New problem, I keep getting a syntax error at line 2498 and I have no idea why. I tried deleting a few "ends" but I still kept getting the error.

HTML:

2483 def pbThrowAndDeflect(ball,targetBattler)
2484 end
2485 def pbThrow(ball,shakes,targetBattler)
2486  @briefmessage=false
2487  pokeballThrow(ball,shakes,targetBattler)
2488 end
2489 def pbThrowSuccess
2490  if !@opponent
2491   @briefmessage=false
2492   $game_system.bgm_play("../ME/PkmRS-Caught.mid")
2493   frames=(3.5*Graphics.frame_rate).to_i
2494   frames.times do
2495    pbGraphicsUpdate
2496    pbInputUpdate
2497  end
2498 end
2499

Any help will be appreciated.

2.) How can you store all of the pokemon that you have in your party to a variable (a.k.a bug catching contest) so that you have no pokemon in your party, and you can call them back by using another script command or something. I want to have my character go into the past, and have no pokemon in his party that he had in the future, just so you can get the right idea. Maybe Maruno or OblivionMew can help me with this...?

2) I presume you want the player to pick up and use new pokémon after he's (temporarily) lost his old team. Now, looking at the Bug Catching scripts, this catches my eye:

Code:

     @otherparty=[]
     chosenpkmn=$Trainer.party[@chosenPokemon]

     for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
      if i!=@chosenPokemon
       @otherparty.push($Trainer.party[i])
      end
     end

     $Trainer.party=[chosenpkmn]

The "chosenpkmn" is whichever one you chose to use before you entered the Contest. The "if" statement copies all the information about all the non-chosen pokémon to an array called "@otherparty" (defined as blank at the beginning). Finally, the trainer's party is redefined to be only the chosen pokémon. At the end of the Contest, the rest of the party is added back.

So that sounds simple enough. Create an array called "@futurepkmn", and when you time travel, do the "if" statement stuff to copy all the party pokémon into it, then say "$Trainer.party=[]" to make it blank.

The recovery part of the script (that gives you your pokémon back) is equally simple, but you can look for that yourself (hint: search for "@otherparty"). Do (a variation of) that when you want to get your future pokémon back. You can do other things with that array instead, if you want (and can imagine).

I wanted to make it so that in order to pass certain areas all pokemon had to be at a certain level, (that way you can't just easily use only one pokemon to defeat the gyms, elite 4, and champion). I tried using

Code:

$Trainer.party.level

,but I can't seem to use it right, I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if that can even help prevent using just one or two pokemon. If that doesn't help is there a way I can do that?

$Trainer.party[0].level

That is the level of the leading pokémon in your party (the party pokémon are numbered 0-5 inclusive). After a quick bit of imagining, I came up with the following:

Code:

tempvar=0
for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length-1
  if $Trainer.party[i].level>=42
    tempvar+=1
  end
end
if $Trainer.party.length==tempvar
  [COLOR=Red]You may pass.[/COLOR]
else
  [COLOR=Red]You cannot pass.[/COLOR]
end

Make sure you're happy with figuring out what's going on. If you want a walkthrough of it, ask me in a PM - I'm feeling nice.

Ah thank you. I'll use that. That makes sense.

Looks to me like you might need one more "end" after line 2498; however, I'm new at this so I don't know for sure.

You Maruno are a life saver, that was racking my brain for about a week now, Thx a bunch.

Anyone found a workaround yet for the issue with the latest Pokémon Essentials release - that crashes every time a Pokémon evolves?

I assume it's not just me that's having this problem... :P

Well, I haven't gotten that far into my game, but I bet that will be a problem, so can someone help us out?

Would it be that hard to make a Caterpillar system close to the Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver one ?

It'd be a matter of adding a Script that grabs the Pokedex number of the Pokemon that is first in your party, then uses it's Pokedex number to grab a charset and attach to an event that repeats the moves that you do. Then you could script extra stuff so that when you talk to the Pokemon, it does it's cry or something. :)

That sounds.. perfect.

The thing is, i don't know how to script though :(

But i do have the Pokemon OverWorlds for all the Pokemons, and the only thing that really interested me would be the Pokemon following the Trainer.

Here is a Script made by a friend for Pokemon to follow the Trainer, but even i am having some problems understanding it. Can you guys understand it ?

I've tried adding and deleting "end's" but it still gives me the same error. Strange considering its either a blank line or an "end" line that is doing it. Both at the very end of the script.

Any help will be appreciated.

That looks like it's at the very end of PokeBattle_ActualScene (at least, it is in mine, give or take a few lines). I have 4 "end"s in a row at the end of mine (your quoted bit has 2, for comparison).

I believe I had this problem a while back, and it turned out the problem was either a missing or an extra "end" much earlier in the class. That missing/extra "end" meant the rest of the defs weren't being read properly, which for some reason translates to a syntax error at the end of the class.

Look at whatever you've changed in PokeBattle_ActualScene and see if the number of "end"s match up. I assume you've added something because your line numbering is 30 ahead of mine (February release, unedited).

In the servers.txt file, it's safe to delete "127.0.0.1:4000,fdsfdsfd" and replace it with your own server, right? ^_^;

The Smell · Sep 26, 2009

OK, so in the Intro section there is the script:
pbShowPicture(2,pbGetPlayerGraphic,1,230,160)

I want it to show the graphic, but how can I make it disappear, because when I go into the first Map, the picture stays there...

NOTE: I did edit the Intro text and stuff.

EDIT: Oops, I realized it makes it count as Picture 2... Never mind guys!

Well, I guess that I should ask this now: How do I get certain Pokémon to appear in the grass? Let me still tell everyone that I am no expert in this yet, but I will be once I finish my game.

I want to display a animated gif sprite.
I have never done this before and so I put in this code.
What did I do wrong.

setBitmap("Graphics/Pictures")
GifSprite.new(Male Character)
update

Here is the error:

1.Open editor.exe
2.Go to set encounters
3.Then choose new dentisy and choose land
4.After that you click on land and you will see pokemons where you can edit which one you want and what level and how often they will appear.

I think thats about it.

So...
In other words, how do I initialize a move effect? Do you remember my post? did anyone at least read my post? What script should I modify to have my own effects, I never tested them before and I'm having problems at the time I want to test them in battle.
