[Scripting Question] Function Code Help

Burn your neurons and edit Sucker Punch for what you want:

Code:

################################################################################
# Fails if the target didn't chose a damaging move to use this round, or has
# already moved. (Sucker Punch)
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_116 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbMoveFailed(attacker,opponent)
    return true if @battle.choices[opponent.index][0]!=1 # Didn't choose a move
    [email protected][opponent.index][2]
    return true if !oppmove || oppmove.id<=0 || oppmove.pbIsStatus?
    return true if opponent.hasMovedThisRound? && oppmove.function!=0xB0 # Me First
    return false
  end
end

Check Heavy Slam's code to recognize the weight:

Code:

################################################################################
# Power increases the heavier the user is than the target. (Heat Crash, Heavy Slam)
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_09B < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbBaseDamage(basedmg,attacker,opponent)
    n=(attacker.weight/opponent.weight(attacker)).floor
    ret=40
    ret=60 if n>=2
    ret=80 if n>=3
    ret=100 if n>=4
    ret=120 if n>=5
    return ret
  end
end

Good luck.

Also, this might go without saying, but make sure to assign a unique code to it as well. In the scripts where move functions are defined, you'll see this pattern at the start:

Code:

class PokeBattle_Move_[COLOR="red"]###[/COLOR] < PokeBattle_Move

where ### is the actual function code - the one that you would assign to the move in the PBS. It's a three digit hexadecimal number. Base essentials goes up to 158 with function codes, so the next available would be 159, then 15A, up to 15F, then 160. But they don't have to be sequential. You could just start up at 500 and guarantee that you're not overriding another code.

And sorry if this is all stuff you're aware of - just trying to provide a thorough answer and maybe help out someone else who comes across this post in the future.

Pay attention, you need to put 'return true if' and then 'return false', like you saw in Sucker Punch. Also, you don't need '()' between code.

Click to expand...

class PokeBattle_Move_15A < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbMoveFailed(attacker,opponent)
    return [COLOR="red"]((attacker.weight<opponent.weight) rescue false)[/COLOR] 
  end

Actually, I think that syntax is fine since (attacker.weight<opponent.weight) will already be a boolean value. The only change I might add is

Code:

class PokeBattle_Move_15A < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbMoveFailed(attacker,opponent)
    return [COLOR="red"]((attacker.weight<opponent.weight) rescue false)[/COLOR] 
  end

just to catch any errors.
