[Scripting Question] Howl won't boost the attack of both pokemon

[Eight7]

So I changed howl in the pbs text from user to userside and it does the exact same thing how do I make howl boost both the user and ally's attack stat

Here's a script for the move Gear Up, which has a similar effect:

################################################################################
# Raises the Attack and Special Attack of an ally. (Gear Up)
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_CF12 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
    if [email protected] || !opponent ||
       !opponent.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::ATTACK,attacker,false,self) ||
       !opponent.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::SPATK,attacker,false,self)
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
      return -1
    end
    pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
    opponent.pbIncreaseStat(PBStats::ATTACK,1,attacker,false,self)
    opponent.pbIncreaseStat(PBStats::SPATK,1,attacker,false,self)
    return 0
  end
end

If you were to edit it a bit, I bet you could make it work for Howl. You would need to change the move class to match Howl's, and maybe take out the [email protected] to make it work in Singles. Let me know if you have any questions or it doesn't work!

Here's what I did:

################################################################################
# Increases the user and its partner's Attack by 1 stage. (Howl)
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_1A9 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
    return super(attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation) if pbIsDamaging?
    return -1 if !attacker.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::ATTACK,attacker,true,self) &&
                 !attacker.pbPartner.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::ATTACK,attacker,true,self)
    pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
    attacker.pbIncreaseStat(PBStats::ATTACK,1,attacker,false,self)
    attacker.pbPartner.pbIncreaseStat(PBStats::ATTACK,1,attacker,false,self)
    return 0
  end

  def pbAdditionalEffect(attacker,opponent)
    if attacker.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::ATTACK,attacker,false,self)
      attacker.pbIncreaseStat(PBStats::ATTACK,1,attacker,false,self)
    end
    if attacker.pbPartner.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::ATTACK,attacker,false,self)
      attacker.pbIncreaseStat(PBStats::ATTACK,1,attacker,false,self)
    end
  end
end

Also this is the wrong code for Gear Up. It should raise the Attack and Special Attack of the user and its ally if they have the Plus or Minus ability. Check Magnetic Flux's implementation, because Gear Up is exactly the same as that except it affects Atk and Sp. Atk instead of Def and Sp. Def.
