[Eventing Question] Checking for Abilities

[FrostyRaziel]

Is there a way to check if a pokemon in the party has a specific ability through an event, the same way you can check for moves with a conditional branch?

If not, how can I define a method to do so? I guess finding where the method for checking moves is, and using it as a sheet to make one checking abilities would work, but I don't know where that is located.

I did something like this recently to have an event check for a certain held item. Use CTRL+SHIFT +F to search for "def pbCheckMove" and try imitating that script.

 

[FrostyRaziel]

def hasAbility?(value=0)
if value==0
return self.ability>0
else
if value.is_a?(String) || value.is_a?(Symbol)
value=getID(PBAbilities,value)
end
return self.ability==value
end
return false
end

So I found this code, but I don't know how to make it check for specific ability in a pokemon that's in the party using the conditional branches. Can someone more experienced in coding help?

Try this as the script for your conditional branch:

for i in 0..$Trainer.party.length
	return $Trainer.party[i].hasAbility?(:INTIMIDATE)
return false
end

replacing Intimidate with whatever ability you want to check for.
