[Question] How do I give a Pokemon only 1-3 moves without an error?

[CaiGuyCrafter]

So, in the trainers.txt file, I'm making a Brock trainer. Obviously, he's weaker compared to other gym leaders. And also, his Pokemon can only really learn like two moves up to that point, so I'm only giving it those two moves. However, when I do it, running the game gives me an error? How do I simply give it under four moves without getting an error? Do I have to put some kind of value in for no move?

Like this:

Spoiler:

[LEADER_Brock,BROCK]
Pokemon = GEODUDE,12
Gender = male
Moves = TACKLE,DEFENSECURL,,
Pokemon = ONIX,14
Gender = male
Moves = TACKLE,BIND,ROCKTOMB,

Where the commas are is where it is giving me the error.

Don't mean to bump, but since this is an important error I have on my project, I was wondering if anyone could help me? It seems like an easy enough fix, just that I don't know how to do it with v19. You used to be able to just leave the moves blank in previous versions I think, but something that was changed doesn't allow it. So what variable do I put in between those commas?

Try without the commas.

If you find:

module TrainersMetadata

you'll see that in the compiler, moves have this "formatting":

    "Moves"     => [TPMOVES,     "eEEE", :PBMoves, :PBMoves, :PBMoves, :PBMoves],

The interesting part is "eEEE" ; this means that, when you write "Moves = " in trainers.txt, the compiler expects at least one move, and then up to three optional moves. When the compiler reads:

 Moves = TACKLE,DEFENSECURL,,

it will first split it into a list. It expects this list to consist of one to four strings, and then converts these strings to a PBMoves constant.
In the above case, the list will be:

["TACKLE", "DEFENSECURL", "", ""]

and the compiler will try to convert "TACKLE" to the constant PBMoves::TACKLE, "DEFENSECURL" to PBMoves::DEFENSECURL, and "" to... Well, to an error.
However, if you write:

 Moves = TACKLE,DEFENSECURL

without the commas, the list will be:

["TACKLE", "DEFENSECURL"]

thus no error!
