Script for Disguise

Diego Mertens · Feb 11, 2019

Mmmmh... I was looking for something like that but... What i have to search? I'm not sure. Did I have to search the "trasformed!" line, or the transform animation?

Mimikyu gets it's disguise back when it gets switched out. I don't think that's supposed to happen, unless I'm wrong.

I would just search for the message that is displaying twice. The one I coded has the line "disguise was busted" so you could search for that.
Now, in my script there are two messages, but they are different:

Mimikyu's disguise served as a decoy
Mimikyu's disguise was busted.

If you're getting the exact same message twice, something probably got added wrong.

No, you're right; it shouldn't get it's disguise back. That didn't happen when I tested it though. If you're running into that problem, then for some reason your script is not changing the actual Pokemon's form, just the Battler. (In Essentials, the in battle Pokemon is actually just a copy of the party Pokemon).
Make sure that you have these scripts defined in class PokeBattle_Pokemon (mine were in the script section for Mega Evolution, but it should be the same class).

Code:

def makeBusted f = self.getBustedForm self.form = f end def getBustedForm if isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:MIMIKYU) && self.hasAbility?(:DISGUISE) return 1 else return-1 end end

I deleted and re-inserted all the scripts and it's still reverting back to it's disguised form when switched out. Is there anything I'm still missing? Maybe something with the PBS files?
I don't know, I'm really confused here.

I just double checked mine, and it definitely stays busted on switch in. The problem shouldn't be the PBS files. The only thing you do there are list the ability and assign it to a Pokemon.

Do you have anything listed for disguise in abilitiesOnSwitchIn? That's something a lot of form changes use, but this script doesn't

The other area to look is the pbBust and makeBusted to make sure that they are changing the actual Pokemon's form, not just the battlers.

I just installed the script, but my Mimikyu still does get hit and the ability doesn't activate...

Check again all steps carefully, because its all works fine.
PS: Did you have sprite to Mimikyu Busted? Also, you add in 'pokemonform.txt' MIMIKYU[-1]?

Yes I do have the sprite, and didn't add in pokemonform.txt

With all that finished, you should now have functioning code for the Disguise ability. Enjoy and use responsibly!
And of course, credit is appreciated if you use it.

Hey Poq, when i use Fury Attack or Water Shuriken (a move attack that have more than one hit), this is happens:

And Mimikyu uses Copy Cat and inflict me damage with Water Shuriken, but to the first hit, its use the same "lol move animation" than Greninja does.

Do you know why?

So, I'm not sure I follow exactly what's happening, but it seems like it might be more of an animation issue? Maybe the ability message triggering throws off the sequence of animations? I'm really not sure. I haven't used this script with EBS, either, so thre may be a compatibility issue I'm not aware of.

I'll try to look into it and see if it's reproducible, but it might be a couple days before I have the time.

No no, im not usin EBS. I just add message ability yet.

Okay, I couldn't quite tell from the gif. I would start by looking at the ability message script and then at the copycat script.

This script in PField_Battles is supposed to make Mimikyu go back to disguised for after battle right?
How come it's not working for me?

P.S: I managed to fix the error I had before with mimikyu not staying busted after being switched out. For some reason Mimikyu was in pbResetForm. All I had to do was take it out. The issue above is a new issue.

I would check out "def makeDisguised"
Make sure that it's defined in the class PokeBattle_Pokemon, and make sure that the code the makes sense. It should check what the pokémon's busted form is, check its current form, and if they match, change the form back to the base form.

Hey WolfPP. I did a bunch of testing with Water Shuriken, Disguise, and Copycat, and I haven't been able to reproduce this error. Everything was working as expected, so my guess is that the ability message are interfering with the multi-hit attacks somehow.

I fixed, Poq! The problem was about Water Shuriken's move animation. I just deleted and works corretly (without that 'dark move' after first hit). Amem nothing about Message Ability.

How can I Use This With EBS?

Adapt for, using CTRL+Shift+F and find. If EBS script haves or not that part of code too, if so, add.

Have you tried it yet? Since EBS doesn't edit the actual battle logic, I don't expect there would be any issues, though I have not tested it myself.
