Runtime Error when Adding a Foreign Pokémon....

Heyy guys,

I was wondering if anybody has yet to figure out how to fix this runtime error I'm getting when I try to add a foreign pokemon to my party using pokemon essentials. Here is the error I'm getting...

---------------------------
Pokemon Essentials
---------------------------

Can anybody fix this problem?? Please, let me know!! Thanks!! Bye!! P.S. The first person who fixes this problem will be in my game as the 8th Gym Leader.... Anyways, thanks again.... bye!!
 
You haven't used all the fields for the script. Take a look at the example in the notes:

Code: 
[COLOR=#0000ff][COLOR=Black]pbAddForeignPokemon(PBSpecies::SHUCKLE,20,_I("MARK"),_I("SHUCKIE"))[/COLOR]
[/COLOR]
You didn't add the nickname for the Pikachu you are trying to add. It should be something like this:

Code: 
pbAddForeignPokemon(PBSpecies::PIKACHU,100,_I("Prof. Oak"),_I("PIKACHU"))
 
Can Prof. Oak count? I thought there was a 7 character limit. Try Prof Oak instead.

Code: 
@>Conditional Branch: Script: pbAddForeignPokemon(PBSpecies::PIKACHU,100,_I("Prof Oak"),_I("PIKACHU"))
  @>
 : Else
  @>
 : Branch End
@>

Remember to make it a conditional branch?
 
Sill the same...

Still getting the same error, even in a conditional branch.... I think it was coded wrong when the code was written... If I was better at programming, which i am currently learning at ITT Tech. for Computer Networking, I would try and rewrite the script... But, I don't know much, so, I can't... But... Has anybody gotten it to work at all..?? So you guys know, the reason I say it was coded wrong, in my opinion, is because when I looked at the code in PokemonUtilities, it seems to only have an "if" statement, and there is no "then" or "else" statements... For example...

def pbAddForeignPokemon(species,level,ownerName,nickname)
if $Trainer.party.length==6
return false
end

There should be an "else" statement right after the "if" statement, but it just continues on with the code below...

speciesname=PBSpecies.getName(species)
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} received a Pokémon from {2}.\1",$Trainer.name,ownerName))
pokemon=PokeBattle_Pokemon.new(species,level,$Trainer)
# Set ID and OT name to a foreign one
pokemon.id=$Trainer.getForeignID
pokemon.ot=ownerName
# Set nickname
if nickname
pokemon.name=nickname[0,10]
end
# Recalculate stats
pokemon.calcStats
pbStorePokemon(pokemon)
return true
end

Let me know if you think there should be an "else" statement also.... Another thing is that to me it does not look like "ownerName" is an actual variable, b/c i looked through it, and i can't even find it initalized anywhere... And, variables are supposed to be initalized so that the memory for it doesn't get used by something else that is already initalized....

I have got it to work but you have to disable the part of the code that generates the foreign trainer ID. This means the Pokemon will have your ID. I have tried a few ways to get the foreign ID to work but it isn't cooperating. If you would like to know what I have I will tell you.

The part at the beginning is fine as it is. If you have a full party, it immediately returns "false" without going on to the rest of the script. If it doesn't return "false" immediately, then you have space in your party and the rest of the script is worked through.

Regarding the "ownerName" thing, see what's been highlighted in red in the quote...
 
Is there a way to create a light on a lampost without having a shadow cast.
 
I mentioned this problem with the Trainer Types Editor earlier:

Hey, guys. Saw this error posted earlier, and the dude said he fixed it(I think) but I need to find out how. Here's the error:



I checked the scripts for the editor, and everything seems to be in order. What's the problem?

Can someone throw me a bone here?:\

I've also got another problem here! Dang, this is bad... Anyway, I'm trying to create a dependent event, and I set the event to be a parallel process, but I keep getting this:

How can I disable the header (says the name of cities, for example, in the top left corner) for a map? (I.E. Not have it show when I go inside a house)

Ok, i found an interesting glitch in Pokemon Essentials.

1.) you select a Pokemon move and your Pokemon goes second.

2.) The defending Pokemon suicides with a move like Curse(if ghost type) or self destruct.

3.) Your pokemon survives and you are asked to switch out. You say yes.

4.) When you switch out, The Pokemon that you switched uses the move the previous move that you selected.

I.E. Your Charmander is about to use Ember, the defending Pokemon dies before you use it. You switch to Totodile. Totodile uses Ember.

Is there anyway to fix this error. It's kind of a big one.

This is a large Pokemon Essentials error that needs fixing, can someone please help me. I'm sure that this problem exists within everyone's current Pokemon Fangame, not just mine.
 
I can't register a Partner Trainer.

Am I doing this right? To register a partner trainer I used this script command:

Code: 
pbRegisterPartner(PBTrainers::LEADER1,"SANDY",0)
The trainer type is LEADER1 (not the displayed type, I changed that in the
trainer names file), her name is SANDY, and her ID is 0.

It's not working. It just errors and says that
Code: 
(PBTrainers::LEADER1,"SANDY",0)
shouldn't have a "(" at the beginning of it.
 
Foreign Pokémon Fix with Foreign Trainer ID as well!!

Heyy everybody, I know I don't know much on programming. But here is the code fix for PokemonUtilities... Change the line 260 in PokemonUtilities from
Code: 
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} recieved a pokemon from {2}.\1",$Trainer.name,
Code: 
[I][B]ownername))[/B][/I]
<-- (Notice the un-camelCased variable?) to
Code: 
  [B][I]Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} received a Pokémon from {2}.\1",$Trainer.name,ownerName))[/I][/B]
(or just change ownername to ownerName, for experienced programmers they should know of something called camelCase for variables. Basically you lowercase the first word, and then capitalize the first letter of every other word after that in the variable name. This line, origionally, however, was not camelCased, and yet every other instance of the word ownername actually looked like this throughout the code ==> ==> ownerName <== <==)

Then, after that, to get the ForeignID to work correctly, change the part in like 263 from
Code: 
[B]pokemon.id=$Trainer.getForeignID[/B]
to
Code: 
[B][I]pokemon.ot=$Trainer.getForeignID[/I][/B]
It worked fully when I tested it... The pokémon even had a different ID number like it is supposed to!!! Yay!! Hope anybody who is/was having a problem with this please with this... I give myself some kudos for this.... lol... Well, have funn... peace...

Did you try copying the example from the cave?? Try that and see how it is set up... Then, tell me if you've got any errors and I'll look @ the code and try to debug it... :)

I figured out my second problem, and now I have one more question. What(If there is one) is the script used to check the position of any Pokemon in the trainer's party? i.e. 1st pokemon, 2nd, etc.
 
ive been working on this game now for a while and dont want to lose it over a stupid mistake....[using rpg maker xp + pokemon starter kit]

i simply changed the weather effect of a map and it gave me this error message...
