Pokemon Natural HM

[p.claydon]

is there a way to give an hm ability (not battle move) to a pokemon based on there species (eg scyther naturally being able to use cut outside battle, machamp being able to use strength outside battle)

PSystem_Utilities, around line 2845, add in the red lines.

# Checks whether any Pokémon in the party knows the given move, and returns
# the index of that Pokémon, or nil if no Pokémon has that move.
def pbCheckMove(move)
  move=getID(PBMoves,move)
  return nil if !move || move<=0
  for i in $Trainer.party
    next if i.isEgg?[COLOR="Red"]
    return i if isConst?(i.species,PBSpecies,:SCYTHER) && isConst?(move,PBMoves,:CUT)
    return i if isConst?(i.species,PBSpecies,:MACHAMP) && isConst?(move,PBMoves,:STRENGTH)[/COLOR]
    for j in i.moves
      return i if j.id==move
    end
  end
  return nil
end

Note that this will make it so that you can talk to HM triggers (trees for Cut, boulders for Strength), and the HM moves will work. This will not make them appear in the list of moves that you can use from the Party screen.

Is it possible to do something similar to this but instead have it use an item (ie an ax or something)?

A quick google search and you would've found this tutorial on the Pokémon Essentials Wiki.

I'd like to add this to my game as well, but this seems like a slow way to code it when there are dozens/hundreds of Pokémon that can learn a particular HM. Is there a way to modify this code so it'll check if the given Pokémon is in a text file (say, one that lists the internal names of all Pokémon that can use Cut)?

Such a list already exists: tm.txt. From there, it's simple to use def pbSpeciesCompatible?.

Oh, thank you for the link. I tried looking it up but I guess I wasn't using the right wording. (I know I'm supposed to quote who I'm replying to but I'm really new to forums and I'm not sure how to)
