At the end of the event you want to happen (picking up the berry for example) runs the Script pbSetEventTime via the Script command on page 3.

Create a new event page with Event Switch A on (the script will automatically turn the switch on). In there put whatever you want in there (Message saying "The berry tree is empty" or something like that).

On the third event page set the condition to 'Switch "s:expired?&&tsOff?("A")" is ON'. Set the run type to Autostart. The script should read (as the notes.html says)

Control Self Switch: A =OFF
Script: setTempSwitchOn("A")

This will check whether it's been a day and sets the event back to event page 1.

I hope that helps.

@victorspvl

Depending on what kind of event it is you have a couple of ways of running this.

If it is a part of an already running script (i.e. if a character checks your party out and says something different if they find Celebi) then you can put this:

Conditional Branch:Script: pbHasSpecies?(251)
-- Stuff to happen when Celebi is in party

Else

--Stuff to happen when Celebi isn't present.

End

The Script part of the conditional branch is (I believe) on the last page of options for it. Just put that script in (with 251 being Celebis Pokedex/pokemon.txt number)

If you only wanted an event to start if Celebi was present then the easiest way I can think of is to have a Parallel Process check whether Celebi is present and if it is, set a switch ON and have your character/cut scene to be dependant on that switch.

If anyone else can think of an easier method for the second option then kudos.

Ok, i have a question. I would like to know how to make an event that starts a battle with a wild SHINY pokemon, you know like the red gyarados in gold/silver. How would i accomplish that?

Wild Pokemon battles can be started using the function pbWildBattle (located in the PokemonField script section). The default implementation, however, doesn't support having a shiny Pokemon battle. It is easy to add such functionality, however. In the script section Pokemon Field, add the following just before line 218, the one that reads "wildpoke=[genwildpoke]":

Code: 
    if $game_switches[10]
      genwildpoke.makeShiny
    end

Assuming you use switch number 10 (as above), a wild Pokemon battle with a shiny Pokemon will begin if switch 10 is set to ON.

Example:

Code: 
@>[COLOR="#FF0000"]Control Switch: [0010] = ON[/COLOR]
@>[COLOR="#808080"]Script: pbWildBattle([/COLOR]
 : [COLOR="#808080"]     : ::PBSpecies::GYARADOS,30,1)[/COLOR]
@>[COLOR="#FF0000"]Control Switch: [0010] = OFF[/COLOR]
@>[COLOR="#008000"]Comment: If won[/COLOR]
@>[COLOR="#0000FF"]Conditional Branch: Variable [0001] == 1[/COLOR]
  @>
 : [COLOR="#0000FF"]Branch End[/COLOR]
@>[COLOR="#008000"]Comment: If escaped[/COLOR]
@>[COLOR="#0000FF"]Conditional Branch: Variable [0001] == 3[/COLOR]
  @>
 : [COLOR="#0000FF"]Branch End[/COLOR]
@>[COLOR="#008000"]Comment: If caught[/COLOR]
@>[COLOR="#0000FF"]Conditional Branch: Variable [0001] == 4[/COLOR]
  @>
 : [COLOR="#0000FF"]Branch End[/COLOR]
@>

EDIT: Example fixed.

Hey everyone,

I have a question about pokémon essentials.
It goes like this: i use the 'teleport' command in an event, and i get this:
a ring of light appears around my character, and the rest is black (kinda like if you enter a dark cave in the pokémon games),
and after i take a few steps, i get this error:

Party 1 has no Pokemon.
PokeBattle_Battle:73:in `initialize'
PokemonField:182:in `new'
PokemonField:182:in `pbWildBattle'
PokemonField:387:in `pbOnStepTaken'
Game_Player*:591:in `update_old'
Walk/Run:25:in `update'
Scene_Map:98:in `update'
Scene_Map:95:in `loop'
Scene_Map:108:in `update'
Scene_Map:64:in `main'
Scene_Map:61:in `loop'
Scene_Map:68:in `main'
Main:56:in `mainFunction'
Main:45:in `pbCriticalCode'
Main:59:in `mainFunction'
Main:63
Main:62:in `loop'
Main:71

Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Thanks in progress!

It's because you're walking around a cave with no Pokémon. When you'd find a Pokémon normally, you get the error.

Try changing the target of the Teleport event, or give the player a Pokémon.

Actually, I get the feeling you haven't changed the Encounters.txt and Metadata.txt files - read Notes.html and change them.

poccil, where did you learn to script RGSS? I'm really really interested in learning another coding language, and am fluent in HTML and CSS, and proficient in C, C# and PHP.

PM me the reply, so it doesn't clutter up the thread.

hitsugaya if u got rmxp illegaly u wont get a lot of support here or anywhere

u can use it by doing the following

tsukuuru is basically the same thing

If you are using RPG Tsukuuru XP in Japanese and you cannot open the project, then open Game.rxproj in Notepad and change "RPGXP 1.02" to "RPGXP 1.01" or, if necessary "RPGXP 1.00", then save the file.

but i really suggest going out n buying rmxp or

poccil, I left you a PM about something. Also, I don't want to have to replace my starter kit. How would I implement cries? Is there a page of the scripts I need to edit, or a page I need to add?

@Lorem

If you're trying to add a cry for a new Pokemon then you need to name it XXXcry.wav, where xxx is the number of the Pokemon in pokemon.txt/the Pokedex. If you're trying to make a pokemon use it's cry during an event then you can just play the sound effect in the event.

If you're trying to make the pokemon use it's cry in one of the menus then you will have to edit the scripts.

That's why I asked about the SCRIPTS, because I need to use it in the battle; I know about cries.

The following function can play a cry for a Pokemon species:

Code: 
def pbPlayCry(species)
 pkmnwav=sprintf("Audio/SE/%03dCry",species)
 Audio.se_play(pkmnwav,100,100)
end

It can be used in a Script event command like this:

Code: 
pbPlayCry(PBSpecies::SNORLAX)

No, I don't think you understand me. I don't need an event, I want the cries assigned to each Pokémon, so that when they go into battle, as in actually IN the battle, you would hear their cry as they get sent out.

The newer releases already play cries during battle as you requested, at least since the November 23 release
