[Scripting Question] How do I rework paralysis

[Eight7]

So I wanna rework paralysis where it halves their speed like usual but I want to remove random turn skips due to paralysis and make it so that it only skips their turn if they attempt to use a priority move

so that it is not abused by trickroom facade/guts

but how would I do that?

I'd look for the code for Dazzling/ Queenly Majesty and add something like

if pkmn.paralysed?

ok I took your advice but how do I turn off the random chance to paralyze cause when I try to hash it out I get errors

Simply delete this code in "Battler_UseMove_SuccessChecks" to disable the random paralysis chance. :)

# Paralysis
    if @status==PBStatuses::PARALYSIS
      if @battle.pbRandom(100)<25
        pbContinueStatus
        @lastMoveFailed = true
        return false
      end
    end

Thanks I ended up tweaking psychic terrain script like this and it worked.

if pokemon.status==PBStatuses::PARALYSIS && thismove.priority>0 &&
!thismove.doesIgnoreDazzling?
PBDebug.log("Paralysis prevented #{user.pbThis}'s priority move")
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The paralysis prevented the use of priority moves!"))
return false
end
