[Scripting Question] Fusing Two Pokemon to Make One?

[sonicfan7895]

Hi all!

My team and I are getting closer and closer to finishing our project; we almost have Pokemon and items done and over with. There is just one thing left standing in our way...

Two of our legendary Pokemon are set to fuse together to make one ultra-powerful Legendary. The problem with this is, that unlike White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, this ultra-powerful legendary that I mentioned is not going to be treated as a separate form of both of these legendaries, but rather its own separate Pokemon.

I've been thinking of using some of the code used for the DNA Splicers and how the item functions, but I don't know if this is the correct avenue to drive down, so to speak.

If I could get some help on deciding what to do, that would be awesome!

Bump. I really need help with this, please.

This is a start, but what needs to happen is similar to the DNA Splicers; two Pokemon need to come together to make one; and to get them back I would need to un-fuse them.

Unless the stuff you mentioned would go INTO a sort-of mock-DNA Splicers code for this item.

This is what I mean; a simple "equation":

(Legendary 1) + ((Legendary 2) + (Transformation Item)) = Legendary 3

Legendary 1 is either of the legendaries, whichever is selected first, same goes for Legendary 2, and the transformation item is what is used to fuse the two to create Legendary 3. And the opposite would need to happen in order to un-fuse Legendary 3 back into Legendaries 1 and 2.

This is my ultimate goal.

To put it into perspective, here's a mock-up script I made based on the DNA Splicers:

ItemHandlers::UseOnPokemon.add(:[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]EBONYGEM[/COLOR],proc{|item,pokemon,scene| [COLOR="SeaGreen"]# Transformation Item[/COLOR]
   if (isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:[COLOR="Red"]SERKIRA[/COLOR]) || [COLOR="seagreen"]# Legendary 1/2[/COLOR]
      isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:[COLOR="Red"]EBONDRAC[/COLOR]) [COLOR="SeaGreen"]# Legendary 1/2[/COLOR]
     if pokemon.hp>0
       if pokemon.fused!=nil
         if $Trainer.party.length>=6
           scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("You have no room to separate the Pokémon."))
           next false
         else
           $Trainer.party[$Trainer.party.length]=pokemon.fused
           pokemon.fused=nil
           pokemon.form=0
           scene.pbHardRefresh
           scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} separated itself!",pokemon.name))
           next true
         end
       else
         chosen=scene.pbChoosePokemon(_INTL("Fuse with which Pokémon?"))
         if chosen>=0
           poke2=$Trainer.party[chosen]
           if (isConst?(poke2.species,PBSpecies,:SERKIRA) ||
              isConst?(poke2.species,PBSpecies,:EBONDRAC)) && poke2.hp>0 && !poke2.isEgg?
             pbAddPokemonSilent(:SERKINDRAC,80)
             pokemon.fused=poke2
             pbRemovePokemonAt(chosen)
             scene.pbHardRefresh
             scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("They created [COLOR="Red"]Serkindrac[/COLOR]!")) [COLOR="SeaGreen"]# Legendary 3[/COLOR]
             next true
           elsif poke2.isEgg?
             scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It cannot be fused with an Egg."))
           elsif poke2.hp<=0
             scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It cannot be fused with that fainted Pokémon."))
           elsif pokemon==poke2
             scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It cannot be fused with itself."))
           else
             scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It cannot be fused with that Pokémon."))
           end
         else
           next false
         end
       end
     else
       scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("This can't be used on the fainted Pokémon."))
     end
   else
     scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It had no effect."))
     next false
   end
})

Well that makes it even more complicated. Two into one is easy: You remove the two and add the one. Splitting the one back into two is similarly easy. Back into the same two? I'm not sure that's even possible. You'd need to store everything about the two for when they split, and then how do you account for any stats gained?

I noticed even more problems with this mechanic, like the stats gained or the levels, and even taking into account un-fusing and re-fusing the two legendaries together. Which would probably reset the progress on the third legendary, which would ultimately not make for a very likable game mechanic. So I'm scrapping that idea and going back to the drawing board, I guess.
