[Error] Help with the Battle Tower

[Buddershroom]

Hi everyone,

I was trying to use the battle tower and found this error when trying to start a challenge in essentials v18. I tested this in a base essentials project and the error happened there as well. I'm very inexperienced with scripting so I was wondering if there is an easy fix to this.

The error log is below:

[Pokémon Essentials version 18.1]
Exception: RuntimeError
Message: Script error within event 4 (coords 16,3), map 55 (Battle Tower):

Message: PBattle_OrgBattle:489:in `start'undefined local variable or method `t' for #<BattleChallenge:0xd6886d0>

***Full script:
pbBattleChallenge.start(0,7)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I was trying to use the battle tower and found this error when trying to start a challenge in essentials v18. I tested this in a base essentials project and the error happened there as well. I'm very inexperienced with scripting so I was wondering if there is an easy fix to this.

The error log is below:
<Error>

Well, I don't really have too much time to dig into it and test it myself, but here are my thoughts when I read the error and the code.
In the file PBattle_OrgBattle, find the class:

class BattleChallenge

and find the function:

  def start(*args)
    ensureType(@id)
    @currentChallenge=@id   # must appear before pbStart
    @bc.pbStart(t,@numRounds)
  end

According to the usage of pbStart, the missing variable "t" should be an instance of BattleChallengeType, which is returned by ensureType().
So the correct code must be:

  def start(*args)
    t = ensureType(@id) # HERE
    @currentChallenge=@id   # must appear before pbStart
    @bc.pbStart(t,@numRounds)
  end

Hope that helps.

I tested this fix in the base essentials project and it worked. The battle tower isn't crashing anymore.

Thanks for the help.
