Nim the Dialga:

The meaning of the additional effect chance field depends on the function code for the move (field 4).  For example, moves that deal just damage have a function code of 00.

 

[Wichu]

edit: one other question. It's about moves.txt. There's a field for a percent chance of an added effect, well how do you decide what that added effect actually is, whether its poison or confuse or whatever?

Here's a list of the possible values to put (credit to poccil... again):

[Nim the Dialga]

Thanks, but I didn't see the function codes on that page. All I see are these:
Name          Type        Damage Accuracy PP  Effect Target    Flags

Am I missing something?

 

[poccil]

The function code for a move is found before the description of a move's effect.  For example: "A7: Burns opponent." The function code here is "A7".

 

[Nim the Dialga]

I see it now. thanks! :D


oh I've got an interesting question. You know how you can have a multi double battle against two trainers if two trainers spot you at once? Well I want to have an event battle (meaning it doesn't happen by the player being "spotted") against two trainers (like in d/p the battle against two galaxy admins near where you fight the legend). Is there any way to call that? I've used "pbtrainerbattle" for calling a battle against one trainer but I've looked at the code and I have not seen a similar thing for calling a battle against two trainers.


If it helps here's the video of the event.

Currently it's just a single against one trainer but I want to make it a double with a partner against two trainers.

 

[A Forgotten Legend]

I have a problem. There is something in the script that doesn't let me use a switch after a battle.  Is it something that I'm doing?

 

[poccil]

Nim the Dialga:

Put the code below at the bottom of the script section PokemonTrainers.  It includes a method that does what you need.

def pbMissingTrainer(trainerid, trainername, trainerparty)
        traineridstring="#{trainerid}"
        traineridstring=getConstantName(PBTrainers,trainerid) rescue nil

         if Kernel.pbConfirmMessage(_INTL("Would you like to add this Trainer now?"))
            pbNewTrainer(trainerid,trainername,trainerparty)
         end
        else

The documentation follows:

To invoke a battle against two different Trainers, use the pbDoubleTrainerBattle function.

@> Conditional Branch: Script: pbDoubleTrainerBattle(PBTrainers::CAMPER,"Andrew",0,"ABC",PBTrainers::CAMPER,"Andrew",0,"DEF")
  @> -- Event commands to be run when the player wins
  @>
 : Else
  @> -- Event commands to be run when the player loses.  For example:
  @> Exit Event Processing
  @>
 : Branch End

The function's parameters are as follows:

    * Parameter 1: Trainer 1's Trainer type.
    * Parameter 2: Trainer 1's name. The Trainer type and Trainer name must be found in the Trainer data file.
    * Parameter 3. For Trainer 1, a number to distinguish Trainers with the same Trainer type and Trainer name. Specify 0 if there is only one such Trainer.
    * Parameter 4: Dialogue that Trainer 1 says when the player wins. This parameter should be wrapped in _I() (with a capital i), to support localization.
    * Parameter 5: Trainer 2's Trainer type.
    * Parameter 6: Trainer 2's name. The Trainer type and Trainer name must be found in the Trainer data file.
    * Parameter 7. For Trainer 2, a number to distinguish Trainers with the same Trainer type and Trainer name. Specify 0 if there is only one such Trainer.
    * Parameter 8: Dialogue that Trainer 2 says when the player wins. This parameter should be wrapped in _I() (with a capital i), to support localization.
    * Parameter 9: Optional. If true, the game will continue where the battle began even if the player loses the battle.

The important thing to note here is that each Trainer mentioned must have three or fewer Pokemon.

A Forgotten Legend:

Please explain further: where is the problem occurring, what kind of switch, and so on?  What you gave is not clear.

 

[Nim the Dialga]

Thanks a ton! It works! :D

@ A Forgotten Legend: If your problem is what I think it might be, all commands that happen after a battle is over go inside the battle's conditional branch.

 

[A Forgotten Legend]

There is no branch. ^^

When you put a switch operation after the battle`s coding it erases the switch when you start the game.  I'm trying to do something similar to the rival battles at the beginning of the games.

 

[Nim the Dialga]

Just so you know, all trainers battle calling codes should be conditional branches, so that things will be handled properly if the player loses. Although I'm pretty sure this is true, I will admit that I don't know anywhere near as much as poccil and that I could be wrong.

 

[vavalar]

I am a complete noob at starter kit so this is gonna be a really stupid question to everyone else but,

How do you put in battles? I've looked at the notes for pokemon essentials, but I still can't figure it out.

I would mostly like instructions for wild battles and trainer battles. Event battles would be nice, but I'm not nearly at that level yet...  :sad:

Thanks so much,
vavalar

 

[Nim the Dialga]

They're already programmed in sorta.

anywhere you place the grass tile can have wild battles, if you add a new map you must edit "game's folder/PBS/encounters.txt" in order for that area to have wild battles. For info on how to do this and/or how to put wild pokemon in caves, water, etc, look at "notes.html" in the game's folder.

for trainer battles, edit "trainernames.txt" and "trainers.txt" (see notes.html for more info on how to do this.). Then copy a trainer event and change it to be the trainer you want (character graphic, code, etc). And one last thing -  the name of the trainer event matters. name it "Trainer(#)" with # being a number which is the trainer's maximum vision (in tile spaces).

 

[hijack74]

Hi everyone!

Wow Poccil your kit is awesome.

I'm currently using it to make rather a large game encompassing 4 continents, ad was wondering how to add new badges, seeing as it says in the notes that it is possible to do.

Hoping you can help!

I'm still confused. Is there any scripts I need to have put in the script editor. cause when I made a trainer event and walked up to it, nothing happened...

 

[Nim the Dialga]

Your best bet is to copy a trainer event that came with the game and change it to your trainer. The comment commands DO MATTER! In fact, those are what make it a trainer event.
If you are using a trainer with "vision", leave the comments there and change them to be the trainer you want. If you are using a gym leader or other special type trainer that you talk to to battle, then delete the comments and use the other code that's there. Note that if the comments are there, NO OTHER COMMANDS IN THE EVENT WILL BE EXECUTED!

 

[vavalar]

I used one of the pre-made trainers. Ive done the name trainer(#). Ive put in the exact commands in the exact order shown in notes.html. But still nothing happens. your probably ticked off at me right now but I still dont get it. Is there any other commands I need to have in the event other than comments? I am just totally lost! *sigh*  :sad:

 

[Krobelus]

Did you make sure that the trainer event is activated by event touch?

-Krobe

 

[vavalar]

yes...

 

[Krobelus]

Then post your code here, or better yet, post a screeny of the event.

-Krobe

 

[vavalar]

I used one of the already made trainers in PBS/trainers. I just used the dialog from the example on notes.html. I also noticed that in PBS/bttrainers, there is also some set dialog. Do I have to use the dialog in there?

Heres my screen of what I have:
