Script: [Essentials v17] Following Pokemon v 1.4.1

[WolfPP]

I noticed a bug when you change form fusing pokémon (Kyurem in case).
If I have RESHIRAM or ZEKROM like first pokemon ($Trainer.party[0]) and fuse to Kyurem, when i back into overworld the sprite won't refresh (even if i putted '$PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.refresh_sprite' (true) or (false) and give me error when i try to talk to it, because he was deleted by fusion, obviously.
The correct is to turn back to poké ball (calling remove_sprite instead refresh) because Reshiram/Zekrom doesn't exist (until you separate White Kyurem).

How can we fix that?
Also i think the code for that is:

#Update sprites on use item
module ItemHandlers
  
  class << self
    alias follow_triggerUseOnPokemon triggerUseOnPokemon
  end
  
  def self.triggerUseOnPokemon(item,pokemon,scene)
    ret = follow_triggerUseOnPokemon(item,pokemon,scene)
    $PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.refresh_sprite(false) if ret
    return ret
  en
end

Not all of the emotions from HGSS were included with the script, so I made them myself. Anyone is free to use them if they wish.

The Code (add this tiny bit just under the other emotions in the script]:

Does anyone have the problem that after you lose a battle, the pokemon no longer follows you (the dependent event in no longer active)?

Thanks 'pbRemoveDependencies()' here:

You need create a event again, usin a new event called "Dependent" and stuffs into Poké Center nor Mother's House.

 

[mybusiness]

Too lazy to put those into every Center. Rather, I'll create a new argumet for pbRemoveDependencies and removeAllElements to handle following pokemon as exceptions.

 

[WolfPP]

Just remove that part of code and put remove_sprite(false) and after heal, refresh_sprite(true). More simple.

 

[WolfPP]

If you have variations, like Giratina (need to change the map), Solgaleo/Lunala (change its forms when the player changes the map to Ultra Space), I made this code to refresh the OW:
Inside 'class DependentEventSprites', above 'case $Trainer.party[0].status', paste:

        if MultipleForms.hasFunction?($Trainer.party[0],"getForm")
          $PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.refresh_sprite(false)
        end

 

[REALMUGEN]

Hi Guys...

I read all the post and i don't know how to solve this...

Does anyone know why every time I transport, leave or enter a house the sprite refresh and my pokemon comes out of the Pokeball again?

 

[WolfPP]

You didn't:

Damn! :C

 

[REALMUGEN]

Has anyone gotten that the first Pokemon that goes with you does not appear from the Pokeball, if not from the side of the trainer, as in the original games? I'm trying with EBS, but I think the challenge exceeds my scripting capabilities. XD

 

[REALMUGEN]

Just remove that part of code and put remove_sprite(false) and after heal, refresh_sprite(true). More simple.

Would someone be kind enough to show me how to install this fix or maybe a capture of their starting over configuration in the Pokemón center? I can't get the following script to reactivate after the blackout.

 

[REALMUGEN]

I have a very strange issue ... Here I go ... When I go to the Pokemon Center and the sprites disappear or appear as indicated, it works well ... Except for a Pokemon, which does not disappear from the map when it should do so ... (However , when I use ctrl to get or remove the Pokemon from the POKEBALL everything goes well ...) It only happens with that Pokemon. Curiously, it is the first one that appears in my project that has an additional form, but I don't know if it has anything to do with it ...

Add Water Reflection to Following Pokemon event:

Inside Following Script, change all '==Dependent' to '[/Dependent/]'. The script haves 6 lines with that. Replace all of them:

  def change_sprite(id, shiny=nil, animation=nil, form=nil, gender=nil, shadow=false)
    events=$PokemonGlobal.dependentEvents
    for i in 0...events.length
      if events[i] && events[i][8][COLOR="Red"][/Dependent/][/COLOR] #=="Dependent" #original code

  def remove_sprite(animation=nil)
    events=$PokemonGlobal.dependentEvents
    for i in 0...events.length
      if events[i] && events[i][8][COLOR="red"][/Dependent/][/COLOR] #=="Dependent" original code

  def talk_to_pokemon
    e=$Trainer.party[0]
    events=$PokemonGlobal.dependentEvents
    for i in 0...events.length
      if events[i] && events[i][8][COLOR="red"][/Dependent/][/COLOR] #=="Dependent" original code

Spoiler:

#===============================================================================
# * Pokemon reapear after using surf
#===============================================================================
def Come_back(shiny=nil, animation=nil)
  return if !$game_variables[Following_Activated_Switch]
  return if $Trainer.party.length==0
  $PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.pbMoveDependentEvents
  events=$PokemonGlobal.dependentEvents
  if $game_variables[Current_Following_Variable]==$Trainer.party[0]
    remove_sprite(false)
    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
      for i in 0...events.length 
        $scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(Animation_Come_Out,@realEvents[i].x,@realEvents[i].y)
      end
    end
  end
  if $Trainer.party[0].hp>0 && !$Trainer.party[0].isEgg?
    $game_variables[Current_Following_Variable]=$Trainer.party[0]
    refresh_sprite(animation)
  end
  for i in 0...events.length 
    if events[i] && events[i][8][COLOR="red"][/Dependent/][/COLOR]#=="Dependent"

def SetMoveRoute(commands,waitComplete=true)
    events=$PokemonGlobal.dependentEvents
    for i in 0...events.length
      if events[i] && events[i][8][COLOR="red"][/Dependent/][/COLOR]#=="Dependent"

class Interpreter
  
  def command_end
    # Clear list of event commands
    @list = nil
    # If main map event and event ID are valid
    if @main && @event_id > 0 && !($game_map.events[@event_id] && $game_map.events[@event_id].name[COLOR="red"][/Dependent/][/COLOR])#=="Dependent")

Change the red line:

def pbPokemonFollow(x)
 [COLOR="Red"] Kernel.pbAddDependency2(x, "DependentReflection", Unused_Common_Event)[/COLOR] #Kernel.pbAddDependency2(x, "Dependent", Unused_Common_Event)
  $PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.refresh_sprite
  $PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.Come_back(nil,false)
  $game_switches[Following_Activated_Switch]=true
  $game_switches[Toggle_Following_Switch]=true
end

Then, search 'Sprite_WaterReflection' script, and add the red line:

Spoiler:

    # Just-in-time creation of sprite
    @sprite = Sprite.new(@viewport) if !@sprite
    if @sprite
      x = @[email protected]
      y = @[email protected]
      y -= 32 if @rsprite.character.character_name[/offset/]
      [COLOR="Red"]y -= 16  if !@fixedheight && @event && @event!=$game_player && @event.name[/Dependent/] && $PokemonGlobal.surfing[/COLOR]
      @height = $PokemonGlobal.bridge if !@fixedheight
      y += @height*16
      width  = @rsprite.src_rect.width
      height = @rsprite.src_rect.height
      @sprite.x        = x+width/2
      @sprite.y        = y+height+height/2

Finally, inside 'PField_DependentEvents' search to 'def createEvent(eventData)' and add the red line:

Spoiler:

class DependentEvents
  def createEvent(eventData)
    rpgEvent=RPG::Event.new(eventData[3],eventData[4])
    rpgEvent.id=eventData[1]
    if eventData[9]
      # Must setup common event list here and now
      commonEvent=Game_CommonEvent.new(eventData[9])
      rpgEvent.pages[0].list=commonEvent.list
    end
    [COLOR="red"]rpgEvent.name=eventData[8][/COLOR]
    newEvent=Game_Event.new(eventData[0],rpgEvent,$MapFactory.getMap(eventData[2]))
    newEvent.character_name=eventData[6]
    newEvent.character_hue=eventData[7]
    case eventData[5] # direction
    when 2; newEvent.turn_down # down
    when 4; newEvent.turn_left # left
    when 6; newEvent.turn_right # right
    when 8; newEvent.turn_up # up
    end
    return newEvent
  end

Thanks Vendily to made that great edition!

Hi WolfPP, using this script does nothing inside my game for following pokemon reflection and i don´t know why.

 

[WolfPP]

From Fresh v17.2, ignore all what I wrote and inside 'Sprite_Character' script, change:

  def initialize(viewport, character = nil)
    super(viewport)
    @character = character
    @oldbushdepth = 0
    @spriteoffset = false
    if !character || character==$game_player || (character.name[/Reflection/] rescue false)
      @reflection = Sprite_Reflection.new(self,character,viewport)
    end
    @surfbase = Sprite_SurfBase.new(self,character,viewport) if character==$game_player
    update
  end

for this:

  def initialize(viewport, character = nil)
    super(viewport)
    @character = character
    @oldbushdepth = 0
    @spriteoffset = false
    @reflection = Sprite_Reflection.new(self,character,viewport)
    @surfbase = Sprite_SurfBase.new(self,character,viewport) if character==$game_player
    update
  end

help i get error ????? follower ??? Name Error ????????
undefined method pb switch for class PokemonParty Class 😭

 

[WolfPP]

What you posted don't help too much for help you. Paste all error here.
Also, if you read your error says:

undefined method pb switch for class PokemonParty Class

Maybe you're using other version of Essentials instead v17+. If so, you need to adapt the script or download v17.2 OR copy 'def pbSwitch' and
paste inside class PokemonParty from the newest versions.

I've found a crash with this script, unfortunately. If you have a Pokemon with field moves (such as Dig, Strength, etc) and attempt to use the new Ready Menu by pressing F, it produces this error and crashes.
