[Scripting Question] Is there a way I can make trick room an ability?

[Vivethen]

Every thread I've seen so far has not given me a solution that works to making trick room an ability. I'm using an older version of essentials being V17.2 but I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I could do it? I understand if nobody knows since I'm using an older version...

I've tried making it myself to no luck. I put his right above intimidate in PokeBattle_Battler:

Spoiler:

if self.hasWorkingAbility(:TRICKERY) && onactive && @battle.effects[PBEffects::TrickRoom]==0
@field.effects[PBEffects::TrickRoom]=3
PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{pbThis}'s Trickery")
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} twisted the dimensions!",attacker.pbThis))
end

Does anyone know how I can get this to work?

There were a few errors in your code: @field doesn't exist, what you want is @battle.field. Also there is no attacker here, it's supposed to be the active battler (hence self, which can be avoided).

This should work:

    if self.hasWorkingAbility(:TRICKERY) && @battle.effects[PBEffects::TrickRoom]==0
      @battle.field.effects[PBEffects::TrickRoom]=3
      PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{pbThis}'s Trickery")
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} twisted the dimensions!",pbThis))
    end

    end

The errors you mentioned make sense when I look at it. Unfortunately the code you sent did not work for me. The error message is as follows:


Could I just be posting the code in wrong location? I put it in the same location as my previous code, right above intimidate in PokeBattle_Battler.

No, it's my bad, it's another error I didn't see lol: instead of @battle.effects, it should be @battle.field.effects

    if self.hasWorkingAbility(:TRICKERY) && @battle.field.effects[PBEffects::TrickRoom]==0
      @battle.field.effects[PBEffects::TrickRoom]=3
      PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{pbThis}'s Trickery")
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} twisted the dimensions!",pbThis))

It worked! Thank you so much! (:
