This tutorial explains how show the enemy's Poke Balls before taking the next Pokémon. Note that this isn't identical to original games. Tested on v13 and v17.2.

In PokeBattle_ActualScene

Change line:

Code:

@sprites["partybarplayer"].x-=16

to

Code:

@sprites["partybarplayer"].x-=16 if @sprites["partybarplayer"]

Change line:

Code:

@sprites["partybarplayer"].x=PokeBattle_SceneConstants::PLAYERPARTYBAR_X

to

Code:

@sprites["partybarplayer"].x=PokeBattle_SceneConstants::PLAYERPARTYBAR_X if @sprites["partybarplayer"]

Before line:

Code:

@sprites["enemy#{i}"].z=41

Add:

Code:

@sprites["enemy#{i}"].y-=72 if @doublePreviewTop

Change line:

Code:

@sprites["player#{i}"].x-=ballmovedist

to

Code:

@sprites["player#{i}"].x-=ballmovedist if @sprites["partybarplayer"]

Before line:

Code:

def partyAnimationUpdate

Add:

Code:

def partyAnimationRestart(doublePreviewTop)
  @doublePreviewTop=doublePreviewTop
  yvalue=114
  yvalue-=72 if doublePreviewTop
  pbAddSprite("partybarfoe",-400,yvalue,"Graphics/Pictures/battleLineup",@viewport)
  @sprites["partybarfoe"].visible=true
  @partyAnimPhase=0
end 

def partyAnimationFade
  frame=0
  while(frame<24)
    if @partyAnimPhase!=3
      pbGraphicsUpdate
      next
    end
    frame+=1
    @sprites["partybarfoe"].x+=8
    @sprites["partybarfoe"].opacity-=12
    for i in 0...6
      partyI = i
      @sprites["enemy#{partyI}"].opacity-=12
      @sprites["enemy#{partyI}"].x+=8 if frame >= i*4
    end
    pbGraphicsUpdate
  end
  for i in 0...6
    partyI = i
    pbDisposeSprite(@sprites,"player#{partyI}")
  end
  pbDisposeSprite(@sprites,"partybarfoe")
end

In PokeBattle_Battle

After line:

Code:

opponent=pbGetOwner(index)

Add line

Code:

@scene.partyAnimationRestart(index==1 && @doublebattle) if index != 2

Change:

Code:

end
pbRecallAndReplace(index,newenemy,newenemyname,false,false)

to

Code:

else
  # You can change the time delay for double/Set Option here
  timedelay=64 # Set Option
  timedelay=96 if @doublebattle
  for i in 0...timedelay
    @scene.pbGraphicsUpdate
  end
end
@scene.partyAnimationFade if index!=2
pbRecallAndReplace(index,newenemy,newenemyname,false,false)

Basic and essential for people that want to make a game like official one (like me lol). Thanks for share!

Trying the script, but line @scene.partyAnimationRestart(index==1 && @doublebattle) if index != 2 throws me syntax error. I'm using v17.2.

Tutorial fixed! For some reason, when I copied/pasted, there were two typos on code.

Great! Also line "while(frame<24)" seems to cause syntax error, maybe because of the same problem

I've followed the tutorial step by step, but I got an error:

Code:

---------------------------
[Pokémon Essentials version 17.2]

Exception: NoMethodError

Message: undefined method `x' for nil:NilClass

PokeBattle_Scene:1805:in `partyAnimationUpdate'

PokeBattle_Scene:1426:in `pbGraphicsUpdate'

PokeBattle_Battle:1439:in `pbSwitch'

PokeBattle_Battle:1438:in `each'

PokeBattle_Battle:1438:in `pbSwitch'

PokeBattle_Battle:1405:in `each'

PokeBattle_Battle:1405:in `pbSwitch'

PokeBattle_Battle:4310:in `__clauses__pbEndOfRoundPhase'

PokeBattle_Clauses:42:in `pbEndOfRoundPhase'

PokeBattle_Battle:2778:in `pbStartBattleCore'
---------------------------

The line which the error comes from looks like this, as in the tutorial:

Code:

@sprites["partybarplayer"].x-=16 if @sprites

The line which the error comes from looks like this, as in the tutorial:

Code:

@sprites["partybarplayer"].x-=16 if @sprites

The correct line was:

Code:

@sprites["partybarplayer"].x-=16 if @sprites["partybarplayer"]

When the thread broke, I incorrectly fixed this line.

Now is correctly fixed.
