How to delete Specific Pokémon from Party.

[Minokun]

Let's say an NPC want's the character to give them a Meowth DIRECTLY from their party. What script do I use to do that? Yes I know about:

pbRemovePokemonAt(index)

However I don't want it to rely on the Index number, I want it to rely on the specific Pokémon that the event is asking for in the party.

You can check each slot in the party for Meowth then delete it.



I need something similar to this, but instead of deleting it, i want store the Pokemon somewhere else for a limited time(similar to Battle Frontier)

Edit: Can't read this late.

Just say something like

for i in $Trainer.party
if $Trainer.party[i].species==PBSpecies::MEOWTH
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} was removed from your party!",$Trainer.party[i].name))
$Trainer.party[i]=nil
$Trainer.party.compact!
break
end
end

 

[Minokun]

I don't think that's possible, and if it is it's probably much more bothersome than just giving your player the pokemon directly and just use the text to say the NPC gave it

pbAddPokemon(pokemon,level=nil,seeform=true)

If you plan on battling that NPC later or something ,just make another instance of him in your trainers.txt with a different suffix and without the Meowth.

I don't want them to give you a Pokémon, I want you to give them a Pokémon.

Thanks! I'll try that method.

Yeah, I fixed it. My bad

$Trainer.party.compact!
break
end
end

I got this error... Any thoughts?

[mej71]

it's this line

if $Trainer.party[i].species==PBSpecies::MEOWTH

change it to

if $Trainer.party[i].species==52

I was trying to make it easier to edit, but apparently I don't remember how to do that. 52 is Meowth's dex number.

No you were right... The wiki has it like that and I got another error when I changed it... So I tried A Different, longer route and got another error.

That doesn't do anything.

My original thing was almost correct, I just derped

for i in 0..$Trainer.party.length-1
if $Trainer.party[i].species==PBSpecies::MEOWTH
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} was removed from your party!",$Trainer.party[i].name))
$Trainer.party[i]=nil
$Trainer.party.compact!
break
end
end

Hey mej71 would you know how to temporarily remove(like the Battle Frontier) every pokemon from the party except a specific species?

And how to add them back after that.

Would you be okay with temporarily storing it in the PC?

pkmn=$Trainer.party[2]  #I just did this, do whatever method you want for choosing the pokemon. 
clonedpkmn=pkmn.clone
            clonedpkmn.iv=pkmn.iv.clone
            clonedpkmn.ev=pkmn.ev.clone
            pbStorePokemon(clonedpkmn)
$Trainer.party[2]=nil
$Trainer.party.compact!

and to get them back just get them out of the pc. You could probably make a script to do it, or let the player do it manually.

Not tested

Where do i put this? I tried the script section of event commands but it gives an error

and i'm fine with storing them into PC.

 

[mej71]

You left out a line

clonedpkmn=pkmn.clone

 

[Lusus]

You left out a line

clonedpkmn=pkmn.clone

My bad.

It doesn't do anything now, the PC is empty and the pokemon is still in my party.

 

[mej71]

Is there a pokemon in said slot? (3rd)

 

[Lusus]

Is there a pokemon in said slot? (3rd)

Yes i have 4 Pokemon on me.

 

[mej71]

Welp, I have no clue. I'll look at it some more tomorrow.

Okay, thanks for trying anyway.

Hey mej71 would you know how to temporarily remove(like the Battle Frontier) every pokemon from the party except a specific species?

And how to add them back after that.

I know you didn't ask for my help, but here's a small function:

WhiteListedPokemon = [PBSpecies::MAGIKARP] # change the pokemon here obviously.
VariableID = 54 # change this to the variable ID you want to store the pokemon in

def pbDeleteAndSavePartyPokemon
  $game_variables[VariableID] = [] if (!$game_variables[VariableID].is_a?(Array))

  for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
    pokemon = $Trainer.party[i]
    if (!WhiteListedPokemon.include?(pokemon.species))
        $game_variables[VariableID].push(pokemon)
        pbRemovePokemonAt(i)
    end

  end

end

def pbRestoreAllDeletedPokemon
  return if (!$game_variables[VariableID].is_a?(Array))

  for pokemon in $game_variables[VariableID]
    pbAddPokemonSilent(pokemon)
  end

  $game_variables[VariableID] = []
end

This wasn't tested, but should work exactly how you want it. (Change the WhiteListedPokemon and VariableID variables to whatever suits you.)


to delete the pokemon, just call "pbDeleteAndSavePartyPokemon" and to restore "pbRestoreAllDeletedPokemon"

If you encounter errors, let me know.

Edit: As for the problem with the other script, you forgot to store it into the PC.
