[Scripting Question] Error with different Pokémon forms

[Rich7NS3]

Hey,

I'm working on my game, and I tried to add Genesect to a trainer and got the below error. I've tried to add other Pokémon with forms (like Arceus) and get the same problem.

Spoiler:

[Pokémon Essentials version 17.2]
Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `formseen' for nil:NilClass
PSystem_PokemonUtilities:224:in `pbSeenForm'
Pokemon_Forms:19:in `form='
Pokemon_Forms:9:in `form'

Pokemon_Forms:43:in `initialize'
PTrainer_NPCTrainers:128:in `new'
PTrainer_NPCTrainers:128:in `pbNewTrainer'

I've Googled and can't find anything. Does anyone have any advice how to fix or any work arounds? I don't want to have to remove all forms from my game.

This, the Maruno answer, it should work for you^^

When I try Maruno's method, I get a different error

um...Are you using 17.2?

um...Are you using 17.2?

Yeah, why? D'you think I might have a corrupt version?

Can you show the event in which you have the trainer being created? Also are you using EBS? If you could download a clean version of essentials and try adding a (form) pokemon to a trainer on that it might help narrow down your problem, most likely a formatting error of some sort.

The main thing I'm seeing is that maybe the pokemon you're trying to create aren't holding the required item and so when you are forcing a form without the item required it's pulling an error. Genesects require DRIVES and Arceus require PLATES, I think this might be the case even on enemy pokemon.

Thanks for your response! I've downloaded a clean version, copy and pasted an existing trainer, changed the name and tried to add a Pokémon. I've tried lots of Pokémon with different forms (not just hold items) such as Shellos, Unown, etc and none of them work.

Here's the event I've just tried: https://ibb.co/tzWztHB

I've never used EBS, could that help?

Sorry for the confusion! I meant to ask for a picture/c&p of the text where you are giving a trainer the formed pokemon.

Anyways, this exact problem has been solved before courtesy of Maruno.

I'm not totally sure but with the error you get in PTrainer_NPCTrainers; it looks like you could have made a mistake while trying his method

I run into the same exact error when I download a clean version of essentials and try to encounter a person with a forme mon, but after applying the fix Maruno provides it works perfectly (as seen below), maybe this will help you more as it's a bit more of a spoonfeed:

step one:

Spoiler:

Go to PTrainer_NPCTrainers and change the entire line of code from this (should be around line 50)

pokemon.forcedForm = true if poke[TPFORM]!=0 && MultipleForms.hasFunction?(pokemon.species,"getForm")

to this

pokemon.forcedForm = poke[TPFORM] if

and directly below the line you just changed you'll see this line of code which you should erase completely:

pokemon.formNoCall=poke[TPFORM]

step two:

Spoiler:

Go to PokeBattle_Battle

on line 161 change

pokemon.forcedForm = false if MultipleForms.hasFunction?(pokemon.species,"getForm")

to

pokemon.forcedForm = nil if MultipleForms.hasFunction?(pokemon.species,"getForm")

(all you are changing is the 'false' to 'nil')

And then you should be all good to have something like this:

(given you've entered the correct PBS trainer data, my example from above looks like this in text format)
