[Scripting Question] WORKS - For a new Ability effect

[Disccat]

Hi, I would like to create a new Ability for a "new Pokémon" in my game (it's a legendary).
The effect of this Ability is simple, Normal attacks keep their basic affinities, but are super effective against some types (Steel, Dragon, Water, and more).

I tried to do it myself, I'll continue to try if no one know how to do.

Thank you for your help.

I suggest you check out how Scrappy is implemented. It basically changes the type affinity for the Normal type. You can adapt its code to your ability.

It's work now! Thank you very much StCooler.

The code in the script "Move_UsageCalculation

Spoiler:

  def pbCalcTypeModSingle(moveType, defType, user, target)
    ret = Effectiveness.calculate_one(moveType, defType)
    if Effectiveness.ineffective_type?(moveType, defType)
      # Ring Target
      if target.hasActiveItem?(:RINGTARGET)
        ret = Effectiveness::NORMAL_EFFECTIVE_ONE
      end
      # Foresight
      if (user.hasActiveAbility?(:SCRAPPY) || target.effects[PBEffects::Foresight]) &&
         defType == :GHOST
        ret = Effectiveness::NORMAL_EFFECTIVE_ONE
      end
      # Miracle Eye
      if target.effects[PBEffects::MiracleEye] && defType == :DARK
        ret = Effectiveness::NORMAL_EFFECTIVE_ONE
      end
    elsif Effectiveness.super_effective_type?(moveType, defType)
      # Delta Stream's weather
      if target.effectiveWeather == :StrongWinds && defType == :FLYING
        ret = Effectiveness::NORMAL_EFFECTIVE_ONE
      end
    end
    # Grounded Flying-type Pokémon become susceptible to Ground moves
    if !target.airborne? && defType == :FLYING && moveType == :GROUND
      ret = Effectiveness::NORMAL_EFFECTIVE_ONE
    end
[U]      # Prisme Optique
      if user.hasActiveAbility?(:PRISMEOPTIQUE) && moveType == :NORMAL &&
         (defType == :GRASS || defType == :ICE || defType == :DRAGON ||
          defType == :STEEL || defType == :WATER || defType == :BUG ||
          defType == :FLYING || defType == :GROUND)
        ret = Effectiveness::SUPER_EFFECTIVE_ONE
      end[/U]
    return ret
  end

Do test it but from what I see, it looks good :)

I tested it and it works. The Pokémon with this Ability sees its Normal type Attacks become super effective against the indicated types (like Grass), while keeping the other affinities. A Pokémon with Ghost and Grass types is insensitive. It's neutral against a Rock and Grass types.
I had trouble placing the code without problems, I hope it won't cause problems with the Ability Scrappy or other codes here.
