[Error] Help! I keep getting this error while I try to start a Pokemon Battle

I'm not sure what's wrong. I compared it to multiple other brand newly downloaded copies but they're identical.

Did you put Crafty Shield's effect in the PBEffects and Pokebattle_ActiveSideField script sections?

Golisopod User · Jul 18, 2020

Also check if in PBEffects, you haven't left any other effects as XXX while copying Gen 7 ot 8 Move Codes

I did, I double checked and it's in both PBEfffects and Pokebattle_ActiveSideField script sections

If you did that correctly, then I don't know why it wouldn't work. I'm pretty sure this error means that the problem is in PBEffects, so all you should have to do is assign the CraftyShield effect a number that no other effect has that applies to a side has.

I checked in PBEffects, CraftyShield has a value and is not XXX, nor is any of the other effects.

I literally went to PBActiveSideField and took the

def initialize

and changed it to

def initialized

and it fixed the problem...how? I'm not sure.

But thank you for giving me the idea. I have a new problem now which is

---------------------------

Any ideas?

I don't think it fixed the problem. I think you just took away a constructor for that class, and since the "initialized" method is not used, there will be no error from Crafty Shield from it. The new error you're getting is probably from removing the "def initialize" constructor.

EDIT: Also, if you're using essentials v17, doesn't that already include Crafty Shield?

That would explain the new issue then.

I am using v17. I didn't touch Crafty Shield and when I remove it, it moves on to the next move. I'm not too sure what the issue is, I know it's in Pokebattle_ActiveSideField I'm just not sure how.

Can you send the part in your PBEffects script under "# These effects apply to a side" and the part in the Pokebattle_ActiveSideField script under the first "def initialize"?

That looks good. Is this what the code looks like for you in Pokebattle_ActiveSideField for the ActiveSide part?

Code:

begin
  class PokeBattle_ActiveSide
    attr_accessor :effects

    def initialize
      @effects = []
      @effects[PBEffects::CraftyShield]       = false
      @effects[PBEffects::EchoedVoiceCounter] = 0
      @effects[PBEffects::EchoedVoiceUsed]    = false
      @effects[PBEffects::LastRoundFainted]   = -1

Mine looks like

@effects[PBEffects::EchoedVoiceCounter] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::EchoedVoiceUsed] = false
@effects[PBEffects::LastRoundFainted] = -1

@effects[PBEffects::Rainbow] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::Reflect] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::AuroraVeil] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::Round] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::Safeguard] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::SeaOfFire] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::Spikes] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::StealthRock] = false
@effects[PBEffects::StickyWeb] = false
@effects[PBEffects::Swamp] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::Tailwind] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::ToxicSpikes] = 0
@effects[PBEffects::WideGuard] = false
end
end

Also, I tried copying your page but it still didn't work

That's really strange. I'm not sure why you're getting this error then, especially if you're on essentials v17. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Did you add any new Gen 7 or 8 code in your game?
