Hi!
I want to do that something happens if I take one Celebi and five pokemon Water type in the team. (To open the entry to a cave.)

I tried to do this, but it me did not work:

Condition and effect--> $Trainer.ablePokemonCount<=1
Condition and effect--> pbHasSpecies?(PBSpecies::CELEBI)
Condition and effect--> $Trainer.ablePokemonCount<=2
Condition and effect--> pbHasType?(PBTypes::WATER)
Condition and effect--> $Trainer.ablePokemonCount<=3
Condition and effect--> pbHasType?(PBTypes::WATER)
Condition and effect--> $Trainer.ablePokemonCount<=4
Condition and effect--> pbHasType?(PBTypes::WATER)
Condition and effect--> $Trainer.ablePokemonCount<=5
Condition and effect--> pbHasType?(PBTypes::WATER)
Condition and effect--> $Trainer.ablePokemonCount<=6
Condition and effect--> pbHasType?(PBTypes::WATER)

Have I been wrong in something?

I would use this instead... Paste this in to a new script section above Main.
Code: 
  def countType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]=0
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[0].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[1].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[2].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[3].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[4].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[5].hasType?(type)
  end
Change 90 to another variable number or don't, whatever.

you have a small error:

Code: 
  def countType?(type)
    [COLOR="Red"]$game_variables[90]=0[/COLOR]
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[0].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[1].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[2].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[3].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[4].hasType?(type)
    $game_variables[90]+=1 if $Trainer.party[5].hasType?(type)
  end

without that extra line activating the function multiple COULD (not saying will as it could get reset elsewhere) get the variable to 6+ which would be a bad glitch

Forgot to mention that I use this for something similar and the Variable is changed in the event to something else lol. Thanks.

Personally I'd put the call to the method in the parameter of a Conditional Branch, and have the method return true if all the conditions match and false otherwise. It saves mucking around with a variable.

Also, the code provided above doesn't answer the question as stated, as it will neither count Celebi (which isn't Water type) nor will it ignore eggs. The method may as well be tailored specifically to this use.

Code: 
def pbCanOpenCelebiCave
  return false if !pbHasSpecies?(:CELEBI)
  count=0
  for poke in $Trainer.pokemonParty
    next if isConst?(poke.species,PBSpecies,:CELEBI)
    count+=1 if poke.hasType?(:WATER)
  end
  return (count==5)
end
I believe that'll work without fail. It doesn't matter which position the Celebi is in, just as long as there's one in there. Eggs are ignored, and both pure-Water and half-Water Pokémon are counted. Fainted Pokémon can also be counted, which I'm guessing is acceptable since fainted Pokémon can do other things in the overworld anyway (i.e. use HMs).

That's nice code there Maruno, and just to let you know, the code I wrote is part of a bigger class, and does something in my game where variable 90 needs to be something, then is changed to something else, however, it pretty much does what he wanted :D so I shared... Which is why it doesn't check for Celebi.

But the reason I am commenting was, I couldn't find on wiki or in the scripts (because I didn't know what I was searching for), how to search an entire party... Is the $Trainer.pokemonParty, what checks a whole party?

Thank you very much. It works perfectly. :)

$Trainer.pokemonParty is the same as $Trainer.party but without the eggs.
$Trainer.ablePokemonParty is the same as $Trainer.pokemonParty but without the fainted Pokémon.

You check through them by using a for poke in $Trainer.pokemonParty loop.

I've added some information to the Party page.
