Better PokeCenters

mej71 · Dec 20, 2015

This script/accompanying event generates a new animation for the pokecenter; both displaying the balls on the healing machine one at a time, and uses the appropriate graphics to reflect what balls your pokemon are in (Master, Great, Dive, etc)

When copying and pasting scripts from pokecommunity, use Thread Tools -> Printable Version
There is a formatting problem that breaks some scripts. If you encounter a "Syntax error", your lack of reading this warning is most likely the cause.

First thing, add this script in a new section above the main.

Spoiler:

Code:

class MakeHealingBallGraphics

  def initialize
    balls=[]
    for poke in $Trainer.party
      balls.push(poke.ballused) if !poke.isEgg?
    end
    return false if balls.length==0
    @sprites={}
    @viewport=Viewport.new(0,0,Graphics.width,Graphics.height)
    @viewport.z=999999
    for i in 0...balls.length
      @sprites["ball#{i}"]=Sprite.new(@viewport)
      if pbResolveBitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Balls/ball_#{balls[i]}.png")
        @sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap=Bitmap.new("Graphics/Pictures/Balls/ball_#{balls[i]}.png")
      else
        @sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap=Bitmap.new("Graphics/Pictures/Balls/ball_0.png")
      end
      @sprites["ball#{i}"].visible=false
    end
    bitmap1=Bitmap.new(128,192)
    bitmap2=Bitmap.new(128,192)
    rect1=Rect.new(0,0,128,192/4)
    rect2=Rect.new(0,0,128,192/4)
    for i in 0...balls.length
      case i
      when 0
        bitmap1.blt(20,50,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
        bitmap1.blt(20,98,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
        bitmap1.blt(20,146,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
      when 1
        bitmap2.blt(0,50,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
        bitmap2.blt(0,98,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
        bitmap2.blt(0,146,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
      when 2
        bitmap1.blt(20,106,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
        bitmap1.blt(20,154,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
      when 3
        bitmap2.blt(0,106,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
        bitmap2.blt(0,154,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
      when 4
        bitmap1.blt(20,162,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
      when 5
        bitmap2.blt(0,162,@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
      end
      Graphics.update
    end
    if RTP.exists?("Graphics/Characters/Healing balls left.png")
      File.delete("Graphics/Characters/Healing balls left.png")
    end
    if RTP.exists?("Graphics/Characters/Healing balls right")
      File.delete("Graphics/Characters/Healing balls right")
    end
    bitmap1.saveToPng("Graphics/Characters/Healing balls left.png")
    bitmap2.saveToPng("Graphics/Characters/Healing balls right.png")
    pbDisposeSpriteHash(@sprites)
    @viewport.dispose
    bitmap1.dispose
    bitmap2.dispose
  end
end

And add this folder (which contains the graphics for each ball) into Graphics/Pictures

Now, for setting up the events.
Instead of making this overcomplicated, I've just made an example map with the necessary events.
Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/05bi57377zg76b6/Map009.rxdata
Note that this map's number is 009, so you'll probably have to change that before adding it to your game to avoid overwriting a previous map.

Video of this working:

PS: To add a new ball's graphic, just put it in the same folder. Named "ball_X", where X is it's ID number (if you'd added a new ball, you've defined this.) If a ball graphic is not found for a particular ball, it defaults to "ball_0", which is a pokeball.

This is pretty interesting! I think I'll use this!

HarmonyConcept · Dec 29, 2015

I tried this and it's working fine. Thanks a lot!

Letrax · Feb 14, 2016

Wow looks awesome thx :3

khkramer · Feb 16, 2016

Looks great!
I'll be using this for sure.
Thanks for creating and sharing this.

Hi, I've tried to use this script, but it didn't work for me, maybe someone can explain me how to make it work?

Codyprice13 · Mar 8, 2018

Is there anyone who edited the script to be like generation 5 way that could help me out I ain't good with scripts. I'm using the black and white tileset and I can't figure out how to do it.

I would imagine that this is where the script displays the balls on the screen. (I could be wrong though)

Code:

when 0
        bitmap1.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]20,50[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
        bitmap1.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]20,98[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
        bitmap1.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]20,146[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
      when 1
        bitmap2.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]0,50[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
        bitmap2.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]0,98[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
        bitmap2.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]0,146[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
      when 2
        bitmap1.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]20,106[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
        bitmap1.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]20,154[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
      when 3
        bitmap2.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]0,106[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
        bitmap2.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]0,154[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
      when 4
        bitmap1.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]20,162[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect1)
      when 5
        bitmap2.blt([B][I][COLOR="Red"]0,162[/COLOR][/I][/B],@sprites["ball#{i}"].bitmap,rect2)
      end

balls with a 0 for the first number is on the left and ball with a 20 for the first number being on the right, the second number should be how high on the screen the ball is placed. you can play with these numbers to get the layout you want.

Codyprice13 · Mar 20, 2018

That doesn't work I tried because how the events are placed doesn't allow them to be put in the proper place because they go out of the event window I don't know how to properly explain it I hope you get what I mean half of the graphic appears one side of the event and half on the other side.
If anyone finds out how to make it work please tell me.
I just need to know how to move the event over a little then it will be fine.
