Script: [Essentials v17] Following Pokemon v 1.4.1

[Snooper16]

Getting a strange occurrence after healing my Pokemon at the Pokemon Center, though it doesn't necessarily crash the game. When the nurse returns my Pokemon, two of them begin to follow me (when I technically should only have one), and I can't (as far as I know) interact with the one closest to my character. For reference, my situation is I have a lone Mimikyu in my party. It is the only Pokemon in my party. After healing it at a Pokemon Center, a "clone" will appear along with the intended one, appearing behind the first Mimikyu that spawned. As stated before, I cannot interact with these Mimikyu, and the party says I still only have one.

Pokemon Following by Mej71 question.

So in my Pokemon game, I need Pikachu to follow the player. I tried using a partner Pokemon but it doesn't work with surfing and flying. I want to have classic HMs and not make alternate options for it. So is there a way to get Mej71's script and change it to make specifically one Pokemon follow you so you can surf and do normal stuff?

I really need some way to fix it, thank you!

I've merged your question into the Following Pokémon thread. Please ask questions about resources in the threads that already exist. :)

Great, thanks!

I had a compatibility problem with the multi-player system. When the second protagonist catches the Pokémon this error occurs:

I created a fix for this problem, and here is my suggestion:

Look for line 1559 of Following_Pokemon, it should be this one:

Add in the line just above the term begin, and in the line just below the term rescue, and just below rescue put an end, as in the image:

The code:

      if Input.trigger?(Input::C) # try to talk to pokemon
        begin
          $PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.talk_to_pokemon
        rescue
          # Nothing happens if the protagonist 
          # doesn't have a dependent yet but has already 
          # activated the switch
        end
      end

The comment is not necessary, but I put it to explain the reason for this try/catch in this function.

Hope this helps.

Surrouding something with a try/catch, or (begin/rescue in Ruby) is not a solution. It's a workaround. I assume that in this case, that means not being able to talk with the follower.

 

[omanoloneto]

Yes, this is a workaround. To correct this case, you would have to validate if there is more than one protagonist and if that protagonist took the no partner. But in any case, this try / catch does not prevent talking to the partner, what happens is that in case the first protagonist has already caught the addict, when the second protagonist will get the code, he understands that we are trying to talk to the partner who we already had before, so I used try / catch. This has no effect on the functioning of the addict, only the error that stops showing.

Sorry my english, I don't speak this language.

Rename all the 'PokemonPartyScreen' to 'PokemonScreen' in the Following Pokemon Script.

Thanks a lot 😊

I have a problem, the pokemon follows me and I can see the animations when I talk to him, but when using the command: $PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.refresh_sprite
this error appears:

prntscr. com/t8q6vu

I had to separate the. com because the forum won't let me post links.

Read your error buddy. What is 'isDeltap'? Do you have it in your game (delta pokémon)? If not, just use CTRL SHIFT F and delete all codes that use 'isDeltap?', if you have it, you need to define it inside 'def change_sprite' IIRC.

 

[Flokibr182]

thank u, solved.

 

[Flokibr182]

Spoiler:

This always happens when I return the pokemon to the pokeball, either with the Ctrl key, or in the pokemon center.

I'm getting this over and over every time I blacked out
I updated the script and I'm using 17.2

Is there a way for me to go into the scripts and make it only allow one Pokémon to follow you, regardless of if they're first or not? Maybe something like a partner Pokémon, but not, because if you try to surf or fly it won't work.

Any help would be nice, thanks!

Got 2 questions:

1. when the first Pokémon in my party faints, the Overworld Shadow still persists and keeps following me - can I either make the Overworld Shadow disappear or still let fainted Pokémon follow me?

2. when I walk near water or through puddles, there's a reflection of my player but not my following Pokémon - can I either make it reflect my following Pokémon too or disable the player reflection?

I think we've solved these problems in this post or in the script posts (Overworld Shadow and Water Reflection)

Sadly I couldn't find anything by searching for them, guess I'll have to read through all those threads then (yikes) but good to know they've been solved, thanks for the answer! :)
