[Scripting Question] Help adding new encounter method (Essentials 20.1)

[MythicMerc]

I am attempting to add a "desert" encounter method in my game for specific sandy tiles within my desert map (using Essentials v20.1.). I followed all the instructions on the Wiki page for "Adding new encounter methods," but it's still not working for some reason.

Here is what I'm working with...
Within EncounterType, I added the following:

GameData::EncounterType.register({
  :id             => :Desert,
  :type           => :none,
  :trigger_chance => 21
})

This encounter type should work based on the "taking a step" method, i.e. encounters are only possible when stepping on the specific sandy tiles, so I have the following in Overworld_WildEncounters:

  def encounter_type
    time = pbGetTimeNow
    ret = nil
    if $PokemonGlobal.surfing
      ret = find_valid_encounter_type_for_time(:Water, time)
    else   # Land/Cave (can have both in the same map)
      if has_land_encounters? && $game_map.terrain_tag($game_player.x, $game_player.y).land_wild_encounters
        ret = :BugContest if pbInBugContest? && has_encounter_type?(:BugContest)
        ret = find_valid_encounter_type_for_time(:Land, time) if !ret
      end
      if !ret && has_cave_encounters?
        ret = find_valid_encounter_type_for_time(:Cave, time)
      end   
      if !ret && has_desert_encounters?
        ret = find_valid_encounter_type_for_time(:Desert, time)
      end 
      if !ret && has_swamp_encounters?
        ret = find_valid_encounter_type_for_time(:Swamp, time)
      end       
    end
    return ret
  end

As for the specific tiles that should trigger the encounter, I have labeled them as Terrain Tag #18 within the tileset, and I have added the following to the TerrainTag script section:

GameData::TerrainTag.register({
  :id                     => :Desert,
  :id_number              => 18,
  :battle_environment     => :Desert,
  :shows_reflections      => false
})

Within encounters.txt, I have the listed possible encounters like so:

Desert,21
    20,SANDILE,30,36
    20,HIPPOPOTAS,30,36
    10,TRAPINCH,30,36
    10,CACNEA,30,36
    10,PHANPY,30,36
    10,VULLABY,30,36
     5,BALTOY,30,36
     5,SILICOBRA,30,36
     4,KROKOROK,30,36
     4,VIBRAVA,30,36
     1,GIBLE,30,36
     1,SANDACONDA,30,36

Am I missing something? I thought I had done all the necessary steps, but when I walk on the tiles, battles never trigger. They show up fine, I can walk on them fine....just no wild battles triggering.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

I think the problem is on the line: ":type => :none".
It shouldn't be "none", as all the "none" types are moves that trigger a battle and not a step trigger. Try "land", I think it should work.
