Enemy (Monster) Capture & Random Level Encounters

[Seph989]

I'm in a bit of a pickle... I've been creating a "Pokemon" clone for a little while now, and although I'm an intermediate script editor, I fail at scripting from scratch and have no idea where to begin with a capture system...
I also have an issue with how I'm going to go about spawning random level monsters... :-/

My idea is maybe calling the monsters from the heroes-list... The monsters start at hero #5 and end at hero #255. The enemy encounters will spawn a random level monster off the area monster list. (Maybe defined in an event on the map?) The capture script could use global variables (MonCap1, MonCap2, etc.)...

Beyond that, I have no clue... I'm open to ANYTHING that will work, aside from creating 99 (lvls) monsters for each monster. ':|

I would greatly appreciate any help/attempt at these scripts, and although I have nothing to offer in return, you will MOST DEFIANTLY receive complete credit for the scripts and a big spot in the game credits.

THANX~ Seph

I created a script a while ago which made enemies get their stats from the actors. I also combined it with my transformation script which allowed me to transform into enemies directly.
I've edited it a bit so it works more like I think you want it to:

class Game_Enemy < Game_Battler
  
  def get_stats
    for i in 5...$data_actors.size
      if $game_actors[i].name == self.name
        return $game_actors[i].stats
      end
    end
    return [1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]
  end
  
  def base_maxhp
    return get_stats[0]
  end
  
  def base_maxsp
    return get_stats[1]
  end
  
  def base_str
    return get_stats[2]
  end
  
  def base_dex
    return get_stats[3]
  end
  
  def base_agi
    return get_stats[4]
  end
  
  def base_int
    return get_stats[5]
  end
  
end

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler
  
  def stats
    return [self.base_maxhp, self.base_maxsp, self.base_str, self.base_dex, self.base_agi, self.base_int]
  end
  
end

Just name the actor the samething as the enemy, if two have the same name let me know and I can make it id based or something. You can change the actor's levels to increase the level of the enemy (well the stats).
Hope that helps.

Error: Line 6, Undefined Method 'stats' for Game_Actor:0x1690508

Do I need the SDK for this?

--Edit--

Nvm... I tried this again with the SDK.
Help?

Sorry I missed a bit of code (the section in game_actor):

class Game_Enemy < Game_Battler
  
  def get_stats
    for i in 5...$data_actors.size
      if $game_actors[i].name == self.name
        return $game_actors[i].stats
      end
    end
    return [1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]
  end
  
  def base_maxhp
    return get_stats[0]
  end
  
  def base_maxsp
    return get_stats[1]
  end
  
  def base_str
    return get_stats[2]
  end
  
  def base_dex
    return get_stats[3]
  end
  
  def base_agi
    return get_stats[4]
  end
  
  def base_int
    return get_stats[5]
  end
  
end

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler
  
  def stats
    return [self.base_maxhp, self.base_maxsp, self.base_str, self.base_dex, self.base_agi, self.base_int]
  end
  
end

I see. Well, then... That should help.
Thx You~

Now all I need is a capture system. ^^

hey Fomar0153, That script you posted earlier, what exactilly is it? when you say Transformation does this meen you transform into the enemy? Im not sure if your familiar with Pokemon or the Games but there is one called Ditto. He transforms into the pokemon he is battling. Is this pretty much the same or am I completely off?

 

[Fomar0153]

I said I combined it with my transformation script, combined you can have a ditto effect being as enemies are defined in the actors section of the database and my transformations script allows actors to transform into eachother.

oh ok, thanks. I'll use this then.
