NPC lets you past only if your party passes a type restriction check

chaosnatat · Jan 8, 2015

Hello, I've found a slight block in my attempts at game making (If this has already been posted by someone else, I apologize as I couldn't find one)

I'm trying to make an event where a person only let's you pass if all the pokemon on your team are of a specific type (Also looking for an enforced monotype challenge in the game)

But I can't work out what to put in the event.

I don't believe something like this exists yet, though I believe the code below should do the trick.

To use this in events; add a conditional branch, look on page 4 and type the following in the script section;
- To check if the player has a fire Pokémon in the party add: "pbTypeInParty(:FIRE) > 0"
- To check if the player only has fire Pokémon in the party add: "pbTypeInParty(:FIRE) == 2"
For any other type just replace "FIRE" with that type (make sure it's in all caps and not to remove the ":").

Add the code below to the bottom of PokemonUtilities;

Code:

# by Function which checks if the player has pokemon of a type in the party;
# returns: 0 if not, 1 if some, 2 if entire party
# use in conditional branch script; "pbTypeInParty(:FIRE) > 0"
# by Badhaas
def pbTypeInParty(type)
  magicnumber = 0
  for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
    magicnumber += 1 if $Trainer.party[i].hasType?(type)
  end
  if magicnumber > 0
    magicnumber = 1 if magicnumber < $Trainer.party.length
    magicnumber = 2 if magicnumber == $Trainer.party.length
  end
  return magicnumber
end

NOTE: Copying code from the PokéCommunity forum might still be broken, to get the correct code use 'Threat Tools' and click on 'Show printable version'.
