Choosing an item from only 1 pocket of the bag

[ttneal]

I want to use the script Kernel.pbChooseItem(1), but limit the player to only being able to pick an item from 1 bag pocket. This would be the same as what happens when planting a berry, but with a different pocket of the bag. (I tried looking in the berry scripts but I couldn't figure it out)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Not sure what you are looking for. When you are prompted to plant a berry, you are not limited at all, you can switch to another bag if you wish to do so :o
But if you are simply looking for the bag, you could use:

scene=PokemonBag_Scene.new
screen=PokemonBagScreen.new(scene,$PokemonBag)
ret=screen.pbChooseItemScreen

:o You're right, I thought it limited you to one pocket, but I suppose not! My bad. However, if you choose an item that's not a berry, it returns the message: "That's not a berry." How would I set that up?

Basically, I just want to limit the player to selecting only one type of item from the bag.

Thank you for your reply! I checked the scripts but can't figure it out :(

Try this in your script, anywhere above main and set up an event with "pbItemTest":

Spoiler:

def pbItemTest
  pbFadeOutIn(99999){
scene=PokemonBag_Scene.new
screen=PokemonBagScreen.new(scene,$PokemonBag)
berry=screen.pbChooseItemTestScreen
}
end

  def pbChooseItemTestScreen
    [email protected]
    [B][COLOR=DarkOrchid]@bag.lastpocket=6[/COLOR][/B]
    @scene.pbStartScene(@bag)
    item=0
    loop do
      [email protected]
      break if item==0
      itemname=PBItems.getName(item)
      if !pbIsItemTest?(item)
        @scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("No!",itemname))
        next
      else
        break
      end
    end
    @scene.pbEndScene
    @bag.lastpocket=oldlastpocket
    return item
  end
  
  def pbIsItemTest?(item)
  [COLOR=Lime][B]return $ItemData[item] && ($ItemData[item][ITEMTYPE]==2)[/B][/COLOR]
end

Change the bag type (bold and purple) to your liking according to this:

Spoiler:

• 1 - Items
• 2 - Medicine
• 3 - Poké Balls
• 4 - TMs & HMs
• 5 - Berries
• 6 - Mail
• 7 - Battle Items
• 8 - Key Items

And the item (green and bold) itself according to this:

Spoiler:

• 0 - The item is none of the items below.
• 1 - The item is a Mail item.
• 2 - The item is a Mail item, and the images of the holder and two other party Pokémon appear on the Mail.
• 3 - The item is a Snag Ball (i.e. it can capture enemy trainers' Shadow Pokémon).
• 4 - The item is a Poké Ball item.
• 5 - The item is a berry that can be planted.
• 6 - The item is a Key Item.

You may want to test around a bit by looking through https://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Defining_an_item or "PItem_Items" in your script.

Hope this helps a little :)

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!!! You're a godsend! My script is running beautifully now. I also used parts of this tutorial from -FL- that I found, as well as from this old forum post I found while poking around the forums.

(Figured I'd put those sources here as well, in case anyone else ever needs them.)

Thank you again!!!
