How do I modify the VS. Animation script for non-trainer events?

    Hello, fellow essentials user. First off, I would like to confirm that I am using the latest version of essentials (12.2). Now, on to my question. Around line 668 in PokemonField, I found the VS. script by Luka S.J. and edited by Maruno.
    Spoiler:
    By changing the "if trainerid >= 0" to "if switch_id=80", I was able to trigger the event when ever switch 80 was on. I would like to know how to tweak this script to allow a V.S. sprite in a non-trainer battle. More specifically, an event Pokemon battle. I want to know which parts to modify that will change the opponent sprite without altering the player sprite as I accidentally did in the past. I realize I must modify some of the graphics pointers but not which ones.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

    I think something like this would work.
    Instead of replacing the original, I suggest adding a space and paste this in
    You'd need to in the event put a bit of code that says
    name=#name of the Pokémon(I don't know how to turn its ID into its name)#
    pbSet(2,name)
    then turn on switch 80
    And make a bar image for the Pokémon's ID in the transitions folder
    called vsBarPokémon001 (for bulbasaur)
    Code:

    also, change

  end

  Events.onWildBattleOverride.trigger(nil,species,level,handled)
  if handled[0]!=nil
    return handled[0]
  end
  currentlevels=[]
  for i in $Trainer.party
    currentlevels.push(i.level)
  end
  genwildpoke=pbGenerateWildPokemon(species,level)
  Events.onStartBattle.trigger(nil,genwildpoke)
  scene=pbNewBattleScene
  battle=PokeBattle_Battle.new(scene,$Trainer.party,[genwildpoke],$Trainer,nil)
  battle.internalbattle=true
  battle.cantescape=!canescape
  pbPrepareBattle(battle)
  decision=0
  pbSet(1,species)
  pbBattleAnimation(pbGetWildBattleBGM(species)) { 
     pbSceneStandby {
        decision=battle.pbStartBattle(canlose)
     }
     if $PokemonGlobal.partner
       pbHealAll
       for i in $PokemonGlobal.partner[3]; i.heal; end
     end
     if decision==2 || decision==5 # if loss or draw
       if canlose
         for i in $Trainer.party; i.heal; end
         for i in 0...10
           Graphics.update
         end
       else
         $game_system.bgm_unpause
         $game_system.bgs_unpause
         Kernel.pbStartOver
       end
     end
     Events.onEndBattle.trigger(nil,decision)
  }
  Input.update
  pbSet(variable,decision)
  Events.onWildBattleEnd.trigger(nil,species,level,decision)
  return (decision!=2)
end
    I tested it and it worked
    How do I modify the VS. Animation script for non-trainer events?

    I was not changing the original and used a copy in case of crashes, ;). Wow! Thanks for the help! It worked like a charm. I just changed it so that it checked for mugshots rather than the actual battle sprite since I am using official artwork rather than pixelated mugshots. Maybe a tutorial could be made on this for the wiki...

    Feel free to post a tutorial. If you could say that I helped out with it and tag my pokecommunity profile that'd be great. I'd like to see how this looks in your game as a feature like this never came to mind for me.

    The tut is up under the "Battle" sections of tutorials(I would link it, but I do not have 15 posts yet).
