[Archive] Pokemon Essentials: Starter Kit for RPG Maker XP

[thepsynergist]

I still need help with my battle animations problem. The annoying part is that if you select "flash target" the pokemon retains the color of the flash for the duration of the battle. Is there a way to fix this?

When you want to create a warp from an event, just use the transfer player button in the events page, then click when you want the transfer point to go.

Yes I know that but I have to press spacebar just to go through there!

In the lower left corner of the event page select the option "player touch".

Thank you Garnet.
My question was a bit stupid, I think...

 

[KieronGames]

One more question how do you make an event happen only once?

at the end of an event, add a self switch. the next page condsition should be self switch (a,b,c,d) = On
on that second page, add what you want the event to say after it's completed, or leave it blank if the event is to no longer exist.

 

[KieronGames]

ok hopefully my last questions how do you make a giving pokemon event?
and how do you make a trainer battle?

 

[lx_theo]

My question still stands, how do u give the player character a set name without using the name entry screen?

Go to PokemonUtilities and search for pbTrainer name. Change:

trname=pbEnterText("Your name?",0,7)

to:

trname=pbEnterText("Your name?",0,7,"X")

Where X is the default name for the trainer.

Then in the Intro event remove:

pbTrainerName

That will not allow you to enter a name and will use the default name.

Having a little trouble with pokemon.txt...

I tried to add a new Pokémon after Arceus, but the game says it doesn't exist. I put it into pokemon.txt and made some icons for it, but it doesn't work. Can anyone please tell me where I'm going wrong with this?

In your game are you trying to make it a Wild encounter like what it is like when you battle a legendary or just like wild in the grass? Or getting given it from somebody else? Do you get an error when you try one of them?

Try this : Make a new event called whatever you want. Give it a graphic. Then insert a new script command (Bottom right on the 3rd page of commands). Type in there

pbWildBattle(PBSpecies::RAGUL,X) replace the X with what level you want it to be. Then insert a Self switch A. Make a new event page and see where it says Conditions? Tick the Self Swith box and set it to A. This will make the event only happen once. Then go up to the event, activate it and get back to us with what happens. As in an error or what.

 

[Trikeboy]

Then in the Intro event remove:

pbTrainerName

That will not allow you to enter a name and will use the default name.

Ignore that part. Keep it in. It takes you too the entry screen but will have the default name already entered.

 

[Torai]

Let me rephrase

I try to start a battle against my custom Pokémon, but the game cannot start the battle, because RAGUL apparently doesn't exist in the game at all. Do I need to do anything besides edit pokemon.txt and add graphics?

To be exact, when I even try to start a battle or somehow obtain this Pokémon, this is the error message.

I guess no one can help me with my animations problem.

It is possible that the "TYPE1" should be "Type1". Also, it is possible that you get the error because the parts that make up the Pokemon are not in the correct order. Try entering the Pokemon using the following template from the original .txt file.

Yeah trikeboy your probably right about that. I answered the question asuming that all that stuff was just correct :D

 

[FinalOne]

Hey, I've been lurking around these fourms for awhile getting help, trying to learn how to script a little. But i have a few questions that i havn't found while i've been looking around.

1.Where in the script can you change the encounter rate for shiny pokemon? I havn't been able to find it anywhere.

2.Where in the script can i change the postion of the pokemon in battle? I havn't been able to find this either.

That is all i need help with for right now. Answers would be much apperciated. :)

 

[lx_theo]

Go to PokemonUtilities and search for pbTrainer name. Change:

trname=pbEnterText("Your name?",0,7)

to:

trname=pbEnterText("Your name?",0,7,"X")

Where X is the default name for the trainer.

Then in the Intro event remove:

pbTrainerName

That will not allow you to enter a name and will use the default name.

What if I wanted to give a choice? Like how the main games have New Name, Generic Name, Generic Name, Generic Name.

 

[FinalOne]

Edit: i just tested That and when i kept the pbtrainername there, it showed X,Y,Z as the default name. you would need to make a choice branch, which i'm learning how to do. xD

Edit2:Ok now i think i've almost got it, but whenever i call the pbTrainerName event i get a error, what did i do wrong?

Edit3: I Think i'm starting to get a little closer, even without help, but now i'm getting i'm getting a different error with this script.

Edit4: just had to put the "end"'s somewhere else, but now, when i call pbTrainerName, it just gives you the name, /PN.

def pbTrainerName
 
def pbTrainerNameCommands
  commands=[
        _INTL("New name"),
        _INTL("X")
     ]
     command=pbShowCommands(
      _INTL("What do you want to do?"),commands)
    case command
     when 0
      trname=pbEnterText("Your name?",0,7)
     when 1 
      trname=pbEnterText("Your name?",0,7,"x")

I'm pretty much lost now, as i've said before, i'm not a master at scripting or anything, but i'm pretty good at understanding it, just not writing it.
Also, i don'y think i'm going to try to atempt to make this work, because i have no idea what the problem is right now, xD. But at least i tried.


Btw, i have some questions above your post that i need answered. :/

 

[?Alistair?]

Ok, so here is what the area of script that i changed (un-commented) looks like.

[B]1407[/B] if outdoor
[B]1408[/B]  tone= $HourlyTones[Time.now.hour]
[B]1409[/B]  @sprites["battlebg"].tone=tone
[B]1410[/B]  @sprites["enemybase"].tone=tone
[B]1411[/B]  @sprites["playerbase"].tone=tone
[B]1412[/B] end

And here is the error message
