[Scripting Question] How to create an ability that turns Ice-type moves into Fire-Types and turns Fire-type moves into Ice-types, like a Double Pixilate?

How to create an ability that turns Ice-type moves into Fire-Types and turns Fire-type moves into Ice-types, like a Double Pixilate?

So a Pokemon with this ability would end up having a Fire-type Ice Beam and ice-type Flamethrower.

you'll wanna modify this

Spoiler:

then locate this

Spoiler:

untested, but it should work... hopefully

That's going to change normal moves to Fire type. SuperSpyro, did you try the code I already provided in your other post here?: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=438505. Not sure why you made 2 posts for this

I had my own ability idea like this. I can show you the way I coded it, if that helps.

Part 1 - Flying to Electric

Code:

def pbModifyType(type,attacker,opponent)
    if type>=0
      if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:AVIATOR) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FLYING)
        type=getConst(PBTypes,:FLYING)
      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FLYING)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:TEMPEST) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
          @powerboost=true
        end
      end
    end
    return type
  end

Part 2 - Electric to Flying

Code:

def pbModifyType(type,attacker,opponent)
    if type>=0
      if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:CHARGED) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
        type=getConst(PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:TEMPEST) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FLYING)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:FLYING)
          @powerboost=true
        end
      end
    end
    return type
  end

NOTE: This was an ability concept for Zapdos.

I tried adding both def pbModifyType entries and getting them to work on the same Freezer Burn ability that's meant to x1.2 Fire and Ice moves and swap Fire/Ice around, but it just turns all of my Pokemon's moves into Electric-types. Including moves that are already Electric type.

Did you try this yet?:

If you have the power boost part working, all you should need to do is put the bolded part after "elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:NORMAL)" under def pbModifyType like below:

Code:

      if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:NORMALIZE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:NORMAL)
        type=getConst(PBTypes,:NORMAL)
      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:NORMAL)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:AERILATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FLYING)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:FLYING)
          @powerboost=true
        elsif attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:REFRIGERATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ICE)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:ICE)
          @powerboost=true
        elsif attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:PIXILATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FAIRY)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:FAIRY)
          @powerboost=true
        end
[B]      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:ICE)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:ABILITYNAME) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FIRE)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:FIRE)
          @powerboost=true
        end
      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FIRE)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:ABILITYNAME) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ICE)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:ICE)
          @powerboost=true
        end[/B]
      end

Syntax errors in your new code keep the game from running when it's in.

I'm not getting any syntax errors. Can you send everything in your "def pbModifyType" so I can see if you put it in correctly?

ok

def pbModifyType(type,attacker,opponent)
if type>=0
if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:NORMALIZE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:NORMAL)
type=getConst(PBTypes,:NORMAL)
elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:NORMAL)
if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:AERILATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FLYING)
type=getConst(PBTypes,:FLYING)

type=getConst(PBTypes,:ICE)
@powerboost=true
elsif attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:PIXILATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FAIRY)
type=getConst(PBTypes,:FAIRY)

You have an extra "end"

Removing the extra And fixed things.

I tested the ability against a Geodude and it correctly changed the types, used a Super-effective Flamethrower and a not-very-effective Ice Beam on him. Is it possible to make the ability change the displayed type icon of the moves the pokemon has during battle?

That's going to take a little bit more effort, but this script does that (and also will display type-effectiveness). Also note that this doesn't work with EBS.

Elite Battle System. Don't worry about it if you don't have it.
