[Scripting Question] Ability that sets up Stealth Rocks

[GajeelRedfox99]

I've been trying to create a new ability that throws stealth rocks onto the field when the pokémon with the ability enters the battlefield. I added it just underneath the BREAK abilities I asked about a couple of weeks ago. No error message pops up, the ability just doesn't trigger. This is what I'm trying to work with:

#Break Ground
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:BREAKGROUND) && onactive
PBDebug.log("#[pbthis]: can BREAK the ground with it's immence strength!]")
for i in 0...4
def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
if attacker.pbOpposingSide.effects[PBEffects:: StealthRock]
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
return -1
end
pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,nil,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
attacker.pbOpposingSide.effects[PBEffects:: StealthRock]=true
if [email protected]?(attacker.index)
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Pointed stones float in the air around the opposing team!"))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Pointed stones float in the air around your team!"))
end
return 0
end
end
end

Can you help me out please? And instead of just posting the proper code, can you guide me through what you've done, whether in the reply or in comments in the code itself. There are spaces inbetween the : and the S of stealth rock, as it puts an emoji there otherwise...
Thanks ~ Gajeel

I understand your efforts, but You need to learn the basics of RGSS language. Your code should to be like this:

    #Break Ground
    if self.hasWorkingAbility(:BREAKGROUND) && @battle.opponent && onactive
      PBDebug.log("#[pbthis]: can BREAK the ground with it's immence strength!]")
      if self.pbOpposingSide.effects[PBEffects::StealthRock]==false
        @battle.pbCommonAnimation("STEALTHROCK",self,nil)
        self.pbOpposingSide.effects[PBEffects::StealthRock]=true
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Pointed stones float in the air around the opposing team!"))
      end
    end

You have to create a copy of animation "MOVE:STEALTHROCK" with the name "COMMON:STEALTHROCK". This code prevent also to activate this ability into wild battles.

Thanks!
I'll make sure to learn more about the RGSS language before attempting to create any more abilities, so I know completely what I'm doing, instead of just having a rough idea about what the code does.
