[Scripting Question] City Cat's Short Questions Thread

[Citycat17]

Just wondering if anyone knows how to make a Whirlpool or Rock Climb event. Maybe a Lava surfing obstacle too?

Thanks.

Just use Google and you will find them.

Lava Surf (Old Script);
Lava Surf (New Script);
Rock Climb.

 

[Citycat17]

Thanks everyone, I'll look into those. But what about Whirlpool? Or is it just really similar?

 

[juliorain]

it's like a cut animation, but one that makes it surfable! Look into how cut is defined, copy and adapt. You may need to rip the whirlpool sprites from HGSS or GSC and redraw them by animation, but shouldn't be that complicated!

 

[Citycat17]

Ok cool thank you. I'll look into to be honest I kinda made it before, but I couldn't remember how I did it and I wanted to see if anyone had another way to do it. But it makes sense. It's sort of like a tree event in the water. Just disappears after Whirlpool is used and depopulates after reentering the map.

Scripting for hoard encounters?

Does any kind of script exist for hoard battles? Or is there a way to make a script like this?

 

[WolfPP]

Also, if you don't have a autotile/tileset to Whirlpool, maybe this can help you:

Day/Night encounters for surfing/fishing

Like the title suggests, is it possible to create a new encounter type for day/night to change the likelihood of finding Pokémon in the water?

 

[juliorain]

yes. check my tutorial on how to define new encoutners here: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=417351

in your case, luckilty, is a bit simpler, but following part two of the tutorial:

1) fill out your module PBEncounters
2) then add the method around the other, similar ones (preferably isJustRegularGrass?)

  def isTimedWater?
    return false if @density==nil
    return (@enctypes[EncounterTypes::Water] ||
            @enctypes[EncounterTypes::WaterMorning] ||
            @enctypes[EncounterTypes::WaterDay] ||
            @enctypes[EncounterTypes::WaterNight]) ? true : false
  end

then in def isEncounterPossibleHere? and directly below if self.isCave return false

paste

    elsif self.isTimedWater?
      time = pbGetTimeNow
      enctype = EncounterTypes::Water
      enctype = EncounterTypes::WaterNight if self.hasEncounter?(EncounterTypes::WaterNight) && PBDayNight.isNight?(time)
      enctype = EncounterTypes::WaterDay if self.hasEncounter?(EncounterTypes::WaterDay) && PBDayNight.isDay?(time)
      enctype = EncounterTypes::WaterMorning if self.hasEncounter?(EncounterTypes::WaterMorning) && PBDayNight.isMorning?(time)

Awesome, much appreciated. I'm assuming this works for the fishing rods too.

Moves.txt with all moves from gen1-7

Does anyone know where I can find a moves.txt updated with all moves from gen 1-7?

If it doesn't include z moves that's fine, but would be cool if it did. Also I'm wondering if there's anything I would have to change internally to make the moves work properly. I'm just using 17.2 essentials at its base with the moves it comes with.

Download Pokemon Green Remix and you will find what you are looking for.

 

[Citycat17]

Awesome, thanks.

Add search function to debug menu.

Is there a way to possibly add a search function to debug mode in essentials to quickly find the Pokémon/item you are looking for in order to not have to press page up/down a number of times?

 

[komaoto]

Could've placed it in the suggestions thread.

On topic: It would be great if there was a way to search for things within the editor, but it's not worth the time. There's a bunch of things that takes priority over it and it's not like you will lose a bunch of time looking for your item/pokemon.

While i cant personally say how to do this ill atleast inform you i'd require rewriting the way battles work; as its a 1 v 5 would have to add a whole new way to battle, and thats only the battle code. ^^

so if someone did have a way to do it; it may be complicated to add ^^

closest thing (while not the same) is wild double battles

 

[Citycat17]

Oh yeah I guess I could've put this in that thread instead. Yeah I guess you're right.

Z move implementation

Can anyone explain how to implement Z moves. I found a file called zmoves.txt, but how do I get essentials to read from there?

 

[WolfPP]

You need to use more Google.
