Ability effects when switching out?

    • So I re-watched the most recent OR/AS trailer (the one that shows off Desolate Land and Primordial Sea) and immediately started to experiment with things (including adding two weather types for each of these abilities, but I digress). So I managed to get all the effects of the abilities in, expect the feature where the harsh sunlight/heavy rain stops when Groudon/Kyogre are switched out, respectively. I looked through Essentials to see if I could see any abilities that had an effect when switching out, but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know how I could add such an effect to Essentials?

    Take a look at regenerator's code:

    Code: 
    if @hp>0 && @pokemon && isConst?(self.ability,PBAbilities,:REGENERATOR)
      self.pbRecoverHP((totalhp/3).floor,true)
    end

    You just need to put your code inside the def pbInitialize in PokeBattle_Battler. Then just set the weather to 0 and it should work.

    • So something like this, then?

    Code: 
    if !isConst?(self.ability,PBAbilities,:DESOLATELAND)
      @battle.weather=PBWeather::NONE
      @battle.weatherduration=-1
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The harsh sunlight faded!"))
    end

    ('NONE' is just something I used as a no weather thing. I'm still quite a noob at all this... -_-)

    EDIT: Whenever I use that code, I get an error, but when I drop the '!', nothing happens.

    Error:

    I think there isn't a "none" weather in-battle, so you may need to create it (I have never created new weathers, so I don't exactly know how they work, but it should be something like this):

    Go to the script section PBWeather and create a new one like this:

    Code: 
    NONE      = X

    Where X is the next weather number you haven't used.

    Now, your code should be this:

    Code: 
    if isConst?(self.ability,PBAbilities,:DESOLATELAND)
      @battle.weather=PBWeather::NONE
      @battle.weatherduration=-1 # I'm not exactly sure about this line and how this works.
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The harsh sunlight faded!"))
    end

    • Ah, that works. Thanks again! And yes, I'd created the 'NONE' weather beforehand.
    (Also the weather duration is -1 because that basically means it stays for an infinite period of time, unless it's changed of course.)
