[Scripting Question] [SOLVED] How to show Pokemon's current form on summary screen?

mucka33 · Aug 23, 2020

As the title says. I have a page set up to show EVs and IVs (credit: https://reliccastle.com/resources/319/), and I want to replace where it has the ability to instead display the pokemon's current form name. Is that possible? I don't know what script call to use to display form data of the current pokemon. Here's my relevant coding:

Code:

textpos = [
       [_INTL("HP"),248,88,0,base,shadow],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[0],@pokemon.iv[0]),456,88,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Attack"),248,120,0,base,statshadows[0]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[1],@pokemon.iv[1]),456,120,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Defense"),248,152,0,base,statshadows[1]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[2],@pokemon.iv[2]),456,152,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Sp. Atk"),248,184,0,base,statshadows[3]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[3],@pokemon.iv[3]),456,184,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Sp. Def"),248,216,0,base,statshadows[4]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[4],@pokemon.iv[4]),456,216,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Speed"),248,248,0,base,statshadows[2]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[5],@pokemon.iv[5]),456,248,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Form"),224,284,0,base,shadow],
    ]
    pbDrawTextPositions(overlay,textpos)
    [COLOR="Red"]formname = pbLoadFormsData(@species)[/COLOR]
    drawTextEx(overlay,224,316,282,2,[COLOR="Red"]formname[/COLOR],Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176))
  end

In red are the spots I know I am absolutely doing wrong. I'm not super great with RGSS yet, woops. I appreciate all the help, thank you!

Look at how PScreen_PokedexEntry and see how the form names are displayed there.

Yeah, I've tried copying from the Pokedex scripts but sometimes I get errors, other times it just doesn't display anything. The best I've got is what I have in my first post. Again, not super familiar with what I should be grabbing :(

You'll all be glad to know that after a year and a half, I have figured out how to display forms! This pulls data from the Pokemon PBS file's own FormName=NAME HERE, so it's super simple to customize however you want :) Just add FormName to all your Pokemon in the PBS and write whatever you want in there! For example you could do ---, or Unovan, or even silly things like 'smol birb'

Code:

textpos = [
       [_INTL("HP"),248,88,0,base,shadow],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[0],@pokemon.iv[0]),456,88,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Attack"),248,120,0,base,statshadows[0]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[1],@pokemon.iv[1]),456,120,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Defense"),248,152,0,base,statshadows[1]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[2],@pokemon.iv[2]),456,152,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Sp. Atk"),248,184,0,base,statshadows[3]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[3],@pokemon.iv[3]),456,184,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Sp. Def"),248,216,0,base,statshadows[4]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[4],@pokemon.iv[4]),456,216,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Speed"),248,248,0,base,statshadows[2]],
       [sprintf("%d/%d",@pokemon.ev[5],@pokemon.iv[5]),456,248,1,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176)],
       [_INTL("Form"),224,284,0,base,shadow],
    ]
    
    # Draw all text
    pbDrawTextPositions(overlay,textpos)
    fSpecies = pbGetFSpeciesFromForm(@pokemon.species,@pokemon.form)
    formname = pbGetMessage(MessageTypes::FormNames,fSpecies)
    drawTextEx(overlay,224,316,282,2,formname,Color.new(64,64,64),Color.new(176,176,176))
end
