[Scripting Question] Coding an Ability version of Destiny Bond

Mutant Yoshi · Aug 19, 2016

I've been trying to create an ability that has the effects of Destiny Bond, but for some reason, it's not working at all whenever I try to test it out.

Code:

if target.isFainted?
        destinybond=destinybond || (target.effects[PBEffects::DestinyBond] [B][COLOR=Red]|| target.hasWorkingAbility(:FAINTINGSPIRIT))[/COLOR][/B]
      end

This is one of the lines of code I've edited.

Code:

if target.hasWorkingAbility(:FAINTINGSPIRIT,true) && @battle.pbRandom(50)<3# && target.pbIsOpposing?(user.index)
        @battle.pbDisplayEffect(target)
        PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{target.pbThis}'s Fainting Spirit")
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s {2} took {3} down!",target.pbThis,PBAbilities.getName(target.ability),user.pbThis))
        user.pbReduceHP(user.hp)
        user.pbFaint # no return
        @battle.pbJudgeCheckpoint(user)
      end

And I've added this section after Destiny Bond's code. Basically, the ability's supposed to have a 50% chance to make the attacker faint if the target with the ability faints, but so far, it hasn't worked at all.

@battle.pbRandom(50)<3 means that a random number from 0 to 49 must be less than 3 - a 6% chance of happening. You probably haven't triggered it yet.

For a 50% chance, you want something more akin to @battle.pbRandom(100)<50 or @battle.pbRandom(2)==0

Also, for testing purposes, comment out any random factors. Make it so it always happens, just to test that it works as expected, then add in the randomness.

Oh, I see. That makes sense. Thanks for telling me how this worked.
