Most effective way to switch characters

[Warmachine]

In my game i'll be having a total of 4 playable characters, 1 main character and 3 to switch back and forth between when finding them. Using internal flags works great but when i try using alterable values i can't switch back to the main character. The problem i run in to is when using internal flags you just have the on and off function, that's why i tried the alterable value approach, activating and deactivating groups when they are at a certain number. Does anyone know of any other approaches to this that would be more effective or simple?

- 1 alt val that holds the number of the active player,
- when a key is pressed, add 1 to your alt val (make sure to limit this value or make it 1 if its bigger than 3) then you activate a group that will make the current alt val the playable character, then you disable the group.

You give little details, so adjust to your needs.

Lol sorry about that i've tried what you have mentioned, basically the way i have each group set up is that each has its own "character switch" value number. Example, main player is 0, second player is 1, etc. Each have their own value added to each group. I have an event set for when you press Spacebar and the "character switch" equals 0 - add 1 to the alt value. This will deactivate the default group and activate the next players set. This should work but for some reason im not having any luck, that's why i was hoping there was another alternative to doing what im trying to go for.

Protip: When you press the button and add one to the value, replace the add one with Set Value to (Value + 1) mod Number_of_Characters and it will cycle back to the first one when you get to the end (as long as your first character is 0)
