I got Sir Pitzho's same error in an otherwise unmodified version of Essentials v16.2. I put pbPokemonFollow(16) after pbCreatePokemon and a blank event corresponding to that.

what exactly did you do? I got the same exact script as Sir Pitzho, attempted what you said and it still doesn't work. If anyone else has had this problem please help out! Thanks

IceGod64 · Mar 5, 2017

Yes, it didn't work for you because it didn't work for me either. Read where I said:

I got Sir Pitzho's same error

Gresh113 · Mar 10, 2017

Yeah, I'm getting the same error as SrPitzho and IceGod64.

mrw200 · Mar 14, 2017

So I've been getting the same NoMethodError and after looking through the script I found this:

#===============================================================================
# * Start Pokemon Following
# * x is the Event ID that will become the follower
#===============================================================================
def pbPokemonFollow(x)
Kernel.pbAddDependency2(x, "Dependent", 50)
$PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.refresh_sprite
$PokemonTemp.dependentEvents.Come_back(nil,false)
$game_switches[Following_Activated_Switch]=true
$game_switches[Toggle_Following_Switch]=true
end

What I discovered is that "pbAddDependency2(x, "Dependent", 50)" calls for the common event "50" which isn't already set in Essentials. The script doesn't need a specific common event, but it does need a spot for one so all I did to fix this was change the maximum number of common events to 50.

I'm not sure if this is the proper way to fix this error but It works for me so... ?\_(?)_/?

IceGod64 · Mar 14, 2017

Wow, that did work. Surprising. Thank you.

How would you change that?

mrw200 · Mar 16, 2017

In the Database there is a tab called Common Events. At the bottom of the list of the common events is a button that lets you change the maximum number of common events. Set it to 50 and you should be good.

That worked! Thank you!
My only problem now is that I can't get the sprites to actually display...

calling methods? sorry still new to scripting, i made sure pbPokemonFollow and the add pokemon had capitals when they should but was it something else that was meant to be capitalized?

pbPokemonFollow actually shouldn't have the first letter capitalized, it should look exactly like that. Check the definitions of methods if you are ever unsure or getting errors, it'll look something like

Code:

 def pbPokemonFollow
...

Mej just meant the part that was underlined is not meant to have a capital P for pb. I assume the correct line would be:

pbAddPokemonSilent(:PIKACHU,5)
pbPokemonFollow(17)

Simple :P

So update (same error crash again) but i went back over the install and followed it closely
- add script above main and below compiler
- close and save rpgmakerxp
-get animations.rx- thingy
-get animations.rar
-put into data and graphics/animations
-create event with name "Dependent"
-create event with "script:pbPokemonFollow(X)" in this case X is 17
-Run
-Talked to npc
-Crash below happened

I dont get why this is happening even though I followed directly,
sorry to be a pest and seem like i'm being a stupid 10 year old (i'm not thankfully)

Is your Dependent Event, Event ID 17 on the Map? If not check this first.

Or go to Database, open Common Events and change the maximum Number to 50.
This fixed at least my error message which was similar to yours.

Jazerules · Apr 22, 2017

Hello all,

When i'm testing the script on ice terrain I got a bug which the following pokemon stays same tile as the player when sliding, I don't know if this is already address, other than that it works all fine.

Also can somebody show me how to change the location path of overworld graphics because when I made new folder in graphics/characters/ and updated it in the BGpath locating file it still won't find the graphics.

Another issue I have is the animation won't show , like for example I was at "Home" still it won't show any emotion even when interacted.

Thanks in advance!
