Changing a Pokémon's species

[Radical Raptr]

new question, guys, is there a way to make a pokemon, that while during the day,the pokemon is solrock, at night the pokemon is lunatone; however, if it is holding a (sunstone/new item?) it is always solrock, if it is holding a (moonstone/new item?) it is always a lunatone. On the day of the month when it is a newmoon, (this change supersedes the held item) the pokemon changes to darkrai (maybe a variable for once every 30 days from a starting day? of possibly actually putting in newmoon dates), and on the day of the month when it is a fullmoon, (this change supersedes the held item) the pokemon changes to cresselia (maybe a variable for once every 30 days from a starting day? of possibly actually putting in fullmoon dates). The pokemon caught is holding an item (soul stone) that "is said to express a pokemon's true form" which makes any pokemon holding it change to its real form (which would supersede all changes).

Let me get this straight... You want, a Pokémon in your team... To have another form... Depending on the time of day? Or are you on about a wild Pokémon?

 

[Radical Raptr]

technically both, when you find the pokemon in the wild it is holding an item that shows a pokemon's original form, (basically the standard form of all pokemon) but when you own the pokemon in your party and it is not holding the item, it changes
Theoretically the pokemon does not exist unless the item is being held, as it would change to another form instead

You'll want to add a script in the multipleforms, section... Depending whether the Pokémon is holding an item... Time of day... Month... Etc.

Creating a different "form" graphic for each of these in graphics folder.

And you're done.

Copy the way Castform and Deoxys works, you will get the general idea... If this is not what you want, then I don't understand.

thanks for the help, I'm already looking at them and have a good idea where to start, but the thing that throws me, but I still want to do is the time of month one, I don't know how to do that, because I can make a check for day or night, but what would I do for the time of month? does it even recognize the days of the month? if so I could make a variable for each day there is a newmooon/fullmoon, if not then I'm not exactly sure what to do

 

[Nickalooose]

I think you will have to create a new variable that contains days of the month, you could probably make a new script section called Months, and go from there... I'm not too sure whether Essentials has months coded in, since it uses the laptop/pc's date and time...

pbGetTimeNow.mon = month (1=January, 2=February, etc.)

pbGetTimeNow.day = day of the month (e.g. 19 for the day this thread was created).

moonphase(pbGetTimeNow) = moon's phase (each phase can last several days):

# 0 - New Moon
# 1 - Waxing Crescent
# 2 - First Quarter
# 3 - Waxing Gibbous
# 4 - Full Moon
# 5 - Waning Gibbous
# 6 - Last Quarter
# 7 - Waning Crescent

Have a look at the script section PokemonTime at some point.

well im embarrassed, that is exactly what i needed! thank you! also, is it possible to change a pokemon's species when changing it's form? or something like that? you can change about everything else, but is changing it's species or name possible? (like the name that is shown)
