Battery Warning?

[master game maker]

Hello, I'm requesting a script for a thing that pops up when the computers battery gets low. If it is impossible, I understand.

What:Battery Warning
Why:I know that the computer says it, but for the Pokemon Game.
Details:Like in Pokemon Games, when your GB/A or DS, when your battery is low it says "Your Battery is low. Want to save?" and then yes/no comes up, and yes it says "Saving..." (And it saves), if "No", then it says "You may loose all of your progress if you don't save. Sure?" "Yes"=Dun save. "No"=Save.

Payment:Er..None, sorry. Credit in my game though!

Is this simulated or in an actual laptop battery? If so, I think it is impossible.

Meh, nothing is impossible. Keyboard and mouse input was done, why not battery power? And real clock has been made, interaction with a C+ program and Ruby program etc etc...
I believe anything can be done in RGSS.

This function I wrote, called pbBatteryLow?, checks battery power.

def pbBatteryLow?
 power="\0"*12
 begin
  sps=Win32API.new('kernel32.dll','GetSystemPowerStatus','p','l')
 rescue
  return false
 end
 if sps.call(power)==1
  status=power.unpack("CCCCVV")
  # Battery Flag
  if status[1]!=255 && (status[1]&6)!=0 # Low or Critical
    return true
  end
  # Battery Life Percent
  if status[2]<5 # Less than 5 percent
    return true
  end
  # Battery Life Time
  if status[4]<300 # Less than 5 minutes
    return true
  end
 end
 return false
end

In Pokemon Essentials (my Pokemon functionality suite), the following code can be used.  It uses the pbBatteryLow? function above.

class PokemonTemp
  attr_accessor :batterywarning
end

Events.onMapUpdate+=proc {|sender,e|
 if !$Trainer || !$PokemonGlobal || !$game_player || !$game_map
 elsif Time.now.sec==0 && !$PokemonTemp.batterywarning && pbBatteryLow? &&
    !$game_player.move_route_forcing &&
    !$game_system.map_interpreter.running? &&
    !$game_temp.message_window_showing
  $PokemonTemp.batterywarning=true
  if Kernel.pbConfirmMessage(_INTL("The game has detected that the battery is low.  Would you like to save the game now?"))
   pbSaveScreen
  elsif Kernel.pbConfirmMessage(_INTL("You may lose your progress if you don't save.  Would you like to save now?"))
   pbSaveScreen
  end
 end
}

So that script is in your Pokemon Essentials?

Er, Already?

No, I just created it a few minutes ago.  It is meant to be added to a new script section in any project using Pokemon Essentials.
