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

[ArthurMaker]

Hello!

I have a question.
I would like to know how to do it for a selected menu of Pokémon Pokemons walk behind the Hero / Heroine, as in the remake.

Example:
You Take the option on when I select a Pokémon on my team in the Menu of pokemons. Next select the option and leave the menu. The Pokémon commeça selected me to follow. When I do not want to follow me no more Pokémon, I pokemons from the menu again and choose a Pokémon who is walking behind me. Instead of appearing to follow option now appears not to follow. Select this option, leave the menu disappears and the Pokémon back to the Hero / Heroine.

I ask for you to help me solve this question.
Thanks already!
Goodbye!

I might be able to help, but your english isn't too good. ^^; Could you please restate that? I think I know what you're saying but I'm not sure...

Ok, now I don't actually have RMXp yet and neither do I have the illegal one. I was going to get the legal one but you said it does not work with the legal one. Has that been changed? Can I buy the real one and still use the kit or do I have to get the illegal one? Sorry for me being a noob.

I have the legal version of rmxp and I am using the starter kit.

----------------------

I keep getting a message saying that a trainer type does not exist and when I run the editor to add it the error comes up and the editor stops.
how can I get around this.
If you want the error just ask.

 

[Atomic Reactor]

Try adding the trainer manually on the notepad file?

Of course it works with the legal one. Who said that it wouldn't work? They either made a mistake, or you read it wrong... It's designed for the legal version; using the illegal version is what might cause problems.

It is in the notepad file but, for some reason the game does not think so.

LOL

He/She said that he/she wants to know how to make the pokémon to follow you, like on HeartGold and Soulsilver. I only know about the dependency script but it only works with events, not with pokémon(like Brawly on the starter kit)... i think.

But if you can help him/her, i'd be glad, because i want little help on that too.

 

[videogamemaster]

use the built in editor in RMXP. Set teh sound to frame 1 or something.

thank you! i was really stuck on that for some reason and this helps a lot!

Okay, this might work:

Script: pbAddDependency2(@event_id,"POKEMON",2)
pbRegisterPartner(PBTrainers::POKEMONNAME,
"POKEMON")

Well, actually I'm using pokestarter, so this may not work if you're not. What I would do is grab the bitmap for the pokemon, but use it as a trainer. But, you would not be able to choose a pokemon. (I guess this is why D/P has only a few qualifying).

You would have to add it to the trainers.txt. thingy, but it would say it was a trainer. So, no, I don't really know if this would work.

Sorry.

And someone, please answer the question I posted earlier. I really need help!!

You don't need the register partner, if the event is a Pokemon, that makes every battle a double battle.

So I am going to ask this once again (expecting the same response) but they is a code that you can put in a call script function to mid event turn a self switch on for another event, which is very useful, can some one tell me what that code is?

Please help, I know it can be done, I have used it many times during Golden Heights and Iridium, but in all the hard drive crashes I lost all of my scripts and game files So its difficult to find everything I had before.

 

[Fraot]

duh

According to my experience it's not possible and also unnecessary activating self swtiches by foreign(just to give them a name) events, by simply calling it "SELF Switch" you can notice. Self Switches are used for events to do something to themselves if you want to activate things, activate Switches that's what you should do, they were made for that cause.

Hello together! ^^
I have a question and it would be really nice if you can help me.

I have started to make a game with poccils amazing starter kit. ( The lastet version: February 3, 2009.)
But the scripts are a bit difficult for me. :(
I've tried to make a Celebi Event, but for this, I need a WildBattle script.
So I looked into the advanced topics, that is in the starter kit.
I've found this under PokemonField :
pbWildBattle(species,level,variable=nil,canescape=true)

I thought thats easy. I've made an event with this script.
The script was: pbWildBattle(CELEBI,30,variable=nil,canescape=true)
But the only thing what I got was a ERROR...

Could anyone help me?
( Sorry if my english is bad, I'm from germany...)

That's what you need, yes. Your problem probably comes from the limited width of the "insert script" text box where you put that script in. What that would do is cut the script into two halves, and if it's cut in the wrong place then it won't work.

When you've got the window open to type in that script, look in your main game folder and run "extendtext.exe". That should help things to work.

My question.

How do multiple regions work? Specifically, I want to have multiple Regional Dexes, and I'm asking about how a pokémon can be given a list of Regional Dex numbers. I tried putting in lines like the following, and came up with the error message below.

RegionalNumbers=60,81,100,0

This means the pokémon is regional number 60 in Region A, number 81 in Region B, number 1000 in Region C and is not in Region D. That's what the Notes say (see below).

Here's the error:

---------------------------
Pokemon Essentials
---------------------------
Exception: RuntimeError
Message: Regional Pokédex number cannot be 0 (section {2}, PBS/pokemon.txt)

OK   
---------------------------

I had a look at the part of the script that generated that error message (from "Compiler"):

         elsif key=="RegionalNumbers"
          raise _INTL("Regional Pokédex number cannot be 0 (section {2}, PBS/pokemon.txt)",currentmap) if value==0
          regionals[valueindex]=[] if !regionals[valueindex]
          regionals[valueindex][currentmap]=value

It seems there's no specific problem here (i.e. I didn't do things wrong); it just doesn't want regional numbers of zero. This is exactly not what the Notes say:

RegionalNumbers - The order of this Pokémon in one or more regional Pokedexes; for example, Treecko is number 1 in the Hoenn Pokedex. This is a comma-separated list of numbers. If at least one of the numbers is 0, then a species doesn't exist in at least one regional Pokedex. This setting is optional. To manipulate regional and national Pokedex numbers, use the functions pbAllRegionalSpecies, pbGetNationalNumber, and pbGetRegionalNumber in the script section PokemonUtilities. See the comments within those functions for more information.

So are regional numbers implemented or not? And if not, how do I put them in? I assume the changes would be done to that bit of script I quoted

Thank you Maruno! It worked!! :D
Oh and there was a mistake in my script...
It should be: pbWildBattle(PBSpecies::CELEBI,30,veriable=nil,canescape=true)

 

[Ty 101]

?

I wanted to know how to delete a pidgey from my party.
I was given $Trainer.party.delete_if {|pkmn|pkmn.species==PBSpecies:PIDGEY}
I get an error message when I run it.
I could not find any worthwhile info in the error but, if you want to see it just ask.

I tried extendtext.

 

[Minorthreat0987]

Alright, new question...

Anyone have any idea what this error is about?

It has to do with the erase event command...

[Pokemon Pyrite]

I need to know how to make it so when you get an item you can go to the pokemon storage from the menu(Like when you get the pokedex the pokedex shows up in the menu and you can use).I cant find it anywhere.

Yeah, just delete or comment out the second line. I've done that, and it works fine. Also, you might want to change the result of the pbGetPokedexRegion method to a variable, instead of the current region, so you have more control over which regional dex is displayed.

There should be two colons in between PBSpecies and PIDGEY, like so: PBSpecies::PIDGEY

You appear to be trying to erase a non-existent event... I have no idea of how you managed to do this :P Mind showing me the entire event?

 

[Minorthreat0987]

Oh...XD lol Well then XD No I know how I did it I made a flub on my codeing...I put a blank event page that had just the erase event comand, and made it run if a certain switch was activated! As soon as I deleted those instances (there were like at least 10 XD) everything worked fine! lol Whoopsy!
