    • I'm trying to make an ability that has the same effect as Haze. my trigger is when the foe raises any of their stats. I've tried this but it doesn't trigger.

    Code: 
           if self.hasWorkingAbility(:TORRENT)
  def pbEffect(opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil)
    for i in 0...3
     if @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::ATTACK]   >= 1 ||
        @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::DEFENSE]  >= 1 ||
        @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::SPEED]    >= 1 ||
        @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::SPATK]    >= 1 ||
        @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::SPDEF]    >= 1 ||
        @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::ACCURACY] >= 1 ||
        @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::EVASION]  >= 1
    @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Stat Change Detected"))
      @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::ATTACK]   = 0
      @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::DEFENSE]  = 0
      @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::SPEED]    = 0
      @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::SPATK]    = 0
      @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::SPDEF]    = 0
      @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::ACCURACY] = 0
      @battle.battlers[i].stages[PBStats::EVASION]  = 0
    end
  end
    @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The Foe's Stats have been Reset"))
    return 0
  end
end

    I haven't read it much, but you definitely don't want to put a def inside your if.

    Click to expand...

    even with the def outside the if I can get my mon to +6 stats and the ability doesn't trigger. either my trigger is scuffed or my code is scuffed, and I don't know which it is.

    Your code is scuffed. Moving the def line around isn't going to help because it's the fact that you're defining a function that's causing the code not to run. I'd recommend you read a Ruby tutorial so that you can better internalize the difference between what:
    Code: 
    p "Hello World!"
    Code: 
    def hello
  p "Hello World!"
end
    and
    Code: 
    def hello
  p "Hello World!"
end

hello
    do.

    • Also to recognize who is the opponent you can check how Destint Bond move or Intimidate ability works.

    I have even transformed Destiny Bond as ability as well, under the name of Herbalility
