[Scripting Question] Poison Point but making it Toxic Poison instead - v18

[Phye]

I'm trying to wrap my head around how I can create a poison point ability but instead of normal poison it causes toxic poison.

This is the script for Poison Point:

BattleHandlers::TargetAbilityOnHit.add(:POISONPOINT,
  proc { |ability,user,target,move,battle|
    next if !move.pbContactMove?(user)
    next if user.poisoned? || battle.pbRandom(100)>=30
    battle.pbShowAbilitySplash(target)
    if user.pbCanPoison?(target,PokeBattle_SceneConstants::USE_ABILITY_SPLASH) &&
       user.affectedByContactEffect?(PokeBattle_SceneConstants::USE_ABILITY_SPLASH)
      msg = nil
      if !PokeBattle_SceneConstants::USE_ABILITY_SPLASH
        msg = _INTL("{1}'s {2} poisoned {3}!",target.pbThis,target.abilityName,user.pbThis(true))
      end
      user.pbPoison(target,msg)
    end
    battle.pbHideAbilitySplash(target)
  }
)

Ive tried changing around some stuff but I just run into errors. Like adding @toxic=1 and things like that. I dunno how this script works. My scripting knowledge is fairly basic as Im mostly just able to edit things that are... rather basic. xD Any help would be appreciated.

To change normal poisoning to its toxic version, suplement the function with the bold part:

pbPoison(user,nil,[B]true[/B])

(true stands for toxic| false for normal poisoning |false is the default value)
Hope that helps :)

Sorry doesn't work. And If you missed it this is for v18 of Essentials.

user.pbPoison(target,msg)

And even if I add a true or what not to this function code. Nothing changes either. I'm still lost in trying to make a toxic poison on contact ability. xD

def pbPoison(user=nil,msg=nil,toxic=false)
    pbInflictStatus(PBStatuses::POISON,(toxic) ? 1 : 0,msg,user)
  end

If you enter the Script Section "Battler_Statuses" in V18 around line 335 you'll find this function. Of course you're right that you can't just use
"pbPoison(user,nil,true)" to poison a target. This function is part of the "PokeBattle_Battler" class which means it can only be associated with an object instance of that class(In this case "user") => using the function should look something like this: target.pbPoison(user,"hi",true).This version would badly poison the target and calculate it as if the user induced the status, while displaying the message "hi". If you still can't get it to work I just could send you the finished ability. I'm sorry if this sounded aggressive, I'm happy to help :)

When I changed pbPoison into target.pbPoison(user,"hi,true)... then the ability wouldnt even work at all xD No Ability pops no nothing. (I know that since during testing the ability I have it as a 100% occurance rate.)

BattleHandlers::TargetAbilityOnHit.add(:TOXICGAS,
  proc { |ability,user,target,move,battle|
    next if !move.pbContactMove?(user)
    next if user.poisoned? || battle.pbRandom(100)>=100
    battle.pbShowAbilitySplash(target)
    if user.pbCanPoison?(target,PokeBattle_SceneConstants::USE_ABILITY_SPLASH) &&
       user.affectedByContactEffect?(PokeBattle_SceneConstants::USE_ABILITY_SPLASH)
      msg = nil
      if !PokeBattle_SceneConstants::USE_ABILITY_SPLASH
        msg = _INTL("{1}'s {2} badly poisoned {3}!",target.pbThis,target.abilityName,user.pbThis(true))
      end
      target.pbPoison(user,"hi",true)
    end
    battle.pbHideAbilitySplash(target)
  }
)

Sorry, I just thought changing something to badly poison wouldn't be this hard xD I mean a contact ability with sleep was easier to deal with.

BattleHandlers::TargetAbilityOnHit.add(:TOXICGAS,
  proc { |ability,user,target,move,battle|
    next if !move.pbContactMove?(user)
    next if user.poisoned? || battle.pbRandom(100)>=100
    battle.pbShowAbilitySplash(target)
    if user.pbCanPoison?(target,PokeBattle_SceneConstants::USE_ABILITY_SPLASH) &&
       user.affectedByContactEffect?(PokeBattle_SceneConstants::USE_ABILITY_SPLASH)
      msg = nil
      if !PokeBattle_SceneConstants::USE_ABILITY_SPLASH
        msg = _INTL("{1}'s {2} badly poisoned {3}!",target.pbThis,target.abilityName,user.pbThis(true))
      end
      user.pbPoison(target,nil,true)
    end
    battle.pbHideAbilitySplash(target)
  }
)

Try out this code it worked for me so I'm pretty sure it'll work for you as well. :)
