Creating New Abilities

[nieveso]

I'd like to create a new ability for my game (Well... more like a few) but I have no idea how.
Did some looking around online for info, I found pretty much nothing.

Could someone please tell me how to do this?

What I'm trying to do at the moment is make three abilities.

One that has 100% chance to burn upon physical contact.

Another that Ups defense every turn and lowers speed every turn. (Kinda like anti speed boost I guess)

And another ability kinda like Mega Launcher that can up the power of certain moves by 50%.

Greatly appreciate your help on the matter. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I have very little scripting knowledge too, so I'm still working on the second ability (try modifying Speed Boost) but I got the other two working.

if isConst?(target.ability,PBAbilities,:ABILITYNAMEHERE) &&
        user.pbCanBurn?(false)
        user.pbBurn(target)
        pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s {2} burned {3}!",target.pbThis,
           PBAbilities.getName(target.ability),user.pbThis(true)))
      end

Just a simple modification of Flame Body

if isConst?(attacker.ability,PBAbilities,:ABILITYNAMEHERE)
          if @id == 1 or @id == 2 or @id == 3 or @id == 40 or @id == 508 #boosted move IDs
              basedmg=(basedmg*1.5).floor
          end
       end

You could also look at Iron Fist and make a flag that way, which ever way you prefer.

Wow, thanks man. But where exactly would I put that code?
Half of the problem was me not knowing where the actual ability data was stored :P

EDIT: NEVERMIND! :O I found it! Thank god for ctrl shift F. I forgot my buddy ctrl shift F existed.

Whenever I put these in my game it completely skips my pokemons turn! Please help :S

Did you put them in the right sections? Put the first one under Flame Body and the second one under Iron Fist

 

[nieveso]

I tried that and my turn works fine now but the ability doesn't work.
(Just talking about the first one so far)

 

[bbwong91900]

Did you make sure you changed ABILTYNAMEHERE to the internal name of the ability? Make sure that the internal name matches with the ability.txt and pokemon.txt int the PBS folder

I'm sure. I already checked.
