Implementing Inverse Battles?

    Has anyone determined how to do Inverse Battles? I figure you would just turn on a switch, then check for that switch in a script, but I do not know what all to affect in scripts.

    Inverse battles seem a waste of time, even the makers of XY couldn't be bothered to make a full range of battles about it...

    Search: effectiveness=0

    It will only return 1 result, so don't come back with "I don't know what you mean!", "I couldn't find it!", "There's no such thing... But I did find wally!"... Change the section directly below it:
    Code: 
          if opponent.damagestate.typemod<4
        effectiveness=1   # "Not very effective"
      elsif opponent.damagestate.typemod>4
        effectiveness=2   # "Super effective"
      end
    To this:
    Code: 
          if opponent.damagestate.typemod<4
        if $game_switches[[COLOR="Red"]x[/COLOR]]
          effectiveness=2
        else
          effectiveness=1   # "Not very effective"
        end
      elsif opponent.damagestate.typemod>4
        if $game_switches[[COLOR="red"]x[/COLOR]]
          effectiveness=1
        else
          effectiveness=2   # "Super effective"
        end
      end
    Change the "x" to a switch number of your choice.
    I'm pretty sure that's all you need to do and I'm sure you can work out the rest.

    Hm. That only seems to work partially. It makes the opposite "sound" when damage is done, but that is it. It does the same damage based on effectiveness.

    It's not meant to do what you said, there's more to it than what I put... You can work it out through those lines though...

    typemod
    effectiveness

    ...are what you need to focus on, however, a simple search on typemod results in a fair few results and I was not going to go through every one of them to insert switch x... I'm sure you can look at it now and work it out for yourself.

    Yeah, I found typemod when I was searching around, but I couldn't get them to all work together. I guess I'll have to tinker some more.

    Thanks!

    EDIT:

    I found out a much simpler fix:

    Code: 
        if $game_switches[[COLOR="Red"]x[/COLOR]]
      inmod1=mod1
      inmod2=mod2
      mod1=3 if inmod1<2
      mod1=1 if inmod1>2
      mod2=3 if inmod2<2
      mod2=1 if inmod2>2
    end

    Placing that after lines 202 203 in PokeBattle_Move:
    Code: 
        mod1=PBTypes.getEffectiveness(atype,otype1)
    mod2=(otype1==otype2) ? 2 : PBTypes.getEffectiveness(atype,otype2)

    Switches everything nicely.
