How do you edit/make Abilities

[Sporefame19]

The wiki had not gone to the details and I was wondering if anyone could make a tutorial or something.

First thing you need to do is add the ability in the PBS/abilities.txt

id,MY_ABILITY,MyAbility,"Ability effect description."

And the next thing is really dependent on what your ability does. If it's similar to an existing ability, your best bet
would be search for that ability in the code and see how it does what it does. For example, if I wanted to make
an ability that cures status every turn, I'd search for Water Veil because it cures burns. When you search,
search with Ctrl-Shift-F and type in the internal name of the ability. For example, Water Veil's internal
name is WATERVEIL.

So after you search for WATERVEIL, you'll see there's something about it in pbAbilityCureCheck. Study that and
you'll figure out how it works. And now you can add your ability that cures every status, at the end of that
function like this.

if self.status!=0 && isConst?(self.ability,PBAbilities,:MY_ABILITY)
      abilityname=PBAbilities.getName(self.ability)
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s {2} cured its status problem!", pbThis, abilityname))
      self.status=0
end

I might be able to help you more if I catch time, just tell me what your ability does. But in the meantime,
try searching for similar abilities in the code and study them. Hope this helps!

I figured it out now.
It's similar to Levitate
