[Scripting Question] Custom ability: Dragon's Blessing

[Golisopod User]

Firstly, I am stuck with attempting to make it so that the Pokemon changes forms after using any Dragon-type move.

So look at how Lightning Rod checks for type of move and adapt that code. But instead of raising Sp. Def add the makeDragon Method in the code. And make sure the check is for attacker or user and not target.

Can you give me an example code?

Actually, if you're talking about this code:

Spoiler:

if targets.length==1 && isConst?(thismove.pbType(thismove.type,user,target),PBTypes,:ELECTRIC) &&
!target.hasWorkingAbility(:LIGHTNINGROD)
for i in priority # use Pokémon earliest in priority
next if user.index==i.index || target.index==i.index
if i.hasWorkingAbility(:LIGHTNINGROD)
PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{i.pbThis}'s Lightningrod (change target)")
target=i # X's Lightningrod took the attack!
changeeffect=1
break
end
end

then how do I change it so that it changes the form of the Pokemon after using a Dragon-type move?

Done another part!

Spoiler:

def getDragonForm
if isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:DRAMOTH) && self.hasAbility?(:DRAGONSBLESSING)
return 1
else
return-1
end

Now how do I make it so when a Dragon-type move is used, then it transforms?

More help with Dragon's Blessing

Okay so I have done the rest of the code for Dragon's Blessing just by referencing Disguise's code. Now all I need is to make the Pokemon transform after using a Dragon-type move. I have looked at the code for Lightningrod and for Flower Gift but I'm still confused. I also looked at the Mega evolution and Primal codes.

Any more help please?

Okay so now I've put this under Anger Point.

Spoiler:

if opponent.hasWorkingAbility(:DRAGONSBLESSING) && isConst?(opponent.species,PBSpecies,:DRAMOTH) && isConst?(move.type,PBTypes,:DRAGON)
if opponent.hasDragon? and !opponent.isDragon?
@pokemon.makeDragon
if [email protected]
[email protected]
end
self.pbUpdate(true)
@battle.scene.pbChangePokemon(self,@pokemon)
end
end

Will this work or will it give me big fat errors?

Great job now all you gotta do is call the makeDragon and makeMoth code wherever the Primal Reversion methods makePrimal and makeUnprimal methods are called. But you gotta make sure that you define the Dragon and Moth forms in the same way Primal Groudon and Kyogre are defined in Pokemon_Forms

Alternatively you can try adapting this code

Will this work?

Spoiler:

if opponent.hasWorkingAbility(:DRAGONSBLESSING) && isConst?(opponent.species,PBSpecies,:DRAMOTH) && isConst?(move.type,PBTypes,:DRAGON)
if opponent.hasDragon? and !opponent.isDragon?
@pokemon.makeDragon
if [email protected]
[email protected]
end
self.pbUpdate(true)
@battle.scene.pbChangePokemon(self,@pokemon)
end
end

You should try the code yourself and tell us if you have any errors.

Odd story, it did.

I don't have access to my PC right now, but I'll be sure to test out your code.

Also maybe try replacing all the instances of 'opponent' with 'target' and see if it works.

Okay so unfortunately, even after using a Dragon-type move, Dramoth still isn't changing forms! :(

Ohhh you want Dramoth to become a Dragon if it uses a Dragon-move, not if it gets hit by one. Sorry my bad. Try replacing the opponen/target in your code with 'user'

You should make sure that Dramoth turns into its Moth Form After Battle.
