposed to actor ID in the database) is there a way please?
