[Scripting Question] Need Script suggestions for custom moves

[tyranitar28]

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've gotten really involved with Fan game development. I'm not too deep into it, I'm mostly into just modification of what's already there, but I do want to add a couple moves that I haven't been able to figure out how to script. So if anyone can help me script these moves, I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's the list of moves and the effects I want to add (so far):

Love Slap-

Basically, a Fairy type attack that does damage but also has the effect of the move Attract

Hydro Aerobics-

This ones a little more complicated. This move does Water & Flying type damage and has a 30% chance of raising the user's Speed.

Prodder-

Steel type attack that does damage and lowers Defense and Special Defense 100% of the time

Healing Drench-

Another complicated one. This attack does damage but gives the opponent the effect of leftovers, which is healing HP every turn after it is used.

I know a couple of these moves might be a little complex to script, but I would appreciate any advice/help/suggestions that anybody can offer.

I'm looking forward to it :-)

For Love Slap, what is the probability of the attraction occurring (assuming the conditions are right)? For Hydro Aerobics, you can use the function code for increasing Speed by 1 (0x01F) and some modification is needed to PokeBattle_Move, def pbTypeModifier for both it and Flying Press' dual-type nature. Healing Drench will require you to create a new PBEffect, add the effect wherever it checks for the Aqua Ring effect so it checks for Aqua Ring or the new effect and copy the Aqua Ring code to a new move function and modify it as follows:

[COLOR="Red"]class PokeBattle_Move_nnn < PokeBattle_Move[/COLOR]
  def isHealingMove?
    return true
  end

  def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
    [COLOR="red"]ret=super(attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
    if opponent.effects[PBEffects::HealingDrench][/COLOR]
      [s]@battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))[/s]
      [COLOR="red"]return ret[/COLOR]
    end
    [COLOR="red"]pbShowAnimation(@id,opponent,nil,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
    opponent.effects[PBEffects::HealingDrench]=true
    @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} surrounded itself with a veil of water!",opponent.pbThis))
    return ret[/color]
  end
end

Modify the pbDisplay message if you want.
