Cultist birthsign without Shadow pokemon (Pokemon Birthsigns Edit)

[TritraSerpifeu]

This is a edit for pokemon birthsigns, found here: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/348599

This edit adjusts the script for the cultist birthsign so that no shadow pokemon will be spawned, because that makes the abilitie stronger, the price the pokemon pays in IV will be 3 times as high, making these perfect IV pokemons real expensive

Replace that code block with the script section about the cultist script around line 3038 in your pokemon birthsigns script, you may also adjust the Species that can be summoned to suit your game

This is already it, I hope that this will make the birthsigns script even better for those who do not have shadow pokemon

I'm not sure if this needed an entire thread just for this one specific tweak, but it did make me realize I had an error in my latest update to the Birthsigns script, so that was helpful.

If all you want to do is make the summoned Pokemon non-Shadow, then all you really need to to is delete or comment out the line that says

pokemon.makeShadow

. I dont think a whole re-write is super necessary when that's mainly all you've changed.

Also, if you want to increase the cost of IV's that are drained per summon, you can just do quality*3 or something instead of writing it out like quality+quality+quality however many times. Makes it a little easier to keep track of.

I am just a little rookie, I mean... I did not know where to put else, I am new to scripting, I try to make when i tweak something again to do it under your script
