[Question] Need some help regarding Snag Balls.

[Seth Pegasus]

I understand how the Snag Balls work, they catch the opponents Shadow Pokemon. I want to know how to make a Snag Ball that allows me to capture any opponent Pokemon. I did find a section in the scripts that has the Snag Ball stuff in it, but I have no idea what I'm looking at or how the script works.

Also, if someone can show me how to make a Poke ball that can capture a Pokemon and turn it into a Shadow Pokemon, I would really appreciate it.

I may be wrong, because i don't know much about scripting at all, but I may be able to help with a poke ball that makes a pokemon shadow. I know you can do it through an event in the game (makeShadow). If you can make a conditional branch that checks the poke ball, and then has a script for "makeShadow" Im sorry this probably isn't much help, but no one else was responding

Thanks for the help. I'll look into it and see if I can make it work.

Try this:

First: Ccreate an Item that's the specific Pokéball. e.g:

520,SHADOWBALL,Shadow Ball,3,0,"A dark ball, that turns regular Pokémon in Shadow Pokémon.",0,2,4

Important are the last two parameters (2 and 4). It says that the item can be used directly in the battle and it's a pokéball.

Second: Go to the script editor in the rpg maker xp and go to the section "PokemonBalls". Change line 77 from

23=>:SPORTBALL

to

23=>:SPORTBALL,

(Add a comma)

And right under this line, write:

24=>:SHADOWBALL

Then go to around line 236 and put under this line:

BallHandlers::OnCatch.add(:SHADOWBALL,proc{|ball,battle,pokemon|
pokemon.makeShadow
})

That's should be... I'm not sure, if it's work, but it should. Sorry if my english is not clear enough, I'm not a native english speaker.

Edit: I've tested it and it's work.

it would be fun to allow a ball that can steal other trainers pokemon but i guess it would make rematches bit strange

PokeBattle_Battle, line 125. Delete || !battler.isShadow?. Snag Balls work on any Pokémon.

I tried it out and it does work. Thank you.



Maruno,

Ok I deleted || !battler.isShadow? but I get a SyntaxError in line 128.
What did I do wrong?

[Maruno]

The line should read:

if @opponent && !pbIsSnagBall?(ball)

You probably deleted a ")". I tidied it up for the sake of a clean example.

Ok thanks I got it working. I think the problem might have been that I changed this script and added 2 separate ballhandlers to the pokeballs script at the same time.

Now that I did added my new pokeball and changed the pokebattle_battle script then compiled and then added another ballhandler it works just fine.

Thanks again.
