[Scripting Question] Edit a base stat depending on held item

[hirokimura]

Hey !
I'd like to know if it's possible to edit BS based on a held item.
Let's say I have a Charizard (BS Speed -> 100) I'd like to make it's BS speed become 140 if it holds an item, and only while holding it.
Is it doable?
Thanks !

Try taking a look at how Quick Powder is programmed.

in the code, locate def calcStats and replace it with something like this

  def calcStat(base,level,iv,ev,pv)
    base = (statnumber) if isSpecies?(species) && hasWorkingItem(item)
    return ((((base*2+iv+(ev>>2))*level/100).floor+5)*pv/100).floor
  end

this will appear in the stat screen, as opposed to what the quick powder method the above post mentioned

Thanks for the answers, really :)
Anther quick question, do you know if there is a way of targeting a specific stat? Like if I want to target atk or speed only. By the way I understand the class definition it takes every stats in consideration.

duplicating def calcStats into 5 variants each according to each stat and using that would work also. something akin to this should work

  def calcATK(base,level,iv,ev,pv)
    return ((((base*2+iv+(ev>>2))*level/100).floor+5)*pv/100).floor
  end

  def calcDEF(base,level,iv,ev,pv)
    return ((((base*2+iv+(ev>>2))*level/100).floor+5)*pv/100).floor
  end

  def calcSPE(base,level,iv,ev,pv)
    return ((((base*2+iv+(ev>>2))*level/100).floor+5)*pv/100).floor
  end

  def calcSPA(base,level,iv,ev,pv)
    return ((((base*2+iv+(ev>>2))*level/100).floor+5)*pv/100).floor
  end

  def calcSPE(base,level,iv,ev,pv)
    return ((((base*2+iv+(ev>>2))*level/100).floor+5)*pv/100).floor
  end

  def calcStats
    nature=self.nature
    stats=[]
    pvalues=[100,100,100,100,100]
    nd5=(nature/5).floor
    nm5=(nature%5).floor
    if nd5!=nm5
      pvalues[nd5]=110
      pvalues[nm5]=90
    end
    level=self.level
    bs=self.baseStats
    for i in 0..5
      base=bs[i]
      if i==PBStats::HP
        stats[i]=calcHP(base,level,@iv[i],@ev[i])
      elsif i==PBStats::ATTACK
        stats[i]=calcATK(base,level,@iv[i],@ev[i],pvalues[i-1])
      elsif i==PBStats::DEFENSE
        stats[i]=calcDEF(base,level,@iv[i],@ev[i],pvalues[i-1])
      elsif i==PBStats::SPEED
        stats[i]=calcSPE(base,level,@iv[i],@ev[i],pvalues[i-1])
      elsif i==PBStats::SPATK
        stats[i]=calcSPA(base,level,@iv[i],@ev[i],pvalues[i-1])
      elsif i==PBStats::SPDEF
        stats[i]=calcSPE(base,level,@iv[i],@ev[i],pvalues[i-1])
      end
    end
    diff=@totalhp-@hp
    @totalhp=stats[0]
    @hp=@totalhp-diff
    @hp=0 if @hp<=0
    @hp=@totalhp if @hp>@totalhp
    @attack=stats[1]
    @defense=stats[2]
    @speed=stats[3]
    @spatk=stats[4]
    @spdef=stats[5]
  end

of course apply the modification I gave above to the proper sections, with any modifications you want to be in a similar vein to use it.

Nice answer ! Thanks for taking so much time to explain this ! I'll try to mess it a bit and post a resource when I'll be able to do what I want :)
Thank you :)

Thank you :)

credit should also go to pokemon emyprean. they gave me the basis for this brain child with their card system.

No problem ! To be honest, when I'm looking at the code carefully, this seems so complete, I mean, if I'm doing it right, I'll just post the final code here and let you decide to post it or not as a resource, since I won't have to do anything xD
Thanks so much for the help !
