[Battle] Way of making moves trigger automatically in battle

[grazid]

My idea would be to have weather moves automatically trigger when a pokemon is sent out to allow weather control to not be centralized on certain mons. Also, these moves would have 1 PP so they can only be used once and take up a moveslot to further balance it.

I'm just wondering how I would do this. I'm using CFRU.

That's a cool idea.

Roughly, I'd go find the bit of the code that handles weather abilities. Add some extra code that's roughly this psuedocode:

if not hasWeatherAbility:
  for move in moves:
    if move == SunnyDay:
      # copy the code that Drought uses to set up the sun.
      move.pp -= 1
      break
    elif move == RainDance:
      # copy the code that Drizzle uses to set up the rain.
      move.pp -= 1
    ...
