Changing actor image

Hi Synrec, me again. No errors to report!

This time I have a functional issue. In my project, my characters sometimes use different sprites in different battles. In some battles they fight on foot, in others, they ride motorbikes for road battles. Previously, I just changed actor images at some point before the battle, and they would display as I wish. Now, because I set the actor character file and index in the plugin parameters, this overwrites whatever other actor image I may have set. I have tried to use events at the start of a battle to change the actor image but this doesn't work.  

Is there a way around this?

 

Perhaps there could be a way to override character index images in the Map parameters?

Actually, if I don't set a character file and index number under the actor parameters, it works and I can change the images. Are the overrides in the actor parameters optional, or might I encounter problems if they are not set?

For actors they are purely optional
