[Scripting Question] How to force a double battle?

[Diego Mertens]

Hi! I was trying to make this; always that you use a Honey or Sweet Scent in the DarkGrass tile, you will call a double battle. But i don't know how to check if the pbSweetScent method is ejecuting, or how to force a double battle once you use it. Is there a way to do this?

Well, one good to way to check if a code is executing (that isn't very obvious by other means) is to add a line where it changes a switch from off to on. Then, you can check the switch's state in the debug after when it should have triggered.

Not sure how to force double battles in wild random encounters, but that should solve one of your roadblocks

Use CTRL SHIFT F and search to 'pbDoubleWildBattle'.

Inside 'PField_Field':

def pbBattleOnStepTaken(repel=false)
  return if $Trainer.ablePokemonCount==0
  encounterType = $PokemonEncounters.pbEncounterType
  return if encounterType<0
  return if !$PokemonEncounters.isEncounterPossibleHere?
  encounter = $PokemonEncounters.pbGenerateEncounter(encounterType)
  encounter = EncounterModifier.trigger(encounter)
  if $PokemonEncounters.pbCanEncounter?(encounter,repel)
    $PokemonTemp.encounterType = encounterType
[COLOR="Red"]    if !$PokemonTemp.forceSingleBattle && ($PokemonGlobal.partner ||
       ($Trainer.ablePokemonCount>1 && PBTerrain.isDoubleWildBattle?(pbGetTerrainTag) && rand(100)<30))[/COLOR]
      encounter2 = $PokemonEncounters.pbEncounteredPokemon(encounterType)
      encounter2 = EncounterModifier.trigger(encounter2)
      pbDoubleWildBattle(encounter[0],encounter[1],encounter2[0],encounter2[1])
    else
      pbWildBattle(encounter[0],encounter[1])
    end
    $PokemonTemp.encounterType = -1
  end
  $PokemonTemp.forceSingleBattle = false
  EncounterModifier.triggerEncounterEnd()
end

Sweetscent/Honey use pbEncounter to generate their encounters. The catch is, it only generates a double battle if you have a partner.

def pbEncounter(enctype)
  if $PokemonGlobal.partner [COLOR="Red"]||
       ($Trainer.ablePokemonCount>1 && PBTerrain.isDoubleWildBattle?(pbGetTerrainTag)[/COLOR]
    encounter1 = $PokemonEncounters.pbEncounteredPokemon(enctype)
    return false if !encounter1
    encounter2 = $PokemonEncounters.pbEncounteredPokemon(enctype)
    return false if !encounter2
    $PokemonTemp.encounterType = enctype
    pbDoubleWildBattle(encounter1[0],encounter1[1],encounter2[0],encounter2[1])
    $PokemonTemp.encounterType = -1
    return true
  else
    encounter = $PokemonEncounters.pbEncounteredPokemon(enctype)
    return false if !encounter
    $PokemonTemp.encounterType = enctype
    pbWildBattle(encounter[0],encounter[1])
	  $PokemonTemp.encounterType = -1
    return true
  end
end

Adding the red line in PField_Encounters will do the trick.

You missed a ")"
But thanks, that worked :)
