    Hi! I've been working on a fangame with essentials for a few weeks, and I'd say I'm pretty acquainted with the basics of the coding parts but there's one thing I cannot figure out, and it's coding in a double hit move that is one type for the first hit (fire) and a different type for the second (ice).

    If anyone could help me figure out how to code the new function code in (if it's possible) I'd really appreciate it! 😁
     
    In your move code you'll want to make it so the type of the move changes type for the second hit. This can be done with pbInitialEffect(user,targets,hitNum), as it is run before the move starts. In that function set @type to :ICE if hitnum == 1 (the number of the hit you're currently on is zero indexed). You should probably also set it to :FIRE otherwise. Haven't tested it to make sure it works but that's my idea.
     
    Hi there. I've moved this thread to the Pokemon Essentials subforum. The Resources section is for posting ready-to-use scripts or graphic packs, not for questions. Don't hesitate to reach out if you're unsure of where to post!
