[Scripting Question] Random starter

[AskipLudo]

Hello, I've watch a video on youtube about making random starter from script array everything is going great until taking the starter:

and the script:

So i don't know what's happening

The function "pbGrantRandomPokemon" is supposed to take an ARRAY of symbols, not a single symbol. Your script command is supposed to look like this:

pbGrantRandomPokemon(RANDOM_FIX, 5)

Taht's because of this :

It worked for the guy in his video :(

I actually had a random starter code in one of my test games.

def pbRandomStarter
  r = rand(898) #Make sure this number matches the amount of pokemon in your national dex.
  pbAddToParty(r + 1,5)
end

Edit:
If you want to control which Pokemon can be randomized, use this instead.

RANDOM_STARTER={1=>:BULBASAUR,2=>:CHARMANDER,3=>:SQUIRTLE,4=>:PIKACHU,5=>:EEVEE}
def pbRandomStarterPkmn
  r = rand(5) + 1
  pbAddToParty(RANDOM_STARTER.fetch(r),5)
end

You didn't follow his instructions correctly. You're not supposed to use "pbGetRandomPokemon" AND "pbGrantRandomPokemon" in the same event, because that is just redundant. What you actually need to do in your event is replace the line:

pbGrantRandomPokemon(pbGet(47), 5)

with:

pbAddPokemon(pbGet(47), 5)

Because the line with "pbGetRandomPokemon" is ALREADY generating the random Pokemon in the conditional branch above, so all you need to do is add it.
