[Scripting Question] v21.1 | How to make form change update all the time?

[Rekkid]

I have a form change that could happen at any time even in the middle of battle. It seems like the "getForm" method only runs when you view the status screen of the pokemon? That combined with "getFormOnStartingBattle" makes the form accurate most of the time but when it happens mid battle it doesn't update until the battle ends and I then check the summary or start a new battle. Is there a way to update the form mid battle? Could I edit the "getForm" method so it could run whenever a move is used or at the end of each turn or whenever else I want? The form change occurs when a status is healed is that matters.

I figured out a solution. For anyone else trying to figure out how to update a form at any specified time do the following:

remove the line:

$game_temp.in_battle

from

def form
    return @forced_form if !@forced_form.nil?
    return @form if $game_temp.in_battle || $game_temp.in_storage
    calc_form = MultipleForms.call("getForm", self)
    self.form = calc_form if calc_form && calc_form != @form
    return @form
  end

then you can add the line

self.pbChangeForm(@pokemon.form, _INTL("{1} transformed!", self.pbThis))

to any method you want such as pbCureStatus, pbEndTurn, etc and it will properly update into the new form calculated by defining your form conditions in FormHandlers.
