Hi there.
Whenever I receive an egg from the daycare I get the error below.
The daycare script is untouched. Perhaps the problem is in the Pokemon PBS?
I tried several Pokémon, with and without ditto. Always the same.
Any ideas? Googling didn't turn up anything useful.

I'm using Essentials 16.2


The error log:
-------------------------
Code:
Exception: RuntimeError

I found the problem.

How Essentials generates eggs is by checking what the earliest pre-evolution of the parent pokemon is.

Well, in my game I gave them the ability to "de-evolve" by using an item, which is technically still an evolution.

What this means is that the program will loop around the same evolution line eternally, never finding the earliest evolution.

So either I'll have to find a different method of de-evolving or sacrifice either this function or the day-care altogether. :/

How does your "de-evolve" work?

I managed to get this working, and I had no issues breeding.
paste in PItem_ItemEffects
Code:
ItemHandlers::UseOnPokemon.add(:DEVOLUTIONSTONE,proc{|item,pokemon,scene|
   if isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:NINETALES)
     pokemon.species=PBSpecies::VULPIX
     pokemon.calcStats
     scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("NINETALES devolved into VULPIX."))
     scene.pbHardRefresh
   else
     scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It won't have any effect."))
   end
 })

Change a Ninetales back into a Vulpix.

Thank you! This line of code works exactly how I wanted it to. I've been trying to figure this out for hours now. ^^ Now I just need to do this for every mon in the game. :p

How my de-evolution worked is that in the pokemon.txt each evolved pokemon could evolve into the previous evolution via an item. It worked really nicely until I discovered the overflow bug with the breading.

Thanks again. :) I should be able to get it to work now with a couple of hours work.
