A little update about Utility Umbrella with Primordial Weathers case:

Spoiler:

Replace Cherrim's script about change its form:

    # Cherrim
    if isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:CHERRIM)
      if self.hasWorkingAbility(:FLOWERGIFT) && (@battle.pbWeather==PBWeather::SUNNYDAY || 
                                                 @battle.pbWeather==PBWeather::HARSHSUN)
        if self.form!=1 && !self.hasWorkingItem(:UTILITYUMBRELLA)
          self.form=1; transformed=true
        elsif self.form==1 && self.hasWorkingItem(:UTILITYUMBRELLA)
          self.form=0; transformed=true
        end
      else
        if self.form!=0 || self.hasWorkingItem(:UTILITYUMBRELLA) && self.form==1
          self.form=0; transformed=true
        end
      end
    end

Now, to fix the bugs about Primordial Weather, replace all 'def pbPrimordialWeather' to:

  def pbPrimordialWeather
    # End Primordial Sea, Desolate Land, Delta Stream
    hasabil=false
    case @weather
    when PBWeather::HEAVYRAIN
      for i in 0...4
        if isConst?(@battlers[i].ability,PBAbilities,:PRIMORDIALSEA) &&
           !@battlers[i].fainted?
          hasabil=true; break
        end
      end
      if !hasabil
        @weather=0
        pbDisplayBrief("The heavy rain has lifted!")
      end
    when PBWeather::HARSHSUN
      for i in 0...4
        if isConst?(@battlers[i].ability,PBAbilities,:DESOLATELAND) &&
           !@battlers[i].fainted?
          hasabil=true; break
        end
      end
      if !hasabil
        @weather=0
        pbDisplayBrief("The harsh sunlight faded!")
      end
    when PBWeather::STRONGWINDS
      for i in 0...4
        if isConst?(@battlers[i].ability,PBAbilities,:DELTASTREAM) &&
           !@battlers[i].fainted?
          hasabil=true; break
        end
      end
      if !hasabil
        @weather=0
        pbDisplayBrief("The mysterious air current has dissipated!")
      end
    end
  end

Updated the main post about that item.

In 'PItem_Items' script, above 'def pbItemRestoreHP(pokemon,restorehp)' add a new def:

Now, in 'PokeBattle_Pokemon' script, inside 'class PokeBattle_Pokemon' add 'attr_accessor(:mint)' below 'attr_accessor :cool,:beauty,:cute,:smart,:tough,:sheen # Contest stats'

Then, above 'def speciesName', paste:

################################################################################
# Other
################################################################################
# Overrides mint (Default is -1, no effect)
  def mint
    return @mint
  end
    
  def mint=(value)
    @mint=value
  end
  
# Returns the species name of this Pokémon.
#  def speciesName
 #   return PBSpecies.getName(@species)
  #end

Look for 'def calcStats' and replace 'nature=self.nature' to 'nature=(self.mint!=-1) ? self.mint : self.nature'

Find 'def initialize(species,level,player=nil,withMoves=true)' and paste '@mint = -1' above '@species = species'

Finally, to show "the correct stats" in Summary Screen, go to 'PScreen_Summary' script, and replace (or compare with yours) 'def drawPageThree' to:

I tried implementing this code, but I'm getting this error whenever an opposing Pokemon faints or I run away from a wild battle.

I tested about battle (faint and run cases) and works fine. Double check how you added.

I tested about battle (faint and run cases) and works fine. Double check how you added.

I reviewed everything but it's still causing the same problem. I made several edits to my scripts so maybe something I did is preventing this from working properly. I realized that even if I change what I said in my last post, the same error appears when going into page 3 of the summary screen. Upon further investigation, it seems that this segment of the drawpagethree method is causing the problems, as reverting this section to its original form eliminates all errors (the only other code added in this method as far as I could tell was nat = (@pokemon.mint!=-1) ? @pokemon.mint : @pokemon.nature):

    if !(@pokemon.isShadow? && @pokemon.heartStage<=3 rescue false)
      natup = (nat/5).floor
      natdn = (nat%5).floor
      natureup = (@pokemon.nature/5).floor
      naturedn = (@pokemon.nature%5).floor
      statshadows[natureup] = Color.new(136,96,72) if natureup!=naturedn
      statshadows[naturedn] = Color.new(64,120,152) if natureup!=naturedn
    end

The code above is the change you made, while the code below is what it previously was:

    if !(@pokemon.isShadow? && @pokemon.heartStage<=3 rescue false)
      natup = (@pokemon.nature/5).floor
      natdn = (@pokemon.nature%5).floor
      statshadows[natup] = Color.new(136,96,72) if natup!=natdn
      statshadows[natdn] = Color.new(64,120,152) if natup!=natdn
    end

However, I don't see how this changes anything because in the edit you made, the variables natup, natdn, and nat aren't used except for defining them, as natureup and naturedn are used in the same way that natup and natdn previously were. Unless I'm missing something, don't these 2 segments essentially do the same thing?

Also I just realized that you had the prices of the mints as 10 in the PBS file, but shouldn't they be priced at 20 so they can be sold for 10 (Bulbapedia says 10 is their sell price).

I tested my tutorial installing it into a vanilla essentials and it works fine. You need to triple check what you did then.

About the price feel free to change it. o.o I just posted a base and you guys need to edit as you want.

Alright, thanks for your help anyway. I'll see if I can find what I messed up, but I guess it's not that serious if this part isn't implemented correctly because it should be purely visual as far as I can tell.

 

[Kizzo212]

I believe I ran into the same problem when implementing mints, which came down to testing using Pokémon initialised from before implementing. Can't remember exactly how the code works, but think new Pokémon are initialised with some default mint value, and therefore when trying to access this for old mons, it breaks. So try with newly initialised Pokemon instead and should be fine? Was at least the case for me so hopefully this helps.

Also as my first time talking on here, thanks a lot to all the contributors!

Attacks that are multi-hitting don't seem to be working from anyone on the field. I'm certain it has something to do with the implementation of Propeller Tail/Stalwart and whatnot. Please help.

Can't remember exactly how the code works, but think new Pokémon are initialised with some default mint value, and therefore when trying to access this for old mons, it breaks. So try with newly initialised Pokemon instead and should be fine? Was at least the case for me so hopefully this helps.

Also as my first time talking on here, thanks a lot to all the contributors!

Thank you so much! I didn't think it was something so simple, but that was exactly the problem. I might have even left the mints out if you didn't say anything, so it means a lot.

Are you gonna change how speed works in battles now?
In gen 8, any speed changes take place in the current turn, immediately.
Instead of having to wait for the next one.

Like:
Double battle:
Pokemon A(your side) uses Tailwind.
Pokemon B(your side) instantly gets the speed boost, and attacks.

Before Tailwind would only give the boost the following turn.
Do you think having these dynamic speed calculations would be hard to program?

Later perhaps. But you can try to dig how 'pbPriority' works and maybe trying to add it into the final of TURN instead ROUND (I guess v17.2 does that one).

Let's start it!

In the file attached below it shows that I get a syntax error at line 3626 in PokeBattle_Battler whenever I try to playtest the game but line 3626 in the last line of the the script. Do I have to restart?

Think so. Recommend you to add them into a vanilla version of essentials and test, and then add into your project.

This has been super helpful, thank you so much!
I'm having an issue with Octolock. It works partially (the stats still reduce at the end of the turn), but my Pokemon can still switch out and I can still flee from wild Pokemon that use it. As far as I can tell, the only difference in my script and yours is that I changed Octolock's move effect to CF21 and that I have the Jaw Lock script also applied.

Edit: If this helps, here's some of my scripts

but my Pokemon can still switch out and I can still flee from wild Pokemon that use it.

Ern, I just followed what we have from Bulbapedia and Smogon: Just the target cannot switched or flee; the user of Octolock can do that. o.o

Milcery's evo method (Credits to FL, Nuri Yuri and WolfPP if used):

I made this at night (8:53pm)

Spoiler:

Inside 'PItem_Items' script, add below 'def pbIsMegaStone?(item)' code, like:

def pbIsMegaStone?(item)   # Does NOT include Red Orb/Blue Orb
  return $ItemData[item] && $ItemData[item][ITEMTYPE]==12
end

def pbIsSweet?(item)   # Milcery's evolution method
  return $ItemData[item] && $ItemData[item][ITEMTYPE]==13
end

Now, add the sweet items into 'items.txt' ('XXX' will be your last numbers):

XXX,STRAWBERRYSWEET,Strawberry Sweet,Strawberry Sweets,1,500,"A strawberry-shaped sweet. When a Milcery holds this, it will spin around happily.",0,0,13,

To remove the sweet after evolution, go to 'def pbEvolutionSuccess' and add 'HoldSweetItem' inside 'case evonib', like:

    removeItem = false
    createSpecies = pbCheckEvolutionEx(@pokemon){|pokemon,evonib,level,poke|
       case evonib
       when PBEvolution::Shedinja
         next poke if $PokemonBag.pbHasItem?(getConst(PBItems,:POKEBALL))
       when PBEvolution::TradeItem,PBEvolution::DayHoldItem,PBEvolution::NightHoldItem,PBEvolution::HoldSweetItem
         removeItem = true if poke==@newspecies   # Item is now consumed
       end
       next -1

And inside 'def pbMiniCheckEvolution(pokemon,evonib,level,poke)' add the code for it:

  when PBEvolution::Beauty   # Feebas
    return poke if pokemon.beauty>=level
  when PBEvolution::Trade, PBEvolution::TradeItem, PBEvolution::TradeSpecies
    return -1
  when PBEvolution::HoldSweetItem
    pokemon.form=$game_variables[ALCREMIE_FORM]
    return poke if $game_switches[STARTING_OVER_SWITCH]
  return -1
end

def pbMiniCheckEvolutionItem(pokemon,evonib,level,poke,item)

Look for 'Game_Player' script and add 'and !Input.press?(Input::L)' inside 'def update', like:

  def update
    # Remember whether or not moving in local variables
    last_moving = moving?
    # If moving, event running, move route forcing, and message window
    # display are all not occurring
    dir=Input.dir4
    unless moving? or $game_system.map_interpreter.running? or
           @move_route_forcing or $game_temp.message_window_showing  or
           $PokemonTemp.miniupdate
      # Move player in the direction the directional button is being pressed
      if dir==@lastdir && Graphics.frame_count-@lastdirframe>2 and
         !Input.press?(Input::L) # Milcery's evo method
        case dir
        when 2; move_down
        when 4; move_left
        when 6; move_right
        when 8; move_up
        end
      elsif dir!=@lastdir
        case dir
        when 2; turn_down
        when 4; turn_left
        when 6; turn_right
        when 8; turn_up
        end
      end
    end
    $PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.updateDependentEvents

Look for 'PField_Time' script and add a new code below 'def self.isEvening?(time=nil)', like:

# Returns true if it's the evening.
  def self.isEvening?(time=nil)
    time = pbGetTimeNow if !time
    return (time.hour>=17 && time.hour<20)
  end

# Returns true if it's dusk (used to Milcery's evo method only)
  def self.isRainbowSwirl?(time=nil)
    time = pbGetTimeNow if !time
    return (time.hour>=19 && time.hour<20)
  end

Paste the code above 'Main' script:

How to evolve:
The player needs to pressing and holding L Button (or "A", "Q" and "Page Up" buttoms. Look inside 'PSystem_Controls' to check the buttoms) and spin around (360o) at least 4 times ('trigo_wise_spin_turns>=16 || clock_wise_spin_turns>=16') and then press out the L Buttom (IDK the correctly word for it, sorry LOL); else, we included the times (5 and 10 seconds and press out case included).

The script uses game Variable 28. Change it if you want to!

Enjoy it!

Milcery's evo method (Credits to FL, Nuri Yuri and WolfPP if used):

Wow, this does look like the most complex Gen 8 Script you have made till now. Well Done.

Also Congratulations on completing all Gen 8 Scripts.

Now all that we have left is Dynamax and we're done for this generation right?

 

[WolfPP]

Not really because Fauno made it already. Only Camping and Max Raid Battle.

 

[ZargoGames]

I might not have worded it very well, but I gave Octolock to a wild Pokemon to try it out, it used the move on me, and I was still able to switch out and run away, and I was the one the move was used on.
