Adding in custom battle messages

how did I know the values needed in FD /v ?

Yep they can be changed with it. But that tool is known for the great amount of bugs it creates.
 
Same question as Lance32497's:
How do I know the values that combined with FD do something?

Being more specific, my message will be (it's a message for the -ate abilities):
"[Pokémon]'s [Ability] changed [Move] into [New move type]!"
For example, "Glalie's Refrigerate changed Tackle into Ice-type!".

Following the information here, I'll use FD 0F for Pokémon, FD 01 for move. But what about the ability and the new move type?

If it's possible, good. I had another way, but I was not into the idea of having a different message per different ability, like "[Pokémon]'s Refrigerate changed [Move] into Ice-type!" for every Pokémon with Refrigerate. =S

First, for something so specific as an -ate ability, I think you're better off using setword https://www.pokecommunity.com/posts/7101031/

As for the buffers, a complete list probably exist somewhere (on people's computers), but I don't think it has ever been posted. You're better off just following the jumptable and reading it. last_copied_ability should be 0x17, and I think attacker's ability is 0x18. Not sure which one loads type, if there even is one. I mean. If there isn't already an automatic buffer for type, its only the 3 -ate abilities and normalize. You don't need one for every Pokemon.

Btw, not sure if you already know this, but according to Youtube, there isn't even a message for -ate abilities in Gen VI. It changes type without informing the player.

azurile13, thanks, always fast!
Yeah, I can't find a list with all commands nowhere.
You said "You're better off just following the jumptable and reading it." - Dude, what jumptable? And where did you get 0x17 and 0x18 from?
Also, I did more -ate abilities. There are 7 or 8, something like that. I'll probably end up with 7/8 different messages. Much easier than researching a lot, for such a little thing to implement.
As for the non-messaging thing, I played and tested the -ate abilities after implementing them, but it feels weird to choose Tackle or Scratch and getting a super or non effective hit. I don't care the games don't have a message. I feel like it's something worthy messaging about. We get messages for Shed Skin, Intimidate, Immunity, Static, Effect Spore, etc. Why not this?

Whoops. I thought that was in the OP of this thread. Try looking at the jumptable at 0x080D78B0.
case x2 = fcode_buffer2
case x3 = fcode_buffer3
case x17 = b_last_copied_ability
etc

But I'm guessing that at the very least kleenexfeu, KDS, or MrDollSteak each have a list. & yeah it is weird, I was just making sure you knew. Maybe for more surprise? Idk.

In Emerald it would be:
last_used_ability = 0xFD, 0x17
attacker_ability = 0xFD, 0x18
target_ability = 0xFD, 0x19
move = 0xFD, 0x00 or 0xFD, 0x01 depending on which battle buffer you're choosing. The battle buffer should contain: 0xFD, 0x02, move id halfwod, 0xFF
type = 0xFD, 0x00 or 0xFD, 0x01 depending on which battle buffer you're choosing. The battle buffer should contain: 0xFD, 0x03, type id byte, 0xFF

Also, take a look at the decoding functions.

Thanks guys, I will take a look at that jumptable. =D
