[Scripting Question] Move Effects (0DD, 007)

[Reiwu]

So uhm, I've been working and researching but I seriously can't figure this one out. I want a move that will drain health and paralyze, I just can't get the syntax right and I sorta scrapped what I had because I messed up majorly, how should I go about doing this?

Hmm... What did you try writing? I imagine you must have been pretty close.

I was way off. I tried putting the move under both function codes and adding the effect of the other and it just doesn't work that way so I tried writing an entirely new function code but still didn't know how to make it paralyze.

 

[mgriffin]

Well the code to paralyze is very roughly three lines long (but you'll need to look up exactly how it goes, because I don't have the code to hand):

if opponent.pbCanParalyze?(attacker)
  opponent.pbParalyze(attacker)
end

So you'd just stick that in your pbEffect code before the return (possibly inside the if that checks if some damage was done, if you prefer).

then do you think this will work?

In principle I would have expected that to work, so go look at how pbCanParalyze? (and probably pbParalyze too) is used in the script section you're in and I'm sure you can work out what I got wrong about the things inside the parentheses.
