Question about items the boost stats

[dydd90]

Hi guys, items like Calcium, Protein etc boost your stats "sometimes", is there a way to make them boost your stats "everytime"? Thank you in advance :)

Vitamins already always boost the stats unless the Pokemon EVs in that stat are maxed. Unless something changed in Gen 6.

The problem is when i use for exemple Hpup, i have to use a lot of them to boost the Hp by 1.

This is the function that sets how many EVs your pokemon gains by eating a vitamin:

Spoiler:

def pbRaiseEffortValues(pokemon,ev,evgain=10,evlimit=true)
  if pokemon.ev[ev]>=100 && evlimit
    return 0
  end
  totalev=0
  for i in 0...6
    totalev+=pokemon.ev[i]
  end
  if totalev+evgain>510
    evgain=510-totalev
  end
  if pokemon.ev[ev]+evgain>255
    evgain=255-pokemon.ev[ev]
  end
  if evlimit && pokemon.ev[ev]+evgain>100
    evgain=100-pokemon.ev[ev]
  end
  if evgain>0
    pokemon.ev[ev]+=evgain
    pokemon.calcStats
  end
  return evgain
end

You can find it in the script section, PokemonItems at line 287.

Then this function is used in PokemonItemsEffects (line 482), one time for each vitamine.

The case for HPUP is this:

Spoiler:

ItemHandlers::UseOnPokemon.add(:HPUP,proc{|item,pokemon,scene|
   if pbRaiseEffortValues(pokemon,0[S-HIGHLIGHT],50[/S-HIGHLIGHT])==0
     scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It won't have any effect."))
     next false
   else
     scene.pbRefresh
     scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s HP increased.",pokemon.name))
     pokemon.changeHappiness("vitamin")
     next true
   end
})

I added in yellow the part you probably want to modify to give more EVs to the pokemon (it is optional, if you put nothing it will give a standart value of 10, in my case it will raise HP EVs by 50). I didn't actually check, but I think it should work that way.

If you want the vitamin not to give EVs, but directly increase stats, you have to modify the function in PokemonItems, wich is a little more complicated, and I cant do it right now.
