When the battle starts two of my heroes get the same grafics. I precise that I'm talking about 2 different heroes and that there have correctly joined the party through plotscripting.

What is strange is that it does not happen all the time.

Has anyone saw something like this?

Ok! I've made some reasearch and it appears that my hero (sailor jupiter) does not get the good battle grafics after saving. She gets
the battle grafics of Sailor Mercury. (As you may remember, I'm working on a Sailor Moon game.

But the number of palette and pictures grafics are correct. This "bug"
may happen because

1) tag makoto is unactive
2) script ends too early (but then why would jupiter get new battle grafics.

You are not using "find hero" correctly. The position of the hero is just thrown away and then you use the hero's ID number where you should be using the position. Instead, store the position in a variable

[bis_senchi]

So I was wrongly use the command "find hero"... Well it's a very
interesting to know...

I've put all the "if check tag" commands in the same script (the save game script). How can I prevent the scripts from ending too early.

For example the tag minako and ami are on but the script ends after Minako's tag has been checked turned on...

Any idea?
As always thanks for help and suggestion!

I think we need a bit more info. How exactly is this script called? Is it a load-game script? Or does it just get called when a hero saves? Does Usagi get his (or her, I don't know anything about Sailor Moon) pictures changed correctly? Are there any other scripts trying to run in the background (a map autorun script perhaps, or maybe a looping keypress script)?

The script is the save game script. There is a problem with only one hero
Makoto chan. She gets Amy's grafics after the player saved the game.

That is very odd. If I understand you right, you are saying that everyone's pictures change (as they should), but in the case of the final hero, it changes to the wrong picture and palette. The only thing I can think of right now is you may have a problem where you have more than one hero named the same thing in custom (as in having various copies of the same hero). This might be causing your problem. To help debug, I would suggest changing the order of your heroes in the party and seeing if that changes who is getting the wrong picture. Similarly, try changing the order of your plotscript (check sailor jupiter first, and then sailor moon, and so forth). Let us know if any of this changes anything, or if you do in fact have heroes assigned the same name in custom.

Thought I'd throw this in. If you have several sets of heroes with the same name, things can get a bit confusing if you swap out heroes and unequip.

Let's say you have three copies of Jackson. The HSI file reads it as Jackson, Jackson2, and Jackson3.

So say you unequip Jackson, then add Jackson2, swap out and lock Jackson, so only Jackson2 is in your party.

Now when you try to unequip Jackson2, if you say unequip Jackson2, it does not work. It reads Jackson2 as simply Jackson. But adding Jackson3 and swapping out Jackson2, you can say to swap out and lock Jackson2.

But when unequipping, you have to say Jackson. Weird?

I'm sorry, but I want to make sure we all understand exactly what is going on. Tell me if any of the following is incorrect:

1. This script is called ONLY when a player saves their game, and is ALWAYS called when they save their game (I'm not sure if this is even possible. Are you sure you don't mean it is called when they load a previously saved game?).

2. You have used James Paige's script EXACTLY as he typed it.

3. When the script is called, all of the heroes change to the correct picture and palette, EXCEPT Makoto Chan. Makoto Chan changes to picture 5, palette 26 (just like Ami).

4. None of this is noticable until you enter a battle (because all of the pictures and palettes involved are for inside battle).

This may be some kind of bug, but I think we need to be sure all of 1-4 is true first, and it might help to see the entire script. If (1.) is true, I am also interested in how you did that. There is no 'save-game' script in custom that I am aware of. Do you only allow the player to save at save points, and then have those save point NPCs link to this script? That is the only method I can think of off the top of my head.

Ok some answers.

1 The save game script is called one time when I speak to the npc that looks like a save point

2 I've tested the script that James wrote but nothing change when I test. Moreover, hspeak says that :

That is not what James said to do. You have the following:

My question may be stupid but : " How do I use a hero variable?"

Where can I find my heroes variable?

Thanks for the help!

It's not a "hero variable," it's a variable named "hero."

Stated differently, your (corrected) code might look like this:

[bis_senchi]

Ok! Sorry to ask that but "are you sure it is the right way to write commands?"

I've tested with variable(banana) and when I compile, hspeak.exe says
