[Scripting Question] Damaging version of Spite?

BlowDryGuy · Sep 9, 2016

I'd like to make a damaging version of Spite.
I tried using this:

class PokeBattle_Move_188 < PokeBattle_Move
def pbAdditionalEffect(attacker,opponent)
for i in opponent.moves
if i.id==opponent.lastMoveUsed && i.id>0 && i.pp>0
pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
reduction=[4,i.pp].min
i.pp-=reduction
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It reduced the PP of {1}'s {2} by {3}!",opponent.pbThis(true),i.name,reduction))
return 0
end
end
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
return -1
end
end

But I just get an error message upon using the move.

Can you post a screenshot which contains a report of that error?

Try this code:

Code:

class PokeBattle_Move_188 < PokeBattle_Move
 def pbAdditionalEffect(attacker,opponent)
   [COLOR=Red]ret=-1[/COLOR]
   for i in opponent.moves
      if i.id==opponent.lastMoveUsed && i.id>0 && i.pp>0
        pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
        reduction=[4,i.pp].min
        i.pp-=reduction
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It reduced the PP of {1}'s {2} by {3}!",opponent.pbThis(true),i.name,reduction))
[COLOR=Red]        ret=([/COLOR][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Red]@basedamage>0[/COLOR]) ? super(attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation) : 0[/COLOR]
      end
    end
    [COLOR=Red]@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!")) if ret==-1[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=Red]return ret[/COLOR]
  end
end
