[Scripting Question] Add Star Animation to poke capture

[Nasuthan]

Trying to add the star animation to successful capture

in: PokeBattle_Animations

def ballCaptureSuccess(ball,delay,ballX,ballY)
ball.setSE(delay,"Battle catch click")
pbStarAniCaptureSuccess(ballX,ballY)
ball.moveTone(delay,4,Tone.new(-64,-64,-64,128))
end


in: PField_Field

def pbStarAniCaptureSuccess(ball_x,ball_y)
$scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(BALL_CAPTURE_ID,ball_x,ball_y,true,1)
end

alternativly I'v tried this:

in: PokeBattle_Animations

def ballCaptureSuccess(ball,delay,ballX,ballY)
ball.setSE(delay,"Battle catch click")
$scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(BALL_CAPTURE_ID,ball_x,ball_y,true,1)
ball.moveTone(delay,4,Tone.new(-64,-64,-64,128))
end

Im getting the same error for both.

undifined method addUserAnimation

not sure how to fix or where or why its wrong any help would be welcome.

Maybe you'd rather work in the class:

class PokeballThrowCaptureAnimation < PokeBattle_Animation

and in the function:

  def createProcesses

By the end, below the lines:

      # Pokémon was caught
      ballCaptureSuccess(ball,delay,ballEndX,ballGroundY)

add this:

      @battler.battle.pbCommonAnimation("CaptureStars", @battler)

assuming your animation is called "Common:CaptureStars" in the Animation Editor.

so its just not working

I Have this

# Pokémon was caught
ballCaptureSuccess(ball,delay,ballEndX,ballGroundY)
@battler.battle.pbCommonAnimation("StarCatch", @battler)

ive also tried:

ballCaptureSuccess(ball,delay,ballEndX,ballGroundY)
@battler.battle.pbCommonAnimation("Star_Catch", @battler)

in the database under the tab animations i have an animation called StarCatch that uses the sprite animation sheet Star_catch

both simply do nothing. any suggestions where im going wrong.

If you use the function "pbCommonAnimation("StarCatch", @battler)", then the animation should be called "Common:StarCatch" in the animation editor, not just "StarCatch".

 

[Nasuthan]

still nothing

ballCaptureSuccess(ball,delay,ballEndX,ballGroundY)
@battler.battle.pbCommonAnimation("Common:StarCatch", @battler)

does this work with PEV18.1

 

[StCooler]

still nothing

ballCaptureSuccess(ball,delay,ballEndX,ballGroundY)
@battler.battle.pbCommonAnimation("Common:StarCatch", @battler)

does this work with PEV18.1

You're going to try every combination but the right XD
If the animation is called "Common:StarCatch", then the line should be:

 @battler.battle.pbCommonAnimation("StarCatch", @battler) # NO "Common:"

 

[Nasuthan]

ok however I'm still getting nothing
have tried:

# Pokémon was caught
ballCaptureSuccess(ball,delay,ballEndX,ballGroundY)
@battler.battle.pbCommonAnimation("Common:StarCatch", @battler) which I now know is wrong

in databas animation is called: Common:StarCatch

in class PokeballThrowCaptureAnimation < PokeBattle_Animation

# Pokémon was caught
ballCaptureSuccess(ball,delay,ballEndX,ballGroundY)
@battler.battle.pbCommonAnimation("StarCatch", @battler)

still nothing

Does the Common animation need to be set up as a battle animation in the battle animation editor, because the way i was doing it was using the xp animation editor in the datbase and was going to do it the same way as the grass animation happens.

In the Animation editor in Pokémon Essentials.
Open the Menu > Debug > Information Editors > Battle Animations Editor.





EDIT: In fact I made a mistake. Remove the line I told you to put, it activates too early.
You should do something in the file PokeBattle_BattleCommon, in the function:

  def pbThrowPokeBall(idxBattler,ball,rareness=nil,showPlayer=false)

below the line:

      pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Gotcha! {1} was caught!",pkmn.name))

paste this:

      pbCommonAnimation("StarCatch", battler)

Worked like a charm, thanks :)

Would you be willing to tell me where you got the star image for your animation? I can't seem to find anything
