Error with making a Surf item

[Minokun]

When I tried to use a item I created to be a substitute for surf I got this error:

---------------------------

Any ideas?

Welp, we don't have your code, so we can't help you, but it looks like you are calling a method that desn't exist.

 

[Bowlstir]

Yeah it's basically impossible to see whats wrong without the rest of the coding for the item and it's effect.

Tip:
Always make back ups, and always remember what and where you added things one step at a time so you can easily go back and 'undo'.

Go back and re-follow the tutorial you used. It works fine, you just messed something up or skipped a step.

You clearly followed an incomplete tutorial because you're missing a vital part of your script; def canUseMoveSurf?.

I suggest you make that.

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry your right you can't read my mind! Here are the codes I altered.

HiddenMoveHandlers::CanUseMove.add(:SURF,proc{|move,pkmn|
def canUseMoveSurf?
   terrain=Kernel.pbFacingTerrainTag
   notCliff=$game_map.passable?($game_player.x,$game_player.y,$game_player.direction)
   if !$DEBUG &&
      !(HIDDENMOVESCOUNTBADGES ? $Trainer.numbadges>=BADGEFORSURF : $Trainer.badges[BADGEFORSURF])
     Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Sorry, a new Badge is required."))
     return false
   end
   if $PokemonGlobal.surfing
     Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("You're already surfing."))
     return false
   end
   if $game_player.pbHasDependentEvents?
     Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("It can't be used when you have someone with you."))
     return false
   end
   if pbGetMetadata($game_map.map_id,MetadataBicycleAlways)
     Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Let's enjoy cycling!"))
     return false
   end
   if !pbIsWaterTag?(terrain) || !notCliff
     Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("No surfing here!"))
     return false
   end
   return true
 end
})


HiddenMoveHandlers::UseMove.add(:SURF,proc{|move,pokemon|
def useMoveSurf
   if !pbHiddenMoveAnimation(nil)
     Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} used {2}!",$Trainer.name,PBMoves.getName(Surf)))
   end
   pbStartSurfing()
   return true
 end
})

And:

ItemHandlers::UseFromBag.add(:FLOATIE,proc{|item|
   next canUseMoveSurf? ? 2 : 0
})

ItemHandlers::UseInField.add(:FLOATIE,proc{|item|
   useMoveSurf if canUseMoveSurf?
})

I can quote myself lol...

Is this in the wrong place..?

Yes, you procedure syntax is wrong. Delete 'HiddenMoveHandlers::CanUseMove.add(:SURF,proc{|move,pkmn|', 'HiddenMoveHandlers::UseMove.add(:SURF,proc{|move,pokemon|' and the '})'. I suggest you to take a look at my example.

Oh, I thought you just cut that part out! My mistake (as always), thanks FL! {XD}
