Costume System Help

[PiaCRT]

Okay, hello everyone. I have evented a costume system and everything works fine overworld-wise. I have created the appropriate backsprites and trainer sprites (trback095; trainer095, respectively), but when I check my trainer card or go into battle, they won't show up and stay as the original character's backsprite and trainer sprite.

Do I need to implement this myself? If so, how?

Thank you,
Pia Carrot.

Bumping. Can anyone answer this? It's not super important, but visually it's nice...

I'm about as far as you can get from a good scripter, but I would assume you need to have a variable modifier to suit each "costume" then go find the code that displays the trainer image in the relevant places and put some if statements pertaining to said variable.

You might be able to figure it out by looking at the code, if not then just wait for a few days and see if anyone else replies. I'll do it myself if it comes to that but it won't be pretty.

I would have said that implementing the overworlds was harder than just changing the sprites. I assume you've got a variable somewhere that decides what outfit the player is currently wearing, and it's used to decide which charsets to show.

The answer is self-evident: find where the trainer sprites are shown, and change the code.

 

[PiaCRT]

Actually, I've just been using pbChangePlayer(1) or whatever that bit of code is. I haven't used any kind of variable.

 

[Maruno]

The trainer sprites used depend on the trainer type, while the charsets (which you've changed) depend on whatever you've files you've named in metadata.txt. Each different version of the player needs its own trainer type. I suspect you've defined PlayerA, PlayerB, etc. with different charsets, but given them all the same trainer type (PkMnTRAINER_Male or PkMnTRAINER_Female).

 

[PiaCRT]

Correct.

# See the documentation at notes.html to learn how to edit this file.
0,PkMnTRAINER_Male,PkMn TRAINER,100,,,,Male
1,PkMnTRAINER_Female,PkMn TRAINER,100,,,,Female

and then

92,PkMnTRAINER_MINT,PkMn TRAINER,100,,,,Female
93,PkMnTRAINER_KRIS,PkMn TRAINER,100,,,,Female
94,PkMnTRAINER_PIKA,PkMn TRAINER,100,,,,Female
95,PkMnTRAINER_MAY,PkMn TRAINER,100,,,,Female

Now, is this possibly due to them not being marked by a gender?
Please note there is no male hero. The 1st trainer is simply a null.

Turns out it's a problem with Essentials. Find the def pbChangePlayer, and include the red line:

def pbChangePlayer(id)
  return false if id<0||id>=8
  meta=pbGetMetadata(0,MetadataPlayerA+id)
  return false if !meta
  [COLOR=Red]$game_player.trainertype=meta[0][/COLOR]
  $game_player.character_name=meta[1]
  $game_player.character_hue=0
  $PokemonGlobal.playerID=id
end

Which script is the def located in? I'm having trouble locating it >.>

I appreciate your help, Maruno.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. Thanks for all the help!

EDIT 2: I'm guessing this is because of the amount of players I have:

The error you got happens for me too.

trainertype is defined as a parameter for $Trainer, but not $game_player.

Try $Trainer.trainertype = meta[0] instead.

 

[PiaCRT]

Works like a charm, thanks IceGod64!

Oh, actually, it doesn't. I found testing just now that results in a crash on creating a new game. With that said, I've got one more fix. I've tested this one in both making a new file and changing a player in-game, and it works completely this time.

$Trainer.trainertype = meta[0] if $Trainer

 

[PiaCRT]

Odd, it worked just fine for me (only tested it on PlayerE >.>) But I'll use that code instead since it's probably more stable xD
