[Scripting Question] Ability that increases EV yield

[SebastiaanZ]

Hi,

Love the forums for its wide variety of additions for the games!
I was wondering how I would need to script an ability that increases the EV gain for a Pokemon that has that ability. So essentially an ability-version of Macho Brace.
Could anyone help me with that?
I use V17.2 btw.

Thanks!

Could anyone help me? I haven't figured it out myself yet.

Did you try just copyin how MACHOBRACE works? o.o

On 'PokeBattle_Battle' script, inside def pbGainExpOne(index,defeated,partic,expshare,haveexpall,showmessages=true), add your ability, like:

  def pbGainExpOne(index,defeated,partic,expshare,haveexpall,showmessages=true)
    thispoke=@party1[index]
    # Original species, not current species
    level=defeated.level
    baseexp=defeated.pokemon.baseExp
    evyield=defeated.pokemon.evYield
    # Gain effort value points, using RS effort values
    totalev=0
    for k in 0...6
      totalev+=thispoke.ev[k]
    end
    for k in 0...6
      evgain=evyield[k]
      evgain*=2 if isConst?(thispoke.item,PBItems,:MACHOBRACE) ||
                   isConst?(thispoke.itemInitial,PBItems,:MACHOBRACE) ||
                   isConst?(thispoke.ability,PBAbilities,:SEBASTIANNZ)
      case k
      when PBStats::HP
        evgain+=4 if isConst?(thispoke.item,PBItems,:POWERWEIGHT) ||

Read the error buddy: you wrote wrong. It is "PBAbilities" instead "PBAbilties". You forgot an "i" there. :p
