Check if a pokemon species is owned

[mane]

Hello, I think my question is simple.
how do a script to check if already captured a pokemon, I need it in a script not in an event.
As I need it in several parts, because it'll contain another script.

 

[Luka S.J.]

if $Trainer.owned[PBSpecies::Your_Pokemon]

Thanks for answer, It appears that there is a syntax error in the part of the if

class Poke_check
  def initialize(nombrepoke)
    @nombrepoke=nombrepoke
  end
  def check
    if $Trainer.owned[PBSpecies::@nombrepoke]
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("text"))
    else
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("another text"))
    end
  end
end

    else
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("another text"))
    end
  end
end

You don't need to create a class, but you can make a simple function (def). The error is due to the fact that you have to use the name of a Pokemon in species format, not in string format.

def pokeCheck(species)
  if $Trainer.owned[PBSpecies::species]
      return true
    else
      return false
  end
end

To use this, do as follow:

 

[Rot8er_ConeX]

def pokeCheck(species)
  if species.is_a?(String) || species.is_a?(Symbol)
    species=getConst(PBSpecies,species)
  end
  if $Trainer.owned[species]
      return true
    else
      return false
  end
end

"Species" is not a constant in the PBSpecies class.

I get this:

 

[The Master]

def pokeCheck(species)
  if species.is_a?(String) || species.is_a?(Symbol)
    species=getConst(PBSpecies,species)
  end
  if $Trainer.owned[species]
      return true
    else
      return false
  end
end

"Species" is not a constant in the PBSpecies class.

Oops. My fault. Thank you for your correction.

You really don't need to use anything other than what Luka told you:

if $Trainer.owned[PBSpecies::Your_Pokemon]

Some examples of usage:

if $Trainer.owned[PBSpecies::PIKACHU]
if $Trainer.owned[PBSpecies::MEW]
if $Trainer.owned[PBSpecies::DARKRAI]

Note the two colons.

Yes, but I get the same error, I don't know if I called it right or not.

I don't know if you're calling it right or not either. The trick is to tell us what you're trying to do, and show us what you're actually doing.

As I put at the beginning I try to make a system to check if certain conditions are met and if you have some pokemon in your team can appear an object or pokemon.

You need to brush up on your knowledge of how to use Symbols then.

This is the proper way to use them:

if $Trainer.owned[PBSpecies::DARKRAI]

This isn't:

if $Trainer.owned[PBSpecies::@nombrepoke]

Or if this is proving too difficult, you can just use the species number (i.e. 25) instead of the species symbol (i.e. :PIKACHU).

Spoiler:

In case I wasn't clear enough:

if $Trainer.owned[25]

 

[mane]

Yes! you're right, thanks it works now but if don't have the pokemon the condition remains true.

check if already captured a pokemon

This is what you asked for. $Trainer.owned does exactly that. It checks if you captured a Pokemon (at least once), and keeps the record of that just like you'd see in the Pokedex. It doesn't keep track of whether or not you are still in possession of the Pokemon. It keeps track of whether or not you have once captured (i.e. been in the possession) of the Pokemon. If you're debugging to fill your boxes, you'll have all the Pokemon as "owned".

Hello, so I just posted a similar question with the complete coding of what I've put, I'm not sure what I've done wrong (I've used the $trainer.owned code but can't seem to make it work)
