may i ask why is everybody asking Poccil to do all the work why dont you scriot these features into your game yourself and make your game unique
pbDownloadToString(url)
That function returns a string containing downloaded content from a URL. If the download fails, it returns an empty string. The resource specified by the URL should be a plain text file.
The example offered in the demo (on the far left of the first row of computers in the map "Test Map 2") shows how the function can be used to set a variable and display it as text. Of course, the function can also be used in the script editor, in advanced situations where the game must connect to the Internet.
Hey Poccil I'm glad to see you still updating this kit! Especially since Platinum recently came out I say new features are in order :D
I have a couple questions however:
1. I named one of my animations "Common:Shiny" but it still doesn't play the Shiny animation when I encounter a shiny, how come?
2. I've looked about (in the script editor) that there is a new script entitled, "PokemonTriad" and I was wondering what that was? Is it a Pokemon version of the infamous Triple Triad from Final Fantasy 8?
3. How would I go about editing what bonus items you get when buying a certain amount of an Item? For example you buy 10 Pokeballs you get a Premier Ball, but what if you wanted more like if you bought 10 Potions you get a Super Potion (or something similar)?
[Edit] I seen in the Script Editor how it works out and I'm gonna fool around with it to see if I can get what I want out of it.
I think that's all for now,

Those functions cannot be used by themselves to change switches and variables. Please look at the event in the demo (on the far left of the first row of computers in the map "Test Map 2") for an example of how the result of the download functions, in this case a string, can be used to set a variable. That variable would then store that string. It also shows how such a variable can be displayed in a text box.
Krobelus:
To answer number 1, I've tested it and it works fine for me.
To answer number 2, yes, the game is based on "Triple Triad" from Final Fantasy 8. The Pokemon theme adapted here astonishingly well.

Yes, the situation would work as you describe it. Next time, please use private messaging for questions like this.
You plan to fix the HM-use when you don't have an adequate Pokemon, right?
Sorry if it's been asked before but it's the only major problem I've got.
