summon monsters? Are you talking bout them espers?

Check for summoning tutorials, I'm pretty sure we got a couple.

I did. Nothing I saw Was quite what I needed or couldnt help past where I have gotten on my own.  Forgot to mention that Im using rpgm2k3.

SO, you want to replace all your party members with one party member who is the summon/esper?

Just add a battle command that removes all the party members and add that new meber who actually is the summon.
Then increase a variable or something for everytime the summon uses an action and have the party members return again when that varaible reach the value you want( value= 6 if you only want it for 6 turns for example).

What about explaining the issue a bit more if this doesn't help?

What Im trying to do is Just add the summon tho the party. Im only gonna have three people in my party at a time and the summon take up the fourth slot. I have worked it out where i can summon the monster and everything works fine. The issue Im having is that if the summon dies, the next battle he will still be dead. i have tried using common events to bring him back after the batlle, but nothing has worked yet.

Hmm, have you tried to sneakily add him to the party and do a "Complete heal" on him and then remove him?
Just after the battle or when he dies.
Or at the beginning of a battle. It should work. A quick event with "add party member: Summon"  Complete healing : summons", "remove party member: summon".

And I think that a common event would work as long as it's a parallel process.

It works now. Thanks. I really appreciate all your help. The complete heal worked, i just did it as he was summoned. The only issue i have now is that when i re-summon him in the next battle, he still is in the death pose. He is still alive and everything, just looks funny till he gets hit.
