[Scripting Question] Help for "Shaman Shield" ability

You can use this check to see if a Pokemon in the party has Ghost-type (I haven't tested this, but took it from something similar). You'll need to replace "user" in the first line with whoever the battler is that has the ability. This will exclude fainted Pokemon and the active Pokemon, but it's an easy fix if you want it to include them:

Code:

    [email protected](user.index)
    partyGhost=false
    for i in 0...party.length
      next if attacker.pokemonIndex==i
      if party[i] && !party[i].egg? && party[i].hp>0 && party[i].hasType?(:GHOST)
        partyGhost=true
        break
      end
    end

You can use the variable partyGhost for seeing if there's a ghost Pokemon in the party (true if there is, false otherwise). I'm not sure what you mean by "with the ability's holder", but you could add that check in "if party && !party.egg? && party.hp>0 && party.hasType?(:GHOST)"

def pbPartyGhostCheck
  [email protected](:ABSOL.index)
    partyGhost=false
    for i in 0...party.length
      next if attacker.pokemonIndex==i
      if party[i] && !party[i].egg? && party[i].hp>0 && party[i].hasType?(:GHOST)
        partyGhost=true
        break
      end
    end

if !user.hasMoldBreaker && target.hasWorkingAbility(:SHAMANSHIELD) &&
         type>=0 && typemod<=8 && partyGhost=true
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} avoided damage with Shaman Shield!",target.pbThis))
        PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{target.pbThis}'s Shaman Shield")
        return false 
      end

I think I figured it out.
I made a new section for the partyGhost variable

Code:

def pbPartyGhostCheck
  [email protected](:ABSOL.index)
    partyGhost=false
    for i in 0...party.length
      next if attacker.pokemonIndex==i
      if party[i] && !party[i].egg? && party[i].hp>0 && party[i].hasType?(:GHOST)
        partyGhost=true
        break
      end
    end

And had Shaman Shield run off of the partyGhost=true in addition to other Wonder Guard traits

Code:

if !user.hasMoldBreaker && target.hasWorkingAbility(:SHAMANSHIELD) &&
         type>=0 && typemod<=8 && partyGhost=true
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} avoided damage with Shaman Shield!",target.pbThis))
        PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{target.pbThis}'s Shaman Shield")
        return false 
      end

If I need to fix anything, tell me.
