    You're posting off-topic. You should ask this question in the Pokémon Essentials thread. To answer your question, it's the same as a Pokémon Center healing script. You can use the player touch trigger if you actually mean that you want to touch it.

    Anyway, how's this project going? The only way I can think of the attacks being ripped perfectly is when D/P emulation is have been figured out, so you can rip the attacks straight from a ROM.

    @poccil: Thanks for the clarification. When I talked about the disabling of those moves I was referrring to wichus effects. Fly and Bounce were covered, but not the other moves. The edit to Arena Trap has now been put in.

    As far as the progress goes, I'm mainly concentrating on the new abilities at the moment. As mentioned previously I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment but I'm doing what I can. Snow Warning, Frisk & Ice Body are done. I'm planning to have Flower Gift & Bad Dreams done soon as well. Once I'm done for the night I'll update the first post. (Sorry, Unaware was already done by wichu. My bad.)

    First, thanks to LokiFerne for taking over while I was gone; I see that the project has garnered a lot of attention. As has already been mentioned, Loki's working on the hard parts (scripting, etc.) and I've been doing my best to take care of the boring stuff like editing the PMs. Any alpha and beta testing is greatly appreciated, as is any other help. Later!

    hi guys. sorry about the absence recently. It looks like I'm going to be away for a lot longer than I first thought. I'll still be working on the project, but my internet access will be severely restricted. I'm looking into mobile broadband but it's not really a cost I can manage at the moment. I'll keep updating as and when I can. Sorry about this folks...

    Those are mostly battle animations lol. I'd say it would be a huge task to implement battle animations and takes forever. I'm not sure if LokiFerne is gonna have battle animations in the project but I'd wish him good luck if he does...

    Eugh. If there's one thing I can't work with in the Essentials kit, it's the animation editor. It drives me round the bend. I won't be including the animations, but if anyone else wants to give it a go then feel free.

    All moves are now included, with the exception of Chatter. the abilities are coming along nicely, though I don't have a count on me at the moment. The items are still mainly there for Fling/Natural Gift, but I will get round to them. I've not head anything back from any of the testers, so i'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. I'm just hoping that none of them have run off with the half complete version.

    My next post should be sometime next week. By then I'll have moved home so my efforts can go back onto the project proper. Till then, buh bye!!

    Have a look at the newest version of Essentials, specifically the PokemonBattlePalace script and the new PokemonChatter script ;)
    You'll need to change the PokemonScreen script, too, as I don't think poccil added it to the field move list...

    Hey I could test them if you want. But otherwise damn this looks really promising I hope you guys finish and I hope you release them to the public. It would be very generous of you.

    Good luck on finishing.

    Hey, Loki. There's something wrong while testing. When the moves are copied to another Essentials project, the type matchups are reversed--what I meant is "Fire is weak to Grass". It gives me a headache when that happens. Another bug is that any move aside from Shadow Force can hit a foe using Protect. Can you tell me what I did wrong?

    Wow, I really appreciate the work putting into this. I've tried doing something similar to this but I know it was not the best and never would be.

    I'm glad there's finally a few public projects going on now to convert Pokemon Essentials to DP. It really needs it in some areas D:

    Wooah! This looks awesome! I've been trying to change most styles to D/P, but I haven't got enough time to really work at it.
    Especially the "--" when there's no move; I've been trying to edit that too, but with no result (thanks to my crappy scripting knowledge...)

    I'm keeping my eye on this!

    ShaggyTyphlosion: The types chart has been edited due to me using wichus scripts, it's just easier at the moment to stick with the project as is. As for the problem with Protect, I thought I'd noticed something with that. In PokeBattle_Battler: line 1195, change the code to read this

    if target.effects[PBEffects::Protect] && (thismove.flags&0x02)!=0

    That should fix that problem.

    Everyone else: Sorry about the lack of updates guys. As I said before I've got quite a lot going on at the moment... and not in a good way. I CAN tell you that I've sorted out, amongst other things, the Multitype ability. I know the first post hasn't been changed for an age, so when I have more time online I will get round to that. Again, sorry about the lengthy absence.
