[Scripting Question] Removing 100 EV limit from vitamins

[princessyiris]

I'd like to make it so vitamins (HP Up, Protein, etc.) can increase stats above 100 EVs. I can't tell where this limit is implemented in the scripts, or how to remove it.

Have you tried searching (with Ctrl+Shift+F to look at all the script sections) for 100?

A good start is seeing what the vitamin code calls!

ItemHandlers::UseOnPokemon.add(:HPUP,proc{|item,pokemon,scene|
   if [B][U]pbRaiseEffortValues[/U][/B](pokemon,PBStats::HP)==0
     scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("It won't have any effect."))
     next false
   else
     scene.pbRefresh
     scene.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s HP increased.",pokemon.name))
     pokemon.changeHappiness("vitamin")
     next true
   end
})

this pbRaiseEffortValues looks promising, let's check that one out!
There's a couple of spots where 100 shows up there, so if you change all of them, that should do the trick!

Did a bunch of searches for things like "HPUP" and "vitamin" and never thought to search for 100. Problem solved. Thanks!

I know you've already found your answer, and I've already volunteered one but there's also pbJustRaiseEffortValues which only raises the EVs without checking the 100 limit. You do have to pass the amount of EVs gained, it doesn't have a default value like pbRaiseEffortValues.
