Error when trainer tries to use an item

    • On Essentials 16.2, when a trainer tries to use one of the items specified on its PBS file, an error occurs.

    Code: 
    Exception: NoMethodError

Message: undefined method `>=' for nil:NilClass

PokeBattle_Battle:1609:in `pbRegisterItem'

PokeBattle_AI:3767:in `pbEnemyShouldUseItem?'

PokeBattle_AI:4056:in `pbDefaultChooseEnemyCommand'

PokeBattle_Scene:2747:in `pbChooseEnemyCommand'

PokeBattle_Battle:2738:in `pbCommandPhase_ebs'

PokeBattle_Battle:2733:in `each'

PokeBattle_Battle:2733:in `pbCommandPhase_ebs'

EliteBattle_Battle:292:in `pbCommandPhase'

EliteBattle_Battle:222:in `pbStartBattleCore'

EliteBattle_Battle:221:in `logonerr'
    I think this is because idxTarget, a parameter of the method pbEnemyShouldUseItem? (in PokéBattle_AI), is nil by default and is passed as nil in pbRegisterItem (in PokéBattle_Battle).

    But I don't know how to solve this error.

    The items are specified as follows in the PBS file, just in case I've made a mistake there:

    Code: 
    POKEMANIAC
Hubert

    I'm not sure if it's the exact same, but I used to get an error with trainer using items when I thought I had a clean, unmodified 16.2. It wasn't clean and definitely not 16.2 Are you sure you're on the latest version?

    • My money is on them using a difficulty modifier (game mode) script. Probably the one by Shiney570. That one seems to bug out the game AI.

    No, I haven't added any scripts that modify the vanilla battle system, apart from Elite Battle System, but that doesn't change anything regarding to where the error is.
    Although I did alter some of the vanilla battle scripts to add some features, I've never touched the AI parts of the code. I even made a diff of the original 16.0 Essentials scripts vs the one in my project and the scripts regarding the methods I've mentioned and they are identical.

    I am 100% sure that it is version 16.2 as I always make a version.txt file with the version of Essentials everytime I update.

    EDIT: Well this is weird. I downloaded a new unmodified 16.2 patch and it's a bit different. Maybe I replaced the 16.2 scripts with the 16.0 version by accident.

    I don't necessarily doubt, but are you sure that when you update, you update properly, according to the wikia?

    Yes, although it was a bit simpler because I had started with 16.0 and then inmediately after updated to 16.2. But now that I recall, I remember that I had a time in which some of my custom scripts were lost because I had accidentally replaced a Script file while solving an issue with the editor scripts. That might probably have been when the 16.0 scripts got mixed in.

    I guess I'll have to manually update the scripts.
