I replaced all of my merged all of my guest units with join and/or enemy units to free up space for new jobs. Today I ran into a problem that I expect will be a problem in the future too.
Specificallly. I changed all of the Gafgarion 17's to Gafgarion 11's and they no longer join the party. Now when I bring the new job that occupies job 17 to Dorter Trade City 2, he deliver's Gafgarion's lines instead. If I don't bring them Gafgarion 11 deliver's his lines as he should. I did not change the unit ID's by the way.
How do I fix this?

I cannot even BEGIN to try to bugtest this... You haven't posted anything script wise for us to look at. I've been event editing for a long time now and what you said there doesn't make sense, simply because events don't work that way.
You need to put the script for the event in quest here.
And while you are at it, post a screenshot of the Unit in question in the ENTD.
I'll get you a screen shot but I should make it clear, I haven't modified the script at all. Just fftpatcher. For some reason when I bring a unit with job 17 into that event he delivers gafgarion's dialogue instead even though I've switched everything around correctly.

No offense, but that's clearly not the case :oops:
Something is causing this to happen, which means something wasn't changed or imported correctly.
None taken. I'm just happy there is someone to talk to about this. Here is a copy of my fftpatcher file if you'd like to look at it the ENTD for Dorter 2.
The two screenshots below are of Rad delivering Gafgarion's lines and then Gafgarion appearing out of thin air after the battle begins.
Edit: the screenshots feature the fft complete script but I have tested this without a clean vanilla script and the problem persists.
Jack, you didn't post your event script. Ill need that as well
That's because I didn't change it. Even though the screen shot features WotL script this happens on a clean vanilla script too.
What made you think this would work without editing the event script?
I'm very confused here, being what you just said as well as

From what I understand, you changed nothing?
All I did was edit the jobs and the entd. Somehow that is causing the event to get messed up. I included the patcher file if you want to see the entd file yourself.
Of course the event is messed up. The event is symbiotic of the ENTD. If you change one, you must change the other.
Angel is correct, you need to edit the event to reflect these changes.
It's weird though. It works just fine when I don't bring that character into that battle. I guess my next question is, where do I start?
You'd start by doing what I originally asked. Post the event script and SCREENSHOTS of THAT character in the ENTD.
You posting files don't help with teaching you what you did wrong. Especially when it's easier for me to point and say,
this = wrong. Needs be this.
What's weird is that the text defaults to Gafgarion when the Dark Knight isn't in your party. I'm honestly surprised at that, and don't remember that ever coming up in event peculiarities before. Either way, you need to change the event so that new Gafgarion is the one speaking, and not your repurposed job.
And belatedly: Alt+PrintScreen is your friend. Captures the active window and not the full desktop, so you don't need to crop your images.
Its actually not that wierd Toshiko, its come up in the past, I was just given the resources to fix it much earlier on. Which is why i need him to pastebin the event script and screenshot Gaffy's ENTD settings
Yeah, xifi explained it to me as a possible failsafe from programmers who couldn't remember unit IDs. Still, I don't remember this happening at all.
Yeah that's what im thinkin. Which kinda like how when you call a dialogue in most cases if the unit isn't there,
itll show the chapter 1 ramza port. Or it could be something else entirely like them being derps and setting the portriat via either a event command or through attack.out.
I managed to fix the event problem guys. I swapped around the jobs so Gaffgarion's and other special characters' old jobs can't be obtained by the player until after their final scenes are over. Thank you so much for your time.
Okay, next time you need help, just post the damn info though, this coulda been solved 2 freakin days ago.
I'm sorry. I just didn't understand why you needed it. Now that I do, you'll be sure to get it straight away next time.
I just find it comical that this is under Event Editing, despite no events being touched, before or after. Glad it's solved, if in an odd way.
I put it under event editing because, at the time, I was sure that's where the only solution would be found. Thanks for your time guys.
Wouldn't it have been wiser to post this under "Help!"? There's next to no one that can event on FFH and I'm sure someone else has attempted this before.
