    Okay, so this shows how the BGM changes if the player's Pokemon are on low health, similar to the Gen 5 games.
    Note that this requires Luka's Elite Battle System.

    Step 1: In EliteBattle_Scene, inside the function pbStartBattle, add this line:
    Code: 
    $lowHPbattle=false

    Step 2: In EliteBattle_UI, inside the function update, below this:
    Code: 
    @animatingHP=false if @currenthp==@endhp
    Add these:
    Code: 
    if (@battler.index==0 or @battler.index==2) && (@currenthp<=(@battler.totalhp*0.2) && !(self.hp<1)) && $lowHPbattle==false
        $game_system.bgm_memorize
        pbBGMPlay("lowhp-gen5.mp3")
        $lowHPbattle=true
      end   
      if (@battler.index==0 or @battler.index==2) && (@currenthp>(@battler.totalhp*0.2) or @currenthp<=0) && $lowHPbattle==true
        $game_system.bgm_restore
        $lowHPbattle=false
      end

    What to fix next: if the HP is low at the very first turn of the battle, the BGM won't change.

    Neat, although I'll try to translate it to my vanilla battle system. Shouldn't be too hard, I hope.

    • I myself tried to do this, it was somewhat good for 1vs1 battle but not in double battle, and I ran into some glitches too :p

    I'll try your code asap. Thanks for sharing!

    • So I tried your script and you have the same problem as me. Get a pokémon (with yellow / green bar) in a battle and make sure you take little damage (using lot of moves like growl or battling a weak pokémon). You'll reach the point when your HP bar becomes red but the BGM won't immediately change. It will after losing 1-2 more HP. Looks like there is a difference between the HP bar and the actual HP value used by the script to determinate when the BGM should change.
    When I tried, I based my changes on the color change, but the same problem happened...

    It might work if you play around with the math and conditionals a little, but I haven't implemented it just yet to try this out.

    Is this still a thing?

    Step 2: In EliteBattle_Battle, inside the function pbStartBattleCore, below this:
    Code: 
        #====================================
    # Initialize player in single battles
    #====================================
      sendout=pbFindNextUnfainted(@party1,0)
      if sendout < 0
        raise _INTL("Player has no unfainted Pokémon")
      end
      playerpoke=@party1[sendout]
      @battlers[0].pbInitialize(playerpoke,sendout,false)
      if getBattlerPokemon(@battlers[0]).namex != nil
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go! {1} and {2}!",getBattlerPokemon(@battlers[0]).name,getBattlerPokemon(@battlers[0]).namex))
      else
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go! {1}!",getBattlerPokemon(@battlers[0]).name))
      end
      pbSendOut(0,playerpoke)
    end
    Add these:
    Code: 
    if (@battler.index==0 or @battler.index==2) && (@currenthp<=(@battler.totalhp*0.2) && !(self.hp<1)) && $lowHPbattle==false
        $game_system.bgm_memorize
        pbBGMPlay("lowhp-gen5.mp3")
        $lowHPbattle=true
      end   
      if (@battler.index==0 or @battler.index==2) && (@currenthp>(@battler.totalhp*0.2) or @currenthp<=0) && $lowHPbattle==true
        $game_system.bgm_restore
        $lowHPbattle=false
      end

    Still known issue: if using a healing item on your Pokemon, the music doesn't change back until your Pokemon is hit again.

    The new update appears to have broken the ability to check for low HP and change the music. I have two trainers that cause the music to change when their ace is sent out - one changes to a different track and the other slows the music down tremendously - and those work fine, but for whatever reason I can't change the music based on my own HP.

    I think we're going to have to wait for the OP to figure out the new update.

    I'm not getting any errors and yet it's not working. I have EBS essentials with BW essentials.
