Forcing a party of four?

Hi everyone! Sorry again if this is a simple question. I was wondering if there's a way to force the player to pick 4 party members through the in game's "party order" menu?

If not, is there a simple copy/paste example that someone can kindly provide through hamster speak? I'm really bad when it comes to scripting, things beyond "walk hero to x" would fry my mind. Though I'm always open to learning... baby steps!

I basically don't want people forming parties of 3 or less... however I want to give them -some- freedom in choosing who to bring instead of throwing them a fixed locked party. XD

難しい～☆

Thank you for taking the time to read this message, and thank you in advance if you answer!

You could keep throwing the player back to the party menu until he finally comes up with a party of 4. That's the easiest way.

following what Mogri said, call this in the text box conditions "always do this after":

Code:

plotscript, choose_four_party, begin

variable (loop)
loop:= true

while (loop) do
(
team menu
wait(1)
if
(
hero by slot(0)<>-1
&& hero by slot(1)<>-1
&& hero by slot(2)<>-1
&& hero by slot(3)<>-1
)
then (loop:=false)
)

end


and i'm not sure if you still need the wait(1)

Further simplifying Charbile's script:

Code:

plotscript, choose_four_party, begin

variable (loop)
loop:= true

while (loop) do
(
team menu
wait(1)
if
(
roominactiveparty<>0
)
then (loop:=false)
)

end

Complexifying TMC's simplification of OF JSH's simplification of Charbile's script:

Code:
plotscript, choose four party, begin
  team menu
  while (room in active party) do (
    show text box (5) #this box should explain that you need 4 party members
    wait for text box
    team menu
  )
end

Wow! Thanks for the revisions, TMC and James! I tried them all, but I think I'll use the one James provided. XD Just in case people hold onto the [esc] button during team party, which for some reason, causes an infinite loop and crashes the game. Surprised Thanks everyone!
