[Scripting Question] Change Forme on Move Use

[thepsynergist]

Heya, got a question I'm hoping can be answered.

I have a custom move that combines Spit Up and Swallow, called Purge. I have a fakemon that needs to change form when using Stockpile, and revert back to it's original forme when using Purge. Any clue how I can do this?

Try to look for the code I made for Gulp Missile: Cramorant will change its form after use Surf or Dive.

Add these lines to the code of Stockpile:

if isConst?(attacker.species,PBSpecies,:FAKEMON) && attacker.form==0
   attacker.form=1
end

And add this to Purge:

if isConst?(attacker.species,PBSpecies,:FAKEMON) && attacker.form==1
   attacker.form=0
end

And in pbResetForm replace this:

(self.species,PBSpecies,:XERNEAS)

with this :

 isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:XERNEAS) ||
isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:FAKEMON)

Sorry for the late reply. I tried putting in what you said, but it doesn't change the battler graphic. Does the placement of those form checks matter within the move effect?

Yes.

I do not have access to my PC right now, but check out the Gulp Missile Code made by WolfPP and figure out the placement accordingly. It should be after the part which calculates damage done.

Also check if you have entered the appropriate data in pokemonforms.txt and have the sprite in the battlers folder with the correct filename. Eg 891_1, 891b_1, 891s_1, 891sb_1.

I was able to get it working! Thank you so much for your help!

     if isConst?(attacker.species,PBSpecies,:BUNJI) && attacker.form==0
     case rand(4)
      when 0; Audio.se_play("Audio/SE/bunji_cooking.ogg", 90)
      when 1; Audio.se_play("Audio/SE/bunji_spotHit.ogg", 90)
      when 2; Audio.se_play("Audio/SE/bunji_rich.ogg", 90)
      when 3; Audio.se_play("Audio/SE/bunji_niceJuicy.ogg", 90)
     end 
     attacker.form=1
     attacker.pbUpdate(false)
     @battle.scene.pbChangePokemon(attacker,attacker.pokemon)
     PBDebug.log("[Form changed] #{attacker.pbThis} changed to form #{attacker.form}")
    end

I had this for Stockpile, and I swapped the other's for it's main move, Purge. Works like a charm.
