How to create new ability?

[MABOM97]

I wanted to know how i do to create a new ability with a new effect?
i wanted to create a ability like Pixilate but for fire

It is possible to a pokemon 2 abilities at same time?

Giving 2 abilities per Pokémon means to change the metagame. In addition it's a lot of work to do.

Making an ability like Pixilate for fire type includes that you take Pixilate code and you edit it.

In PokémonBattle_Move script, in "Calculate base power of moves" section, after IRON FIST ability, add this:

if type==0 && attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:YOURABILITY)
type=getConst(PBTypes,:FIRE) || 0
damagemult=(damagemult*1.3).round
end

Replace "YOURABILITY" with the new ability INTERNAL NAME.

The new ability worked.
I was trying to make a dual type attack like flying press, i copy flying press code and change it to the type i wanted but it doesn't worked.
i copied this
if @id==getID(PBMoves,:FLYINGPRESS)
atype2=getConst(PBTypes,:FLYING)
secondarymod_1=PBTypes.getEffectiveness(atype2,otype1,@battle.inverse)
secondarymod_2=PBTypes.getEffectiveness(atype2,otype2,@battle.inverse)
secondarymod_3=(otype3==nil)? 2 : PBTypes.getEffectiveness(atype2,otype3,@battle.inverse)
else
secondarymod_1=2
secondarymod_2=2
secondarymod_3=2
end

what i'm doing wrong?

If you haven't added the third type on Battlers, the game doesn't work.

Are you talking about PokeBattle_Battler script?

 

[The Master]

Yep.

 

[MABOM97]

Yep.

i don't know what i have to do, i'm new in editing essentials. i have tried to do but nothing, could you tell me more?

 

[The Master]

I can't remember exactly what is the correct thread, but you can make a search like "Adding the third type" script. After that, play the game and check for errors.

There's no specific place to put the code. Where the code goes depends on what the ability is intended to do. The code for Scrappy is in the type effectiveness calculations, the code for Dark Aura is in the base damage calculations, the code for Protean is in the accuracy calculations, etc.

What do you want your new ability to do?
