[Scripting Question] How to change type effectiveness comment?

[TheJawsOfDeath]

I know in PokeBattle_Battler the Type effectiveness chart reads this:

if numhits>1
if target.damagestate.typemod>4
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's super effective!"))
elsif target.damagestate.typemod>=1 && target.damagestate.typemod<4
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's not very effective..."))
end


How can I add "It's ultra effective!" and "It's extremely ineffective" for 4x weakness and 0.25 resistance respectively?

I did something along the lines of this:

Spoiler:

if numhits>1
if target.damagestate.typemod>16
if alltargets.length>1
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's ultra effective on {1}!",target.pbThis(true)))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's ultra effective!"))
end
elsif target.damagestate.typemod>8 && target.damagestate.typemod<=16
if alltargets.length>1
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's super effective on {1}!",target.pbThis(true)))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's super effective!"))
end
elsif target.damagestate.typemod>=1 && target.damagestate.typemod<8
if alltargets.length>1
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's not very effective on {1}...",target.pbThis(true)))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's not very effective..."))
end
elsif target.damagestate.typemod<1
if alltargets.length>1
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's not at all effective on {1}...",target.pbThis(true)))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("It's not at all effective..."))
end
end
if realnumhits==1
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Hit {1} time!",realnumhits))
else
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("Hit {1} times!",realnumhits))
end
end

Red indicates lines that I've either added or changed. Also, PokeCommunity reset the formatting.

Pokemon Essentials 16.2 uses the number value 8 as neutral effectiveness. I played around with the numbers until I discovered that 16 is the maximum number for a move to be considered "Super effective" by the game. Similarly, the game treats anything less than 8 and greater than or equal to 1 as being "Not very effective".

All I did was define the boundaries by changing the Super Effective lines of code to work between being greater than 8 and less or equal to 16 (and only display the Super Effective message in that range), then making it say something if the value is greater than 16. I didn't need to change the Not Very Effective one as it was already very well defined. Did the exact same thing for it being less than 1, however that one might not work (haven't gotten round to testing it yet as I just made it about an hour or so before this post).

This worked for me, but there are probably better ways.

Edit: Tested it. Extreme ineffectiveness doesn't work.

You have to check also PokeBattle_Move and, by editing all "mod" variables.
