It's funny seeing the word "eval" next to that cute Teddiursa X^)

Anyway, are you calling the script with a Call Script command or a Conditional Branch? The Call Script command will cut it off, so try placing it in the script section on the fourth page of the Conditional Branch.

I get this now

Exception: SyntaxError

(eval):1: syntax error

Try placing the partner registration in a Conditional Branch, too.

 

[PokemonOI]

Heres the script I've been using

pbRegisterPartner(PBTrainers::RIVAL_BR
ENDAN,"BRENDAN",0)

but the error keeps coming up.

 

[Kevvviiinnn]

Heres the script I've been using

pbRegisterPartner(PBTrainers::RIVAL_BR
ENDAN,"BRENDAN",0)

but the error keeps coming up.

Did you try placing that in a Conditional Branch? It looks like it's just cutting off.

 

[PoKéMaKeR1]

Heres the script I've been using

pbRegisterPartner(PBTrainers::RIVAL_BR
ENDAN,"BRENDAN",0)

but the error keeps coming up.

Just turn it into this
pbRegisterPartner(
PBTrainers::RIVAL_BRENDAN,"BRENDAN",0)

Then it'll be over i think

did you try poccil's little extendtext.exe?

 

[PokemonOI]

did you try poccil's little extendtext.exe?

no I dont know what that is what is that?

 

[Kevvviiinnn]

When you copy and paste it into the Conditional Branch, are you sure you're pasting all of it?

Just turn it into this
pbRegisterPartner(
PBTrainers::RIVAL_BRENDAN,"BRENDAN",0)

Then it'll be over i think

This should work, too.

 

[PokemonOI]

Thanks Dude that was a big help but now my partner trainer back wont appear?

 

[Kevvviiinnn]

Just upload a 512x128 picture consisting of the four parts you would like to be animated into your Picture folder. Name it trbackXXX, where XXX = the number of said partner. Make sure to include zeros if it's a one/two-digit number :^)

 

[Darksun]

How do I change the colour of the text in battle?

Thanks. ^^

 

[fireyboy345]

well, make your maps. go to the debug/editor menu and go to visual editor. use the gui to put your maps together. F5 will tell you what buttons do what.

i posted that a page ago. please search the thread before asking.


anyways, i've been dinking around with some custom pokeballs and whatnot and im trying to figure out how it works and what can be used. i've been goin off of what's already in the script to make what i have so far. for those of you that can't find this, it's under PokeBattle_Battle script. here's the part to look at for customization.

Spoiler:

case ball
when PBItems::GREATBALL
rareness=(rareness*3/2).floor
when PBItems::SAFARIBALL
rareness=(rareness*3/2).floor
when PBItems::ULTRABALL
rareness*=2
when PBItems::NETBALL
rareness*=3 if battler.pbHasType?(PBTypes::BUG) || battler.pbHasType?(PBTypes::WATER)
when PBItems::DIVEBALL
rareness=(rareness*7/2).floor if @environment==PBEnvironment::Underwater
when PBItems::TIMERBALL
if @turncount>30
rareness*=4
else
rareness=rareness*(@turncount+10)/10
end
when PBItems::REPEATBALL
rareness*=3 if self.pbPlayer.owned[battler.species]
when PBItems::NESTBALL
if battler.level<30
rareness*=(40-battler.level)/10
end
end
x=(((a*3-b*2)*rareness)/(a*3)).floor
if battler.status==PBStatuses::SLEEP||
battler.status==PBStatuses::FROZEN
x*=2
elsif battler.status!=0
x=(x*3/2).floor
end
shakes=0
if x>255 || ball==PBItems::MASTERBALL
shakes=4
else
y = 0x000FFFF0 / (Math.sqrt(Math.sqrt( 0x00FF0000/x ) ) )
shakes+=1 if pbRandom(65536)<y
shakes+=1 if pbRandom(65536)<y
shakes+=1 if pbRandom(65536)<y
shakes+=1 if pbRandom(65536)<y
end
@scene.pbThrow(ball,shakes,battler.index)
case shakes
when 0
pbDisplay(_INTL("Oh no! The Pokemon broke free!"))
when 1
pbDisplay(_INTL("Aww... it appeared to be caught!"))
when 2
pbDisplay(_INTL("Aargh! Almost had it!"))
when 3
pbDisplay(_INTL("Shoot! It was so close, too!"))
when 4
pbDisplay(_INTL("Gotcha! {1} was caught!",pokemon.name))
@scene.pbThrowSuccess
@decision=4
if isConst?(ball,PBItems,:LUXURYBALL)
pokemon.happiness=200
end

now, just looking at it i was a tad bit confused about how rareness works. ultra ball is rareness*=2 which i gather means x2, which is what it should be. but the dive ball's is rareness=(rareness*7/2).floor. what exactly does that mean? i image it would mean 3.5, but it's an uneven percentage or is that what it should be? an uneven percentage?

another thing is the battler variable. i see that the net ball has battler.pbHasType?. what if i wanted to dictate a certain species? i tried battler.species and i got this error.

Spoiler:

Exception: ArgumentError
Message: wrong number of arguments(1 for 0)
PokeBattle_Battle:135:in `species'
PokeBattle_Battle:135:in `pbThrowPokeBall'
PokeBattle_Battle:1670:in `pbRegisterItem'

PokeBattle_Battle:2374:in `pbCommandPhase'
PokeBattle_Battle:753:in `pbStartBattleCore'
PokeBattle_Battle:752:in `logonerr'

unless i was supposed to do battler.PBSpecies?. also, what if i wanted to call the battler's height or weight? would that be battler.weight & battler.height? also, what if instead of the of pokemon the trainer is battling, i wanted to get a variable or something from the trainer's pokemon? how would that be called?

and the last part of my huge post is the post-capture stuff. as you can see, the luxury ball automatically gives the pokemon 200 happiness. simple to change or add another ball with the same stat. but what if i wanted to change it's attack, speed, IVs, EVs and so on. im not too sure about the IVs and EVs but i do believe the stats would go as such:
pokemon.hp
pokemon.attack
pokemon.defense
pokemon.speed
pokemon.spattack
pokemon.spdefense

correct me if im wrong because i'd really like to know, besides all the other people asking about custom pokeballs. anyways, i know that's alot to read and answer, but i would love to hear some answers. this just might quell some n00bish questions also. >_>

thanks in advance.

 

[Lorem Ipsum]

partyghoul2000:
The IVs and EVs question:

To define a Pokémon's IVs or EVs, you would use the following type of statement.

pokemon[0].iv[0] for IVs, and pokemon[0].ev[0] for EVs.

Substitute the first 0 in brackets to reflect the Pokémon number in your party (note, 0 is the first one, 5 is the last one). Then, substitute the second 0 to reflect the IV or EV you want to change (0=HP, 1=Attack, 2=Defence, 3=Sp. Atk, 4=Sp. Def, 5=Speed).

So, if I wanted to change the defence IV of the third Pokémon in my party to 31, then I would simply use this statement.

pokemon[2].iv[2]=31

.

______________________________________

Now, for my own question: what are the function codes and their meanings for move effects in moves.txt?

 

[Yuoaman]

Okay, I'm quite new at the inner workings of Poccils Starter Kit, so I have several questions:

1: Where is the Edit Trainers option in the Editor.

2: How do I add troops to maps.

the way you specified is for a pokemon in your party, i was talking about post-capture stat changing, but this does give me insight as to what it might be. for ex. pokemon.iv[2]=31, i know it's not much difference, but im trying to adapt it for the pokeball scripts.

i also forgot to mention last night about day, night and location captures. how would these variables be called for a capture rate boost for a ball? i was gonna ask in my last post, but i completely forgot about it. >.<

 

[InMooseWeTrust]

How do I add in custom regional Pokedex orders? According to the notes.html, I can put in a field in pokemon.txt for that and it will work.

I can't seem to get it to work...

 

[Darksun]

I'm sorry to ask again, but I really need som answers, and I haven't got any.

How do I change the screen size of the game?

and

How do I change the colour on the text that's in the message box in battle?

I'd really appreciate if someone could answer.
Thanks. ^^

.floor basically means it will round down to the nearest whole number, and it's the opposite with .ceiling, I believe. So if you use a Great Ball on a, say, Bulbasaur, the formula would be:

rareness=(45*3/2).floor, which would yield a rareness of 67 (67.5 rounded down).
