[Scripting Question] Manually triggering evolution

[desbrina]

I've added a couple of new evolution methods but I don't want them to be triggered automatically at the end of a battle, rather I'd like them to trigger them from the menu, similar to the way legends Arceus does.

Can anyone advise how I would go about triggering the evolution screen manually. The script so far shows you all available evolution options (though it doesn't check check if you can evolve) and allows you to select which you want to evolve to. I want to trigger where the p @evos[index] currently is.

The p @evos[index] currently shows then Pokémon to evolve to, its evolution method and any parameters.

code for the selecting

def pbEvoChoice
    loop do
      Graphics.update
      Input.update
      pbUpdate
      if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
          index = @sprites["mapList"].index
          p @evos[index]
          break
      end
      if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
        break
      end
    end
  end

I'm not sure if this is enough, but to manually evolve a Pokémon with the sufficient data (that is, the Pokémon + the species to evolve into), it seems that it's handled by this code:

      evo = PokemonEvolutionScene.new
      evo.pbStartScreen(thepokemon, newspecies)
      evo.pbEvolution(false)
      evo.pbEndScreen

EDIT: I know only v18 but this seems to work also for v19.

Thanks, that works, but I can see the menu behind it, how would I hide that?

This is because the class doesn't separate between the visual menu and the evolution process...

I think you should find the definition of:

  def pbStartScreen(pokemon,newspecies)

and rework it a bit.
