Invincible trainer?

[LightningAlex]

Okay, it's a bit unusual, but is it possible to create a trainer that is invincible? In the game I'm making, I want to add an ultimate trainer, who will defeat the player once they engage into battle. Is it possible, and how do I do it?

And, just to clarify, when I say invincible, I don't mean indescribably strong, but possible to defeat. I really mean undefeatable.

It really depends on what you want to do to make the trainer invincible.

You could make his Pokemon have an ability that makes them take 0 damage from everything(but not say anything).

You could have moves that are unobtainable, but let that trainer have them, that are like common ones, such as megavolt, just being a powerful thunderbolt, but have the same accuracy and pp for example, and things like that, and then have OP stats and OP abilities

This is a great idea. But I'm not a programmer. I don't even know in which script the abilities are defined. Any help in doing this would be greatly appreciated.

This was my initial idea, but it'd still be possible to beat the trainer. Hard, yes, but possible. I want the trainer to be absolutely invincible.

Go to abilities.txt and define a new ability (name it whatever you want).

Then, go to the script section "PokeBattle_Battler" and right under this:

if target.effects[PBEffects::Telekinesis]>0
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} makes Ground moves miss with Telekinesis!",target.pbThis))
return false
end
end

Add this:

return false if isConst?(target.ability,PBAbilities,:YOURABILITYNAME)

And that's all. Give him powerful moves if you want so he can also kill players quickly, this ability just makes him inmune to all damage.

Edit: Also, go to PokeBattle_Move and right under Minus/Plus code add this:

basedmg=(basedmg*2000.0).floor if isConst?(attacker.ability,PBAbilities,:YOURABILITYNAME)

That makes the Pokémon with that ability deal massive damage with any move.

 

[LightningAlex]

if target.effects[PBEffects::Telekinesis]>0
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} makes Ground moves miss with Telekinesis!",target.pbThis))
return false
end
end

There's only one "end" in the script. I've tried adding the line you wrote, but the game freezes every time the battle starts. Then it displays the message "The script is taking too long. The game will restart".

 

[DL Kurosh]

Yeah, that was completely my fault. Put the code below this:

if isConst?(target.item,PBItems,:AIRBALLOON)
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s Air Balloon makes Ground moves miss!",target.pbThis))
return false
end
end

Now there should be 2 ends, so right after the second end should be your code. Sorry =P

 

[LightningAlex]

Okay, yeah, so I've added the code you wrote down, in the place you said, and now the game doesn't freeze. However, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the Pokemon is taking damage normally.

 

[DL Kurosh]

It might be a typo. Are you sure that you put the exact internal name here?

return false if isConst?(target.ability,PBAbilities,:YOURABILITYNAME)

Also, are you sure that your Pokémon has that ability? (this seems like a dumb question, but we have to discard all the possibilities)

 

[LightningAlex]

Yeah, I am. I've checked multiple times if the ability name in the scripts matches the one I've defined, and it does.

As for the second question, yeah, I am pretty sure. I've edited the Pokemon in pokemon.txt to have the ability as its hidden ability, and then just defined the ability as "2" in trainers.txt. I hope I'm not doing something incredibly stupid here :\

Just to be sure, is there any way to check what ability the opposing Pokemon has?

 

[DL Kurosh]

I don't know dude, I'm pretty sure that this is a ridiculous error, I just can't figure out what it is. Try with this:

if isConst?(target.ability,PBAbilities,:YOURABILITY)
        return false 
      end

It's literally the code for WonderGuard modified to fit the situation. I hope that works.

How? Did you edit the txt file directly, or did you use the Editor? Because there's a known bug where Essentials won't put Hidden Abilities into pokemon.txt when it edits it.

Yeah, this one works :D !

You were right. I edited the file directly, and now I tried using the editor.

It works now, thank you both so much :D
