[v17] Adding new moves in FieldMoves

[Rinkoou]

Hi, I'm trying to add different moves that can cut trees, but it doesn't seem to work. In the Cut section of PField_FieldMoves I've tried stuff like this:

def Kernel.pbCut
  move = getID(PBMoves,:CUT,:SLASH,:LEAFBLADE,:NIGHTSLASH)
  movefinder = Kernel.pbCheckMove(move)
  if !pbCheckHiddenMoveBadge(BADGEFORCUT,false) || (!$DEBUG && !movefinder)
    Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("A thorny tree blocks your way."))
    return false
  end

and copied

,:SLASH,:LEAFBLADE,:NIGHTSLASH

behind every instense of

:CUT

in this section, but it ends up crashing immediatly. Can someone help?

Have a look at this tutorial. It explains it very well and it works too. Tried it myself

The reason it crashes, is because getID only accepts 2 arguments, the Constant module to use (in this case, PBMoves) and the constant to check, which is usually a symbol. All getID does is change the symbol into a numerical constant. It does no other checks.

The tutorial that Ego13 posted shows the correct applications to implement this, so I won't discuss this further.

Thank you both so much! It originally didn't work for me, resulting in me posting about this issue, but I later found out I misplaced it.

not to necropost, but I want to do this exact thing, and that tutorial link is dead, and there are no other posts about this, presumably because it was answered once upon a time, is there a chance it was saved somewhere else?

Though it usually really isn't a good idea to revive an old thread, but in this case I think it's fine.
