I have tested it.
After defeating a wild Pokemon this message appears:

---------------------------
TEST GAME
---------------------------
Exception: NameError
Message: undefined local variable or method `expspeed' for #<PokemonDataBox:0x4da7ad8>

Thanks FL. Also me this script will be useful. :)

I got that too at first, you need to put a value here
"expspeed # exp speed here"

like this

expspeed=10 #exp speed here.

It should work now.

I am still unable to figure out where to put this @currenthp minus @endhp?

    if(opponent.damagestate.calcdamage>0) #test
      @battle.pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("{1} damage!",opponent.damagestate.calcdamage))
    end

I found a easier way to display the damage, in PokeBattle_Move, after line 'def pbEffectMessages(opponent)' add:

Code:

    if(opponent.damagestate.calcdamage>0) #test
      @battle.pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("{1} damage!",opponent.damagestate.calcdamage))
    end

Thank you. It is working but is there a way to move the damage amount to show on top of the Pokemon's sprite instead of in the message section?

Thanks,

Make the damage pop up from pokémon sprite in parallel that battle run? You need to edit several parts to do this right and start the animation and stop it in right time.

1,2-In PokeBattle_ActualScene change

Code:

    if @animatingHP
      if @currenthp<@endhp
        @currenthp+=1
      elsif @currenthp>@endhp
        @currenthp-=1
      end
      refresh
      @animatingHP=false if @currenthp==@endhp
    end
    if @animatingEXP
      if !@showexp
        @currentexp=@endexp
      elsif @currentexp<@endexp
        @currentexp+=1
      elsif @currentexp>@endexp
        @currentexp-=1
      end
      refresh
      if @currentexp==@endexp
        if @currentexp==PokeBattle_Scene::EXPGAUGESIZE

to

Code:

  hpspeed=4 # hp speed here, put 1000 for instantaneous
  if @animatingHP
   if @currenthp<@endhp
    if(@endhp-@currenthp<hpspeed)
     @currenthp=@endhp
    else
     @currenthp+=hpspeed
    end
   elsif @currenthp>@endhp
    if(@currenthp-@endhp<hpspeed)
     @currenthp=@endhp
    else
     @currenthp-=hpspeed
    end
   end
   refresh
   @animatingHP=false if @currenthp==@endhp
  end
  if @animatingEXP
   expspeed # exp speed here
   if !@showexp
    @currentexp=@endexp
   elsif @currentexp<@endexp
    @currentexp+=expspeed
   elsif @currentexp>@endexp
    @currentexp-=expspeed
   end
   refresh
   if @currentexp>=@endexp
    if @currentexp>=PokeBattle_Scene::EXPGAUGESIZE

3-Yes, use @currenthp minus @endhp.

if @animatingHP
      if @currenthp<@endhp
        @currenthp+=1
      elsif @currenthp>@endhp
        @currenthp-=1
      end
      refresh
      @animatingHP=false if @currenthp==@endhp
    end

if @animatingHP
      @currenthp = @endhp
      @animatingHP=false
    end

Yes. So I guess its a lot of work then, could you maybe direct me to some kind of tutorial where I may be able to figure out how to do it? I tried searching for a tutorial on how to write scripts but have had no luck so far. I am looking for something like the websites that show you had to do CSS or html. All I have been able to figure out so far is basic editing like moving things and changing some text.

Thanks,

if @damagenumber!=0
  do animation
  @damagenumber=0 if animation ended
end

Um.... What?

Would'nt it be more efficient to just change

Code:

if @animatingHP
      if @currenthp<@endhp
        @currenthp+=1
      elsif @currenthp>@endhp
        @currenthp-=1
      end
      refresh
      @animatingHP=false if @currenthp==@endhp
    end

to

Code:

if @animatingHP
      @currenthp = @endhp
      @animatingHP=false
    end

You probably need to create a variable to put the damage number and put a update method in 'def pbGraphicsUpdate', something like:

Code:

if @damagenumber!=0
  do animation
  @damagenumber=0 if animation ended
end

I made a guide that show how simple scenes works in essentials http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=286554. I can't link here to others forums, so I can't post links to RGSS tutorials. Try to find on google. Note that to you make this damage pop up effect you needs a certain experience with programming.

For question 1: Yes! I only pasted a code that I made to my game a long time ago to HP bar speeds up.
