[Scripting Question] Help with Custom Ability

[Golisopod User]

Hey. So I have created a custom ability that reduces the accuracy of the damaging moves of all opponents by 5%. The accuracy nerf works like that of Hustle and is not a direct decrease in the Accuracy Stat Stage. Can anyone help me code this in Essentials?

What have you tried? It's pretty much just Hustle, except instead of checking if the user has it, you want to check if a foe has it (or maybe the target, not sure exactly what you want). Ctrl-Shift-F searches all scripts, so if you look for :HUSTLE I'm sure you can find the accuracy modifier.

Give me a second, I did something similar for a weather effect once.

EDIT: Okay, so in def pbAccuracyCheck, you'll want to something like:

    if isConst?(target.ability,PBAbilities,:ABILITYNAMEHERE)
      accuracy=(accuracy*19/20).floor
    end

...
Except probably with an extra condition that the move is a damaging one.

I tried using Ctrl+Shift+F to search for Hustle but i didn't know how to change the multiplier for the opponent.

Thank you so much it works perfectly!
