[Error] Checking the type of the entire party

[Librali]

Hi there!

I'm developing a game in which I'd like to be able to detect the type of each party member. I've been searching for a solution but each one has caused the game to crash.

This is what I've tried so far:

Conditional Branch: Script: $pbHasType?(:FIRE)
Conditional Branch: Script: $player.has_pokemon_of_type??(:FIRE)
Conditional Branch: Script: $player.party[1].hasType?(:FIRE)

Does anyone know the correct syntax for checking these parameters?

The last one you said is correct.
$player.party[0].hasType?(:FIRE)
Will check the first pokemon in the party and see if it has fire as one of its types.
The likely reason for the crash, is the game needs to know how many pokemon there are in the party.
if it tries to check a pokemon that doesnt exist (looks at the 3rd pokemon in a 2 pokemon party), it wont be able to do it and will crash.
I am sure there is a loop you can do to make it easier. but I do it

Conditional branch - $player.able_pokemon_count == 1
- Conditional branch - $player.party[0].hasType?(:FIRE)
Else
Conditional branch - $player.able_pokemon_count == 2
- Conditional branch - $player.party[0].hasType?(:FIRE)
- Conditional branch - $player.party[1].hasType?(:FIRE)

So on.
so it goes. do you have 1 pokemon, yes then check the first slot. if not do you have 2 pokemon, yes check both slots, if not do you have 3 pokemon... all the way through. doesnt take too long.
Sorry if Ive over explained.
I saved it as a common event then have the event just call the common. to save the event itself being huge lol
