[Scripting Question] [17.2] Detecting if the player has a species in the pc, and getting its position/manipulating and editing it.

[ArchyTheArc]

So, i plan to re-order my national dex, to get it out the way, but to not completely break it for old saves, i want to have something check if the species id is say 722-800 in the party or box, and change that species to 762-840, i know this is easy to do in the party iirc, but not sure of a way for the pc, i know you can get the pokemons species from the box and position, but not more than that.

so is there a way to do that? like im assuming "for box in" etc. then "for position in" etc. and if box and positions species.id >=722 & <= 800 then id + 40?

unsure here, if i can get pointers for party as i know its a bit funky, but its like $trainer.party[number].species or smth.

might have just answered it myself but felt i'd be best to ask!

I somehow stumbled across the solution much faster than i thought, so if anyone else is curious;
to find a specific species in the party and change it to a specific species;

for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
 if $Trainer.party[i]!=nil &&  $Trainer.party[i].species==133
   $Trainer.party[i].species=134
 end
end

Then to change all species (can use the above check for species but using > and <)

for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
 if $Trainer.party[i]!=nil
   $Trainer.party[i].species+=1
 end
end

Then the same thing for storage

for box in 0...29 #or max storage count
 for position in 0...29
   if $PokemonStorage[position][box]!=nil
     $PokemonStorage[position][box].species+=1
   end
 end
end

should be able to use the species check too for box just using the same things used to change it.
(tested changing a single pokemon, my entire party and an entire box)
