Custom Follower Count

I created this simple RPG Maker MV plugin after reading a forum post asking if there was a plugin to change the number of visible followers on the map. While I'm sure there are probably multiple plugins in existence that can achieve this, I thought I would try my hand anyway. 

Plugin Parameters

Starting Follower Count: You can use this parameter to set the number of followers displayed on the map.

-NOTE-

This plugin will initially  override the editor option to show followers or not, you can still show/hide followers through the event command.

Script Calls/Plugin Commands

Script Call

$gamePlayer.followers().setFollowerCount('x');

This script call can be used to dynamically change the follower count during the course of the game.  Replace 'x' with a number between 1 and the number of available followers. Let's say you have 12 total party members: 

$gamePlayer.followers().setFollowerCount(4) - This would set the number of followers to 4, you'd have 5 party members total showing on the map.

If you use a value greater than the total number of available party members, total available members will be used instead:

$gamePlayer.followers().setFollowerCount(20) - This would set the number of followers to 11, since that is the total amount of available party members. All 12 of your party members would be displayed on the map.

Plugin Command

SetFollowers X 

This plugin command functions exactly as the script call. Replace 'x' with a number between 1 and the number of available followers.

SetFollowers 4 - This plugin command would set the number of followers to 4.

If you use a value greater than the total number of available party members, total available members will be used instead:

SetFollowers 99 - This command would show either 99 followers, or the total amount of available followers, whichever is lower.

-NOTE-

One last thing to remember, using either of the supplied commands to reduce the number of visible followers down to 0, while modifying the follower count, also hides the followers, as if you had called the corresponding event command.
