    • Before reading this, yes I have checked http://http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=321523. However it is not very though on where to put and where it is talking about, all I'm getting is errors.

    So here's my question:
    How in the world do you change Meloetta's Form when it uses Relic Song? Whenever it uses Relic Song, it only stays in its Aria form and it doesn't go to its Pirouette form at all.

    Thank you to any of those who answer.

    • Assuming you have the Gen VI pack here. They didn't actually fix Meloetta.



    Code: 
        if hasWorkingAbility(:STANCECHANGE) && self.species==PBSpecies::AEGISLASH
      if thismove.basedamage>0 && @pokemon.form==0
        @pokemon.form=1
        @battle.pbDisplayEffect(self)
        @battle.scene.pbChangePokemon(self,@pokemon)
        pbUpdate(true)
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Changed to Blade Forme!")) 
        PBDebug.log("[#{pbThis} changed to Blade Forme]")
      elsif thismove.id==PBMoves::KINGSSHIELD && @pokemon.form==1
        @pokemon.form=0

    For me, at least, line 2848 has to do with Black Sludge. So I don't think Relic Song has anything to do with it.

    Edit: just checked, in the untouched Gen VI Pack, line 2848 has to do with an accuracy check for multi-target moves.

    My line 2848 is actually just the end of the script.

    If you're getting a syntax error, and it's pointing to the bottom of your script, 99% of the time that means you've got an "if" or "for" or "case" statement that's floating around missing its "end". And unfortunately, I cannot help you find that, because I'd have to nitpick your entire PokeBattle_Battler script section.

    I'd recommend copy-and-pasting the script section into something like Notepad++ (and then telling it that your code is in Ruby). It should allow you to more easily find the source of the problem - which likely ISN'T on line 2848.

    Okay, but...... How can you tell which line has the error of Notepad++?

    Assuming your code is properly indented, there'll be a vertical line that we'll say starts at the bottom of your code, over on the left side. Follow that line all the way up, and you'll see the "if" or "for" or "while" statement that is missing the "end"

    I have checked every line on Notepad ++ and placed the "end" where I saw there was none, however, its still saying that there's a syntax error on the last line.

    Well, I found out the source of the problem and i can certainly help you with it
    first of all, the first line of it:

    elsif self.species==PBSpecies::MELOETTA && thismove.id==PBMoves::RELICSONG

    The only Syntax here is the first line, instead of elsif self
    you need to use "else if self.species"
    It would look like this:
     else if self.species==PBSpecies::MELOETTA && thismove.id==PBMoves::RELICSONG



    Spoiler:


    So pretty much all you need to do is change the first line and it would look like this:

    Spoiler:


    If not, try pasting the whole code right under the : def pbTryUseMove(choice,thismove,turneffects)

    This is absolutely wrong. else if would cause a syntax error. If you want to use else and if as separate commands, stick a semicolon between them.

    However, elsif is a thing in Ruby. That, at least, is correct.

    If you add extra "ends" you'll be able to avoid it being a syntax error, but it's unnecessary typing
    Code: 
    a=6
if a==4
  a=7
else if a==5
      a=8
    else if a==6
        a=9
      end
    end
end

puts a

    using elsif
    Code: 
    a=6
if a==4
  a=7
elsif a==5
  a=8
elsif a==6
  a=9
end
puts a

    Shorter, and much easier to read this way.
