[Error] What does this error mean?

[jolteongolem]

Hey all! What does this error mean & how do I fix it? I haven't done anything different besides adding gen 8 pokemon, abilities & items along with updating some other battle sprites in gen 7 & 6. I did not have any issues before. The issue happens whenever I try to open up my bag only during a battle.

Here's the code:

[Pokémon Essentials version 17.2]
Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `>' for nil:NilClass
PokeBattle_Scene:2429:in `pbItemMenu'
PokeBattle_Scene:2428:in `call'
PScreen_Bag:322:in `pbRefreshFilter'
PScreen_Bag:321:in `each'
PScreen_Bag:321:in `pbRefreshFilter'
PScreen_Bag:319:in `each'
PScreen_Bag:319:in `pbRefreshFilter'
PScreen_Bag:145:in `pbStartScene'
PokeBattle_Scene:2428:in `pbItemMenu'
PokeBattle_Battle:2552:in `pbItemMenu'



Thanks, i appreciate the help if possible!

Hey there,
I don't know exactly how to help you but I believe this error hints at that you're trying to compare nil (nothing) with a number (f.ex. nil>0). Look into
PokeBattle_Scene specifically into "def pbItemMenu" and into its ">". My suspicion is this line:

Spoiler:

itemscene.pbStartScene($PokemonBag,true,Proc.new{|item| 
       $ItemData[item][ITEMBATTLEUSE]>0 || pbIsPokeBall?(item)
       },false)

Because you added new items to the game I guess it could be related to one or more of these items not having their in battle use defined and therefore this function is trying to call up the Item data and compares the in battle use to 0 (nil>0).
Go check each item you added to your game's PBS files for the red part:

1,REPEL,Repel,1,400,"An item that prevents any low-level wild Pokémon from jumping out at you for 100 steps.",2,[COLOR="Red"]0[/COLOR],0,
