[Other Question] Some questions and help regarding the dynamax plugin

[Shashu-Greninja]

Hi PokeCommunity, I recently installed the dynamax plugin in my project, but i have some questions:
1. After dynamaxing/ gigantamaxing a pokemon when I check the dynamaxed pokemon's summary, the pokemon's icon stays a little longer than usual. Means suppose i gigantamax my pikachu, then in-battle when I check its summary
from the partuy screen the gigantamax pikachu's icon stays a little longer and then the summary page opens. Is there any way to fix it?
2. Is any changes made to the battle ui in the dynamax/ raid event plugin? Because after adding the dynamax plugin my custom battle ui gets messed up, mainly the databoxes.
3. How do I change the sprite positions of the dynamax sprites? Can it changed through the sprite position editor in the debug menu?
And thats it.... I will be oblidged if anyone helps me out with this. Thanks in Advance :)

Hi,

1. Find the function pbDynamaxColor:
   

   def pbDynamaxColor

   and replace its code with:
   

     def pbDynamaxColor
       if DYNAMAX_COLOR
         if @pokemon.dynamax?
           alpha_div = (1.0 - self.color.alpha.to_f / 255.0)
           r_base = 217
           g_base = 29
           b_base = 71
           if @pokemon.isSpecies?(:CALYREX)
             r_base = 56
             g_base = 160
             b_base = 193
           end 
           r = (r_base.to_f * alpha_div).floor
           g = (g_base.to_f * alpha_div).floor 
           b = (b_base.to_f * alpha_div).floor 
           a = 128 + self.color.alpha / 2
           @pkmnsprite.color = Color.new(r,g,b,a)
         else
           @pkmnsprite.color = self.color
         end
       end
     end

   What you noticed is that pbDynamaxColor always rewrites the sprite color, even when the sprite is supposed to fade in/fade out.
   
2. Yes, because the Max Raid battles use a different set up. Maybe you can try to merge your custom battle script + the Max Raid scripts by checking the switch $game_switches[MAXRAID_SWITCH].
   
3. Dynamax sprites have the same position than the usual sprites, as far as I can tell. Gigantamax sprites will have their own positioning in a future update of the plugin. (PS: DO NOT ASK when the new update will be released; it will be released when it is ready.)

Thanks my first issue is fixed.
Can you please explain how to merge the battle uis. I didn't get it.
After my battle ui is fixed I will send you what problems I am facing with the sprite position.

For the Battle UI.
EDIT: DON'T DO THIS if either of the two conflicting functions uses an "alias".
You have two conflicting scripts. I don't know which ones, but let's say you have script 1, that defines class A, with function func(). And you have script 2, that redefines class A, by rewriting the function func(), like this:

Spoiler:

# Script 1 - I assume it's the Max Raid Script
class ClassA
  def func()
    # Some code.
  end 
end 

# Script 2
class ClassA
  def func()
    # Some NEW code. 
  end 
end

Go to script 1, rename the function to func1(), and go to script 2, rename the function to func2(). Finally, add a new function func() (the old name of the two conflicting functions) and use the switch to decide which function, between func1() and func2(), you should use.

Spoiler:

# Script 1 - I assume it's the Max Raid script
class ClassA
  def func1()
    # Some code.
  end 
end 

# Script 2
class ClassA
  def func2()
    # Some NEW code. 
  end 
  def func()
    if $game_switches[MAXRAID_SWITCH]
      return func1() # The one from the max raid script
    else 
      return func2()
    end
  end 
end

It's a quick fix but it should work.

You should have told me the problems with your sprites, I would have replied in the same message -__-

Oh sorry for the incovenience caused. For now i am sending the pictures with the original essentials battle ui:-
The dynamax sprite positions are perfect but when i gigantamax the sprite position is like:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zr5vH2_CdU-GBGwrmCcFadZGYBf6-q7c/view?usp=sharing
But this is not the case with Charizard gigantamax sprite:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fw_P2tt1P-qFFskt3apRiPtQxW6Cw6gi/view?usp=sharing
And ya i have disabled the enlarged sprite option.
+I use the gen 8 project so the base pokemon sprites positions are according to that.

Also some G-Max move definations are not fitting in the summary screen.

I don't want to dig into it at the moment, because as I said, this problem will be solved in the future release of the Dynamax plugin, in which you can control the Gigantamax sprite positions.

Also some G-Max move definations are not fitting in the summary screen.

This is a common problem that some usual moves also have ^^"
