People are playing my dungeon "the Wine Merchant's Basement" and like real users they're doing stuff you don't expect.
Therefore my question: Is there some way to disable the players switching around?

I don't think that can done, but I'm pretty sure you can make scripts that are more fool-proof so even if the player has switched you can check for it with things like checking the character names at first and then searching for the names, searching for nil, etc

Guess I'll do that, thanks!

There is a getOrdinal() method for the champion. The ordinal is guaranteed not to change whatever the player does to the champs:

Champion:getOrdinal()
Returns champion’s ordinal index between 1 and 4. The ordinal index is an unique identifier for the champion. It is guaranteed that the ordinal index never changes after character creation.

I did a fix which might qualify for the most dirty solution ever .

In the onMove() and onTurn() event of the part I check the position of the party and use party:swapChampions() to reset them to the intended position.

But hey, it works!

Also, I'm playing your mod.. with Toorum because I'm a dirty cheater mwahahah.
However, I'm stuck at the ogre where you stare the flame and die . If I ever get after that point I'll let you know how it behaves with Toorum as first character.

So that you know:
with Toorum it works, but "additional help" is dead characters. Still useful for teh extra inventory though.

BTW:

Will let you know if I get stuck because of the Toorum choice. Nice mode anyway! I'm enjoying it a lot. And thanks for your help
