Pokemon dropping items after battle

[aramant16]

I made this simple script to make wild pokemon drop the items they held.
HankMan and Nickalooose first discussed this subject in an old topic (I still can't post the link to the topic, but if you search for "Pokemon essentials dropping items" on Google you will find it) .

If a wild pokemon is holding an item when he is defeated, there is a 50% chance that he will drop it. The item is dropped right after the Exp Gain, as suggested by Nickalooose.
It won't work against another trainer (if you want to do so, you have to delete "!@opponent" in the function definition).

First, I added the highlited part at the end of PokeBattle_Battle:

    @scene.pbEndBattle(@decision)
    for i in @battlers
      i.pbResetForm
    end
    for i in $Trainer.party
      i.item=i.itemInitial
      i.itemInitial=i.itemRecycle=0
    end
    return @decision
  end
  
[S-HIGHLIGHT]### Wild pokemon drops item if defeated
  def pbDropItem (i)
    if rand(100)>50 && @battlers[i].item!=0 && !@opponent
      $PokemonBag.pbStoreItem(@battlers[i].item)
      pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} picked up {2} from the pokemon!", $Trainer.name, PBItems.getName(@battlers[i].item)))
      end
  end   [/S-HIGHLIGHT]
end

Then I put the function after the exp gain at the end of pbGainExp, but before the battler's data are deleted ("@battlers.participants=[]"). It's in the PokeBattle_Battle section, around line 1799.

                    # Finding all moves learned at this level
                    movelist=thispoke.getMoveList
                    for k in movelist
                      if k[0]==thispoke.level   # Learned a new move
                        pbLearnMove(j,k[1])
                      end
                    end
                  end
                end
              end
            end
          end
        end
        [S-HIGHLIGHT]pbDropItem (i)[/S-HIGHLIGHT]
        # Now clear the participants array
        @battlers[i].participants=[]
      end
    end
  end

This is actually one of the scripts i need for my game, awesome!

 

[Gexeys]

Awesome script, such a neat idea!
One question, rather than "Player picked up Item from the pokemon!" wouldn't it be better to say "Player picked up Item from the PokemonName"?
I've tried doing this myself but pokemon.name doesn't seem to work because I assume the Pokemon no longer exists because it has fainted.

It doesn't work because pokemon is not defined here. Use @battlers.name instead

 

[aramant16]

This way it should work:
[S-HIGHLIGHT]pbDisplayPaused(_INTL("{1} picked up {2} from {3}!",$Trainer.name,PBItems.getName(@battlers.item),@battlers.name))[/S-HIGHLIGHT]

"@battlers.name" should get you the species of the pokemon.

Hei Aramant i tried your script in v16 but i never got the items, do you have a solution?
