[Scripting Question] How to change damage done by weaknesses/resistances?

[Jacob550]

So normally super effective moves do 2x damage and not very effective moves do 0.5x, but how could I change that multiplier? Like, what I want to do is make all not very effective moves do no damage, but I don't want to change them all into immunities because that would make pokemon with 2 types OP. So how do I make it so that, for example, fighting does no damage to a flying pokemon, but does neutral damage to a normal/flying?

I figured this out. I did it by changing this

if typemod==0
opponent.damagestate.calcdamage=0
opponent.damagestate.critical=false

to this

if typemod<8
opponent.damagestate.calcdamage=0
opponent.damagestate.critical=false

in PokeBattle_Move.

So do you think that I could take this approach to change the W/R's to be other values? I've always wanted weakness to be x1.5 and resistances to be x2/3.

I wouldn't recommend you try to make that change in this part of the code, because IIRC lots of other places assume that typemod is one of 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 and you'll end up breaking abilities like Filter which check for those numbers specifically.

Instead I'd try to find the place in the code where Essentials computes the multiplier from the typemod (which it does by dividing by 8) and change that to compute your new W/R multipliers.

Now that you mention it, I think I already asked this question on this forum and you gave me the same answer.
I was/am unfortunately very lazy/incompetent and didn't find it myself. But I can always try again later.
