[Scripting Question] An item that can be used to change a Pokemon's nickname?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

I've never liked the fact that you have to go out of your way to visit someone in order to rename your Pokemon. I'd really like to add a key item that could be used to change a Pokemon's nickname, but I'm still somewhat new to Pokemon Essentials and I'm not sure how to code such an item.

I'm on V17.2, by the way.

I think the easiest way would be to look at the code/event for the name rater and find the line used to choose and rename pkm. And then just make an item out of it

I'll give it a try sometime. Thanks!

I've given it a try, but I'm quite inexperienced with coding. Could you give me a hand by writing some code for the item I'm trying to make?

 

[Ego13]

Can you show me what you got so far?

 

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Absolutely nothing, to be honest. I should've established before that I have essentially no experience coding. I hope it's not too much to ask for some code pro bono. If it is, though, it's perfectly fine.

First define an Item like this

605,POKEID,Poke ID,Poke IDs,8,0,"Rename your Pokemon",5,0,6,

then in the script section PItem_ItemEffects at the end of the section

#===============================================================================
# UseOnPokemon handlers
#===============================================================================

add this

#Poke ID
ItemHandlers::UseOnPokemon.add(:POKEID,proc{|item,pokemon,scene|
  loop do
      cmds = [_INTL("Give Nickname"),_INTL("Remove Nickname"),_INTL("Cancel")]
      cmd=Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("What do you want to do?"),cmds,-1)
   
      if cmd==0 # Give Nickname
        pbNickname(pokemon)
      return
      
      elsif cmd==1 # Remove Nickname
        pokemon.name=PBSpecies.getName(pokemon.species)
       return 
      elsif cmd==2 || cmd==-1 #Cancel
        return
      end
    end
})

I just added the option to simply remove the nickname. Just in case

It worked perfectly! Thank you so much for the help. Seriously, I won't forget this.

I improved this item and put it out for everyone to use. You can find it here.
