[Custom Feature Question] Is it possible to have damage inflicted before the battle starts

[uncutpokemon]

So I want an event where upon battling an opponent, the players team has several of their team members loose some (or all) their hp. Can this be done? I've tried the deal damage, and change hp commands but nothing happens.

I didn't made this code. Credits to xPokejosex. Put this code in a new script above main.

def hurt_team(percentage) # Call an event with hurt_team(20) to make an 80% damage to the team, as an example.
  for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
    calc = ($Trainer.party[i].hp * (percentage / 100.0)).floor
    $Trainer.party[i].hp = calc
  end
end

BONUS

def burn_team
  for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
    $Trainer.party[i].status = PBStatuses::BURN
  end
end

You can use this code to inflict burn to your team with an event. Works the same way as the one for the damage. You can also poison, sleep or paralysis. The only thing that you have to change is the burn_team to sleep_team, poison_team or paralysis_team. And, of course, the PBStatuses::BURN to one of those statuses (SLEEP, POISON, PARALYSIS).

Remember to call the event in the correct way for each other. (burn_team, sleep_team...)
