I just upgraded, but now I'm getting this error:

Exception: RuntimeError
Message: Undefined value in PBMoves (section 494, key Moves)

Can someone help?

Can some one finally answer this question, I've waited a week right now..
And I'm still not able to fix it myself..
Thanks in advance!

Hi again.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but when I use the autotile 'Sandy Dirt' it doesn't show up in game. I've tried on the lower and middle layer just to make sure, but nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?

@PoKéMaKeR: What did you add to the scripts? You probably won't be able to get any help with a problem like that unless you show what you've changed. At a guess (from a real amateurs perspective and presuming you're making a cut type move) you'll need something like this in PokemonField:

def Kernel.pbSNOWPLOW
if $DEBUG || $Trainer.badges[BADGEFORSNOWPLOW] #IF you need a badge to use the HM
movefinder=Kernel.pbCheckMove(PBMoves:NOWPLOW)
if $DEBUG || movefinder
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Your message saying that the HM could be used."))
if Kernel.pbConfirmMessage(_INTL("A would you like to use it message."))
speciesname=!movefinder ? PBSpecies.getName(0) : movefinder.name
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} used SNOWPLOW!",speciesname))
pbHiddenMoveAnimation(movefinder)
return true
end
else
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Your message saying that the HM could be used."))
end
else
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Your message saying that the HM could be used."))
end
return false
end

Then if you need a badge to use your HM you should define that at the top of PokemonField, in the same place that the other badges are defined.

BADGEFORSNOWPLOW = 4

4 Is just an example.

After that, you'll want to define some parameters for your HM. Look for def Kernel.pbCanUseHiddenMove?(pkmn,move) in PokemonField and put this in before the end.

when PBMoves:NOWPLOW
if !$DEBUG && !$Trainer.badges[BADGEFORSNOWPLOW]
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Sorry, a new Badge is required."))
return false
end
facingEvent=$game_player.pbFacingEvent
if !facingEvent || facingEvent.name!="Snow"
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Can't use that here."))
return false
end

The part from "facingEvent=$game_player.pbFacingEvent" to "return false" assumes that your character must be facing an event named "Snow" (minus the quotation marks) for the HM to work. You could change "Snow" to whatever you wanted to call the event.

I hope that my shot in the dark solves the problem.

Yes yes yes!!!
This works!!!
Thanks, I'm sooo happy!! :D
and about your problem.. i don't have the same problem
so I can't help you about that

[mad.array]

I'm glad to hear that it works. I've taken a look at your project and it looks like it could be one to keep an eye on.

Keep it up man.

[PoKéMaKeR]

hello, again
What terrain tags do you need to use to make a bridge..?
like if you move vertical over it you're on top and if you move horizontal under it, your're below the bridge
Thanks!
PoKéMaKeR

[Atomic Reactor]

I believe that there is already an example of bridges in one of the maps that came with the SK.
the bridge is blue incase that helps when you look

yes that's true i found it..
but i don't get it, can you explain it ?

[Atomic Reactor]

lol. i dont get it either. i never cared to use it. i jsut know that thats what you do.

put one of those events on one side and the other event on the other side..

idk

[PoKéMaKeR]

ah nevermind, I'll do just like you, leave the bridge out
thanks anyways!

[yaoimutt]

does anyone know how the new berry event works? because it's not in the note file and there are no images for it, so i'm a little confused...

[Jackreyes]

I have made all 5 sprites for some new pokemon and added their details to pokemon.txt but i try pbAddPokemon on one of the new ones from the professor and then the game gives an error saying cannot find pokemon #494 of 493

So I assume there is a file that says how many pokemon there are, so what is the file?

Thanks,
Jack

[mad.array]

@Jackreyes: Just having a quick look (I'm 'borrowing' a PC) I think the code you need to change is in the scripts section, under Compiler. You should find three instances of the number 493 (each of them saying something like:

for #random variable# in 1..493.

If I'm right you just need to change the 493 to your total number. If I'm wrong you need to change it back =P

I hope that sorts it.

[Jackreyes]

Thanks
I've now tried editing that,
and I think this is a different error message to before.

Sorry for being such a 'noob'
but I'm not that bright.

Anyone know the problem?
(also if anyone wants to fix it for me then pm me and i'll send the files)

Thanks again,
Jackreyes

[Lorem Ipsum]

How would you go about implementing new moves? I don't even know where you would start to code in the move effects, let alone move names and etc.

try doing it with the species name insted, i have found that sometimes the game wont find a new pokemon if you do it by number, but will do it fine if you do it by name, and i would change the coding back to what is was before LokiFerne told you to change it. just to be on the safe side, because i have my own pokemon in the game i'm making, and all i had to do was make the piktures and edit the pokemon.txt file.

if the problem continues, get a screenshot of the event coding, and the new pokemon information.

simply edit the move.txt file, but you might also have to put coding in the PokeBattle_MoveEffects part of the scripts.

Hey,

i have a few questions >->
First, how can i edit the bag-picture in the "bag-menu"?
For example, by choosing an male hero there should be an other bag-picture as the picture from the female hero.

Second, how can i make an givepokemon script? @.o

And the last, how can i make something like "Flags"?
Example, the hero touches an event. After the Event, it should be "erase'ed"
That meands, that the event is only 1 times aviable.

And sorry for my crappy english, im german

[Atomic Reactor]

There is something wrong with your move "hypercutter"
something is missing from it or something... im not sure.
You may wanna take another look at it.

FANG'S QUESTION TIME: Is there a manner in which I could call a Safari style battle with a specific Pokémon through an event?

[A.I]

First off I would like to say thanks to Poccil and Flamguru, and others whom may have contributed to the essentials. It's almost like Heaven.

Now for me question!

I am making a pokemon game, of course, and I had the idea of buying and selling Pokemon.

I was wondering exactly how I would go about doing that.
Would I have to duplicate and then edit the PokemonMart script?

i imagne that you would just have to make sure the map is safari marked when you call this specfic pokemon event. i haven't tried it, but i think that should work. >.>

What you mean by a givepokemon script..?
Like you get a Pokemon from the Prof.?
Then it's : pbAddPokemon(X,Y) where X is the species number of the Pokemon, and Y is its level.

For the flag, just make sure that at the end of the event, you put a switch i.e :
your event
set self switch a on
then make a new event page
make sure self switch a needs to be on for it to work..
then turn on the player touch
and put in "erase event"
then it'll work only one time

Hope I helped

[Jackreyes]

I have a pokemon 494 in my pokemon.txt, I have the 5 sprites for it and I even changed some script from 493 to 494 and it still won't let me pbAddPokemon(494,5)

I've attached a screenshot of my events code,
Any help much appreciated.

[PoKéMaKeR]

Do you also have a new cry..?
Possibly that's the problem..
