[Scripting Question] Adding Disable move function to an ability?

[Oolalaa]

(v19.1) I'm trying to add the disable function to the ability Anticipation.
So the move that makes the anticipation "shudder" gets disabled for 5 turns.

Here's the clean script of Anticipation:

Spoiler:

BattleHandlers::AbilityOnSwitchIn.add(:ANTICIPATION,
proc { |ability,battler,battle|
next if !battler.pbOwnedByPlayer?
battlerTypes = battler.pbTypes(true)
type1 = battlerTypes[0]
type2 = battlerTypes[1] || type1
type3 = battlerTypes[2] || type2
found = false
battle.eachOtherSideBattler(battler.index) do |b|
b.eachMove do |m|
next if m.statusMove?
if type1
moveType = m.type
if Settings::MECHANICS_GENERATION >= 6 && m.function == "090" # Hidden Power
moveType = pbHiddenPower(b.pokemon)[0]
end
eff = Effectiveness.calculate(moveType,type1,type2,type3)
next if Effectiveness.ineffective?(eff)
next if !Effectiveness.super_effective?(eff) && m.function != "070" # OHKO
else
next if m.function != "070" # OHKO
end
found = true
break
end
break if found
end
if found
battle.pbShowAbilitySplash(battler)
battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} shuddered with anticipation!",battler.pbThis))
battle.pbHideAbilitySplash(battler)
end
}
)

And here is Disable move function:

Spoiler:

class PokeBattle_Move_0B9 < PokeBattle_Move
def ignoresSubstitute?(user); return true; end

def pbFailsAgainstTarget?(user,target)
if target.effects[PBEffects::Disable]>0 || !target.lastRegularMoveUsed
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
return true
end
return true if pbMoveFailedAromaVeil?(user,target)
canDisable = false
target.eachMove do |m|
next if m.id!=target.lastRegularMoveUsed
next if m.pp==0 && m.total_pp>0
canDisable = true
break
end
if !canDisable
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
return true
end
return false
end

def pbEffectAgainstTarget(user,target)
target.effects[PBEffects::Disable] = 5
target.effects[PBEffects::DisableMove] = target.lastRegularMoveUsed
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s {2} was disabled!",target.pbThis,
GameData::Move.get(target.lastRegularMoveUsed).name))
target.pbItemStatusCureCheck
end
end

I'm not advanced enough on the Essentials script to make this work and I believe the Anticipation script needs to be changes so it actually defines the move that triggers it. Thanks for the help in advance!

Poké Bump!

Didn't really test it, but give this a shot. since in ruby, every thing is truthy except nil and false, we can repurpose the found boolean into a nil/array for falsey truthy. The array stores the battle index of the triggering battler, and their move id, then it's just a matter of setting the values for disabling.

Also, you don't really need to bump a thread when it hasn't been a day yet :)

BattleHandlers::AbilityOnSwitchIn.add(:ANTICIPATION,
  proc { |ability,battler,battle|
    next if !battler.pbOwnedByPlayer?
    battlerTypes = battler.pbTypes(true)
    type1 = battlerTypes[0]
    type2 = battlerTypes[1] || type1
    type3 = battlerTypes[2] || type2
    found = nil
    battle.eachOtherSideBattler(battler.index) do |b|
      b.eachMove do |m|
        next if m.statusMove?
        if type1
          moveType = m.type
          if Settings::MECHANICS_GENERATION >= 6 && m.function == "090"   # Hidden Power
            moveType = pbHiddenPower(b.pokemon)[0]
          end
          eff = Effectiveness.calculate(moveType,type1,type2,type3)
          next if Effectiveness.ineffective?(eff)
          next if !Effectiveness.super_effective?(eff) && m.function != "070"   # OHKO
        else
          next if m.function != "070"   # OHKO
        end
        found = [b.index,m.id]
        break
      end
      break if found
    end
    if found
      battle.pbShowAbilitySplash(battler)
      battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} shuddered with anticipation!",battler.pbThis))
      battle.battlers[found[0]].effects[PBEffects::Disable] = 5
      battle.battlers[found[0]].effects[PBEffects::DisableMove] = found[1]
      battle.pbHideAbilitySplash(battler)
    end
  }
