How should this move be formatted?

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

As I stated in a previous thread, I'm very new to this. So I have this move to implement, but it lost all spaces (is it necessary even?) before the script. maybe it'd be easier to show:

class PokeBattle_Move_0H < PokeBattle_Move
failed=false
def pbBaseDamage(basedmg,attacker,opponent)
return basedmg
end
def pbAdditionalEffect(attacker,opponent)
  if opponent.effects[PBEffects::Curse] || opponent.effects[PBEffects::Substitute]>0
   failed=true
  else
   @battle.pbAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent)
   opponent.effects[PBEffects::Curse]=true
   @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} was Cursed!",opponent.pbThis))
  end
 if failed
  @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
 end
 return failed ? -1 : 0
end
end

So how should it be layed out?

This:

class PokeBattle_Move_13F < PokeBattle_Move 
failed=false 
def pbBaseDamage(basedmg,attacker,opponent)
 return basedmg
 end
 def pbAdditionalEffect(attacker,opponent)
   if opponent.effects[PBEffects::Curse] || opponent.effects[PBEffects::Substitute]>0
    failed=true
   else
    @battle.pbAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent)
    opponent.effects[PBEffects::Curse]=true
    @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} was Cursed!",opponent.pbThis))
   end
  if failed
   @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
  end
  return failed ? -1 : 0
 end
end

I have absolutely no idea how you did that, but this is the fix.

Here's a simplified and improved version:

class PokeBattle_Move_13F < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbAdditionalEffect(attacker,opponent)
    return false if opponent.effects[PBEffects::Curse] ||
                    opponent.effects[PBEffects::Substitute]>0
    opponent.effects[PBEffects::Curse]=true
    @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} was cursed!",opponent.pbThis))
    return true
  end
end

The spacing is unnecessary, but it does help a lot for the user to see how it all works.

Remember that the first available function code is 133. IceGod64 used 13F, which is valid although not the first available one - it doesn't really matter so long as you're consistent and remember what you've done.
