[Scripting Question] Last Pokemon dialogue and music change

LordBN0 · Apr 12, 2020

Hey,

looking to implement dialogue and a music change on the last Pokemon in my game.

I've been searching around and there doesn't seem to be a post available with the code for this or instructions on how to implement it. (i'm not using EBS)

was wondering if anyone could help by linking or maybe posting it in the comments?

It would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi! I successfully added this feature using a script by Venom12 and HelioAU (I can't link due to not having enough posts here)

First, go to PokeBattle_Battle (note: PokeBattle_Battle is separate from PokeBattle_Battler, easy to confuse the two).

Find def pbSendOut(index,pokemon).

Within this, look for @scene.pbTrainerSendOut(index,pokemon). Underneath this, add the following code:

If you need any help, feel free to ask :)

Hey,

thanks for the code, just want to specify 2 things (silly questions but they're still questions)
when you mean underneath do you mean something like this?

@scene.pbTrainerSendOut(index,pokemon)

*code you linked pasted here*
end
end

or something like this?

@scene.pbTrainerSendOut(index,pokemon)
end
*code you posted here*
end
end

and also the code has two sample ones right? (as shown by trainer 1 and 2?)

sorry if this seems silly i just want to make sure i don't f it up

thanks

I'm happy to help, those questions are not silly at all :)

1. Immediately after @scene.pbTrainerSendOut(index,pokemon), so the first one

2. Yup! If you want to add even more, just add another elseif after @scene.pbHideOpponent

Good luck! I'll be here if you have any trouble.

hey heres a visual reference my code

it doesn't seem to be working and an error message pops up as i try and load the game
is there anything evidently wrong?

DannyPhantump · Apr 13, 2020

The only mistake you made was that you put your code under pbSendOut(index,pokemon) instead of pbTrainerSendOut(index,pokemon).

Below is what my entire def pbSendOut(index,pokemon) function looks like:

Hey LordBN0, I moved your thread to the Pokemon Essentials forum. This is the place for Essentials Questions.

Hey there! I used this exact code for the game I am making, and once the trainer left the screen after saying their line, the opponent's Pokemon's status bar could no longer be seen. I imagine this has something to do with "pbDisplayPause()", but I'm unsure how to fix it? Every other bit of the menu worked fine, it was just the opponent's Pokemon's status bar.

DannyPhantump · May 24, 2020

I don't seeany issues, idk why that's happening for you. That attachment looks exactly like mine.

1) Are you using Elite Battle System? This code doesn't work with EBS

2) Which version of Essentials are you using? I'm using 17.2

PokechuGamer · May 24, 2020

Okay! So I found that this script does work with EBS if you change one small thing. My issue was the fact that the opponent's health bar was not reappearing. This was due to the script @scene.pbHideOpponent. Simply changing that to @scene.pbHideOpponent(0) will only tell the game to hide the sprite of the trainer, and not the opponent's health. I am using EBS while doing this so it works fine. Hope this helps anyone with my problem!

Why would you be using this workaround in EBS anyway when EBS already comes with a feature like this baked-in by default?

PokechuGamer · May 24, 2020

I didn't even know that it was included in it. I guess I should've searched harder ahaha. My bad, but thank you for letting me know it's in there!

A question for v18...since scripts are changed in v18 I get this error. Does this need minimum edit or major ones? Sorry not good at scripting, and just curious. The battle will start but will crash when the player throws out their pokemon. I put it on Battle_Action_Switch. But I also had a hunch I should try putting it in Battle_StartAndEnd...

I'm actually working on a Script that not only allows you to show Dialogue on sending the last Pokemon, it actually allows you to display Dialogue in various scenarios. It can even run chunks of code mid battle. I'd suggest you wait, I'll be releasing it soon.

Here's an example I made using that script. It's a recreation of the last battle in the Indigo League Anime Episode "Showdown in Pewter City"

Looks awesome! Is this script planned for both v17 and v18, or just v18?

Golisopod User · Oct 20, 2020

Just v18

This looks amazing! What's the name of it so I can be on the lookout for it
