[Other Question] Obstruct always fails in battle

[Pinkietron]

I don't know what is wrong with the move, but I didn't change anything about it.
When I was play-testing i noticed that obstruct would always fail, im not sure why.
This is what it looks like in moves.txt

68,OBSTRUCT,Obstruct,180,0,DARK,Status,100,10,0,NearOther,4,,"Protects the user from all attacks. Direct contact harshly lowers the attacker's Defense."

I assume you are on V19 with the Gen 8 plugin with your PBS looking like that. What do you mean by failing? Is it saying "But it failed."? Is it not blocking attacks? Is it giving you an error?
I just tested it and it worked fine, so we need some more context.

Sorry for not being clear, Its saying "but it failed". Obstruct works just like King's Shield, but instead dropping defense by 2 stages, no?

You need to look at your scripts for Obstruct. The PBS is fine, if its failing something is wrong with the script. It works fine if it hasn't been touched.

i think the issue here is that there is no move effect listed at value "180", it ends at 175 in 19.1. Though i may very well be wrong.

Wow, that WAS the issue. I just copied king's shield script and edited it to call obstruct now it works perfectly.
