Gen 8 move animation project [DISCONTINUED]

[DarrylBD99]

It sure would. I don't know if you have seen that when a Pokemon with the surge abilities like grassy surge comes in battle the ability pop up would vanish instantly and that is probably because there are no common animations for the terrain effects. However I don't know whether it will keep the battle bg with the terrain graphics, I never tried.

I am pretty sure for that, you may need a custom script...

Yes indeed.
Shashu is right though. This is because there is no "flexibility" in the way animations are handled (maybe that changed in V19 but I don't know).
If you have Move:PSYCHICTERRAIN but no Common:PsychicTerrain, then the move animation will trigger when you use the move Psychic Terrain, but not when you need to use the common animation Common:PsychicTerrain.

Also, I want to point out something, in relation with what WolfPP said earlier.
Some common animations are related to move animations. The reason why there is no flexibility (the reason why the common animation doesn't trigger the move animation) is because (I believe) the common animation is supposed to be a "shortened" version of the move animation. Thus, it is supposed to be different.
But that gives us a nice lead to try: let's just shorten the move animations to make the corresponding common animations :)

Just to keep you updated. I am mainly focusing on my fangame this week and probably the next few weeks. I am in the mood to implement my story, now that it is written. So there will probably be no update in the animations soon ^^"

Sorry to ask but any chance to do a new vídeo to show all move/ common anim you guys made so far?

Yeah sorry I keep postponing this XD
I'll do it soon. Give me a few days.

 

[Shashu-Greninja]

I have a question, is there no common animation for battle bond or bond evolution of greninja. I could find of none or rather none was mentioned in the to-do common animations list.

What you are pointing out was also the problem with Gulping and Gorging.

My TODO list only contains common animations that are called in Pokémon Essentials (well, now I realise there are some common animations that are called in ZUD only lol). If there is no call to this:

pbCommonAnimation("Xxxxx", user)

then there is no need to make the common animation Xxxxx.
Here, Essentials V18.1 I don't know for V19, I didn't bother look into it lol never calls

pbCommonAnimation("BattleBond", user)

so I didn't need to include it.
I'm adding Battle Bond to the list though, even if it will require to add this line of script somewhere.

 

[Shashu-Greninja]

Can anyone tell me what is the naming of the graphic files for Moongeist Beam and Oblivion Wing

It's called GEN8- Moongeist Beam.png. For Oblivion Wing, it's the same file, but with a different tint.

Actually, maybe we can just make a tutorial in the main post to add those animations for those who may be lost and not so sure about coding.

I believe we need to resize the anim for Surging Strikes (just the "water tornado") by 2, as I did (see the attachments).
Also, any chance to add an aura for Wicked Blow? Like you guys did for Surging Strikes. Maybe what we have from "GEN8- Fiery"?

I have even made TWO videos!

Stupid me, I've made the video before changing the size... I've put your resized PNG in the project. Thanks :)

EDIT: OK, I'll do it... Soon ^^"

Oh speaking of that StCooler, I like the new videos that you posted, especially the part where there is no audio at all for both videos XD.

I didn't check...

 

[WolfPP]

I checked Pyro Ball and I believe it can be polished. It seems more like a fire comet (and right now, it is just a "normal fire more that burns the target").
Can you guys change the animation? I believe some of them can help (I just rotate a little the pyro ball pics to you guys see the idea xD).
Cya!

 

[WolfPP]

After I use Jaw Lock move, the target's battler sprite keeps kinda weird haha

 

[AiurJordan]

Pokemon become invisible when they miss with dig (such as attacking a flying type), not sure how to fix it but it's reproducible for me. (v19.1 w/ EDBX but using this animation pack).

 

[WolfPP]

Shell Side Arm move has two differents animation: when it is a contact move or not. Can you guys do when it is a contact move? We have only the other one. The code I made below (remember to change "201" for your number):

Spoiler:

#===============================================================================
# This move inflicts physical or special damage, whichever will be more 
# effective. This may also poison the target. (Shell Side Arm)
#===============================================================================
class PokeBattle_Move_201 < PokeBattle_PoisonMove
  def initialize(battle,move)
    super
    @calcCategory = 1
  end
  
  def physicalMove?(thisType=nil); return (@calcCategory==0); end
  def specialMove?(thisType=nil);  return (@calcCategory==1); end
  def contactMove?;                return (@calcCategory==0); end
    
  def pbOnStartUse(user,targets)
    stageMul      = [2,2,2,2,2,2, 2, 3,4,5,6,7,8]
    stageDiv      = [8,7,6,5,4,3, 2, 2,2,2,2,2,2]
    # Calculate user's effective attacking value
    atk           = user.attack
    atkStage      = user.stages[PBStats::ATTACK]+6
    realAtk       = (atk.to_f*stageMul[atkStage]/stageDiv[atkStage]).floor
    spAtk         = user.spatk
    spAtkStage    = user.stages[PBStats::SPATK]+6
    realSpAtk     = (spAtk.to_f*stageMul[spAtkStage]/stageDiv[spAtkStage]).floor
    # Calculate target's effective defending value
    oppDef        = targets[0].defense
    oppDefStage   = targets[0].stages[PBStats::DEFENSE]+6
    realOppDef    = (oppDef.to_f*stageMul[oppDefStage]/stageDiv[oppDefStage]).floor
    oppSpDef      = targets[0].spdef
    oppSpDefStage = targets[0].stages[PBStats::SPDEF]+6
    realOppSpDef  = (oppSpDef.to_f*stageMul[oppSpDefStage]/stageDiv[oppSpDefStage]).floor
    # Determine move's category
    finalPhysical =((((2*user.level/5+2)*90*realAtk)/realOppDef)/50) 
    finalSpecial  =((((2*user.level/5+2)*90*realSpAtk)/realOppSpDef)/50)
    @calcCategory=0                   if finalPhysical>finalSpecial
    @[email protected](2) if finalPhysical==finalSpecial  
  end

  def pbShowAnimation(id,user,targets,hitNum=0,showAnimation=true)
     hitNum=1 if @calcCategory==0 # Physical anim
    super
  end
end

About Terrain Pulse, we need to rename them inside the Editor to:
Move:TERRAINPULSEELECTRIC
Move:TERRAINPULSEGRASSY
Move:TERRAINPULSEMISTY
Move:TERRAINPULSEPSYCHIC

Instead "Terrain Pulse Electric"; "Terrain Pulse Grassy"; "Terrain Pulse Misty" and "Terrain Pulse Psychic".
Also its script is the below (remember to change "192" for your number):

Spoiler:

#===============================================================================
# The user utilizes the power of the terrain to attack. This move's type and 
# power changes depending on the terrain when it's used. (Terrain Pulse)
#===============================================================================
class PokeBattle_Move_192 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbBaseDamage(baseDmg,user,target)
    baseDmg *= 2 if @battle.field.terrain != :None && user.affectedByTerrain?
    return baseDmg
  end

  def pbBaseType(user)
    ret = :NORMAL
    if user.affectedByTerrain?
      case @battle.field.terrain
      when :Electric; ret = :ELECTRIC if GameData::Type.exists?(:ELECTRIC)
      when :Grassy;   ret = :GRASS    if GameData::Type.exists?(:GRASS)
      when :Misty;    ret = :FAIRY    if GameData::Type.exists?(:FAIRY)
      when :Psychic;  ret = :PSYCHIC  if GameData::Type.exists?(:PSYCHIC)
      end
    end
    return ret
  end
  
  def pbShowAnimation(id,user,targets,hitNum=0,showAnimation=true)
    t = pbBaseType(user)
    hitNum = 1 if t == :ELECTRIC   # Type-specific anims
    hitNum = 2 if t == :GRASS
    hitNum = 3 if t == :FAIRY
    hitNum = 4 if t == :PSYCHIC
    super
  end  
end

Hello'-'

Hello'-'

Hello :) How are you?
The project is currently on pause from my side, because I want to focus on my own fangame. When I have a playable beta I'll come back to it.

Really great community brought together by pokemon! Now I sound like professor Oak. Anyways, I'm not the best spriter to say the least, but I can give it a shot! And I will, I've been trying to learn spriting for the past month and I'm doing so great so far! I'll try to publish an animation If I ever plan on completing a full fledged animated attack project!
