Allowing and disallowing wild encounters with a switch

[Telemetius]

This must be easy but I'm having a couple problems with my encounter modifier that's supposed to allow/disallow wild encounters when a switch is ON, it basically isn't working at all.

Events.onWildPokemonCreate+=proc {|sender,e|
pokemon=e[0]
if $game_switches[100]
pbSet(variable,1)
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=nil
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleME=nil
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBack=nil
return true
end
}

I believe you can just edit pbCanEncounter?(encounter) and add your conditional statement around "return false if...". Seems much less work to me, and much more organised.

As for answering your question, just alias the "pbCanEncounter?" function and redefine it like so:

alias switch_pbCanEncounter? pbCanEncounter?

def pbCanEncounter?(encounter)
  return false if $game_switches[100]
  
  return switch_pbCanEncounter?(encounter)
end

But, why would you want to do that when there's a much more simple way?

You could just use the built in event function "Change Encounter"

Spoiler:

It's literally that simple, and you don't even need to waste a switch.

It was meant to start a parallel common event whatever the map I was in but you're right, it's way easier with the built in option.
