Errors when changing cries

[Seenit45]

I'm not sure why this happens. I'm trying to edit my scripts for different purposes, but, when that script is supposed to happen ingame, I keep getting an error window which doesn't crash the game, but it gives me the "undefined method for nil:NilClass" message, even though said methods (species,battler etc) do exist in the script.

Here's an example where I try to change Pikachu's fainting cry. For this one, the undefined method is "pokemon":

def pbFainted(pkmn)
    if isConst?(@battler.pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:PIKACHU)
      pbSEPlay("Cries/025Cry_Faint")
    else 
      frames=pbCryFrameLength(pkmn.pokemon)
      pbPlayCry(pkmn.pokemon)
    end
    .
    .
    .

I'm guessing this could be a bug, since the script still plays out and doesn't crash the game, but the error window still pops up.

Hi Seenit. I've moved your post out of Report bugs and errors in unmodified Essentials version 17.2, because obviously it can't be a bug in unmodified Essentials if it only occurs when you make modifications.

You are using variables that do not exist in that context. @battler doesn't exist in that context. However, the variable passed to that method pkmn is a battler object, so you can use that instead. You also don't need to go through pokemon to get the species, battlers have a species method that do the same thing.

It worked now.Thanks a lot for the help!
