Pokémon selection system similar to Stadium/Battle Tower, where you can choose a certain number and order of pokémon.

Tested on Essentials v13, v18.1, v19.1, v20.1 and v21.1. If this script isn't working on latest Essentials version, please inform on this thread.

Thanks FL. its going to be useful for me.

 

[ppooookkkkkkk]

Thank you for this (finally a great script for making the frontier)

 

[FL]

I'm glad that people will use this, despite the big instructions.

 

[UpliftKnight]

I tried to use this but when i try this script it directly goes in battle without selection.
Can you write a example script? with battle.

Follow the instructions. Notice n the first post:

# To this script works, put it above main and use in script command # 'PokemonSelection.choose(min, max, canCancel, acceptFainted)'

Wow, FL . nice script... However, It's always nice to see one of my features become less of a unique feature though lol.

It's great to see you're still giving to the community too.

Little help with this...
Tried to follow instructions here but I'm getting a
'PokemonSelection' Line60:SyntaxError

I'm trying to set it up so that you can enter a 'Fighting Type' only contest, and I have put in all the species allowed to compete and placed it above Main in the scripts sections,
ADVICE PLEASE???

Pokécommunity is breaking my scripts. How to solve this:

How to limit selection by pokémon type

# This class uses a type array that only allows the pokémon as valid if it
# has one of these types when bannedTypes=false or the reverse 
# when bannedTypes=true
class TypeRestriction
  def initialize(types, bannedTypes=true)
    @types=types
    @bannedTypes = bannedTypes
  end

  def isValid?(pokemon)
    ret=false
    for singleType in @types
      if pokemon.hasType?(singleType)
        ret = true
        break
      end
    end
    ret = !ret if @bannedTypes
    return ret
  end
end

Copy this code after my script last line. After line 'ret.ruleset.setNumberRange(min,max)' add 'ret.addPokemonRule(TypeRestriction.new([:FIGHTING],false))'.

If you, instead of adding 'TypeRestriction.new([:FIGHTING],false))', you add 'TypeRestriction.new([:FIRE,:ICE],false))', only Fire and Ice pokémon would be allowed. If the call is 'TypeRestriction.new([:DRAGON,:FLYING],true))', Flying and Dragon pokémon will be banned.

Ah that's got rid of the error nicely! Thanks.
What script exactly would I need to use to open the battle now?

Tried the one suggested near the start of the thread but that's giving me a large error now in game

PokemonSelection.restore

Use extendtext.exe or, probably, the small script command window will mess the text.

Great script! I have a couple questions / issues. I am using essentials 17.2 and I have installed all scripts as instructed and everything seems to be working except one thing. Even with it set to not be able cancel the selection I am still able to do so in game. Any idea what the issue might be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When "canCancel" is false, the player is prompt to select the pokémon again when pressing cancel. This is happening? If so, the system was worked as should be.

Pass 'canCancel' parameter as true. The method return 'false' if cancelled, use this on a conditional to skip the battle.
