[Custom Feature Question] New weather: Windy weather

[DarkFoxVerdigris]

Hello people, I'm very new to programming so I wanted some help with programming a new weather I'm planning to add to my game. It is the windy weather, which:
- makes powder-based moves ineffective
- powers up wind-based moves (I already created the flag) by 50%
And also I wanted to add a feature for hail to make it boost Ice types physical defence by 50%, but I was perplexed because when I checked the Sandstorm code to see if I could rip it I saw that the code doesn't specify special defence when increasing Rock types stats.

Sorry if they're dumb questions and thanks in advance for anybody who decides to help ^^

shouldn't be too hard to code in.

since hail thing is seperate, i can show you that, atleast in 16.2 there is a bit in PokeBattle_Move about sandstorms defense boost

    if @battle.pbWeather==PBWeather::SANDSTORM &&
       opponent.pbHasType?(:ROCK) && applysandstorm
      defense=(defense*1.5).round
    end

you'll probably have to check where "applysandstorm" appears and make a replica for hail.

for the second one i wont focus on the weather setup (so how long it lasts, caused by an ability, or with a rock/move blah blah) but the effect. specifically.

head to pokebattle_Battler and find soundproof:

if !user.hasMoldBreaker && target.hasWorkingAbility(:SOUNDPROOF) &&
       thismove.isSoundBased? &&
       thismove.function!=0xE5 &&   # Perish Song handled elsewhere
       thismove.function!=0x151     # Parting Shot handled elsewhere
      PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{target.pbThis}'s Soundproof blocked #{user.pbThis(true)}'s #{thismove.name}")
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s {2} blocks {3}!",target.pbThis,
         PBAbilities.getName(target.ability),thismove.name))
      return false
    end

Just make a replica for the weather like this:

if !user.hasMoldBreaker && @battle.weather==PBWeather::WIND &&
       thismove.isPowderMove? 
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The weather blocks {1}!",thismove.name))
      return false
    end

for wind moves its not much harder, never specified the flag so going to say its "def isWindMove?"

And find analytic and toxic boost in pokebattle_move (mentions damagemult) then add this:

    if @battle.pbWeather==PBWeather::WIND && isWindMove?
      damagemult=(damagemult*1.5).round
    end

Hopefully thats all right, not 100% sure but should be.

Thank you very much, it works :))
(I have no way of actually testing the hail thing yet but it's not giving me any errors and I switched SPDEF with DEFENSE so it should be good)
