[Scripting Question] Possible to make a type's attacks deal less damage depending on the user

[BlowDryGuy]

In my game I've added a new type, the Chaos-type.
This type is unique in that it is super effective against all types with a few exceptions.
I want to make it so pokemon that aren't Chaos-type will deal less damage when they use Chaos moves. Specifically, I would like non-chaos types to deal x1.3 super effective damage instead of x2 damage when using a Chaos move. How would I go about doing that?

Script Section PokeBattle_Move, in the function def pbCalcDamage( (which starts on line 571), find line 1036. It should read like this:

      typemod=pbTypeModMessages(type,attacker,opponent)

Add this directly below it:

      typemod=16.0 if isConst?(type,PBTypes,:CHAOS)
      typemod=10.4 if isConst?(type,PBTypes,:CHAOS) && !attacker.pbHasType?(:CHAOS)

A typemod of 8 means the attack is neutrally effective.
A typemod of 16 is standard super effectiveness.
8 multiplied by 1.3 is 10.4, so a typemod of 10.4 means that type effectiveness is 1.3


Note, however, that in this case, STAB mechanics would apply. A Chaos-type Pokemon (which would give the move a 2x effectiveness) would receive STAB on the Chaos-type move, whereas a non-Chaos type Pokemon (which would give the move a 1.3x effectiveness) would not. STAB is 1.5x damage output, or 2x damage output with the ability Adaptability.

This means that:
Chaos-type move used by Chaos-type Pokemon with Adaptability
2x * 2x (effectiveness * Adaptability STAB) = 4x damage

Chaos-type move used by Chaos-type Pokemon with some other ability
2x * 1.5x (effectiveness * STAB) = 3x damage

Chaos-type move used by non-Chaos-type Pokemon, with or without Adaptability
1.3x (effectiveness) = 1.3x damage

Do you want these moves to be that powerful? If not, might I suggest removing STAB mechanics from Chaos moves? This would be done by replacing line 1027, which reads:

    if attacker.pbHasType?(type) && (options&IGNOREPKMNTYPES)==0

with these two lines:

    if isConst?(type,PBTypes,:CHAOS)
    elsif attacker.pbHasType?(type) && (options&IGNOREPKMNTYPES)==0

Thanks a lot man.
As for removing STAB, another one of the type's gimmicks is that the moves/type is very powerful, but the moves have very low PP to compensate for it.
