strange learn move error

[desbrina]

For some reason when ever a pokemon tries to learn a move but has 4 already, the move its learning when displayed with the other 4 is always called comet punch

i.e.
Pikachu levels up, it tries to learn quick attack. The text at this point is correct ("pikachu would like to learn quick attack but already knows 4 moves")
Now when i say yes to forgetting a move, the move is listed as comet punch, but with the correct stats and description

Any idea where i can look to find why this is happening?

I would start with "would like to learn" in the scripts and look through the code, it should look, I assume, newattack.move something like that... I'm not sayin its anything like this btw... But if the new move being laernt is not the same as the old move forgotten, then it could be reason move 1 in the moves.txt... I'm not on RPGMaker at the minute so I can't check myself, an idea of where to start if you haven't already

Search for COMETPUNCH or 319.
Are you using the old version of moves.txt? If you are the Comet Punch is the index number 4. Search for 'moveobject.id' and look if you are giving this variable for 'PBMoves.getName' method.

its an old version I'm using

After comparing my version of essentials to the latest, i think i've found the problem.
In my version i have this line

textpos.push([PBMoves.getName(pokemon.moves.id),120,yPos,0,Color.new(00,00,00),Color.new(255,255,255)])

but in the latest version its
textpos.push([PBMoves.getName(moveobject.id),120,yPos,0,Color.new(00,00,00),Color.new(255,255,255)])

swapping to the new code seems to have sorted it


Now i just have to find out how to stop animated battlers from pausing when on a message window

Try using Graphics.update on the scene method that display the message.

i'm not sure how i'd go about it, the method seems to have a graphcis update in it already, assuming i have the right method, i may not.

This is the method that the windows eventually call

def pbDisplayMessage(msg,brief=false)
 pbWaitMessage
 pbRefresh
 pbShowWindow(MESSAGEBOX)
 cw=@sprites["messagewindow"]
 cw.text=msg
 i=0
 loop do
  pbGraphicsUpdate
  pbInputUpdate
  cw.update
  if i==60
   cw.text=""
   cw.visible=false
   return
  end
  if Input.trigger?(Input::C) || @abortable
   if cw.pausing?
    pbPlayDecisionSE() if !@abortable
    cw.resume
   end
  end
  if !cw.busy?
   if brief
    @briefmessage=true
    return
   end
   i+=1
  end
 end
end

Its only paused when you get the x used y messages for attacks and the likes, while selecting moves or doing nothing its fine

That's the message that displays during a battle... Use a graphics update in that

 

[desbrina]

do you mean do something like?
@briefmessage.Graphics.update
or
Graphics.update

or something completly different
The first way crashes, the second doesn't do anything

 

[Nickalooose]

Try using Graphics.update, directly under, pbRefresh.

Your method is different to mine for some reason, so I may of looked into this the wrong way.

 

[desbrina]

Ok. I'll try that in the morning. Just turned my pc off.

The reason they are different might be due to different essentials versions. I know mines quite old.

Edit:
nope, they still don't animate

 

[desbrina]

that change didn't make any difference. i wonder if its because the command window text is done differently to the rest
