Trainer Pokemon not attacking

kcgcrazy · Nov 19, 2014

hey, i noticed that some trainer pokemon dont attack, for example the only ones i have noticed is the bellsprout line. as soon as i use a move it just loops back to me again, i changed the pokemon to a charmander and it worked fine. is this a common problem? i am using v14

Because some of the moves doesn't have animations.

Shouldn't it just go to the default one then?

deadlyduel · Nov 20, 2014

That would be the case. somehow some moves still work even on the opponent side(can't recall what certain moves). but all move will work on player's side although some moves may get the same error because they have no animation.

kcgcrazy · Nov 20, 2014

its not thats they have no animation. they just dont attack at all. the opponent pokemon just wont attack. it will let me consecutively keep on attacking when the opponent pokemon is of the bellsprout line for some reason.

Usually when this happens it's because of how the it is processing a specific move. I don't think it's the pokemon itself, but some type of move that line learns. Figure out what moves it has, and you can narrow down what's causing it. I know it used to do this when your opponent had mirror move, but I think that was fixed. But I'd imagine the error is something of the same variety.

I have encountered a similar error while using Aerial Ace. I was using the Pokemon Staraptor, if it matters.

OK, so i looked i the pokemon pbs file and bellsprout will only learn vinewhip and growth before lvl 10. and in the trainers txt i made a bellspout that was lvl 10. when i dont assign it moves and it shoudl auto give it moves thats when it doesnt attack. I then tried giving only vinewhip and test it and it worked fine. then i gave it growth only and that worked fine. i dont really know how else to test this but this only seems to happen to this specific line for me. how can i see what the trainer pokemon moves are if the trainers txt only looks like this :

Code:

#-------------------
TEAMSATURN_F
Grunt
1
BELLSPROUT,10

when it looks like this it works fine

Code:

#-------------------
TEAMSATURN_F
Grunt
1
BELLSPROUT,10,,GROWTH,,,,0,0,,,,20

or 
#-------------------
TEAMSATURN_F
Grunt
1
BELLSPROUT,10,,VINEWHIP,,,,0,0,,,,20

In the debug menu set the internal flag on and then do your test battle agains the pokémon with the problem. Then post here the debug log (debuglog.txt) that is located on your project's data folder so we can see where the bug is.

JV that also fixed my problem thank you. :)

Tao · Nov 22, 2014

Same problem with the moves Bulk up (0x24) and Coil (0x25). change this

Code:

            if hasphysicalattack
              avg+=20
            elsif skill>=PBTrainerAI.highSkill
              avg-=90

to

Code:

            if hasphysicalattack
              score+=20
            elsif skill>=PBTrainerAI.highSkill
              score-=90

PS: works fine for me, not sure if it's correct.

kcgcrazy · Nov 22, 2014

thanks guys, i will try this out now

EDIT : works perfectly now. Thanks guys!

Yeah, there are plenty of little typos in the Pokebattle AI that triggers those bugs, however it's pretty easy to fix them if you use the Internal Flag correctly to identify them.

If only i knew how to do this lol, im a noob at scripting so for me its not as easy as it should be

oldsnake90 · Nov 24, 2014

Is anyone else having issues with Shuckle?

i made a battle with shuckle. and he uses double team then he stops attacking so i keep attacking shuckle with out giving shuckle a turn to attack.

mej71 · Nov 24, 2014

This thread is about the same topic. Set internal flag to true and you should be able to figure out what's causing it (likely something in the AI).
