Custom trainer battles

[coguepard]

Hi, after upgrading to essentials v16 I'm receiving this error every time i use the script:
*new user (cannot display links)*
In the essentials wiki it sais that it's due to a spelling mistake but the script worked perfectly with v15.

Hey buddy, same trouble as you. Since I have no idea what the whole code does, not even the essential because there is no information where I can find each part of the essential code to learn what the whole scripts do.

I suggest you go to "Custom Trainers" which is the one you created, according to your image and as your debugger says in the image you attached, line 180. There you have 7 arguments, the sky and inverse (I am an old pokemon player, from first generations so I have no idea what these battle modes are) and since for Essentials v16 it only accepts 5 arguments, erase the last two I told you.

Cheers!

Does the script's page need to be put in any particular location, or just make a new page and go?

Nevermind, this was a dumb question.

I'm having trouble with applying the canlose feature into the custom script. The code I have is below and if possible can someone please tell me if I've done something wrong.

Spoiler:

p0 = createPokemon("PIKACHU", 20)
p0.pbLearnMove(:THUNDERBOLT)
p0.pbLearnMove(:ELECTROBALL)
p0.pbLearnMove(:QUICKATTACK)
p0.pbLearnMove(:IRONTAIL)
p0.setItem(:ELECTRIUMZ2)
p0.makeMale
party = [p0]
trainer = createTrainer(211, "Ash",
party)
canlose = true
result = customTrainerBattle(trainer,
"That was a great battle.")
pbSet(1, result == BR_WIN ? 0 : 1)

Thanks man.
Everything worked for me but can you tell me how to give an item to a Pokemon?
Thanks for the help mate.

Are you still there? Can you please look at those scripts where you pasted this?

When you have opened the section in which they are, Press CTRL + G and type 60 then Press Enter, Now, Just Type # in the first of that line. Save it, It should work now. (Cuz it also happened with me. :D )

Is there anyway to change Pokémon forms with this script?

 

[Pokeminer20]

There is this neat feature in base essentials that allows you to clone the players party to a switch/variable. Could we use that to make a trainer battle?

Sorry for the bump maybe, but will this script be made compatible with V18? I tried porting it, but I get errors. This is a way better way to configure battles then with PBS.

No it isn't. Why would you think that.

Sure, it's not hard. Insert this method in the script.

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Returns a random element from a given array.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def randomElement(array)
  i = rand(array.length)
  return array[i]
end

Then, in the event, instead of writing createPokemon("PIKACHU", 13) you can write
createPokemon(randomElement(SomePool), 13), and you'll need to define 'SomePool',
either in the event script or in a global script (such as CustomTrainers) as,

SomePool = ["PIKACHU", "BULBASAUR", "SOME_OTHER_POKEMON"]

If instead of returning only a single Pokemon from a predefined pool, what if I want them to use a party of variable length which I can set pre-execution?
