[Other Question] Is there a way to make a pokémon disappear when its using the move 'Fly'?

[Christikrunsch98]

Hi👋🏼

Is there a way to make your Pokémon disappear when it is using "Fly, Dig, Dive" or simular attacks?

Like in the original Pokémon games?:


In the scripts I found an animation for fainting where the Pokémon sprite moves down and its opacity to 0 %.
But I have no idea how I could implement this for "Fly" when the Pokémon is in Charging turn.

Hey,

I got the same problem. In older versions of Essentials, Fly and such would hide the sprite of the Pokémon. In later versions, the functions were removed.
I took the code from an old version of Essentials (could be v16.something), adapted it and it works. So, in the following, I am assuming that you are using v18.1.

Paste this somewhere:

class PokeBattle_Scene
  def pbVanishSprite(pkmn)
    pkmnsprite=@sprites["pokemon_#{pkmn.index}"]
    pkmnsprite.visible = false
    pbUpdate    
  end
  def pbUnVanishSprite(pkmn)
    # @battle.pbCommonAnimation("Fade in",pkmn,nil) if fade
    pkmnsprite=@sprites["pokemon_#{pkmn.index}"]
    pkmnsprite.visible = true
    pbUpdate    
  end  
end

I pasted this just above the definition of:

class PokeBattle_TwoTurnMove < PokeBattle_Move

because that's where I'm using it.

Then, in this class PokeBattle_TwoTurnMove, find the function

  def pbShowAnimation(id,user,targets,hitNum=0,showAnimation=true)

and replace its code with:

  def pbShowAnimation(id,user,targets,hitNum=0,showAnimation=true)
    hitNum = 1 if @chargingTurn && !@damagingTurn   # Charging anim
    super
    if ["0C9","0CA","0CB","0CC","0CD","0CE","14D"].include?(@function)
      @battle.scene.pbVanishSprite(user) if @chargingTurn
      @battle.scene.pbUnVanishSprite(user) if @damagingTurn
    end 
  end

The thing is, the animation of Fly in the Gen 8 project is weird, because its charging turn ("Pokémon flew up high") has an animation that hits the target, without hitting it. But well, this is another topic.

Thank you! It works!😊

Do you have one for v21? Cuz it's broken in v21 as well, unfortunately
