[Scripting Question] Z-moves for non-Status moves

[Tea-Rex]

I want to implement Z-moves into my game but I have no idea how to go about it. I have all the sprites needed but the coding is what's leaving me in a pickle. Does anyone know or have the code for the non stat Z-moves such as Breakneck Blitz or Sinister Arrow Raid? I don't plan on adding Z status moves as of now. Anyone got any ideas as to how I can go about it?

Hey! Can you just add this overhyped gen7 feature? I don't want to do a thing, so just send me your code!

This doesn't work. Learn how to code yourself, dig through the Essentials battle system, try to use Mega evolution as a base and work from there - yourself. Obviously, you can ask for help, but you can't just ask someone to make a whole system/feature like this. I know there are/have been various people working on this, simply because that's how a lot of people act - even I did, in fact - but if they think it's done, they'll release it.

Yeah I understand what you're trying to say and I can see why you'd have problems with it, but I'm stumped as to how to go about it. I can understand and read the code up to the point where I can add my own abilities and move effects. I've tried adding in my own transformation before (ei. new type of mega evolution) but I could never get it working. What would be really helpful is if there was a list on the sort of things I would need to add to the code or some sort of tutorial video in which I can learn how to do this code. All the coding I've done has been self taught so if there is a way for me to properly learn how to code that be a big help.

I may have been a bit unclear but I wasn't asking for all the code. Where's the fun in that? XD

The best I can do for you is pseudo code off the top of my head what you would have to do

-Have an array that will store all the z moves the PKMN can use #You need this later
-Check if player has Z ring && pkmn has Z crystal && Player hasn't used a z move
     -Check to see if pkmn has move type
              -Check if the move has a unique z move
     -Do calculations for the power of the z-move
     -Store all the moves in the array
     -Display the list of z moves the pkmn can preform from the array
              -If they cancel then exit this code
              -Else preform the selected z-move
              -Make it so they can't use another z-move for the rest of the battle
-end

This I guess gives you a point to start with if that was what you where struggling with.
