Script: [Essentials v17] Following Pokemon v 1.4.1

mej71 · Mar 26, 2016

Updated with some fixes:

You can now talk to your pokemon while surfing (if enabled)
Not only is there a setting for surfing pokemon to follow you, there's also now a setting that lets flying/levitating/user defined pokemon also follow you over the water
Follower should refresh after evolving
Switching from your party screen no longer can make non-applicable pokemon appear while surfing
Having an egg first in your party hides the follower sprite
Having an egg first or a fainted pokemon first no longer shows step animations in grass
Switching between pokemon on the water no longer sometimes displays the incorrect animation
Someone mentioned a problem with bridges. There is no problem, if you have your bridge tile set correctly and use pbBridgeOn it works perfectly

Just to clarify the problem I'm having right now using Dialga here as an example. Basically, I'm trying to get the animation to look like this.

But instead, it looks like this:

Spoiler:

I've tried to modify the code to where it's on a walking basis instead of a stepping basis, but nothing I do seems to help, and it's frustrating me.

Update: The follower now uses the proper walk cycle, and issuing move routes to the follower now works, recopy script.

Found two bugs with this.

1. When entering a map that always has you on a bicycle, ie Cycling Road, the "recall" sound effect constantly plays until the game eventually crashes. Even recalling the Pokemon ahead of time causes the game to crash.
2. When using Dive, the game treats the underwater map like any other map, making you walk on the floor of the river/ocean/lake/etc. and not be able to get back up.

Update: Fixed transferring to cycle-only maps crashing, and diving underwater now works properly. There's a setting that allows or disallows water type followers to follow you when underwater.

If only there were some sort of instructions that explicitly tell you how to set up the events that start the following.

Man nice script indeed but I have a problem. When I heal my pokemon I want to make the pokemon behind me come back to the pokeball so I can give pokeballs to the nurse.. I tried everything when I heal my pokemon just keep behind me, How can I setup a script to make it work?
Ty anyways and sorry for my horrible english ;)

i keep getting an error on line 746
tform = ($Trainer.party[0].form && $Trainer.party[0].form>0) ? "_"+$Trainer.party[0].form : ""

error is
Message: Section196:746:in `+'cannot convert Fixnum into String

changing +$Trainer.party[0].form to +$Trainer.party[0].form.to_s resolves the issue

The same with line 326, needs to be
+form.to_s

sorry about that! I found a bug, if you spam ctrl then you can breach through non passable tiles.

You could start by actually posting the error, otherwise I have no idea what's wrong. My initial guess is you didn't follow my instructions exactly.

Made a minor update to fix Blacking Out from removing your follower, please update your script.

Everytime I use transfer Player the animation of the pokemon coming out of the pokeball will play again, is that normal or something I should fix? Because its kinda annoying. Ty very much

That's normal. If you want to stop that, find where the transferring occurs, and add the red part to this line

Code:

$PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.refresh_sprite[COLOR="Red"](false)[/COLOR]

NO worries then.....If it is normal It will stay like that. Ty very much.

You have to close rmxp before replacing Animations.rxdata
You did not.

I was using your follower script and I noticed that this happen when I try to cross connected maps. I was in my game testing route 2 and Doyle city and this happened.
Tell me is this a bug or not ...or a known bug that is not fixed yet. Thank you very much once again
