[Scripting Question] NPC Follow script problem

[Giratina Musics]

hello PokéCommunity,
I'm here with a question again.
I want a npc the follow me and not be able to fight (so I didn't put the pbaddpartner script) but I watched a tutorial from thundaga episode 43 but if I use that my npc just dissapears (my npc is a COOLTRAINER_F named Clara)
then I looked it up at the pokemon essentials wiki and it says that instead of: pbAddDependency(@event_id,"Clara",3) I should use: Kernel.pbAddDependency(@event_id,"Clara",3) but now I'm getting this error

I didn't watch Thundaga's videos (I will, I promise) but I'm pretty sure he uses v17.2 in his tutorials.
Your post is just a proof that this specific video is outdated, because the function now (in v18.1) takes only one argument:

def pbAddDependency(event)

I didn't test it, but I think that, everytime Thundaga calls pbAddDependency(), you should call this function instead:

def pbAddDependency2(eventID, eventName, commonEvent)

(with the same three arguments that you would use in the old pbAddDependency)

Try it and tell us if that works :)

he uses pbdependecy2 and I changed it to Kernal.pbAddDependacy(@event_id,"Clara",3) it doesn't give me the error anymore but I can't see her following me.
this command is in the same event as where the graphic of the npc is.

I don't want that she battles with me so I didn't add her as a trainer.
and thundage uses pbAddDependecy2()

Only give:

pbAddDependency2(eventID, eventName, commonEvent)

pbAddDependency2(eventID, eventName, commonEvent)
+There is a bug in Pokemon essentials v18.1 which makes the dependent events to disappear. It has been fixed in the GitHub version.

Which essentials version you use, if v18.1 don't give kernel, it's usage has been removed in essentiaols v18.1

 

[The cool Treecko]

just do what you were doing at first, don't do the addpartner script and use the normal pbadddependency it will work
it worked for me, i am not very good at explaining

 

[Giratina Musics]

I did that but I think I'm having that bug. Is there a way to get around that bug cause im scared if I download that githup version I lose all my progress and my sprites and trainers etc.

I mean... if you just make a backup of your project before trying to do anything to it, why would you be scared about losing your progress at all?

If you update your game to the GitHub version correctly, then you won't lose any progress at all. There is even a nice tutorial video on how to do so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QgylS7d3Ms&t=13s

Or, if you aren't feeling up to it, then you can fix this specific bug by making the same changes as made here (in PField_DependentEvents): https://github.com/Maruno17/pokemon-essentials/commit/bfec896b46ae2e34c467b3e357931edc2750ae5d
