[Essentials Tutorial] Overworld wild Pokémon that battle you

[Zeak6464]

How to make Pokemon follow you & battle you

Step 1 :

Step 2:
Wait can be any # that you want for the Re-Spawn

Step 3:

Now there probably is an easier way to do this or someone already has done this.​

 

[Nickalooose]

You don't need step 3 and no there isn't a better way to do this, so there's no "easier" way.

But nice tutorial still.

The event will walk/look much better if you put speed at Slow, and Freq at Highest.
This will keep the event moving across the screen, instead of its current one tile at a time.

Now that you see how it works, you can change speeds to whichever you desire,
but I would recommend staying between Slower, Slow, and Fast for the best results.

 

[Bowlstir]

I'd suggest making some text for people to copy and paste to save a little time.

And I'd advise that you make the corrections mentioned by the two above.

Other than that, thanks for the tutorial.

huh treating them like MMO mobs with a set respawn cooldown. I'm wondering if you can insert a radomizer in the wait time

EDIT: you can!

Instead of the wait command, in a script command

@wait_count = rand(min..max)

 

[Uzagi]

Thank you.
I made a few modifications to the script to better adjust the respawn since the wait time max is only 900 frames or so.
The main purpose is to give them a minute based respawn for more rare pokemon.
Here's what I've done.

1- put the "pbSetEventTime(x)" (where x=event id, could be 1 or more events)

2- page 2 stays the same, and page 3 has the following configuration ;
a variable "s:cooledDown?(x)" - where "x" is the seconds of the time you want the event to cool down ; the variable you can create yourself
and the following commands in the event configuration

I'm wondering if someone would know a way to randomize the pokemon level...

Thank you.

Inside your 'PField_EncounterModifiers':

Spoiler:

# Used in the random dungeon map.  Makes the levels of all wild Pokémon in that
# map depend on the levels of Pokémon in the player's party.
# This is a simple method, and can/should be modified to account for evolutions
# and other such details.  Of course, you don't HAVE to use this code.
Events.onWildPokemonCreate+=proc {|sender,e|
   pokemon=e[0]
   if $game_map.map_id==51
     newlevel=pbBalancedLevel($Trainer.party) - 4 + rand(5)   # For variety
     newlevel=1 if newlevel<1
     newlevel=PBExperience::MAXLEVEL if newlevel>PBExperience::MAXLEVEL
     pokemon.level=newlevel
     pokemon.calcStats
     pokemon.resetMoves
   end
}

actually i made a script per say that spawns random pokemon based on a variable

# Pokemon Species 
$game_variables[80]=rand(PBSpecies.maxValue)+1
# Map event that changes into Graphic of Pokemon
pbMoveRoute($game_map.events[3],[PBMoveRoute::Graphic,pbGet(80).to_s,0,2,0])
# Level of Pokemon
level = rand(20)
# Battle
pbWildBattle(PBSpecies::pbGet(80).to_i,level)

I want to do a pokemon event following me, after being defeated captured he will not appear on the map anymore, but if he is defeated or I leave the battle he will fly, can it be done?

the event is set to reappear after x frames

 

[Citycat17]

Can this be based off the encounters.txt at all? Like generating a few overworld Pokemon based from the text file randomly? Or would I have to make some kind of string of possibilities within the event?

hmmmmmm you may have to define a new variable that randomizes between the possible encounters at the given probabilities then have a conditional branch starting a wild battle for each value of that variable, but there may be a more efficient solution

so somethinglike like
$game_variables[id#]=rand(12)
Condtional Branch: $game_variables[id#]==0
pbWildBattle(:RATTATA,5)
else
Conditional Branch: $game_variables[id#]>0
pbWildBattle(:PIDGEY,5)
branch end

etc

 

[Citycat17]

Oh I see where you're going with that. Cool I might use this later. Play around with it a bit.

You have a period right before the bracket there.
