[Error] Error when battling Pokemon

[Tommaniacal]

For some reason, when battling a pokemon, every time either one uses a move I get this error. At first I thought this was because of using pokemon I added to the game (gen 6-7 and some new pokemon) but it happens for every pokemon. It also doesn't appear to be because of moves I've added, because it happens with existing moves I haven't edited at all.

It's probably because of edits you made to the moves. Even if it was from attacks you didn't touch, the attack codes will still run the entire line of code when using an attack. You should always only make edits one at a time and not move on until they've been tested and work, so hopefully you remember where and what you changed so you can go back and make corrections.

And

Turn back when you edited or add something in 'pbProcessMoveAgainstTarget'.

I looked through every instance that mentions 'pbProcessMoveAgainstTarget' and I haven't touched anything in there. I even compared mine with the script of an unedited essentials script and they are identical, so I'm not sure why it's mentioning that.

then it would be any of the moves you edited. like I said it runs the entire script for that area so what you changed may be causing an error when it interacts with pbprocessmoveagainsttarget

It's weird, because I tried replacing the moves.txt of a clean copy of essentials with the one I'd been using, and I didn't get any errors. So it looks like it isn't the moves, but some script I edited. Thankfully I hadn't added too many new scripts so I can add them until I find what was wrong.

Yeah if there was an error in your pbs files then it would show when you tried to start up the game. The error you described is definitely from a script that's been edited
