[Scripting Question] Setting Form during Evolution

[AxelTheLycanLuxio]

I've been attempting at this, but its pretty tough.

Anyway, about Rockruff, it evolves depending on the version and the time of day, but since I'm not doing versions, its just time of day. What happens when I do this in Essentials is that whenever it is nighttime, Rockruff does evolve into Lycanroc, it is the Midday form, not the midnight form, but after evolution, it goes to Midnight Form. Which leads to my main question:

Is there any way to set Lycanroc's form permanently during Rockruff's evolution?

My first thought would be to just have it evolve into two different pokemon, but then you've got to try and disguise that.

Yeah, that was also my first thought when I tried that, however, I also want to keep its National Pokedex Number. So that could retain a problem even if that did work..

In Pokemon_MultipleForms, make it so game checks if it's day or night and assigns a form for Lycanroc on creation depending on what it gets.

MultipleForms.register(:LYCANROC,{
"getFormOnCreation"=>proc{|pokemon|
   if PBDayNight.isNight? # I am not sure if this is the correct one
     next 1 # Midnight
   else
     next 0 # Midday
   end
},

The actual trick is to make two forms for Rockruff, and force those based on the time of day. The two forms can be identical, so the player doesn't know it's a thing. When Rockruff evolves into Lycanroc, it will stay in whichever form it's in at the time it evolves, and that's how you pull the evolution off.

MultipleForms.register(:ROCKRUFF,{
"getForm"=>proc{|pokemon|
   if PBDayNight.isNight? # I am not sure if this is the correct one
     next 1 # will evolve into Midnight
   else
     next 0 # will evolve into Midday
   end
}
})

Then add the differences between forms for Lycanroc normally.

My question is how to add dusk form

 

[James Davy]

In PField_Time locate this code:

# Returns true if it's the evening.
  def self.isEvening?(time=nil)
    time = pbGetTimeNow if !time
    return (time.hour>=[COLOR="Red"]18[/COLOR] && time.hour<20)
  end

Alter the above code in red and add this code immediately before:

# Returns true if it's dusk.
  def self.isDusk?(time=nil)
    time = pbGetTimeNow if !time
    return (time.hour==17)
  end

Alter Rot8er_ConeX's code to something like this:

MultipleForms.register(:ROCKRUFF,{
"getForm"=>proc{|pokemon|
   if PBDayNight.isNight? [COLOR="Red"]|| PBDayNight.isEvening?[/COLOR] # I am not sure if this is the correct one
     next 1 # will evolve into Midnight
   [COLOR="Red"]elsif PBDayNight.isDusk?
     if pokemon.hasAbility?(:OWNTEMPO)
       next 2 # will evolve into Dusk
     else
       next 0
     end[/COLOR]
   else
     next 0 # will evolve into Midday
   end
}
})

Officially only a Rockruff with the Own Tempo ability can evolve to the Dusk Form Lycanroc between 5pm and 6pm. If you want all Rockruff to evolve to Dusk Form Lycanroc at that time, change the Own Tempo if statement (from if to end) to next 2.

And how can I do that the starter (Rockruff) can't evolve into the midday or midnight form and evolve to dusk form in a moment of the history, with an event?

 

[James Davy]

For a starter Rockruff to always evolve into Dusk Lycanroc you can give it a new form that won't change depending on time. Lycanroc's form 3 will be a Dusk Form. The code for that is simply:

MultipleForms.register(:ROCKRUFF,{
"getForm"=>proc{|pokemon|
   [COLOR="Red"]next 3 if pokemon.form==3[/COLOR]
   if PBDayNight.isNight? || PBDayNight.isEvening?
     next 1 # will evolve into Midnight
   elsif PBDayNight.isDusk?
     next 2 # will evolve into Dusk
   else
     next 0 # will evolve into Midday
   end
}
})

Make sure the starter's form is set to 3 when you program the event that gives it to you.
