I would like to add in a script to not allow a player to enter a gym if they have specific type of pokemon in their party. I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated. using 17.2 essentials.

Hi! Moved your thread here since ROM hacking areas are for help with ROM hacks; by the way, you posted in ROM Hacking Discussion, while ROM Hacking Help is the place to ask regarding ROM hacks. ;)

Thanks, I didn't want to assume and give you the wrong answer.
Here's a quick example of how you could do what you want to do: https://imgur.com/a/MP9sKjA

is there a specific conditional branch option i need to choose? I can't seem to emulate what you have in the picture.

When you select conditional branch go to the 4th page and select Script. Paste this:

pbHasType?(:FIRE) || pbHasType?(:WATER)

The rest should be easy to copy from ThatWelshOne_'s image.

Thanks for your help guys I have the npc doing what i want him to do now. How do i make sure that he repeats this action of checking the party? I don't want the player to be able to activate the switch then withdraw the pokemon afterwards.

I've thought about this now. I think the easiest thing to do would be to have an NPC in the gym that kicks the player out if they have one of the specified types. Here's how I was able to do it: https://imgur.com/a/VtUFmzS

Basically, if the player enters the gym with a Fire- or Water-type, the gym dude will kick them out (first image). Otherwise, the second image happens. You'll need to add what is highlighted in the third image into the gym door event. This script turns self-switch A off for the gym dude, allowing the type check to happen each time the player enters the gym. In this script, the 8 is the event ID of the gym dude (this might be different for you) and the 95 is the map ID (this would be the map ID of the gym for you). You'll need to change the map transfers as well to fit your game.

Let me know if anything doesn't make sense.
