Common:MegaEvolution

you will have to make the animation in the editor

ZioCricco · May 8, 2015

Thanks a lot!
I have another problem with the megaevolution, when my pokèmon megaevolve againsts a wild pokèmon the megaevolution don't reverse in the next fight!
Why?

Luka S.J. · May 8, 2015

This might be an issue in the previous iteration of Essentials. I can confirm this issue does not exist in v15.1.

ZioCricco · May 8, 2015

I just updated to v15.1 but the problem remains... i use your elite battle!
And the only thing thai i've modify in the script of the wild pokemon is for this: http://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:VS._animation_for_event_Pokémon_encounters

Luka S.J. · May 8, 2015

The Pokemon revert out of their Mega form in both my battle system, and the stock Essentials one. There is something you're doing that is interfering with the scripts.

ZioCricco · May 8, 2015

It only happens with the wild battle, i really don't know What could be... There is nothing that I can try to do?

Luka S.J. · May 8, 2015

You haven't told us all the changes you made to your system, and to what extent. It might be the wild VS sequence thing, it might not. What you can always try to do is revert to a clean copy of Essentials, and carefully start migrating your other functionality in. But the error is definitely on your side, because stock Essentials users don't experience this.

ZioCricco · May 8, 2015

Thanks Luka S.J. i've tried to cancel the script of the vs animation and now the megaevolution reversing correctly!
I have a last question , is possible add a symbol next to the bar hp like the symbol of the megaevolution but for a specific Pokemon ?

James Davy · May 11, 2015

Yes, it is. I already managed to get that working for the fan game I'm working on.

In PokeBattle_Scene, def refresh there is a bit of code that causes the mega evolution icon and the shiny icon to show up in the HUD that looks a bit like this:

Code:

if @battler.isMega?
  imagepos.push(["Graphics/Pictures/battleMegaEvoBox.png",@spritebaseX+8,34,0,0,-1,-1])
end

Adding similar code with an image file of your own will make it possible. All you need to know is how to make a form and species check.

ZioCricco · May 11, 2015

Really thanks! There is a guide for make a form and species check?
For example IF i Wanna create a new species like The shiny pokemon... How can i do?

James Davy · May 11, 2015

This is how you check for species in def refresh:

Code:

if isConst?(@battler.species,PBSpecies,:SHAYMIN)

This code in particular returns true if the battler is a Shaymin. The first argument is an object in the PokeBattle_Battler class.

To check for shininess, the function isShiny? in the PokeBattle_Pokemon class will return true if it is. For example:

Code:

if @battler.pokemon.isShiny?

Checking for form is easy as objects in both the PokeBattle_Pokemon and the PokeBattle_Battler classes have an attribute called form that can be checked as follows:

Code:

if @battler.form==1

This checks if the object's form (referred to inside the class) is equal to 1.

The following code returns true for a shiny Sky Forme Shaymin:

Code:

if isConst?(@battler.species,PBSpecies,:SHAYMIN) && @battler.form==1 && @battler.pokemon.isShiny?

Of course, the battler objects will be referred to differently depending on which class you're working in.

Creating a new species of Pokémon involves adding an entry to the pokemon.txt file in the PBS directory. Just copy and paste an existing entry and alter the data as you see fit. The wiki will explain it better.

Thanks James!
I've tried to put this code in the section PokeBattle_Scene after the code for show the mega icon but when i found a wild shaymin the simbol doesn't appear!

Code:

 if isConst?(@battler.species,PBSpecies,:SHAYMIN)
      imagepos.push(["Graphics/Pictures/battleMegaEvoBox.png",@spritebaseX+8,34,0,0,-1,-1])
    end

James Davy · May 11, 2015

There are no closing square and round brackets in that piece of code before the end statement. Also, make sure the image file being referred to actually exists in that path.

ZioCricco · May 11, 2015

I use the elite battle by Luka S.J. maybe is for this!

ZioCricco · May 11, 2015

I solved the problem!
But is possible call an animation for a particular species of pokemon?
For example when a wild weedle appears the animation common:Weedle start. It is possible?

James Davy · May 11, 2015

Yes, it is possible. All you need to do is use similar coding to the shiny sparkle animation calls.

In PokeBattle_Scene, def pbStartBattle, add the code in blue:

Code:

      # Show shiny animation for wild Pokémon
      if @battle.party2[0].isShiny? && @battle.battlescene
        pbCommonAnimation("Shiny",@battle.battlers[1],nil)
      end
      [COLOR=Blue]if isConst?(@battle.party2[0].species,PBSpecies,:WEEDLE) && @battle.battlescene
        pbCommonAnimation("Weedle",@battle.battlers[1],nil)
      end[/COLOR]
      if @battle.party2.length==2
        if @battle.party2[1].isShiny? && @battle.battlescene
          pbCommonAnimation("Shiny",@battle.battlers[3],nil)
        end
[COLOR=Blue]        if [/COLOR][COLOR=Blue][COLOR=Blue]isConst?(@battle.party2[1].species,PBSpecies,:WEEDLE)[/COLOR] && @battle.battlescene
          pbCommonAnimation("Weedle",@battle.battlers[3],nil)
        end[/COLOR]
      end

For the animation to show, make sure it exists. The blue code calls an animation for a wild Weedle, but you can adapt it to any species by changing the third argument in the blue isConst? codes
