Script: Visible Overworld Wild Encounter

[Citycat17]

Thanks so much for the reply! I took a look at the animations I have and I don't even have the aggressive animation. So instead I tried to change the 7 to a 3 since 3 is an exclamation bubble, but now it shows nothing when a Pokémon comes after the player. Still testing to see if anything else works..

Update: got it to work, I just was not coming close enough. Thanks again for helping me 👍

Is there a way to make certain species non aggressive? For example, I have Metapod and Kakuna set to never move when they spawn, but they will still move if they happen to be aggressive.

I updated the aggressive encounters add-on. Now, it has an new parameter "ENC_EXCEPTIONS" in the settings section of the script, where you can add all the pokemon, that should never be aggressive. I haven't tested it. So let me know if it works. (Also make sure to transfer all your other changes in settings in the new version).

 

[Citycat17]

Awesome, thanks so much, I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Just tried it, but I got an error the moment the game tried to spawn a pokemon:

I removed that error. Please reinstall the aggressive encounters add-on from github. I think it works now. But let me know, since I haven't tested it.

The parameter is called "AGG_EXCEPTIONS" and not "ENC_EXCEPTIONS".

I still confuse how to set up Ditto encounters...

 

[Citycat17]

Thanks so much for fixing the error, works great now. At first a Metapod still followed the player, but I realized I had to turn the naughty nature follow feature off. Now it works perfectly.

I still confuse how to set up Ditto encounters...

1) Add the Visible Overworld Wild Encounters Plugin to your project.
2) Add the Ditto Transform Add-On to your project.
3) Set Ditto as an encounter on some map. Ditto will automatically have the appearance of some wild encounter on the map. If you want to modify the appearance of Ditto then do the following:
4) Open the file 001_add_on_ditto_transform.rb in your plugins folder and find the line

  TRANSFORMS = [                      # default
    [:DITTO],                         # means - Ditto will have any overworld appearence of encounters of the map where you are
    [:MEW, nil],                      #       - Mew will have overworld appearence of any random species
    [:SMEARGLE, :BULBASAUR, :PIDGEY]  #       - Smeargle will have the overworld sprite of one of the following pokemon, i.e. bulbasaur and pidgey.

and remove lines, add species names or do whatever your like. How it works, is written right below.

  # This parameter is used to change the overworld appearence of pokemon such as ditto.
  # The data is stored as an array of arrays. You can add your own arrays or change/remove the existing.
  # The first entry  - is the species that transforms its overworld appearence.
  # No more entries  - means the species have any overworld appearence of encounters of the map where the player is.
  # nil              - means the species will have overworld appearence of any random species.
  # species names    - means the species will have random overworld appearence of one of that following species.

 

[ardicoozer]

So Ditto Encounter will only appear on all maps if I enter a pokemon species in the transform setting?

 

[thatonekriegerwriter]

It only functions if Ditto is an encounter on the Map.

 

[ardicoozer]

Ah...I understand now
Thank you^^

I require help, when I was compiling my game I encountered this.
When I look at the file, the line its talking about is already just 'end', so I don't know why its freaking out.

Hmm, I also don't know why this error message occures. Playtesting in the level editor works for me. Have you deleted some code? Or mayby Hotfix 1.0.5 is the problem?
Please try to reinstall Ditto Transform and the newest version of Pokemon Essentials. Do you use other plugins such as Pokemon deluxe or plugins that may overwrite the original pokemon essentials plugin manager? You could also try to return to Hotfix 1.0.1 or so to check if it works there.

Thank you for reporting the bug. I updated the aggressive encounters add-on. Please copy the newest version from github to your plugins folder.

I don't know what you have done here but your error message has nothing to do with the Visible Overworld Wild Encounters Plugin.
I recommand to check your other mods. If you can't find the error in your mods directly, then I recommand to reinstall your Pokemon Essentials Version and test your vanilla Pokemon Essentials 20 Version without any mods. If the error remains then you should report your bug in the official Pokemon Essentials 20 Thread. If the error is gone then you can include your mods one by one and test each of them seperately. The mod that causes the error at first is the one you are searching for.
