Editing the Pokédex

Hi,
I'm working on my first game and I'm trying to edit the pokedex in such a way so you can not only check if you own a pokemon, but also can check if you currently own a pokemon (so all the pokemon in your boxes and your party). All pokemon that you've traded, released or evolved are currently marked as "owned" even if you don't own one at the moment. For those who remember, this was in Stadium 2 also: htt p://imgu r.com/jddCPKN (remove spaces as I'm not allowed yet to post links)

So I want
-a normal red/white pokeball if you have that species in your boxes/party
-a grey pokeball if you once have onwed that species
-a white box if you only have seen that species

I've edited this on the PokemonPokedex script:

This:

I've changed into this:


(I know it only checks the boxes and not the party, but I'll do that later)

and this:

Spoiler:

class Window_Pokedex < Window_DrawableCommand
def initialize(x,y,width,height)
@pokeballOwned=AnimatedBitmap.new("Graphics/Pictures/pokedexOwned")
@pokeballSeen=AnimatedBitmap.new("Graphics/Pictures/pokedexSeen")
@commands=[]
super(x,y,width,height)
self.windowskin=nil
self.baseColor=Color.new(88,88,80)
self.shadowColor=Color.new(168,184,184)
end

into this:

Spoiler:

class Window_Pokedex < Window_DrawableCommand
def initialize(x,y,width,height)
@pokeballInBox=AnimatedBitmap.new("Graphics/Pictures/pokedexInBox")
@pokeballOwned=AnimatedBitmap.new("Graphics/Pictures/pokedexOwned")
@pokeballSeen=AnimatedBitmap.new("Graphics/Pictures/pokedexSeen")
@commands=[]
super(x,y,width,height)
self.windowskin=nil
self.baseColor=Color.new(88,88,80)
self.shadowColor=Color.new(168,184,184)
end

Offcourse I've also placed the right images in the right folders.

When I try to test it, it gives no error, but when I open the Pokédex the game crashes.
No error or error log, just not responding.

Any idea what I've done wrong?
Any help is appriciated
P.S. sorry if my English isn't good, it's not my first language.

This is creating an endless loop for you. You don't even need the while here.

Thanks,
I've changed my it and now it doesn't crash, but it only show's me a grey pokeball even when I've that species in my computer.

To be honest, I don't really understand why $PokemonStorage[j]"has to be put infront, but it works now exactly as I'd like it.
(I only had to change it into: $PokemonStorage[j] && $PokemonStorage[j].species==species)
So thank you mej71 and Maruno, my problem is solved.

Code:

for i in 0...$PokemonStorage.maxBoxes
  for j in 0...$PokemonStorage.maxPokemon(i)
    if $PokemonStorage[i][j]==species
      hasinbox=true
    end
  end
end

I really suggest you to use a 'break' line after 'hasinbox=true', since there's no meaning for continuing searching something that you already found. I also suggest for creating a boolean array with all species that you have in the box rather than checking the ENTIRE box storage for every single line. You earn a lot in performance.
