Critical Capture question

desbrina · Jul 5, 2016

I've modified the critical capture system so that it can be activated by switch, so when the switch is active a critical capture is guaranteed.

The code is modified as follows

Code:

          if USECRITICALCAPTURE && pbRandom(256)<c
            critical=true
            shakes=4
          elsif USECRITICALCAPTURE && $game_switches[CRITICAL_CAPTURE_SWITCH]
            critical=true
            shakes=4
          else
            shakes+=1 if pbRandom(65536)<y
            shakes+=1 if pbRandom(65536)<y && shakes==1
            shakes+=1 if pbRandom(65536)<y && shakes==2
            shakes+=1 if pbRandom(65536)<y && shakes==3
          end

Now the capture is working, the ball shakes once, the pokemon then gets released from the ball, and it shows the gotcha! pokemon was caught message

I don't know if it happens in an unedited version since i've never had it trigger

From my experience, yes. This does happen in the unedited version of the game based off the times I did get a critical capture during testing. I think this got fixed in the most recent version, 16.2, but I'm not sure if it works properly or not, as I've never gotten a successful critical capture. They usually break out after the ball shakes for me.
