Check the type

[Speedblitza]

Hey guys, I've a little question:

How can I check the type of the first pokemon in the team and make conditions?

I want to make a guy who checks the first pokemon and is giving an item.

For example: If the first pokemon is a psychic type he will give you a twistedspoon.
If the first pokemon is an electric type he will give you a magnet.

Any idea how to set up such an event?

Thanks a lot guys :-)

if $Trainer.party[0].hasType?(:PSYCHIC)
   $PokemonBag.pbStoreItem(:TWISTEDSPOON)
   Kernel.pbMessage("Here's a spoon")
elsif $Trainer.party[0].hasType?(:ELECTRIC)
   $PokemonBag.pbStoreItem(:MAGNET)
   Kernel.pbMessage("Here's a magnet")
#more conditions
end

Thanks a lot for your answer, mej71.
Can I also check only the first type of the pokemon?
When I have an Zapdos i will get a Magnet and also a Sharpbreak.

If you're using "elsif" instead of "if" for each check (like mej71's example shows) you should only be getting the first one it comes to in the list of checks. (Only the first check is "if", the rest are "else if"'s which means "if the last if statement didn't come back true, check this one.)

Yeah I see it is a good idea.
But it would be better if the game is checking the first type of a pokemon.
Is there no way doing so?

use type1==getConst(PBTypes,:PSYCHIC) instead of hasType?(:PSYCHIC)

When I put this in the Conditional Branch I get an error:

$Trainer.party[0].type1==getConst(PBTypes,ELECTRIC)

$Trainer.party[0].type1==getConst(PBTypes,ELECTRIC)

:ELECTRIC
the colon is important, it denotes that it's a symbol, not a constant variable
