[Scripting Question] pbSetSeen/Owned

[Tsuina]

Hello everyone,

I would like to use another dynamic for collection in my game. Let's say in addition to the capture of wild pokemons it would be possible to collect informations about trees.

I think the easiest way is to add a regional pokedex which has only trees in it and add trees in the pokemon.txt file but then I need to understand how to add info to this pokedex without fighting trees.

I found the pbSetSeen/Owned functions but they never work...

How can I use them in an event to add the seen/owned data to the new dex?
I tried them with existing pokes like pbSetSeen(RAICHU) but they say unitialized constant...

Many thanks in advance!

I don't know about the rest of your question, but I think you want pbSetSeen(:RAICHU) (note there's a colon—i.e. :—in front of the Pokémon name).

Hey,

Thanks for your answer but I tried many different syntax and I always get this.

It's not pbSetSeen, that's for battle scripts only. Use this instead (and replace TREESPECIES with whatever tree species you need):

$Trainer.seen[:TREESPECIES]=true

Thank you for your answer.

Now I have this error ^^

Oh I see, try this instead:

$Trainer.seen[getConst(PBSpecies, :TREESPECIES)]=true

Hey, it works perfectly thanks! I managed to do it as well by using the number
$Trainer.seen[900]=true
which might be easier :)

I'm now facing a new problem. I created a new pokedex both in debug (edit regional dexes) and in the setting script. I added a new region map, footprints for my trees (pictures of leaves) a cry and everything i could think of.

However each time i click on a tree in the dex I have this error:



Do you have any idea where it comes from?
Also why is it necessary to create a new game to make new dexes work?

Sorry I have so many questions :D

Edit: I tried a lot of different things and it looks like the method of adding a pokemon as owned (for seen it works) is creating a bug with checking its data in the pokedex. When the pokemon is given to the player afterward the pokedex appears perfectly

Edit2: indeed when I use pbAddPokemonSilent(:TREE,20) and directly after pbRemovePokemonAt(index). The pokedex works. Though i don't know how to look for a pokemon in the computer and delete it so it won"t work later in the game... Any ideas?

Edit3: last idea I had:
Still has the problem of interfering with other daycare pokes, I think I'll try to copy the daycare script and change the names of the copy so I can have the same system but for other purposes like this one
