[Pokéstarter Kit - Question]: Pokémon following character

[ArthurMaker]

Hello!

I have a question.
I would like to know how to do it for a selected menu of Pokémon Pokemons walk behind the Hero / Heroine, as in the remake.

Example:
You Take the option on when I select a Pokémon on my team in the Menu of pokemons. Next select the option and leave the menu. The Pokémon commeça selected me to follow. When I do not want to follow me no more Pokémon, I pokemons from the menu again and choose a Pokémon who is walking behind me. Instead of appearing to follow option now appears not to follow. Select this option, leave the menu disappears and the Pokémon back to the Hero / Heroine.

I ask for you to help me solve this question.
Thanks already!
Goodbye!

First, this question doesn't require a new thread. Post all questions regarding the starterkit in the Starterkit thread. Second, the following the character thing is fairly easy to do in events.However all the "caterpillar" scripts out there for rmxp will not work with Essentials due to the fact that Essentials doesn't use the basic actor calls, etc.

[ArthurMaker]

Hum .. Sorry, did not know ...
But still, someone can solve my question?

Note: I will post my question on the topic.

Actually, since late 2008, they changed the dependent-event script in Pokemon Essentials.
A dependent-event can now follow you outside of the map.

About how to make a menu on the pokemon party screen I don't know, xP

I'm a RGSS Newbie, lol

I know that, but it is still a partner, and it enters battle with you, I suppose that can be fixed with a bit of scripting, but IMO its too much hassle.

[tImE]

I know that, but it is still a partner, and it enters battle with you, I suppose that can be fixed with a bit of scripting, but IMO its too much hassle.

No, it only adds a partner if you want to.
Check this:
pbAddDependency2(@event_id,"Brawly",2)
pbRegisterPartner(PBTrainers::LEADER_Brawly,
"BRAWLY")

pbAddDependency2(@event_id,"Brawly",2) adds a follower.

pbRegisterPartner(PBTrainers::LEADER_Brawly,"BRAWLY") adds a partner trainer.

If you only use the first one, then you can sort of have a Ash-Pikachu follow event.

[venom12]

You can just add this
pbAddDependency2(@event_id,"Brawly",2)
Change "Brawly" to yours pokemon id and pokemon will follow you

[ArthurMaker]

This does not ...
I found a bug when I tested.
The hero / heroine can not use the surf ...
Somebody help me!

[Alexandre]

You can just add this
pbAddDependency2(@event_id,"Brawly",2)
Change "Brawly" to yours pokemon id and pokemon will follow you
Yeah, but this still causes a problem with the fact that you need an event on each map :/

[Surf]

You don't need the event on another map, it's a common event.

[Alexandre]

You don't need the event on another map, it's a common event.
Oh. I learnt something today :D

and what do you mean by the pokemons ID?

[Vaskituh]

Plus the thing is, even with we do use the Dependency, we still need a Menu that lets us choose our partner, or that it automatically goes grab the current sprite of the First Pokemon on the Team. We already got the Sprites thanks to a Rip from HGSS, but we still need the Script.

Someone please help ?

Your script currently looks like:
pbAddDependency2
(@event_id,"Brawly",2)As the error message suggests, try moving the open brackets to the end of the first line, like so:
pbAddDependency2(
@event_id,"Brawly",2)A pokémon's ID is the index number it has. For example, in a default game, Bulbasaur is 001, Ivysaur is 002, Pikachu is 025, Arceus is 493, etc.

[jackofalltrades]

hmm this seems interesting enough. I like the idea of having the option of having it follow or not, but for my script i'd need it a bit more specific... ie one event pokemon would have the option to follow

[SpawnHyuuga]

So what if we don't have that specific pokemon? Will the script check for it? I have to admit this is awesome if this will work, but how do we make it so the game behaves like normal all HM's usable, unable to follow if it's not present in the party? or ability to have the first slot only follow, this small code snippet confuses me.

[Meowth]

The problem with this script, and I have it in MSB and you can try it yourself, is that the following pokemon is glitchy. If you run, it lags behind and will run through buildings if you go far enough ahead and turn.

Also, it likes to hop over event tiles, even if nothing's active on it.

thats definatly not good lol

[Meowth]

Indeed. Only Peter himself could work up a real caterpillar script that functions with his pokemon system, since he knows his own code.

Oh my...
That my friend is amazing!
Who knew it could be made with just 4 lines of code!
This is going in my game for sure, i'll be sure to add you in the credits list :)

[SpawnHyuuga]

Help-14, you wouldn't happen to know how to make like an "options" event where the player can set how many poke'mon to have following them. Like maybe one player wants 1, another wants 3, and another doesn't want any...

Also, how do I make it so the sprite, doesn't sit at the plot and make the point more obscure where it can't be seen? Just extend the map sizes a little and make it like (1,0,0)

BTW: Thanks you VERY much for the overworld pokemon sprites. I've been looking for like a year now and haven't found anything!

Wow, that's awesome! Only problem I see is when turning certain ways, the second character behind jumps a lot. (when two pokemon are behind, such as would happen in MSB)

Mate i get this error when trying your script.

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6865/pokewi.jpg

What can i do ?

[Shikamaru88]

The catapiller script posted is easy to do if you study ruby you'll know that you guys should try reading beginners articles, books and/or tutorials ruby is easy to learn and quite fun too... and the menu thing i dont quite get what your asking: are you asking, for a menu that allows you to change the pokemon following you? or are you asking for a switch to chose when the pokemon is following you and when he is not. if you want the switch that doesnt require a script but will require you add alot of events, but scripting is always less work in the end. And FYI anyone can script n improve policci's starter kit, its not perfect but it is stable n basically everything you need to make a standard pokemon game...

[ayevdayev]

my pokemon walks behind the dependent event how do i make it walk on the dependent event?

Did you make a dependent event before change first pokemon ?

[Vaskituh]

Yeah, anyway it only happens when i try to change the pokemon inside a house for some reason

[poccil]

The way dependent events are implemented, the events are not added to the map's event array but rather stored in an internal array. I've improved the dependent events system in the current version and added the following function:

pbGetDependency(name) - Returns a Game_Character object associated with the dependent event with the given name. Returns nil if the dependent event doesn't exist.

Does that mean that we could use move route events with the follower even off the map it was implemented on, or not?

[help-14]

Here is the new version.

Step 1: Remove old script (or replace it with script in step 2). Creat a dependent event name "Dependent"

Step 2: In PokemonScreen find (line 1300)
next if havecommand

Done. What's news in this version ? When change Pokemon, new pokemon don't run away, A few edit, you can make 4 pokemon follow you, easy change number of following pokemons, ... . Now I am testing it.

[Ty 101]

I am happy to see that this thread is still going.
I haven't posted in awhile but there is now an actual script available.
(Thanks for that by the way)
I don't know whether I'll use it or not but if I do I might add some stuff.

[help-14]

Updated how to install v1.1

[Vaskituh]

Theres still one problem mate, when a pokemon evolves, the overworld char that's following doesn't automatically change, also, when you first receive a pokemon in the beginning it doesn't automatically start following you.

Can that be fixed too mate ?

[help-14]

oh, fix it is very easy. Here is demo video of next version, what do you think ?

bgqyp0frfOc

[Vaskituh]

So you will fix it mate ?

Also i noticed another bug, whenever i don't have a pokemon following me i can enter all the houses, but when i have a pokemon following me i can't seem to enter some of the houses, but the code is the exact same for all the houses except for the fact that it teleports to different places obviously

The video looks GREAT mate, you are awesome :D

[Peeky Chew]

If every glitch is fixed in that code I'll certainly be using it.
Just gotta learn RGSS first...

[Birdybot]

I get this error when I try to switch Pokémon using your most recent script;

Script 'DependantEvents' line 450: NoMethodError occurred.

undefined method 'x' for nil:NilClass

I think it's because I don't really know what you mean by creating a dependant event because I'm such a total noob. Help?

[help-14]

Pokemon Following Character v2.0 is out ! Before read anything, watch this video.

Step 1: Remove old Script. Extract this to Graphics Folder: http://mediafire.com/?0lvu4zbnuzg (If don't have)

Step 8: In map where player will receive pokemon, creat 6 event name Dependent0, Dependent1, ..., Dependent5. It’s ID must over 200. Why ? Because the script has a bug, when change pokemon graphic, events with same id with dependent events will be remove. Total number of event in your map can’t over 150 so It’s ID must over 200.

Step 9: When receive pokemon, add this script:
http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w222/pokemonfan14/EditEvent-ID142.jpg

creat_6_dependent_event

Step 10: Create a common Event with triggle: Parallel, Condition Switch is a On Switch.
Add Script like this.

Step 11: Edit Script created in step 2. Enjoy !!!

Thanks alot for this an all, but could you help me with this?
I get an error when switching pokemon,

maybe you did not have enough dependent even.

[Crazyninjaguy]

Ok well i'll try adding more :)
Thanks.

[Vaskituh]

Mate i am not understanding the Step 8 and 9.

The thing is, how can i make the ID over 200 ?

http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/2699/semttulo123.jpg

Also on Step 9, do i add that script where ?

And where do i put this ? "creat_6_dependent_event" ?

Thank you, GREAT work !

Also please explain how to do step 11, and what do you mean with change script of step 2 ? I don't understand a thing mate

[help-14]

for example in step 8. you copy a event 206 times. then use events from 201 to 206. remove events from 1 to 200. in step 9. when you receive first pokemon (example from professor oak) add this script below script receive pokemon (pbaddpokemon or something like that)

tommorow i will upload video how to install.

[Vaskituh]

Also please explain how to do step 11, and what do you mean with change script of step 2 ?

I don't understand a thing mate :(

[Crazyninjaguy]

Wow 206 times...
You'd only have to do this once though right?
I'll wait for the video though so i don't mess it up :p

[Vaskituh]

I get this two errors now :(

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/2699/semttulo123.jpg

and

http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/275/semttulo124.jpg

The thing that i think i didn't do right was from Step 8 to Step 12 :(

[Crazyninjaguy]

That's the exact same error i got.
I'm clueless 0_0

[Birdybot]

I tried it, and it failed. The Pokémon didn't follow, and it fails when I try to add Pokémon or switch Pokémon.

[Crazyninjaguy]

Guess we'll have to wait for Help-14 to fix it :/
I went back to using the version from before but some other stuff failed with that one lol

[help-14]

I update how to install v2.0. In step 11, you must config these script:

###########################################
#### Config Script For Your Game Here ####
###########################################

Animation_Come_In = 447 #<= ID of Animation When Pokemon Come In PokeBall
Animation_Come_Out = 446 #<= ID of Animation When Pokemon Come Out PokeBall
Default_Following_Pokemon_Number = 1 #<= Default Number Of Following Pokemon
Pokemon_1_ID = 142 #<= ID Of Event Use To Make First Pokemon, Should Over 200
Pokemon_2_ID = 143 #<= ID Of Event Use To Make Second Pokemon, Should Over 200
Pokemon_3_ID = 144 #<= ID Of Event Use To Make Third Pokemon, Should Over 200
Pokemon_4_ID = 145 #<= ID Of Event Use To Make Fourth Pokemon, Should Over 200
Pokemon_5_ID = 146 #<= ID Of Event Use To Make Fifth Pokemon, Should Over 200
Pokemon_6_ID = 147 #<= ID Of Event Use To Make Sixth Pokemon, Should Over 200
Common_Event_1 = 3 #<= ID of Common Event When You Talk To First Pokemon
Common_Event_2 = 3 #<= ID of Common Event When You Talk To Second Pokemon
Common_Event_3 = 3 #<= ID of Common Event When You Talk To Third Pokemon
Common_Event_4 = 3 #<= ID of Common Event When You Talk To Fourth Pokemon
Common_Event_5 = 3 #<= ID of Common Event When You Talk To Fifth Pokemon
Common_Event_6 = 3 #<= ID of Common Event When You Talk To Sixth Pokemon

The number after "=" is for my game, you need edit it to accord with your game

[Vaskituh]

Yeah, but the thing is, it still gives errors :(

Including on the Step 9, 10, 11, and 12 mate

[Klofkac]

That is interesting script. I'll use it.

[help-14]

I found Problem, I forgot 2 step.

Extract this to Character Folders (replace if need): http://www.mediafire.com/?lwyyt0ttink
Copy this to Animations Folder: http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=nhnyzmgnuwm
Import two animations: http://www.mediafire.com/?wdg33wgfhqk and http://www.mediafire.com/?iuutxjfynen
If you don't know how to import, read in here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=200575

Try install again, sorry I can't upload install video today. I'll Upload It in Monday.

Help would be appreciated.

[help-14]

it's because you do not have enough event to dependent or you did not config script which has created in step 2

[tImE]

it's because you do not have enough event to dependent or you did not config script which has created in step 2

I have added 6 dependent events with ID 201, 202, 203... etc.
And changed the script from step 2.
And it still gives me the same error...

Here is my event too;

Delete script "Kernel.PbAddDependency2(201,"Dependent0",003)" and it will work.

It says it's too long, so maybe you should break it down into several shorter videos.
