[Error] Does anyone understand this error?

Hey, I have been having problems installing the 6-8 gen Abilities, but I have already managed to fix many errors. But there is one that I don't understand. Is this:

Ernnn, what is 'p>0'? It supposed to be 'p=thismove.priority'.

In this if statement it's checking if the moves' priority is greater than 0. P should be defined earlier, but p>0 is right in this location.

As said above, p in that if statement p is coming up as nil (nonexistent). It should be set to the moves priority, so leave it in but ensure at some point about p=thismove.priority is placed

I am missing the

Code:

p=thismove.priority

in the code. But I don't know where it should go. Where in Poke_Battler should it go? I'm pretty new to ruby and I have a hard time doing these kinds of things.

Thanks to both

I think your problem is where you put this code for Psychic Terrain. I believe this section should go under the code for Quick Guard in Pokebattle_Battler under 'def pbSuccessCheck' so that it looks like this:

Code:

  def pbSuccessCheck(thismove,user,target,turneffects,accuracy=true)
    if user.effects[PBEffects::TwoTurnAttack]>0
      return true
    end

    if thismove.function==0xDE && target.status!=PBStatuses::SLEEP # Dream Eater
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} wasn't affected!",target.pbThis))
      PBDebug.log("[Move failed] #{user.pbThis}'s Dream Eater's target isn't asleep")
      return false
    end
    if thismove.function==0x113 && user.effects[PBEffects::Stockpile]==0 # Spit Up
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed to spit up a thing!"))
      PBDebug.log("[Move failed] #{user.pbThis}'s Spit Up did nothing as Stockpile's count is 0")
      return false
    end

I made the change, but it seems to still not work, it produces the same error.
I attach the part of the code, to see if I'm wrong.
And if you still want to help me, I also send you the PokeBattle_Battler code, in case it's another error sooner or later. Sorry to bother you, but I appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

In class PokeBattle_ActiveField, inside def initialize, have you initalized @effects[PBEffects::PsychicTerrain] ?

You'll need to add this:
@effects[PBEffects::PsychicTerrain] = 0

Thanks I have worked the error has disappeared. I still get some bugs with abilities like the RKS SYSTEM, which doesn't change type after combat, or Mimikyu's Disguise, which becomes invulnerable when entering its vulnerable form, but I'll try to fix it myself. If I have a problem that I cannot solve, I suppose I will ask again.

Thanks to all three, without you I would not have fixed it. You clearly go to the credits.
