Script: [v13+] Pokémon Selection (similar to Stadium/Battle Tower)

Hello! I'm struggling a bit with the script.
I want to make an event where:
-The player can only choose 1 Pokémon
-The Pokémons Height needs to be 6 or less
-Player can cancel the choosing
I was able to do the first two alone, but the issue is if the player doesnt have a mon that fits the criteria theres an error, and I dont seem to understand how to use the ValidTeam? thing.
Can someone show me in an event how I would do this?
Thank you a lot!

Since defining PokemonSelection::Parameters is a multiline task, you need to put the param bulding into a method if you want to use it on PokemonSelection.hasValidTeam?. So, add the below method above main:

Code: 
def getSingleHeightParam
  ret = PokemonSelection::Parameters.new
  ret.minPokemon = 1
  ret.maxPokemon = 1
  ret.baseChallenge = PokemonChallengeRules.new 
  ret.baseChallenge.addPokemonRule(HeightRestriction.new(6))
  return ret
end

At the event, do this:
Code: 
@> Conditional Branch: Script: PokemonSelection.hasValidTeam?(getSingleHeightParam)
 @>PokemonSelection.choose(getSingleHeightParam)
 (Things after selection) 
: Else
 (Things when player has invalid party) 
: Branch End
 
Hello, I'm trying to make my own rules ( the plugin looks like it works with v20) but I have one problem. if I chose ret.minPokemon = 1 and
ret.maxPokemon = 6 in my parameters, the event will reject my entire team if only one pokémon is invalid, instead of allowing me to go to the selection screen to select less than 6 pokémons. If there a way to make it work like intended? Or should I just make a test screen with min and max =1 to let the player know what's wrong?

On an event, do a script conditional branch with 'PokemonSelection.hasValidTeam?' (use the same arguments as PokemonSelection.choose). If you use the PokemonSelection::Parameters, do a method (I explain at the above post).
 
Ok it looks like I wasn't clear enough, sorry. I followed your examples and I don't think the problem comes from here. My rules are something like this

def natdexban(max)
ret = PokemonSelection::Parameters.new
ret.minPokemon = 1
ret.maxPokemon = max
ret.canCancel = true
ret.baseChallenge = PokemonChallengeRules.new
ret.baseChallenge.addTeamRule(SpeciesClause.new)
... (I won't flood the post with a sea of rules)
end

So in my test situation 3 of the 6 pokémons of my team are banned in the rules.
If in my event, I followed your example above.
My problem is simple:

1) If I use max=6, it says invalid team even if I could go there with only 1 pokémon.

2) But if I call it with max=1 everything works correctly (except that obviously I can chose only 1 pkmn).

So my question was: is there a way to have it make me go to the selection screen in the first situation or should I just make a test event with situation 2 to make the player know what's wrong.

My bad.

I can't reproduce your issue. I tried, with initial Essentials party:

Code: 
def getSmallHeightParam
  ret = PokemonSelection::Parameters.new
  ret.minPokemon = 1
  ret.maxPokemon = 6
  ret.baseChallenge = PokemonChallengeRules.new 
  ret.baseChallenge.addPokemonRule(HeightRestriction.new(1))
  return ret
end

And worked as intended (on v19.1, at least).

Can you post a set of rules, so I can reproduce the issue?
 
After some testing it looks like the problem comes from
ret.baseChallenge.addTeamRule(SpeciesClause.new)
ret.baseChallenge.addTeamRule(ItemClause.new)

and ofc I have different items and pokémons in my test team


It looks like it's not even checking anything in my test situation 1 (I added a print in the clause class and nothing comes if max=6 but works normally with max=1, weird)

def bob(max)
ret = PokemonSelection::Parameters.new
ret.minPokemon = 1
ret.maxPokemon = max
ret.canCancel = true
ret.baseChallenge = PokemonChallengeRules.new
ret.baseChallenge.addTeamRule(SpeciesClause.new)
ret.baseChallenge.addTeamRule(ItemClause.new)
ret.baseChallenge.addPokemonRule(BannedSpeciesRestriction.new(:PIKACHU))
return ret
end

I used this for testing

Looks like an issue when defining both team rules and pokemon rules.

On my script, change 'pbEachCombination(team,teamNumber){|comb|' to 'pbEachCombination(team,self.minLength){|comb|'.

I updated the script.

Weird then I will retry again xD

So I don't know if it's because of Pokemon Following

In ruby, you can only break lines in certain parts, like before a dot. So, paste:

Code: 
PokemonSelection.choose(
PokemonSelection::Parameters
.new
.setMinPokemon(1)
.setMaxPokemon(1))

Alternatively, run extendtext.ext before opening the text dialog.
 
You need to restore your previous team. call PokemonSelection.restore after the battle
 
Hi, just wanted to report something I found while using this script on Pokémon Essentials v19.1. The selection and party changing related works fine when opening the game the first time, but then if I soft reset using F12, the selection still works, but the party is unchanged from the original party. But then if I close the game and reopen it, the party changing works again.
 
Hi, I would appreciate any help from anyone who see's this...
I am using essentials version 19.1, I have used a ton of Plugins before and made many changes to scripts,
had issues in the past but I have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what is going on with yours...
All I did was follow the instructions, I copied your code into the the script editor above the "main",
I tried downloading and putting your script into the plugins folder... I have no idea how to make this script work,
most scripts you just put a folder into plugins, copy some scripts into the editor and maybe add pictures and it works perfectly.
I have been trying for well over 13 hours the last 3 days trying to get this to work and I am dumbfounded and lost.

This is the exact copy of my error text and the ONLY thing I did was add this script in above the "main" section like I normally would and like the directions specified...
