I have created a script which makes each of the heros in my caterpillar party switch to "climbing sprites" which makes the characters look as though they are climbing. The problem with my script is it is dependent on the which slot each hero is in. For example: if John is in slot 2 he will become JohnClimbing when the script is carried out but if John is in slot 3 he will become SallyClimbing when the script is carried out.

Could someone show me a way I could alter my script or define each character in such a way that I can directly reference them and change their sprite in a more intuitive way?

Here's my current script:

The first argument to the "set hero picture" command is the position in the party, not the hero ID number, so you should try something like this:

plotscript, ladder mount, begin
set hero picture (find hero(0), 6, outside battle)
set hero picture (find hero(1), 8, outside battle)
set hero picture (find hero(3), 9, outside battle)
end

the "find hero" command takes a hero ID number and searches for their position in the party.

Thank you, this solves all the issues I was having.
