[Scripting Question] I do not know why, but I cant manage to backup my Team

[TritraSerpifeu]

So... I have added two simple scripts to my game

def pbBackupTeam
  $game_variables[40]=$Trainer.party
end

def pbReturnParty
  $Trainer.party=$game_variables[40]
end

And the pbBackupTeam parts works,
My idea is that after I backup the team I set the Team level to 50 for a trainer battle and after that the Levels return to whatever they were. This is why I run after pbBackupTeam a script that sets the levels of the entire team to 50

for poke in $Trainer.party
poke.level = 50
poke.calcStats
poke.heal
end

But here comes the problem, when I use pbReturnParty afterwards. My Team stays the same
Please help

Why does

def pbReturnParty
$Trainer.party=$game_variables[40]
end

not work?

Thanks in advance!

The reason your team stays the same is not a problem in your return function, it's actually a problem in your backup function. When you do "$game_variables[40] = $Trainer.party", all you're doing is setting that variable equal to the trainer's party. In other words, you are not COPYING the Pokemon over, so if you make any changes to the trainer's party, those changes are reflected in variable 40 as well. You need to copy each Pokemon individually in your backup function like this:

def pbBackupTeam
    $game_variables[40] = []
    for poke in $Trainer.party
        $game_variables[40].push(Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(pokemon)))
    end
end

Again, your restore method is fine, you just need to replace your backup method with the one above.

I am not sure why, because $game_variables[40] exists...

Sorry, I made a typo in this line:

$game_variables[40].push(Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(pokemon)))

Replace that line with:

$game_variables[40].push(Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(poke)))

Thanks... You will be credited...
