Single Screen Day-Care Checker Item

FL · Apr 14, 2012

A single screen Day-Care Checker (like in DPP Pokétch) activated by item. This displays the pokémon sprites, names, levels, genders and if they generated an egg.

Link

Tested on Essentials v13, v19.1, v20.1 and v21.1. If this script isn't working on latest Essentials version, please inform on this thread.

This is gnarly. It is like the PokeTech with the DayCare App, but better!

Seriously, how have I not seen this. Fantastic addition. Certainly a wonderful idea. I'm going to try out the script a little later on, but definitely something well needed. Great work.

Nice job FL. I briefly skimmed your post, and you said its activated via Item, is there a way to change it to activate it via button? I was and still against having a DS screen but I like the idea of a side screen so I am planning to implement that and this would be a nice additions.

Yes! In Scene_Map, before 'Scene_Map' add

Code:

   if Input.trigger?(Input::A)
      unless pbMapInterpreterRunning? # Only works if none event command is running
        pbFadeOutIn(99999){ 
          scene=DayCareCheckerScene.new
          screen=DayCareChecker.new(scene)
          screen.startScreen
        }
      end
    end

The 'Input::A' activates when "Z" key is press. You can change it to other key.

You can also change the

Code:

pbFadeOutIn(99999){ 
          scene=DayCareCheckerScene.new
          screen=DayCareChecker.new(scene)
          screen.startScreen
}

to a function/scene if you want to a function/scene be called in game map when some key is pressed.

It's an awesome script :D

However, when I try to test my game, it says that "Theres no value in line 216 for ItemHandlers"
How could I fix it ?

I remove a extra ',' in '# 631,DAYCARESIGHT' line, maybe is it. Besides this, it is working on newer versions.

Thanks, It works perfectly now!

thank you for this managed to get it working as an app for my pokégear

I updated the topic with new script that works in different screens resolutions, plus male/female symbols.

Hi Everyone,

I decided to incorporate this amazing script into my game. I had to make a few adjustments because of the updates since it was written. It seems to be all correct but when I open it in the bag there is no "use" function. So in other words there is no way to actually use the item. The code is below along with the modified Item handles. Any Help would be wonderful. Thank You.

I tested my script right now on V16 and the only thing that need adjust is item, change '631,DAYCARESIGHT,DayCare Sight,8,0,"A visor that can be use for see certains Pok?mon in Day-Care to monitor their growth.",2,0,6' to '631,DAYCARESIGHT,DayCare Sight,DayCare Sight,8,0,"A visor that can be use for see certains Pok?mon in Day-Care to monitor their growth.",2,0,6'. I updated this thread.

Okay I tried changing back to the orginal script and changing the items.txt. It doesnt work at all. The item handles had to be rejiggered and there is several inconsistencies in the naming. In some places its DDC and in others it DCC. I was able to get it back to the Bag but when you try to us it from the bag there is still no "use" function. so how exactly is this supposed to be activated???

Never mind I got it working. I changed DCCITEM in the handles to the actual internal name of the item and it worked.

Hey FL. In my game, I have a custom egg sprite that is unique to each Pokemon species. How would I need to change this script to make it so that my custom egg sprite is what shows up as the graphic instead of the default egg sprite?

Change line '@sprites["egg"].setBitmap("Graphics/Battlers/egg")' into '@sprites["egg"].setBitmap(getEggBitmap(getBabySpecies))'. Before line 'def genderString(gender)' add:

Code:

def getEggBitmap(species)
  bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%segg",getConstantName(PBSpecies,species)) rescue nil
  bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03degg",species) if !pbResolveBitmap(bitmapFileName)
  bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/egg") if !pbResolveBitmap(bitmapFileName)
  bitmapFileName=pbResolveBitmap(bitmapFileName)
  return bitmapFileName
end

  mother=nil

If I wanted to call the scene using a button via mouse what would I use to do so? The method I assumed didn't work:

Code:

  if $mouse.leftClick?(@sprites["DCC"])
        clockButtonAnim(@sprites["DCC"])
        pbFadeOutIn(99999) { 
           pbDayCareCheckerScene 
        }
     end
   end

I'm not the most skilled at coding, everything I know is just me studying the wiki and code in the essentials kit and learning that way.

You are calling the script wrong, since the item call it with three line inside of pbFadeOutIn, do the same. The below code may works.

Code:

if $mouse.leftClick?(@sprites["DCC"])
  clockButtonAnim(@sprites["DCC"])
  pbFadeOutIn(99999){ 
     scene=DayCareCheckerScene.new
     screen=DayCareChecker.new(scene)
     screen.startScreen
  }
end
