Issue with Hero Swap In/Out

Hey guys,

Having a little issue with one hero not wanting to swap in our out of the party via scripting. Here is the code:



Everything works exactly as needed, with the exception of the swap in/out with Alan. He remains in the party regardless of everything I've tried. I thought a "wait for all" before the "fight formation" might help, but it didn't. I also tried calling him by using find hero, but that doesn't work either.

I double checked the HSI file and it shows his name as hero:Alan, so I think I'm good there...any suggestions?

It is impossible to ever have zero heroes in the party, so if you try to swap out the last hero in the party, the swap out will just be ignored.

You can work around this problem just by changing the order of your swapping

Makes sense! Thanks for pointing that out, James

FWIW, this is pretty unintuitive, and it's not hard to think of cases where the author will want to swap the entire party. It'd be nice if removing the last hero in the party put it into a "limbo" state, where the hero would be discarded if another hero gets added before the next tick and reinserted otherwise.

One way that I like to handle swapping is to manage specific slots, rather than just swapping out and in.

For example, suppose my part consists of 6 heroes, and I don't know which ones the player has swapped in via the Team menu.

I have a special battle that should be fought by three specific heroes with the fourth slot empty, so how do I handle the swapping before the special battle?



But I do like your suggestion, Mogri. Allowing an empty party briefly would be more intuitive.

(also, yay "Disable html in this post"!)

I like that suggestion too. I think it would be safe.

Recently I suggested that we should add a "set party" command which sets all party slots at once
