[Scripting Question] [v18] How to make this work?

[HeroesFightingFear]

I want to make an ability that uses Physical Defense to deal damage with Physical attacks, and Special Defense to deal damage with Special attacks.
Any help would be appreciated, but you do not have to if you dont want to.

Ability
Offensive Armament - The Pokémon uses its Defenses to attack.

Easiest way I can think of is editing def pbGetAttackStats(user,target) to check if the user has the working ability (user.hasActiveAbility?(:OFFENSIVEARMAMENT)) and returning the defensive stats instead.

there's 2 pbGetAttackStats, as Foul Play also defines this method to use the target's stats against it. You can probably leave that one alone, since it has it's own, mostly unrelated gimmick.
But it would be the same deal there if you really wanted to.
