Status Inducing Weather not working

Black Temple Gaurdian · May 3, 2016

When I try this, I get a NoMethodError. I'm guessing this is because i.pbParalysis isn't a thing, but I don't know what to replace it with.

Code:

   when PBWeather::TESLASTORM
      @weatherduration=@weatherduration-1 if @weatherduration>0
      if @weatherduration==0
        pbDisplay(_INTL("The air returned to normal."))
        @weather=0
        PBDebug.log("[End of effect] Ionized weather ended")
      else
        if pbWeather==PBWeather::TESLASTORM
          PBDebug.log("[Lingering effect triggered] Ionized weather damage")
          for i in priority
            next if i.isFainted?
            if !i.pbHasType?(:ELECTRIC) &&
               !i.pbHasType?(:GROUND) &&
               !i.hasWorkingAbility(:LIGHTNINGROD) &&
               !i.hasWorkingAbility(:STATIC) &&
               !i.hasWorkingAbility(:MAGICGUARD) &&
               !i.hasWorkingAbility(:OVERCOAT) &&
               !i.hasWorkingAbility(:VOLTABSORB) &&
               !i.hasWorkingAbility(:MOTORDRIVE) &&
               !i.hasWorkingItem(:SAFETYGOGGLES) &&
               ![0xCA,0xCB].include?(PBMoveData.new(i.effects[PBEffects::TwoTurnAttack]).function) # Dig, Dive
              @scene.pbDamageAnimation(i,0)
              if i.status==0
                PBDebug.log("[Lingering effect triggered] #{i.pbThis}'s Ionize")
                i.pbParalysis
              end
              pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} is shocked by the air!",i.pbThis))
              if i.isFainted?
                return if !i.pbFaint
              end
            end
          end
        end
      end

PokeBattle_BattlerEffects: Line 323

Code:

def pbCanParalyze?(attacker,showMessages,move=nil)
#[...]
def pbParalyze(attacker,msg=nil)

You should check if it can be paralyzed first with the first method, then call i.pbParalyze(nil, _INTL("{1} is shocked by the air!",i.pbThis) or just i.pbParalyze(nil) for the normal text.

_{Having the scripts all copied to disk for easy searching is amazing. :P}

EDIT: Also, if your storm isn't reducing HP, the call for a faint check isn't needed.

i.pbParalyze works fine, thanks, but I'm having trouble figuring out pbCanParalyze.
pbCanParalyze?(attacker,showMessages,move=nil) throws up an error that, I think, translates to "What is attacker?"
pbCanParalyze?(nil) simply fails to compile.

What I pasted are the definitions of the methods. You're supposed to fill in your own values...

In your case, you probably want

Code:

pbCanParalyze?(nil,false)

The false tells the method that you don't want things like "But it failed!" printed if it can't paralyze the pokemon.

I figured as much, I just couldn't work out what to put. My knowledge of ruby is entirely deductive at this point.
Thanks.

EDIT: that's still producing:
Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `pbCanParalyze?' for #<PokeBattle_Battle:0xd968898>

EDIT 2: Went out on a whim and stuck i. in front of it. Works now.

Glad you worked it out. I keep going into these questions about coding various things with the assumption that if people are messing around with the code, they generally know or can figure their way around the language. I realize that's probably not always a safe assumption to make, so sorry about that. :/

You can search all script sections with Ctrl+Shift+F, if you weren't aware.

I wasn't aware of that back when I took an hour to copy all the scripts off to disk. I found out accidentally later. Even still, using Sublime Text to search and have open a dozen files to cross reference is still far superior to what RMXP's script editor gives us. Now if only I could edit in Sublime and have it affect my project...
