Catching Tutorial

    Working on recreating a catching tutorial, by manually creating most of the battle scene. Mildly rudimentary, but it mostly seems to work. Only problem is, the ball thrown to catch the pokemon does not show up, and I can't figure out why. I recreated the pokeballThrow method in this class to suit my needs, and that's where it should be appearing.

    Have a look and let me know if you see what's wrong.

    Code: 
    class LearnToScene
  BLANK      = 0
  MESSAGEBOX = 1
  COMMANDBOX = 2
  FIGHTBOX   = 3
  
  def update
    pbUpdateSpriteHash(@sprites)
  end
  
  def pbMiddleScene
    loop do
      Graphics.update
      Input.update
        #if @sceneover==true
        if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
          break
        end
     end
  end
  
  def pbEndScene ##This ends everything
    $game_map.autoplay
    pbFadeOutAndHide(@sprites) { update }
    pbDisposeSpriteHash(@sprites)
    @viewport.dispose
    $scene = Scene_Map.new 
  end

    This post is old, but as a basis this is a great script!
    Is there any possiblity to adapt this to v17 of Essentials? I'm searching for such a tutorial script for my game.
    The script is working without an error, but unfortunately the menu is not shown, the pokemon position is wrong and ball animation is still missing.

    I am not much experienced in ruby scripting, but I will try my best. Is there anyone who is fit in scripting and might help?
