[Scripting Question] Check species AND level

[Sven-Buchholz]

Hey everybody,

how can I check if the player has a Hitmonchan with Level 40 or more in his Team?
And can I evolve a Pokemon with an event?

Essentials has a function pbHasSpecies? which you can use to check if the player has a specific pokemon species. We can copy and modify that for your needs. (Put the following in a script section above main.)

def pbHasSpeciesAtLevel?(species, level)
  if species.is_a?(String) || species.is_a?(Symbol)
    species=getID(PBSpecies,species)
  end
  for pokemon in $Trainer.party
    next if pokemon.isEgg?
    return true if pokemon.species==species && pokemon.level>=level
  end
  return false
end

Then, you would simply be able to call pbHasSpeciesAtLevel?(:HITMONCHAN,40) from your condition.

_{Note: I have not tested the above code.}

Thanks a lot! It works perfectly!!
Do you even know how I can start a evolution of this pokemon, when this condition came true?

You can change Pokemon evolution methods in the pokemon.txt. No need to use scripts to do it.

Hey, I'm new to Pokemon Essentials as well as pokecommunity. Could you tell me where exactly I paste this code and would I need to give you credit?
