You have to define what "Pokemon" is first. I put it in italics in my post as a placeholder, because there's a million ways you could write it.

For example, writing it as

Code:

$Trainer.party[0].setRandomZodiac

Would make the Pokemon in party slot 1 have a random zodiac sign applied.

Ah ok, that can work for the starter, but how can i do it for other gift Pokémon that are received later?

There's a variety of ways that can be done. Look at the sample events that come with essentials (in-game trades and gifts and such) to see what works best for you. Use those as a model.

Well, I do not know if it was just here, but The Voyager's zodiac power only returns the failure message, even if all pokemon are alive... Can you check this please?

Will do. I'm working on a new update right now, so I'll put that on my list to bug test.

Major Update 9/19/18 - Celestial Bosses
With this update, I've been primarily focused on expanding on the lore potential for the birthsign mechanic, so ive created a new layer to the project utilizing the Event add-on script. This new feature will add Celestial Bosses to your game - boss encounters that are representative of each of the birthsigns. I'll get into much more detail about that below. But first, allow me to introduce some other updates, including a small expansion to the total birthsign count.

Fun Fact: I started working on this update around the time that Simon Belmont was revealed for Smash Bros., and many of the features in this update revolve around things like vampires, the night, souls, and other macabre elements. There are even a couple of Castlevania music tracks that I threw in here. I didn't realize any of this until after I was done, but its kinda funny to think I may have been subconsciously influenced by Castlevania lol.

Updates

Spoiler:

New Birthsigns

Spoiler:

0. 'The Void'

Constellation: None
Type: None
Effect: None
Zodiac Power: None

This isn't really a "new" sign, it's really not even a sign at all. What this is, is simply the "No sign" option (Birthsign 0), but I've now given it it's own name, graphics, and lore. Previously, if a month's sign was set to zero, there would sometimes be unintended errors with certain mechanics (for example, the Journal returning an error and crashing). So I decided not only to fix this, but I thought why not just incorporate the concept of "nothingness" into the birthsign lore itself? So from now on, sign #0 will be known as 'The Void'. The Void is a place before time and space. This is the realm Arceus resided in before creating the world. This realm of nothingness existed prior to stars, and by extension, constellations. This is why this "sign" has no effects, no powers, or bonuses. Arceus is the only Pokemon that this sign will be displayed on.
31. 'The Vampire'

Constellation: Gliscor
Type: Movement
Effect: When born under this sign, Pokemon in the party with this sign will rapidly heal HP with each step taken at night. However, if a Pokemon with this sign leads the party during the day, they will take damage instead, and also become burned.

Zodiac Power: Halves the opponent's remaining HP, and restores the user's HP by the same amount of damage dealt. This counts as an absorption effect, and is affected by things like Big Root and Liquid Ooze.
32. 'The Soulmate'

Constellation: Plusle & Minun
Type: Battle Lead
Effect: When born under this sign, the Pokemon will only encounter wild Pokemon that have one of the Partner signs associated with the user's birthsign. This effect will take place regardless of what the WILDBIRTHSIGNS toggle is set to.

Zodiac Power: In a double battle, if the user and its partner have compatible birthsigns, then the party will be twice as likely to trigger secondary effects from attacks for 4 turns (Rainbow effect).
33. 'The Cultist'

Constellation: Hypno
Type: Field Skill
Effect: When born under this sign, the Pokemon has access to the 'Summon' skill from the menu; allowing it to sacrifice it's own stats to initiate a battle with a wild shadow Pokemon that was pulled from the void. Summoning can only take place outdoors during the nighttime. The rarity of the encountered species depends on the user's Summon Rank.

Summon Ranks range from S Rank - the highest rank - down to E Rank, the lowest. A Pokemon's Summon Rank is determined by a formula that includes both their Level, and overall IV quality. The higher the user's Summon Rank, the better the Pokemon that can be summoned. However, each time a Pokemon is summoned, all of the user's IV's drop by a certain number of points. If the user's IV's all drop to zero, they can no longer summon anymore.

  Possible Summons (Lvl 2-9):
  
  Summon Cost:
  
  The user loses 1 IV in each stat per summon

The user's Summon Rank is displayed in blue when the Summon skill is selected.

*All summoned species have maxed IV's, and may be carrying a random item such as shards, fossils, evolution stones, or valuable treasures. You cannot summon if a dependent event is following you (unless its a Pokemon follower).
Zodiac Power: The user cuts its own HP in half in order to place a curse on all opponents (Curse effect).

Spoiler:

One big change with this update is that every Birthsign's Zodiac Power now has its own unique name. Previously, you were forced to clumsily refer to them like "The Voyager's Power", or something like that.

Fixes and Updates

Spoiler:

Birthsign Effects

'The Beacon' - Starlight Skill
The screen will now fade to black before the skill takes effect.
'The Prodigy' - Ability Swap Skill
This skill will no longer appear in the menu if the user has no other Abilities to swap to.
'The Voyager' - Navigate Skill
The screen will now fade to black before the skill takes effect.
This skill may now properly work when a Pokemon is following you, but will still be unusable when followed by any other dependent event.
'The Fugitive' - Escape Skill
The screen will now fade to black before the skill takes effect.
This skill may now properly work when a Pokemon is following you, but will still be unusable when followed by any other dependent event.
'The Cleric' - Cure Skill
Fixed a text bug that would name the wrong Pokemon as being cured by the skill.
'The Ancestor' - Inherit Skill
As it is now, this sign makes it so that the user's offspring will inherit its EV spread. However, this means that this skill was completely useless on Pokemon who are incapable of breeding. To fix this, I've added a new menu skill for this sign called "Inherit". This skill will only appear on unbreedable species that have this sign. When used, the user may transfer all of its EV's to another Pokemon in the party. This sign still functions as it normally has for breedable species.
'The Specialist' - Re-Roll Skill
Now displays the user's current Hidden Power type during the type selection process.
'The Eternal' - Reincarnate Skill
Using this skill to change birthsigns now counts as a blessing, and thus the user will not be able to have its sign changed through a different blessing. Also, Celestial Pokemon who use this skill will retain the same sign (but still have its level and other attributes reset), as well as the same OT data.
'The Bard' - Harmonize Skill
The screen will now fade to black before the skill takes effect.

Zodiac Powers

Battle text for all Zodiac Powers changed to include their new names.
Understudy
Fixed a text bug that would say the effect failed in certain situations when it really didn't.
Blinding Light
The accuracy drop effect now affects the user's partner, too.
Feral Frenzy
Using this effect with Pokemon who have 1HP remaining will no longer make them faint. Shedinja can finally use this power! Lol
Tour Guide
Changed the battle text for this power so that it's no longer awkward or confusing to read in certain situations. It should also no longer display failure messages in situations where it should work.
Escape Artist
As with Tour Guide, the battle text for this power has been changed up so that it shouldn't sound confusing in certain situations anymore.
Ambush
Damage dealt with this zodiac power has been increased to 1/4th the target's HP, up from 1/8th. Damage dealt to sleeping targets has also been increased to 1/2 the target's HP, up from 1/4th.
Corner Strike
Battle text tweaked a bit to make it less confusing.
Lottery
Life Drain has been added to the list of random powers that may be generated.
Table Turn
Fixed a text issue that would repeat the same messages multiple times in a row.
Big Gamble
Completely changed this Zodiac Power's effects.
Previously: Reduced a random stat by 3 stages to boost its partner's stat by 3 stages.
New effect: The user has one random stat reduced by 2 stages, and a different stat is increased by 2 stages. The same effect is applied to the nearest opponent, too.

Other Changes

Spoiler:

Merged Events - Birthstone and Sign Converter
The "Birthstone" and "Sign Converter" events in the Birthsign Events script have now been merged into a single event. Previously, a Birthstone event would grant a sign to a Pokemon if it didn't already have a birthsign, while the Sign Converter event would change a Pokemon's existing sign into a different one. The Sign Converter features have now simply been rolled into the Birthstone Event, so it now does both things.

A Birthstone event will now grant a Pokemon without a sign a birthsign, or allow you to change a Pokemon's existing sign. Utilizing a Birthstone event will now also count as a blessing, preventing the Pokemon from having its sign changed again.
Zodiac Power Toggle
You may now turn off Zodiac Powers in the Birthsigns script by setting the INCLUDE_ZPOWER toggle to "false". This may be useful for you if you're interested in utilizing certain features of this project, but aren't interested in adding Zodiac Powers.

Toggle for Zodiac Powers.

When Zodiac Powers are toggled off, the following features will no longer be available:
- The Zodiac Power button will no longer appear in battle.
- NPC trainers may no longer activate Zodiac Powers.
- The Birthsigns Journal will no longer display Zodiac Power information.
- Pokemon that are hatched with Partner sign breeding bonuses may no longer be holding Zodiac Gems.
- Celestial Bosses will no longer hold Zodiac Gems when encountered.
Switches - Celestials & Summons
Two switch numbers are required to turn Celestial and Summon battles on/off, respectively. These numbers are 109 and 110 by default. If you're already using these switch numbers for something else, you may change them to whatever works best for you. You can find these switches near the top of the main birthsigns script.

Switch numbers for summons and celestial battles.
Expanded Debug Options
The birthsign options in the debug menu are now displayed and organized in a neater way to make the options easier to understand. In addition, there are now options to set Blessing and Celestial flags on Pokemon for testing purposes.

The new Debug menu for birthsigns.
Zodiac Gems - Fling
The move Fling will no longer fail when the user is holding a Zodiac Gem. The item will now be properly thrown and inflict 110BP worth of damage to the target.
Ritual Animation
The birthsign animation that plays out when utilizing menu skills and such now supports animated Pokemon sprites, so the Pokemon will no longer be frozen during the animation.
Text Highlights
When using birthsign skills in the menu, key words in the text will now be highlighted blue so its easier to catch important information at a glance. This is also true for text displayed in the Events script, which will highlight things such as birthsigns and boss names.
Family Tree Integration
One of my favorite scripts, FL's Family Tree, is now fully compatible with Pokemon Birthsigns by default. To install his script, simply paste his code where he says, and install the proper graphics. You can ignore the rest of his instructions - all of his changes are already present in my script. In order to activate these changes, you must simply set the SHOW_FAMILYTREE toggle to "true" at the top of the birthsigns script.

Toggles for secondary scripts.
Following Pokemon - Birthsign Messages
For those using the Following Pokemon script, ive added some more messages that may be displayed when talking to your Pokemon that are based on that Pokemon's birthsign. These messages will play out 25% of the time, if no other messages take priority. Otherwise, you'll just get one of the default generic messages.

Examples:

Pikachu with 'The Thief' sign.

Zigzagoon with 'The Fugitive' sign.

Installation

Spoiler:

~All of the above will be added to the main post.

nice work adding the celestials and other things shame essentials seems to be a bit buggy with some of the alt form scripts got tonnes of ideas using these scripts in my game

i take it refering to the trainers sign is still a no go?

Depends what you want out of the trainer signs. They still don't actually DO anything (im open to ideas if you have any - I havent thought of anything interesting that i wouldn't rather put on the actual Pokemon themselves). The trainer signs are determined simply by your adventure start time though, so I suppose you could call on them if you really wanted to, since calling on the adventure start time is possible.

So you could probably just do something like:

Code:

PBBirthsigns.getName($PokemonGlobal.startTime.mon)

for example, if you wanted to get the name of the player's sign. But other than calling for its name, I don't know what else you'd need to call it for.

Maybe something like:

Code:

$Trainer.party[0].setBirthsign($PokemonGlobal.startTime.mon)

to give the Pokemon in party slot 1 the same birthsign as its trainer, as an example.

That's about all I can really think of doing with it. Ive thought about changing this so that the player can input their actual birthday and have their player sign based on that instead, but it seems like too much work for something that is currently nothing but cosmetic.

p.claydon · Sep 27, 2018

well my idea was to have it be used for certain poke evo and would determin other events in game that dont have much effect in the gameplay or story but would result in changes depending on the sign. in general could be an alternate way to activate the zodiac powers or feild abilities (that they either need the stone and/or the trainer needs a corresponding sign

Sounds like a lot of that could simply be done by calling on the player's starting time (specifically, the month) like I showed in my examples. Since like I said, the player's sign and the adventure start time are effectively the same thing. Like maybe setting up an if-then statement where it says something like "if starting month is February, then Pokemon X evolves into Pokemon Y." You don't even need the Birthsign script to pull something like that off.

p.claydon · Sep 28, 2018

yh i hadnt realised you could do that either untill you showed it

Mashirosakura · Sep 29, 2018

Hmm...How does capturing Vymm & Vygor work, since it's a double battle? Considering you can only catch one pokemon during a double battle.

Yeah, you can only capture one of them. They both have the same sign and thus both have the ability to bestow the same blessing, so it's a matter of preference I guess in which one to catch.

Mashirosakura · Sep 29, 2018

hmm...well I suppose I can figure a way of getting both of them.

Lucidious89 · Sep 29, 2018

If you'd like. I guess I sort of intended for them to be almost like a version exclusive sort of deal, where you pick one to catch and then have to trade to get the other. I know that doesn't necessarily translate into a fangame that well. But I guess there's nothing stopping you from having them appear separately. Like maybe after capturing one, the other can be found again later in its own isolated quest in a single battle.

Hello there!

After updating birthsigns scripts, i've got an error at the start of the game, ex: Player starts inside his house, then we go outside to go to the prof. lab. The error cames from outside maps. And i think that it is related with the Vampire birthsign.
Note that i haven't any pokemon yet and i haven't the birthsign, so how can i fix this?
The error line is red, so you can find it quickly and the error cames from the main script.
Thx in advance.

Good catch. This has been fixed. If you don't want to re-install the entire birthsign script, you can just replace the entire code for 'The Vampire' you posted above with this new one:

Code:

#===============================================================================
# Birthsign - The Vampire
# Heals user while walking at night. Harms/Burns user while walking in daylight.
#===============================================================================
Events.onStepTakenTransferPossible+=proc {|sender,e|
  handled = e[0]
  next if handled[0]
  if $PokemonGlobal.stepcount%4==0
    flashed = false
    firstpoke=$Trainer.party[0]
    if !$Trainer.party.length==0
      # Harms/Burns the user with each step outside during the day when leading.
      if (PBDayNight.isDay? && pbGetMetadata($game_map.map_id,MetadataOutdoor) &&
         firstpoke.birthsign==31 && !firstpoke.fainted?)
        if !flashed
          $game_screen.start_flash(Color.new(255,0,0,128), 4)
          flashed = true
        end
        firstpoke.hp -= 1 if firstpoke.hp>0
        # Immune to Burn effect if the user has the following Abilities/Type
        if (!firstpoke.isConst?(firstpoke.ability,PBAbilities,:WATERVEIL) &&
            !firstpoke.isConst?(firstpoke.ability,PBAbilities,:WATERBUBBLE) &&
            !firstpoke.isConst?(firstpoke.ability,PBAbilities,:COMATOSE) &&
            !firstpoke.pbHasType?(:FIRE))
          firstpoke.status = 3
        end
        if firstpoke.hp==0
          firstpoke.changeHappiness("faint")
          firstpoke.status = 0
          Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} fainted...",firstpoke.name))
          if defined? pbToggleFollowingPokemon
            $PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.refresh_sprite
          end
        end
        if pbAllFainted
          handled[0] = true
          pbCheckAllFainted
        end
      end
      # Heals all users in the party with each step at night.
      if PBDayNight.isNight?
        for i in $Trainer.ablePokemonParty
          if i.birthsign==31
            i.hp += 1 if i.hp<i.totalhp
            i.status = 0
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
}
