Adding new move effect

[Pokemon 3000]

I've tried to adding a new move effect, that's power is depending on the beauty-value of the attacker. But it doesn't work, so I guess I must first create an variable, that is pointing to the beauty-value. Here's the code that I have tried:

class PokeBattle_Move_133 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbBaseDamage(basedmg,attacker,opponent)
    basedmg = 10
    basedmg = 200 if attacker.beauty >= 200
    return basedmg
  end
end

It's very basic yet, becauce I'm testing the function first and afterwards I espand the function...

Could anyone tell me what I must change, to work it properly? Thanks.

Beauty isn't a property needed in battles, so it's not a property battlers can have. You'll need to refer to the Pokémon itself for that. That's easy, though:

class PokeBattle_Move_133 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbBaseDamage(basedmg,attacker,opponent)
    basedmg = 10
    basedmg = 200 if attacker[COLOR=Red].pokemon[/COLOR].beauty >= 200
    return basedmg
  end
end

As a brief explanation, a "battler" is an entity created just for battles, which copy a number of important properties from the Pokémon it's based on. A battler can be changed in whatever way you like (e.g. via Mimic or Conversion or Power Split or Transform) without affecting the actual Pokémon, which is very useful. Not all properties are copied, though, because things like ribbons and markings aren't important in battle and they'd just be a waste of space.

I never would have guesses, that's would be so easy, haha. Thank you!
