[Scripting Question] Need help with creating abilities

[DarkBlueInferno]

Hello, I'm new to scripting and I've been trying to create a new ability, but i keep hitting a wall. Can someone explain to me how I would add a move like levitate, but for immunity to fairy types? I've already entered the ability in the abilities.txt and I've tried looking at other threads and mimicking the scripting, but nothing is working.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried searching the code for :LEVITATE ? I'm fairly confident that the code nearby one of the occurrences will mention :GROUND, and that's the one I'd expect you to base your new ability on.

Yes, that's exactly what i did. I tried to mimic what was there but when i launched the game, I got a syntax error and nothing else

 

[mgriffin]

Well a syntax error means that your Ruby is malformed. Perhaps you forgot an end or are missing a closing ). It's impossible to know unless you post the code that you wrote (and preferably a couple of the lines before and after).

Good point, I read somewhere else that it would go above the wonder guard script, but i wasn't sure which was the start of the script so here is where i put it: (above the mentioning of wonder guard and after the end of the scripts relating to the levitate script)

if target.effects[PBEffects::Telekinesis]>0
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} makes Ground moves miss with Telekinesis!",target.pbThis))
return false
end
end
if isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FAIRY) && !target.hasWorkingItem(:RINGTARGET)
if !user.hasMoldBreaker && (target.hasWorkingAbility(:OBLIVION))
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} makes FAIRY moves miss with OBLIVION!",target.pbThis,PBAbilities.getName(target.ability)))
return false
end
end
#### KUROTSUNE - 029 - START
if target.hasWorkingAbility(:WONDERGUARD) &&
typemod<=4 &&
type>=0 &&
!(target.moldbroken)
#### KUROTSUNE - 029 - END
@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} avoided damage with Wonder Guard!",target.pbThis))
return false
end
