[Scripting Question] Move PPs

[Gorgon234]

Does anyone know how to show the PPs of all the moves at the same time (all of the PPs appear on the screen) instead of only showing the PPs of the selected move.

 

[juliorain]

can you be a little more specific? It's hard to tell what you want from your question

 

[Gorgon234]

ok, ill try my best to explain it.
By default when you are choosing a move to attack it shows the PPs of the move you are selecting.
I want the PPs of the 4 moves to appear on the screen, not only the PPs from the move you're selecting.
Hope that was clearer.

Just my two cents here: why you need the pp be grouped like that? Unless is something like every move using the same amount of pp: tackle and growl together having 75 shared PP, there's no reason to group them together like this.

I don't see a reason to do it if it is just to make the player see the total PP he have left. The other 3 moves the player use are either 1 or 2 "clicks" from the first, it's not a huge amount of the time that the player wastes. I don't see myself having to check my PP that often when I play through a regular game either.

I ment this, you can see the PP of every attack without selecting them one by one.

Oh you mean this. Your best bet is to see how EBS works then (mind you, is not supported by the developer anymore).

In 'PokeBattle_Scene', inside 'class FightMenuButtons < BitmapSprite', search to 'def refresh(index,moves,megaButton,zButton,ultraButton)'.

Then, where appears:

      if moves[i].totalpp>0
        ppfraction=(4.0*moves[i].pp/moves[i].totalpp).ceil
        textpos.push([_INTL("PP: {1}/{2}",moves[i].pp,moves[i].totalpp),
           300,60+UPPERGAP,2,ppcolors[(4-ppfraction)*2],ppcolors[(4-ppfraction)*2+1]])
      end

you will put this:

      x2=[0,120,240,320][i] # change the positions
      y2=[13,48,48,13][i] # change the positions

above this:

      y+=UPPERGAP
      self.bitmap.blt(x,y,@buttonbitmap.bitmap,Rect.new(192,moves[i].type*46,192,46))

Finally, you will replace that code:

      if moves[i].totalpp>0
        ppfraction=(4.0*moves[i].pp/moves[i].totalpp).ceil
        textpos.push([_INTL("PP: {1}/{2}",moves[i].pp,moves[i].totalpp),
           300,60+UPPERGAP,2,ppcolors[(4-ppfraction)*2],ppcolors[(4-ppfraction)*2+1]])
      end

To:

      if moves[i].totalpp>0
        ppfraction=(4.0*moves[i].pp/moves[i].totalpp).ceil
        textpos.push([_INTL("PP: {1}/{2}",moves[i].pp,moves[i].totalpp),
           [COLOR="Red"]x2,y2[/COLOR],2,ppcolors[(4-ppfraction)*2],ppcolors[(4-ppfraction)*2+1]])
      end

Now, you must to edit its positions.
x= left side and right side
y = upside and downside

x>0 goes to the right side; x<0 goes to the left
y>0 goes to the downside; y<0 goes to the upside

thx a lot! it worked, is there a way to make it so the PPs of every move are always visible? and not only when you select them.

Read the code than i sent to you and check that part:

      y+=UPPERGAP
      self.bitmap.blt(x,y,@buttonbitmap.bitmap,Rect.new(192,moves[i].type*46,192,46))

Exist two of them: one to unselected move and other one when the move was selected.
