Script: Mid battle dialogue for v20+

[grogro]

This is an upgraded version of Mid battle dialogue from Golisopod User for the newests versions of Essentials.
Download it here!
Simply paste what's inside the folder in the root folder of your game to install it.
if you need the v18 version, it's here. (only the last version, v21 here, is updated!)

If you are using Essentials Deluxe and its associated plugins, use their mid battle functionnalites instead of this one.
A limited SOS battle plugin is provided with this plugin. Remove it if you are already using the official one.

A bossprotect effect have been added in this script. If you already have custom effects, you should copy their initialization in the init_effect file (or the opposite).
It creates a mist and a safeguard effect +prevents OHKO and such things to happen.
I also removed the 255 cap in pokémon basestats to make huge bosses.

How it works

Making mid battle dialogue require two things: what you are doing and when you are doing it.

Conditions

Spoiler:

• "battleStart" => for changing the "X would like to battle!" text
• "turnStartX" => triggered at the start of turn X of the battle
• "turnEndX" => triggered at the end of turn X of the battle
• "randX" => triggered at the end of a turn with the chance of 1 in X
• "last" => triggered when player sends out their last battler
• "lastOpp" => triggered when opponent sends out their last battler
• "item" => triggered when player uses item
• "itemOpp" => triggered when opponent uses item
• "mega" => triggered when player Mega Evolves battler
• "megaopp" => triggered when opponent Mega Evolves battler
• "recall" => triggered when player recalls battler
• "recallOpp" => triggered when opponent recalls battler
• "lowHP" => triggered when player's battler HP reduced to below 25%
• "lowHPOpp" => triggered when opponent's battler HP reduced to below 25%
• "halfHP" => triggered when player's battler HP reduced to below 50%
• "halfHPOpp" => triggered when opponent's battler HP reduced to below 50%
• "highHP" => triggered when player's battler HP reduced to below 75%
• "highHPOpp" => triggered when opponent's battler HP reduced to below 75%
• "bigDamage" => triggered when player's battler receives over 60% damage from move
• "bigDamageOpp" => triggered when opponent's battler receives over 60% damage from move
• "smlDamage" => triggered when player's battler receives less than 30% damage from move
• "smlDamageOpp" => triggered when opponent's battler receives less than 30% damage from move
• "fainted" => triggered when player's battler faints
• "faintedOpp" => triggered when opponent's battler faints
• "attack" => triggered when player performs their 1st attack
• "attackOpp" => triggered when opponent performs their 1st attack attack
• "loss" => triggered when player loses battle
• "endspeech" => triggers when player wins Battle
• "sendoutX" => triggers when player sends out the Xth Pokemon in their party (doesn't apply for last member)
• "sendoutXOpp" => triggers when opponent sends out the Xth Pokemon in their party (doesn't apply for last member)

For each of these conditions, you can add a ,Z to denote the dialogue to play on the Zth instance of the condition. So you could do:
BattleScripting.set("recall","Whoa! Nice save!")
BattleScripting.set("recall,2","Whoa! Nice save again!")

Note: For the conditions,

"lowHP","lowHPOpp","halfHP","halfHPOpp","bigDamage","bigDamageOpp","smlDamage","smlDamageOpp","attack","attackOpp","superEff","superEffOpp","notEff","notEffOpp","fainted","faintedOpp
the Zth instance means the Zth Pokemon sent out. So bigDamageOpp,2 will play when the 2nd Pokemon in the opponents party is hit with an attack that takes it down 60% of it's HP.

Other features:

BattleScripting.setTrainerOrder([0,2,3,4,5,1])

gives the order in which the trainer will send his pokémons. It has to start by 0 (his first pokemon).
Please do not give u-turn to the pokemon when using this function, it's not made for that.
By default, v20 always sends the ace in last position, this code allows you to change that if you want.

Once you made your choice you need to add this command in the battle event before the fight like this:

Use extendtext.exe that is in your root folder to avoid synthax errors.
So here I'm executing the function Tdamage at the end of the first turn (yes the first turn is turn 0).
But we still need to define Tdamage.

Creating the scripts

Spoiler:

Open the data file inside the MBD plugin (a text editor like Notepad++ is required).
Every function should look like that:

 Tdamage= Proc.new{|battle|
      do what you want
}

If you want to have something proc x turn after your first action, do

  Init= Proc.new{|battle|
            do what you want the first time it's triggered
            BattleScripting.set("turnStart#{battle.turnCount+x}",Proc.new{|battle|
                    do what you want x turns after the trigger
            })
}

To have something happen every turn, use

  Init= Proc.new{|battle|
       for i in 0...50  #make the things below proc during 50 turns
            BattleScripting.set("turnStart#{battle.turnCount+i}",Proc.new{|battle|
                    do what you want
            })
       end
}

Warning! If you have 2 things happening at the same time, one of them won't trigger.
So if you always use TurnEnd as a time condition for your effects and you want something to trigger one turn after, make it happen at turnStart +2 instead to avoid the problem.

Effects examples
Here are the things you can put in the do what you want part in the section above.

Spoiler:

# For Opponent Sprite to Slide into Battle
battle.scene.pbShowOpponent(0,true) #0 is Index of Trainer. It can be 1 in a double battle if you want to show the 2nd Trainer. The "true" is if you want the Trainer to appear in front of their Pokemon
battle.scene.pbHideOpponent

# For changing Trainer Sprites. Works with any sprite in the Trainers Folder
TrainerDialogue.changeTrainerSprite("BEAUTY",battle.scene)

# For showing the SwSh styled animation for Dialogue

# Choices
cmd= battle.pbShowCommands("Tell me what you want!",["A pizza!","Cheese!","nothing."])
#cmd is the index of the choice you made, so 0 for a pizza, 1 for cheese...

 #raise (the opponent's) attack by 2 stages, the if part comes if you can reach the maximum

battle.battlers[0].pbLowerStatStage(:ATTACK,2,battle.battlers[0])#if battle.battlers[1].pbCanLowerStatStage?(:ATTACK)
#lower (your) attack by 2 stages. If you are using the boss protect effect (see below) don't put the if part or it won't do anything as you are shrouded by a mist.

#each other part is a battler. To force a move you need to input an array at the right place

Simply paste what's inside the folder in the root folder of your game to install it.

By that do you mean copy the folders in plugin into the plugin folder already there? The script seems to have what I need for the specific dialogue scenarios I want, but I mostly want these dialogue choices for the gym leaders, villainous admins, villainous leader, rivals, elite four, and champion, but I want to change the music for the Gym leaders when they're on their last Pokemon.

apologies for the delay, there are more things than code in the dowloaded folder, so pasting everything in the root folder ensures that it goes to the right place
