Question over certain moves.

[ActionReplayer]

Ok, so, I've been editing essentials in hope of updating things as to the way they are in the sixth gen. For example:
I've changed the base stats of the pokemon that have had their base stats increased https://www.serebii.net/xy/updatedstats.shtml
I changed to fairy type all pre-gen6 pokemon known to have become fairy-type (such as granbull and azumarill) https://www.serebii.net/xy/fairytype.shtml.

I have yet to update the movesets of the pokemon, but given that i haven't created the new moves yet, that would be an exercise in futility. Anyway, I was also updating the moves, changing PP, Base Power, Accuracy and Type as appropriate, but I got stumped on two moves:

Fury Cutter: It's base power has doubled, to 40, however it's max power by it's own eff still should be 160. If i just update the base power without editing scripts, will the max basepower still be 160 or do i have to edit the scripts? Looking at the move's function code in PokeBattle_MoveEffects didn't tell me much, but if I need to edit the scripts, what script would it be?

Hidden Power: It now has a fixed 60 base power. How would I go about removing the part where the script calculates it's Base Power? I saw the script, but given that i'm not very good at scripting i was afraid of accidentally deleting an important line there. There is no need to change the type formula though: it's the same as in gen5, meaning Fairy Hidden Power is impossible.

EDIT: One more question now: I recently learned that the move Knock Off has gained an additional effect it didn't have before: in addition to an increase in Base Power and PP, it's damage is now multiplied by 1.5 if the opponent is holding an item. How would I go about adding this effect?

For Hidden Power, delete this:

base|=(iv[PBStats::HP]&2)>>1
  base|=(iv[PBStats::ATTACK]&2)
  base|=(iv[PBStats::DEFENSE]&2)<<1
  base|=(iv[PBStats::SPEED]&2)<<2
  base|=(iv[PBStats::SPATK]&2)<<3
  base|=(iv[PBStats::SPDEF]&2)<<4

and this

powermin=30
  powermax=70

Then change this:

  base=(base*(powermax-powermin)/63).floor+powermin

to this

  base=60

And then change its definition in moves.txt to

333,HIDDENPOWER,Hidden Power,090,60,NORMAL,Special,100,15,0,00,0,bef,Smart,A unique attack that varies in type depending on the Pokémon using it.

In the end, the class should look like this:

class PokeBattle_Move_090 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbType(type,attacker,opponent)
    hp=pbHiddenPower(attacker.iv)
    return hp[0]
  end

  def pbBaseDamage(basedmg,attacker,opponent)
    hp=pbHiddenPower(attacker.iv)
    return hp[1]
  end
end

def pbHiddenPower(iv)
  type=0; base=0
  types=[]
  for i in 0..PBTypes.maxValue
    types.push(i) if !PBTypes.isPseudoType?(i) &&
                     !isConst?(i,PBTypes,:NORMAL) && !isConst?(i,PBTypes,:SHADOW)
  end
  type|=(iv[PBStats::HP]&1)
  type|=(iv[PBStats::ATTACK]&1)<<1
  type|=(iv[PBStats::DEFENSE]&1)<<2
  type|=(iv[PBStats::SPEED]&1)<<3
  type|=(iv[PBStats::SPATK]&1)<<4
  type|=(iv[PBStats::SPDEF]&1)<<5
  type=(type*(types.length-1)/63).floor
  hptype=types[type]
  base=60
  return [hptype,base]
end

I'm not very experienced in Ruby, so I can't help you on Fury Cuter, though.

For Hidden Power, you can just delete the def pbBaseDamage and make sure it's defined in moves.txt to have a base power of 60 rather than 1.

Fury Cutter counts how many times it can double the damage (up to 4-1 times). In PokeBattle_Battler, around line 1925, is the line which increases the count. Change the 4 in that line to a 3.

Try to add the method below to the class. Untested.

def pbBaseDamage(basedmg,attacker,opponent)
  return opponent.item(true)==0 ? basedmg : basedmg*3/2
end

Oops. I should've edited this thread: Maruno had already answered this question through PM.
