[Scripting Question] Pokemon Essentials Z Moves

[Soccersam]

So I got Amethyst's Z Move Addon Pack for my Essentials game. It was said that in the scripts we have to change the MEGARING to the ZRING, which I did, before adding a ZRING in my items.txt, icons and all.


Then I got to playtesting, gave my Pikachu a Pikanium Z, gave myself a Z Ring, and went to battle. When the battle started, there was the usual Z icon on top; I pressed Z and then I had to select a move (Volt Tackle is the one for Pikanium Z). But when I did, it just told me this-


this move isn't compatible with !


You read that right. There is nothing after that with and before that exclamation mark. The same went for Electrium Z and Pikashunium Z, no matter what I did, whether I used it on Pikachu, gave it to Pikachu, or whatnot. I got the same result over and over again.


Can anyone help me?

Basically Z-moves evolves a move into a more powerful move. Maybe your Pikachu has no Electric type move or the move required to use Pikanium Z. Try using Normalium Z on it!

Okay, so I did as you said, and it does work, but what confuses me is that when I had an Electrium Z with Pikachu, it did know how to use electric moves- Thundershock and Electro Ball (through debug), but it still didn't work.

Also, after I use every move in a battle, I get this error, and then my game resumes as usual. This happens after I use a move, any move, not just my Z Move.

Any ideas?

Okay, I've sort of managed to narrow down the problem. It doesn't matter if I have a Waterium Z or Electrium Z, the game keeps acting as if I have a Normalium Z.
If I have a WateriumZ in my bag, I can't use any water-type Z moves, but I can use normal-type Z moves. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Do I need to change something in the scripts?

didn't used Z-moves or added them in Essentials so no idea for it!
