Even More Fixes and Additions to Help-14's Following Pokemon Script

[mej71]

Hey guys :)
Implemented everything so far and it works like it should.
Just wanted to ask if there is a way to make the following pokemon more like an event and not just a sprite. What i mean is that the people in my towns just walk over my pokemon :D
Ideas?

To fix that, find def passable? in Game_Map. Then right under this

for event in events.values
      if event.tile_id >= 0 and event != self_event and
         event.x == x and event.y == y and not event.through
        return false if @passages[event.tile_id] & bit != 0
        return false if @passages[event.tile_id] & 0x0f == 0x0f
        return true if @priorities[event.tile_id] == 0
      end
    end

add

    #remove comment to allow the player to pass through
    if !$game_temp.player_transferring && $game_player.pbHasDependentEvents? && $game_switches[Toggle_Following_Switch] && 
       self_event != $game_player
         dependent=pbGetDependency("Dependent")
         if dependent != nil && self_event != dependent
           if dependent.x==x && dependent.y==y
             return false
           end
         end
    end

This assumes your event is named "Dependent" , as the tutorial instructed you to. I commented out the part that lets you walk over it as your trainer, as I think this makes more sense. The only drawback is it could make you get stuck in some maps. So either remove the comment or design your maps accordingly. Or you could have an option that activates another switch to toggle it, then they can't get stuck.

Edit: Removed the commented part, because it makes you get stuck in doorways during map transfers.
Edit2: Fixed the follower's placement on map transistion (it wasn't previously able to retain the same position due to my addition)
Edit3: Attempt at slightly smoother map transitions. Needs more work elsewhere, but this should help a bit I think

Thank you very much. It worked the way I wanted it. But now, if i leave a map my Pokemon is always first next to me on the new map. After that it starts following me.

Fix for the pokemon event still having a grass animation even when the event is disabled and such. In PokemonField, there are two instances of

if pbGetTerrainTag(event,true)==PBTerrain::Grass  # Won't show if under bridge
      $scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(GRASS_ANIMATION_ID,event.x,event.y)

replace them both with this

if pbGetTerrainTag(event,true)==PBTerrain::Grass  # Won't show if under bridge
    #pokemon follower fix?
    if event != $game_player
      followeranim=true
       events=$PokemonGlobal.dependentEvents
        for i in 0...events.length
          if events[i] && events[i][8]=="Dependent"
            if events[i][6] =="nil"
              followeranim=false
              break
            end
          end
        end
      $scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(GRASS_ANIMATION_ID,event.x,event.y) if followeranim==true
    else
      $scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(GRASS_ANIMATION_ID,event.x,event.y)
    end

Wherever you're calling pbToggleFollowingPokemon from, put it in a conditional

if $Trainer.party.length>0

pbToggleFollowingPokemon

end

Also, in a normal game you wouldn't be able to remove all your pokemon

I actually made my own script to remove all pokemon from the party and store them into the pc. this is how i have no pokemon. after this it has the

if $Trainer.party.length>0

pbToggleFollowingPokemon

end

everything works as it should, up until i turn to where the pokemon use to be and i talk to it, thats when the error occurs.
this gif shows it crashing when i turn to talk to the "pokemon" http://gyazo.com/a949b4f6dffb20dd8538056abcdb5b91
this is the script i made, i used the idea that u used in a previous post but changed the code

class RemoveParty
end

def StoreParty # Stores Party In pc
  for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
    pokemon = $Trainer.party[i]
    pkmn=$Trainer.party[i]  
    clonedpkmn=pkmn.clone
    clonedpkmn.iv=pkmn.iv.clone
    clonedpkmn.ev=pkmn.ev.clone
    $PokemonStorage.pbStoreCaught(clonedpkmn)
    $Trainer.party[i]=nil
  end
  if $Trainer.party.length>0
     pbToggleFollowingPokemon
  end
end

def RefreshParty
  $Trainer.party.compact!
end

I got a question... I want to make the follow script in sort way that just one pokemon follows you just like in pokemon yellow if you have pikachu in your party just pikachu will be able to follow you...please i need help with it

It would be the same thing. There's a few workarounds.

-Create it for all pokemon, but replace every sprite with a Pikachu Sprite. That way, every OW looks like Pikachu.

-Make a Dependant Trainer, but don't let it battle as one, just follow as one.

Thats all I can think of ATM. Ill post back if I think of anything else.

Firstly, you didn't ask a question.
Also, there's a lot of the logic in it you have to change, instead of checking if the first pokemon is fainted, you first have to check if you have a pikachu, and then check if that pikachu is fainted or not, etc.

I'm kinda noob and new on this ehat is the code for cheling the pikachu and the other stuff?

Being new is fine, but I can't teach you how to code. I can only correct mistakes or give advice.

To start

pbHasSpecies?(:PIKACHU)

will return true or false, depending on whether you have a pikachu in your party.
You will probably need to check if you have an unfainted pikachu, not just a pikachu, so use this method instead

def pbHasUnfaintedSpecies?(species)
if species.is_a?(String) || species.is_a?(Symbol)
    species=getID(PBSpecies,species)
  end
  for pokemon in $Trainer.party
    next if pokemon.egg?
    return true if pokemon.species==species && pokemon.hp>0
  end
  return false
end

call it in the same fashion

how many frames does the pokemon sprites use?

 

[mej71]

how many frames does the pokemon sprites use?

They're supposed to be the same as other overworld sprites, 4x4.

 

[p.claydon]

thx yh i figured that bit out bout 5 mins ago thx (just gotta convert my 3x4 sprites now :D)

 

[ROCK7JD]

hello, my English is not very good and because it is I difficult to understand which version is better and which should use I refer to that of Help-14's and that of zingzags
please tell me which to use, there are two topics each one offering a script of pokemon follower and not you which it is the best election

 

[LilaTraube]

how can i make my pokémon all time stepping? :)

Pokemon Essentials

Script 'FollowingPokemon' line 958: NameError occurred.

uninitialized constant Events
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

So, I've been trying to re-add Pokemon following into the newest essentials and I'm getting some weird error, not sure what it is or why it's being caused, but on line 958 is under the Events.onStepTakenFieldMovement+=proc{|sender,e| line, to be exact it's that exact line, I copied it right off of here, and don't know what it's doing right now. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it as I'm trying to get a form of demo/alpha/beta out for my game.

 

[Kikori]

Hey :D

I am still looking for these locations in the script:

- Where to Adjusts did the large Pokemon can not in houses?
- And where can I set how quickly the Pokemon moves while the player is stopped?

Thank you! :3


A second thing:
The Emotions will not play on some maps. Where can I change?

Hm, maybe try this?

pbAddPokemon(PBSpecies::DEINO,5)
pbPokemonFollow(1)

Also, I do have two questions if anyone could possible answer them. I've gotten the script to work out quite well but here is the problem. The overworlds move about two times faster then they should. The other is the actual walk cycle; they overlap the player. I'm linking a screenshot below as to what I mean. I don't want to go digging through the script and risk messing anything up, but I would love some help! My questions are simple. How can I adjust the overworld walking speed and how can I fix the overlapping?
