[Custom Feature Question] Non-dancing dancers!

fauno · May 16, 2019

Guys I need help one more time. In my project there is a gym leader who is a dance teacher but she uses fighting-type Pokémon. So far so good. As you already know, Oricorio has a ability (Dancer) that copies the dance moves if your opponent uses any.
My idea is to give only this Gym Leader's Pokes the same effect as the Dancer ability, without change the original abilities of your Pokémon, can anyone guide me how to do this?
I'll leave here the code I use to Dancer

Spoiler:

Code:

if thismove.isDanceMove? && !dancercheck
      if @battle.doublebattle
        for k in @battle.pbPriority(true)
          if k!=user && !k.isFainted?
            if !k.effects[PBEffects::Dancer] &&
            k.hasWorkingAbility(:DANCER)
            @battle.battlers[user.index].effects[PBEffects::Dancer]=true
              if k==user.pbPartner
                if !target.isFainted?
                  if target==user.pbPartner
                    if !user.pbOpposing1.isFainted?
                      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} also dances!",k.pbThis))
                      k.effects[PBEffects::Dancer]=true
                      pbProcessMoveAgainstTarget(thismove,k,user.pbOpposing1,numhits,turneffects,nocheck,alltargets,showanimation,true)
                    elsif !user.pbOpposing2.isFainted?
                      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} also dances!",k.pbThis))
                      k.effects[PBEffects::Dancer]=true
                      pbProcessMoveAgainstTarget(thismove,k,user.pbOpposing2,numhits,turneffects,nocheck,alltargets,showanimation,true)

                      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("What a pity! {1} wanted to dance...",user.pbPartner.pbThis))

Maybe you could add a switch, and then check if the Pokémon has :DANCER or this switch is on?

fauno · May 16, 2019

If I add the switch, will not it have the effect for both sides of the field? I want to create this effect just for the side of this gym leader.

mgriffin · May 16, 2019

Good point. In the switch check you could check that it's also a Pokémon controlled by the AI (which I think you do by looking at the index of the Pokémon, there's two numbers for player-owned, and two for AI-owned).

Marcello (pokémon Reborn scripter) help me to create this, in this case, the code is:

Spoiler:

and for non damaging moves only change the "k" for "s".
