[Scripting Question] Custom Abilities, Effects, and Moves

Technocrat14 · Jan 16, 2017

I came up with some new stuff, but I'm having difficulty coding it. Can anybody assist? (All of my ideas are public domain.)

Abilities:

- Huge Hail: doubles hail damage to all applicable battlers when the Pokemon is on the field during a hailstorm.
o does not duplicate stack.

- Virulence: doubles poisoned status damage on all opponents when this Pokemon is on the field.
o does not duplicate stack.

- Web Spinner: activates Sticky Web when this Pokemon enters battle.

- Wind Dance: activates Tailwind when this Pokemon enters battle.

- Pollen Cloud: Activates Safeguard when this Pokemon enters battle.

- In Memoriam: The Pokemon's stats increase based on the number of fainted teammates.
o works like Huge Power or Fur Coat, rather than as a stat stage boost.
o 3 stages: 1 teammate fainted, 3 fainted, and 5 fainted
* 1st stage: Def and Sp.Def increase by 12.5% each.
* 2nd stage (replaces 1st stage): Def and Sp. Def increase by 33.3% each.
* 3rd stage (stacks with 2nd stage): Speed increases by 50%.

- Spike Shedder: drops a layer of spikes on the opponent's side of the field when this Pokemon faints.
o Drops 2 layers if the Pokemon is at full HP when KO'd.

- Denial: reverses opponents' stat increases if boosting moves are used when this Pokemon is on the field.

Moves:

- Type Shift: Activates a field effect of the same name.
o Type Shift effect turns all x4 weaknesses into x1/2 resistances for 5 turns.
* Turns x8 weaknesses into neutral hits for 5 five turns.
o Has no effect on x2 weaknesses.

- Fiesta (from Pokemon Sage): sets stackable, HP-healing treats around the Pokemon's team.
o 3 layers maximum.
o 1 layer is consumed per teammate switch-in.
o Each layer restores 25% of the teammate's max health when consumed.
o Treats are not consumed if the teammate's health is full when switching in.
o Activates before damaging entry hazards.
o Can be removed from the player's side by Rapid Spin.
o Can be removed from the field by Defog.

These codes will be assuming that you have Essentials v16.2, and that you have not made any edits to it. I will mention line numbers, but will show the code surrounding the code I wish you to edit. Search to be sure the code is the same before blindly applying my changes to the line numbers I give you.

Technocrat's Ideas (some of Maicerochico's ideas are mixed in if they require similar coding)

Spoiler:

Huge Hail

Spoiler:

Virulence

Spoiler:

Web Spinner, Wind Dance, Pollen Cloud, Helioshield, Lunarshield, Plague

Spoiler:

PokeBattle_Battler, line 1065, is a commented-out line that says the single word "Download", and beneath it is the code that makes the ability Download work. Above that, paste all of this:

Code:

 # Web Spinner
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:WEBSPINNER) && onactive && !self.pbOpposingSide.effects[PBEffects::StickyWeb]
self.pbOpposingSide.effects[PBEffects::StickyWeb]=true
if [email protected]?(self.index)
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("A sticky web has been laid out beneath the opposing team's feet!"))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("A sticky web has been laid out beneath your team's feet!"))
end
end
# Wind Dance
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:WINDDANCE) && onactive && self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::Tailwind]<=0
self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::Tailwind]=4
if [email protected]?(self.index)
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The tailwind blew from behind your team!"))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The tailwind blew from behind the opposing team!"))
end
end
# Pollen Cloud
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:POLLENCLOUD) && onactive && self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::Safeguard]<=0
self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::Safeguard]=5
if [email protected]?(self.index)
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Your team became cloaked in a mystical veil!"))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The opposing team became cloaked in a mystical veil!"))
end
end
# Helioshield
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:HELIOSHIELD) && onactive && self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::LightScreen]<=0
self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::LightScreen]=5
self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::LightScreen]=8 if attacker.hasWorkingItem(:LIGHTCLAY)
if [email protected]?(self.index)
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Helioshield set up Light Screen and raised your team's Special Defense!"))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Helioshield set up Light Screen and raised the opposing team's Special Defense!"))
end
end
# Lunarshield
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:LUNARSHIELD) && onactive && self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::Reflect]<=0
self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::Reflect]=5
self.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::Reflect]=8 if attacker.hasWorkingItem(:LIGHTCLAY)
if [email protected]?(self.index)
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Lunarshield set up Reflect and raised your team's Defense!"))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Lunarshield set up Reflect and raised the opposing team's Defense!"))
end
end
# Plague
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:PLAGUE) && onactive
didsomething=false
for i in [self.pbPartner,self.pbOpposing1,self.pbOpposing2]
next if !i || i.isFainted?
next if !i.pbCanPoison?(self,false)
@battle.pbDisplay("A plague broke out!") if !didsomething
didsomething=true
i.pbPoison(self,_INTL("It poisoned {1}",i.pbThis(true)))
end
-	end
# Orbital Tides
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:ORBITALTIDES) && onactive
@battle.pbDisplay("The tides are rising!")
 	end

In Memoriam, Hive

Spoiler:

This one will take multiple steps.
1.) First, make functions that can recoginize the number of fainted allies the Pokemon has, or how many Bug types are in the Pokemon's allies.
PokeBattle_Battler, line 181, is the start of a function that determines if the game should display the "you already own this Pokemon" icon. Above that, place this:

Code:

 def faintedAllies
[email protected](self.index)
j=0
for i in 0...party.length
if self.pokemonIndex==i
elsif party[i] && !party[i].isEgg? && party[i].hp<=0
j+=1
end
end
return j
end

def hiveMind
[email protected](self.index)
j=0
for i in 0...party.length
if self.pokemonIndex==i
elsif party[i] && !party[i].isEgg? && party[i].hasType?(:BUG)
j+=1
end
end
return j
end

2.) Next, we add the defense boosts, which can be applied simultaneously to both Defense and SpDef, due to the way the attacks are coded.
PokeBattle_Move, line 944, reads "defmult=0x10000". Add this above that:

Code:

 if opponent.hasWorkingAbility(:INMEMORIAM)
if opponent.faintedAllies>=3
defense=(defense*1.3333).round
elsif opponent.faintedAllies>=1
defense=(defense*1.125).round
end
end
if opponent.hasWorkingAbility(:HIVE) && opponent.hiveMind>=2
defense=(defense*1.25).round
end

3.) Now is time for the boost to Speed.
PokeBattle_Battler, line 681 and following. Add the red lines:

Code:

 if self.hasWorkingAbility(:QUICKFEET) && self.status>0
speedmult=(speedmult*1.5).round
end
[color="red"]if self.hasWorkingAbility(:INMEMORIAM) && self.faintedAllies>=5
speedmult=(speedmult*1.5).round
end
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:HIVE) && self.hiveMind>=5
speedmult=(speedmult*1.25).round
end[/color]
if self.hasWorkingAbility(:UNBURDEN) && @effects[PBEffects::Unburden] &&
self.item==0
speedmult=speedmult*2
end

4.) In Memoriam is fully coded, but Hive is not. Now it is time to add the attack boost, which can be applied simultaneously to both Attack and SpAtk, due to the way attacks are coded.
PokeBattle_Move, line 841, reads "atkmult=0x10000". Add this above that:

Code:

 if self.hasWorkingAbility(:HIVE) && self.hiveMind>=5
atkmult=(atkmult*1.25).round
end

5.) And finally, the immunity to critical hits.
PokeBattle_Move, line 528 and following. Add the red bits:

Code:

 def pbIsCritical?(attacker,opponent)
if !attacker.hasMoldBreaker
if opponent.hasWorkingAbility(:BATTLEARMOR) ||
opponent.hasWorkingAbility(:SHELLARMOR)
return false
end
[color="red"]if opponent.hasWorkingAbility(:HIVE) && opponent.hiveMind>=1
return false
end[/color]
end
return false if opponent.pbOwnSide.effects[PBEffects::LuckyChant]>0
return true if pbCritialOverride(attacker,opponent)

Spike Shedder

Spoiler:

Denial

Spoiler:

Once again, this has to be done in multiple stages. Basically, we're only replicating the negative side effects of Contrary.
1.) pbCanIncreaseStatStage?
PokeBattle_BattlerEffects, line 649 and following. Add the red.

Code:

 def pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(stat,attacker=nil,showMessages=false,move=nil,moldbreaker=false,ignoreContrary=false)
if !moldbreaker
if !attacker || attacker.index==self.index || !attacker.hasMoldBreaker
if hasWorkingAbility(:CONTRARY) && !ignoreContrary
return pbCanReduceStatStage?(stat,attacker,showMessages,moldbreaker,true)
end
end
end
return false if isFainted?
[color="red"]denial=false
denial=true if self.pbOpposing1 && self.pbOpposing1.hasWorkingAbility(:DENIAL)
denial=true if self.pbOpposing2 && self.pbOpposing2.hasWorkingAbility(:DENIAL)
return pbCanReduceStatStage?(stat,attacker,showMessages,moldbreaker,true) if denial[/color]
if pbTooHigh?(stat)
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s {2} won't go any higher!",
pbThis,PBStats.getName(stat))) if showMessages
return false
end
return true
end

2.) pbIncreaseStatBasic
PokeBattle_BattlerEffects, line 670 and following. Add the red.

Code:

 def pbIncreaseStatBasic(stat,increment,attacker=nil,moldbreaker=false,ignoreContrary=false)
if !moldbreaker
if !attacker || attacker.index==self.index || !attacker.hasMoldBreaker
if hasWorkingAbility(:CONTRARY) && !ignoreContrary
return pbReduceStatBasic(stat,increment,attacker,moldbreaker,true)
end
increment*=2 if hasWorkingAbility(:SIMPLE)
end
end
[color="red"]denial=false
denial=true if self.pbOpposing1 && self.pbOpposing1.hasWorkingAbility(:DENIAL)
denial=true if self.pbOpposing2 && self.pbOpposing2.hasWorkingAbility(:DENIAL)
return pbReduceStatBasic(stat,increment,attacker,moldbreaker,true) if denial[/color]
increment=[increment,6-@stages[stat]].min
PBDebug.log("[Stat change] #{pbThis}'s #{PBStats.getName(stat)} rose by #{increment} stage(s) (was #{@stages[stat]}, now #{@stages[stat]+increment})")
@stages[stat]+=increment
return increment
end

3.) pbIncreaseStat
PokeBattle_BattlerEffects, line 689 and following. Add the red.

Code:

 def pbIncreaseStat(stat,increment,attacker,showMessages,move=nil,upanim=true,moldbreaker=false,ignoreContrary=false)
if !moldbreaker
if !attacker || attacker.index==self.index || !attacker.hasMoldBreaker
if hasWorkingAbility(:CONTRARY) && !ignoreContrary
return pbReduceStat(stat,increment,attacker,showMessages,move,upanim,moldbreaker,true)
end
end
end
return false if stat!=PBStats::ATTACK && stat!=PBStats::DEFENSE &&
stat!=PBStats::SPATK && stat!=PBStats::SPDEF &&
stat!=PBStats::SPEED && stat!=PBStats::EVASION &&
stat!=PBStats::ACCURACY
[color="red"]denial=false
denial=true if self.pbOpposing1 && self.pbOpposing1.hasWorkingAbility(:DENIAL)
denial=true if self.pbOpposing2 && self.pbOpposing2.hasWorkingAbility(:DENIAL)
return pbReduceStat(stat,increment,attacker,showMessages,move,upanim,moldbreaker,true) if denial[/color]
if pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(stat,attacker,showMessages,move,moldbreaker,ignoreContrary)
increment=pbIncreaseStatBasic(stat,increment,attacker,moldbreaker,ignoreContrary)
if increment>0
if ignoreContrary
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s {2} activated!",pbThis,PBAbilities.getName(self.ability))) if upanim
end
@battle.pbCommonAnimation("StatUp",self,nil) if upanim
arrStatTexts=[_INTL("{1}'s {2} rose!",pbThis,PBStats.getName(stat)),
_INTL("{1}'s {2} rose sharply!",pbThis,PBStats.getName(stat)),
_INTL("{1}'s {2} rose drastically!",pbThis,PBStats.getName(stat))]
@battle.pbDisplay(arrStatTexts[[increment-1,2].min])
return true
end
end
return false
end

4.) pbIncreaseStatWithCause
PokeBattle_BattlerEffects, line 722 and following. Add the red.

Code:

 def pbIncreaseStatWithCause(stat,increment,attacker,cause,showanim=true,showmessage=true,moldbreaker=false,ignoreContrary=false)
if !moldbreaker
if !attacker || attacker.index==self.index || !attacker.hasMoldBreaker
if hasWorkingAbility(:CONTRARY) && !ignoreContrary
return pbReduceStatWithCause(stat,increment,attacker,cause,showanim,showmessage,moldbreaker,true)
end
end
end
return false if stat!=PBStats::ATTACK && stat!=PBStats::DEFENSE &&
stat!=PBStats::SPATK && stat!=PBStats::SPDEF &&
stat!=PBStats::SPEED && stat!=PBStats::EVASION &&
stat!=PBStats::ACCURACY
[color="red"]denial=false
denial=true if self.pbOpposing1 && self.pbOpposing1.hasWorkingAbility(:DENIAL)
denial=true if self.pbOpposing2 && self.pbOpposing2.hasWorkingAbility(:DENIAL)
return pbReduceStatWithCause(stat,increment,attacker,cause,showanim,showmessage,moldbreaker,true) if denial[/color]

increment=pbIncreaseStatBasic(stat,increment,attacker,moldbreaker,ignoreContrary)
if increment>0
if ignoreContrary
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s {2} activated!",pbThis,PBAbilities.getName(self.ability))) if upanim
end
@battle.pbCommonAnimation("StatUp",self,nil) if showanim
if attacker.index==self.index
arrStatTexts=[_INTL("{1}'s {2} raised its {3}!",pbThis,cause,PBStats.getName(stat)),
_INTL("{1}'s {2} sharply raised its {3}!",pbThis,cause,PBStats.getName(stat)),
_INTL("{1}'s {2} went way up!",pbThis,PBStats.getName(stat))]
else
arrStatTexts=[_INTL("{1}'s {2} raised {3}'s {4}!",attacker.pbThis,cause,pbThis(true),PBStats.getName(stat)),
_INTL("{1}'s {2} sharply raised {3}'s {4}!",attacker.pbThis,cause,pbThis(true),PBStats.getName(stat)),
_INTL("{1}'s {2} drastically raised {3}'s {4}!",attacker.pbThis,cause,pbThis(true),PBStats.getName(stat))]
end
@battle.pbDisplay(arrStatTexts[[increment-1,2].min]) if showmessage
return true
end
end
return false
end

Type Shift

Spoiler:

Yet another idea that takes multiple steps to code. The concept is simple, though.

1.) Adding the new effect.
PBEffects, line 153, should read "# These effects apply to the usage of a move." THREE LINES ABOVE THAT should be the last of the effects that apply to the entire battle. If you've not yet edited this script section at all, said line should be about Wonder Room being effect #12. Whatever the number actually is on that line, make a note of the *next* number. If 12, you want 13. If 15, you want 16. Etc.
Add a new line below above the blank line, reading as follows:

Code:

 TypeShift = [color="red"]13[/color]

Replace the red number with the number you made a note of.

2.) Initalizing the new effect.
PokeBattle_ActiveSideField, line 50, should read "@effects[PBEffects::WonderRoom] = 0". Below that line, add this:

Code:

 @effects[PBEffects::TypeShift] = 0

3.) Coding the new effect's...effect.
PokeBattle_Move, line 412 and following. Add the red lines of code.

Code:

 if @function==0x135 && !attacker.effects[PBEffects::Electrify] # Freeze-Dry
mod1=4 if isConst?(otype1,PBTypes,:WATER)
if isConst?(otype2,PBTypes,:WATER)
mod2=(otype1==otype2) ? 2 : 4
end
if isConst?(otype3,PBTypes,:WATER)
mod3=(otype1==otype3 || otype2==otype3) ? 2 : 4
end
end
[color="red"]if mod1*mod2*mod3>32 && @battle.effects[PBEffects::TypeShift]>0
return mod1*mod2*mod3/8
end[/color]
return mod1*mod2*mod3
end

4.) Making sure the new effect decays over time.
PokeBattle_Battle, lines 3754 and following. Add the red lines of code.

Code:

 # Magic Room
if @field.effects[PBEffects::MagicRoom]>0
@field.effects[PBEffects::MagicRoom]-=1
if @field.effects[PBEffects::MagicRoom]==0
pbDisplay(_INTL("The area returned to normal."))
PBDebug.log("[End of effect] Magic Room ended")
end
end
[color="red"]# Type Shift
if @field.effects[PBEffects::TypeShift]>0
@field.effects[PBEffects::TypeShift]-=1
if @field.effects[PBEffects::TypeShift]==0
pbDisplay(_INTL("The shifted types returned to normal."))
PBDebug.log("[End of effect] Type Shift ended")
end
end[/color]
# Mud Sport
if @field.effects[PBEffects::MudSportField]>0
@field.effects[PBEffects::MudSportField]-=1
if @field.effects[PBEffects::MudSportField]==0
pbDisplay(_INTL("The effects of Mud Sport have faded."))
PBDebug.log("[End of effect] Mud Sport ended")
end
end

5.) Coding the move.
Add this to the bottom of PokeBattle_MoveEffects:

Code:

################################################################################
# For 5 rounds, 4x weaknesses or stronger will be reduced by 8x strength
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_173 < PokeBattle_Move
def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
if @battle.field.effects[PBEffects::TypeShift]>0
@battle.field.effects[PBEffects::TypeShift]=0
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The shifted types returned to normal!"))
else
pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
@battle.field.effects[PBEffects::TypeShift]=5
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It created a bizarre area in which Pokémon's types are weird!"))
end
return 0
end
end

Maicerochico's ideas

Spoiler:

Parasitic, Grass type boost to draining moves

Spoiler:

Venomous

Spoiler:

Outbreak

Spoiler:

Transfusion

Spoiler:

Meltdown

Spoiler:

Yet another move that takes multiple steps.

1.) Adding in the effect.
PBEffects, line 145, reads "# These effects apply to the battle (i.e. both sides)". THREE LINES ABOVE THAT should be the last of the effects that apply to one side of the battle. If you've yet to edit this script section, this should be the line that sets Wide Guard as effect #20. Make note of the number *after* the number in this line - if 20, remember 21. If 27, remember 28. Etc.
Below this line, add the following:

Code:

 Radiation = [color="red"]20[/color]

Replace the red number with the number you remembered.

2.) Initalizing the effect.
PokeBattle_ActiveSideField, line 27, reads "@effects[PBEffects::WideGuard] = false". Below that, add:

Code:

 @effects[PBEffects::Radiation] = 0

3.) Coding the effect's...effect.
PokeBattle_Battle, line 3247 and following. Add in the red lines

Code:

 # Wish
for i in priority
next if i.isFainted?
if i.effects[PBEffects::Wish]>0
i.effects[PBEffects::Wish]-=1
if i.effects[PBEffects::Wish]==0
PBDebug.log("[Lingering effect triggered] #{i.pbThis}'s Wish")
hpgain=i.pbRecoverHP(i.effects[PBEffects::WishAmount],true)
if hpgain>0
wishmaker=pbThisEx(i.index,i.effects[PBEffects::WishMaker])
pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s wish came true!",wishmaker))
end
end
end
end
[color="red"]# Radiation damage
for i in 0...2
if sides[i].effects[PBEffects::Radiation]>0
@battle.pbCommonAnimation("Radiation",nil,nil) if i==0
@battle.pbCommonAnimation("RadiationOpp",nil,nil) if i==1

next if j.hasWorkingAbility(:OVERCOAT) || j.hasWorkingAbility(:MAGICGUARD)
@scene.pbDamageAnimation(j,0)
hploss=j.pbReduceHP((j.totalhp/5).floor)
pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} is hurt by the radiation!",j.pbThis)) if hploss>0
if j.isFainted?
return if !j.pbFaint
end
end
end
end[/color]
# Fire Pledge + Grass Pledge combination damage

4.) Making the effect decay over time.
PokeBattle_Battle, line 3693 and following. Add in the red lines of code:

Code:

 # Tailwind
for i in 0...2
if sides[i].effects[PBEffects::Tailwind]>0
sides[i].effects[PBEffects::Tailwind]-=1
if sides[i].effects[PBEffects::Tailwind]==0
pbDisplay(_INTL("Your team's Tailwind petered out!")) if i==0
pbDisplay(_INTL("The opposing team's Tailwind petered out!")) if i==1
PBDebug.log("[End of effect] Tailwind ended on the player's side") if i==0
PBDebug.log("[End of effect] Tailwind ended on the opponent's side") if i==1
end
end
end
[COLOR="Red"]# Radiation
for i in 0...2
if sides[i].effects[PBEffects::Radiation]>0
sides[i].effects[PBEffects::Radiation]-=1
if sides[i].effects[PBEffects::Radiation]==0
pbDisplay(_INTL("Your team's radiation petered out!")) if i==0
pbDisplay(_INTL("The opposing team's radiation petered out!")) if i==1
PBDebug.log("[End of effect] radiation ended on the player's side") if i==0
PBDebug.log("[End of effect] radiation ended on the opponent's side") if i==1
end
end
end[/COLOR]
# Lucky Chant

5.) Coding the actual move.
Add this to the bottom of PokeBattle_MoveEffects:

Code:

################################################################################
# For 5 rounds, radiation swirls around the opposing team.
# User faints (if successful)
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_175 < PokeBattle_Move
def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
if attacker.pbOpposingSide.effects[PBEffects::Radiation]>0
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
return -1
end
pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,nil,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
attacker.pbOpposingSide.effects[PBEffects::Radiation]=5
if [email protected]?(attacker.index)
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Radiation swirled around the opposing team!"))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Radiation swirled around your team!"))
end
attacker.pbReduceHP(attacker.hp)
attacker.pbFaint if attacker.isFainted?
return 0
end
end

Acid Rain weather effect

Spoiler:

I have been told that in the game this is being originally coded for, the weather has been initalized and coded, and that all I need to do is code the secondary effects. To initalize the weather in your own fan game, please refer to the wiki on how to make a new weather effect.

Poisoning damage increased by 50%

Spoiler:

PokeBattle_Battle, line 3393 and following. Add the red lines. The blue lines exist if you added Technocrat's Virulence ability in the steps above.

Code:

Doubling the chance of moves that poison

Spoiler:

Acidic moves do 50% more damage

Spoiler:

Acid Armor making the user immune to the damage from Acid Rain

Spoiler:

This has to be done in multiple steps.

1.) Adding in a new effect.
PBEffects, line 113, reads "# These effects apply to a side". THREE LINES ABOVE THAT is the last of the effects that apply to a single battler. If you've made no edits to this script section, that line should be setting the effect Yawn to be effect number 106. Remember the number after the one stored in this line - if 106, remember 107. If 123, remember 124. Etc.
Add this below that line:

Code:

    AcidRainArmor      = [color="red"]107[/color]

replace the red number with the number you remembered.

2.) Initializing the new effect.
PokeBattle_Battler, line 476, reads "@effects[PBEffects::Yawn] = 0". Below that, add this line:

Code:

    @effects[PBEffects::AcidRainArmor] = false

3.) Making Pokemon with the effect immune to damage from Acid Rain.
This is the code I presume you used to make the Acid Rain deal damage to Pokemon. If done right, it should be in PokeBattle_Battle, somewhere between lines 2991 and 3412. Simply insert the red line.

Code:

    when PBWeather::ACIDRAIN
      @weatherduration=@weatherduration-1 if @weatherduration>0
      if @weatherduration==0
        pbDisplay(_INTL("The acid rain subsided."))
        @weather=0
        PBDebug.log("[End of effect] Acid Rain weather ended")
      else
        pbCommonAnimation("AcidRain",nil,nil)
#        pbDisplay(_INTL("Acid Rain continues to fall."))
        if pbWeather==PBWeather::ACIDRAIN
          PBDebug.log("[Lingering effect triggered] Acid Rain weather damage")
          for i in priority
            next if i.isFainted?
            if !i.pbHasType?(:POISON) && !i.pbHasType?(:STEEL) &&
               [color="red"]!i.effects[PBEffects::AcidRainArmor] &&[/color]
               !i.hasWorkingAbility(:MAGICGUARD) &&
               !i.hasWorkingAbility(:OVERCOAT) &&
               !i.hasWorkingItem(:SAFETYGOGGLES) &&
               ![0xCA,0xCB].include?(PBMoveData.new(i.effects[PBEffects::TwoTurnAttack]).function) # Dig, Dive
              @scene.pbDamageAnimation(i,0)
              i.pbReduceHP((i.totalhp/16).floor)
              pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} is burned by the rain!",i.pbThis))
              if i.isFainted?
                return if !i.pbFaint
              end
            end
          end
        end
      end

4.) Making this the secondary effect of the move Acid Armor.
PokeBattle_MoveEffects, line 1302 and following. Add the red line. Ignore the blue section if you want the immunity to be granted even if Acid Rain is not up; the PM sent to me asking to add these to the thread was unclear on that front.

Code:

################################################################################
# Increases the user's Defense by 2 stages.
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_02F < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
    return super(attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation) if pbIsDamaging?
    [color="red"]attacker.effects[PBEffects::AcidRainArmor]=true if isConst?(@id,PBMoves,:ACIDARMOR)[/color] [color="blue"]&& @battle.pbWeather==PBWeather::ACIDRAIN[/color]
    return -1 if !attacker.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::DEFENSE,attacker,true,self)
    pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
    ret=attacker.pbIncreaseStat(PBStats::DEFENSE,2,attacker,false,self)
    return ret ? 0 : -1
  end

  def pbAdditionalEffect(attacker,opponent)
    if attacker.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::DEFENSE,attacker,false,self)
      attacker.pbIncreaseStat(PBStats::DEFENSE,2,attacker,false,self)
    end
    return true
  end
end
