[Scripting Question] Shadow-like Pokemon Alt Sprites Question

[juliorain]

Hey!

So I was looking at Vendily's example here here on how to base alt sprites given a new glitchiness. It is a new thing attached to a pokemon that has all sorts of wacky features. At any rate, I defined them like a shiny pokemon in PokeBattle_Battler as such:

  def isGlitchmon?
    return @glitchmon if @glitchmon!=nil
    glitx = @glitchnum
    return  glitx< GLITCHMONCHANCE*($Trainer.numbadges+1)
  end
  
    def makeGltichy
    @glitchmon=true
  end

    def makeNotGlitchy
    @glitchmon=false
  end

with

@glitchnum = rand(200)
@gltchmon = nil

defined in def intialize.


In PSystem_FileUtilities, here is the script. I've pasted the relevant script section within the spoiler.

Spoiler:

# Note: Returns an AnimatedBitmap, not a Bitmap
def pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies(pokemon,species,back=false)
  ret = nil
  if pokemon.egg?
    bitmapFileName = sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%segg_%d",getConstantName(PBSpecies,species),pokemon.form) rescue nil
    if !pbResolveBitmap(bitmapFileName)
      bitmapFileName = sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03degg_%d",species,pokemon.form)
      if !pbResolveBitmap(bitmapFileName)
        bitmapFileName = sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%segg",getConstantName(PBSpecies,species)) rescue nil
        if !pbResolveBitmap(bitmapFileName)
          bitmapFileName = sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03degg",species)

    ret = pbResolveBitmap(bitmapFileName)
    return ret if ret
  end
  return nil
end

I have a sprite 001_glitch, 001g, for testing and they all return the default one on a glitchy bulbasaur (they have a unique typing so it is easy to tell whether or not they're glitchmons)

Resolved!

Turns out I mixed up a few inputs! <3

could you make a tutorial on how to add this to a game? the info here isn't enough to make it fully work
