    Hello, this is my first time posting here, so if I make any mistakes, let me know!

    As the title suggests, I was wondering how to make it so that Shiny Pokemon can have a special cap on EVs. For instance, a normal pokemon can only have 510 points, while a shiny pokemon can have 1,512. I looked around the forums already, but couldn't find anything that fits my needs. Or maybe I just missed it, I don't know.

    I've only been using Essentials for a month and I'm still learning everything. Should I make a special script section for Shinies, or do I have to edit an already existing script? Thanks in advance!
     
    This one is quite easy. In Pokemon (under [[ Pokemon ]]) look for this code:
    Code: 
      # Max total EVs
  EV_LIMIT      = 510

    Change it to this:
    Code: 
      EV_LIMIT      = @shiny ? 1512 : 510

    The code var = a ? b : c is a conditional assignment that sets var to b if a is true, otherwise sets var to c instead.
     
    and for maximum level how do I put this condition?
    that way doesn't work
    MAXIMUM_LEVEL = @shiny ? 150: 100
     
    Not quite. My initial code had a bug. What I would suggest is in the Pokemon script as follows:
    Code: 
      # @return [Boolean] whether this Pokémon is shiny (differently colored)
  def shiny?
    if @shiny.nil?
      a = @personalID ^ @owner.id
      b = a & 0xFFFF
      c = (a >> 16) & 0xFFFF
      d = b ^ c
      @shiny = d < Settings::SHINY_POKEMON_CHANCE
      # new code
      Settings::MAXIMUM_LEVEL = @shiny ? 150 : 100
      Pokemon::EV_LIMIT = @shiny ? 1512 : 510
    end
    return @shiny
  end
