Make an Ability can trigger moves/move effects

[DaihanChoripan]

Hello friends, today I was struggling to implement a new ability called Flammable, what it does is that when receiving a Fire attack, the target automatically uses Explosion, similar to Perish Body from Cursola that when hit by a physical attack creates the effect by Perish Song, so, i have tried different things without much luck, can you help me?

The idea is simple: When receiving a fire-type attack, the target hit will have the effect of Explosion if it has that ability, regardless of whether or not the attack is in the Pokémon's movepool. Getting Damp and MoldBreaker to disable this ability is easier for me (I think).

Spoiler:

Hi Daihan, I've moved your thread to Pokémon Essentials because your screenshot doesn't look like it's for a ROM hack. Let me know if I'm wrong, and I'll move it back.

Literally using the move in the middle of the turn would be pretty hard to implement. So I'd advise you to focus on what explosion does (kill the user, damage all other battlers). Just reduce your own hp to 0 and damage other battlers by a set amount.

target.pbReduceHP(target.hp)

eachBattler do |b|
  next if b==target
  b.pbReduceHP(b.hp/2,false)
end

Something like that. :)

If you want it to use the move explosion, it actually wouldn't be that hard at all. Here's what you can do (this should probably be in pbEffectsAfterHit):

      if target.hasWorkingAbility(:ABILITYNAME) && isConst?(thismove.type,PBTypes,:FIRE)
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} exploded!",target.pbThis))
        target.pbUseMoveSimple(PBMoves::EXPLOSION)
      end

This is for v17.2 (shouldn't be too different in v18 because pbUseMoveSimple exists there too), but let me know if you need more help or it's not working.

Thanks for the help, i will try with these two scripts, by the way, I'm too clumsy to figure out where I should put it to work properly, PokeBattle Battle or Move? I'll let you know when it's fully operational! I tried above of Aftermath and below, but no triggered. My Essentials is 17 (in Theory).

If you put it directly under Aftermath, it will only work with contact moves, so I would recommend instead putting it under Cursed Body or something.
