[Scripting Question] Change Wild Pokemon Encounter Battle Music for specific pokemon

[Letrax]

So I want the battle music to change when I encounter
a specific pokemon for example "Ho Oh".
Don't know if thats already implemented in vanilla essentials.

I gave a similar answer, while ago.

In PokemonField script section, about at line 1000, in def pbWildBattle, when the script say "$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=nil", you can make a little variation by replacing it with (RAYQUAZA is a little example):

if(species==PBSpecies::HOOH) then
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=("Audio/BGM/YourTheme")
else
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=nil
end

 

[Letrax]

Thanks for the answer!
But sadly it doesn't work.
The default wild battle theme is still being played.

Can you post the complete script you did?

Restore the previous code, by deleting my lines of code.
Then, in def pbGetWildBattleBGM(species) after the first block of condition, add this

  if(species==PBSpecies::HOOH)
    return pbStringToAudioFile("VsHOOH.ogg")
  end

Whenever you want to add other BGMs, you have to add an "elsif" condition with your species. For example:

  if(species==PBSpecies::HOOH)
    return pbStringToAudioFile("VsHOOH.ogg")
  elsif(species==PBSpecies::LUGIA)
    return pbStringToAudioFile("VsLUGIA.ogg")
  elsif(species==PBSpecies::CELEBI)
    return pbStringToAudioFile("VsCELEBI.ogg")
  end

Why are you making this so unnecessary complicate? Just use the Event command "Change Battle BGM" right before the battle starts.

 

[Letrax]

Thank you Folle64!
That works perfectly.
And yeah if I would talk to an event and had a specific encounter i could use the change battle bgm event command or "$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM="FILENAME".
But Im talking about a wild encounter in grass.
Theres not only for example ho oh. Ho-Oh's battle theme on a wild Rattata? Nope.

Why are you making this so unnecessary complicate? Just use the Event command "Change Battle BGM" right before the battle starts.

Because, if there are more battles with the same Pokémon (e.g a second chance to catch it), it's more efficent. I don't know anything about Letrax's project and I'm trying to give him the best solution (of course from my point of view).

Well, that might be true, but if we are speaking about legendaries like ho-oh, there will be rarely a situation where you need more than one or two battles. My suggestion is just for the sake of updating Essentials, because later you don't have to re-insert the code again.

But of course, if we talking about regular encounters, then your solution is way better.

Hi guys !

How can I do it with current version (20.1) please ? I'm so lost with script who I just understand a little.

 

[theRiolvile]

Try using this
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=
"ORAS 109 Battle! (Wild Pokemon)" this is my example for the Latios encounter.
