Put the pbMaxRaid line in the same script as all the stuff above it. You entered them as two different scripts, they should all be together. I tested it, and I dont get this error when it's all entered as a single script entry.

Perfect!

Now works without any problem.

Thanks!

I noticed another bug. When you fight with a Pokémon that holds an oran berry, this error messages appears when they use it.

Spoiler:

Making that method as only for read (script ZUD_07) "fixes" the bug, but I'm sure that this isn't the properly solution.

Well actually isUnnerved? was deleted between v18.1 and the Gen 8 project (terrible version management).
Replace battler.isUnnerved? it with !battler.canConsumeBerry? (be careful to include the "?" and the "!")
EDIT: I updated the file in the download.

Hey friend Can yoy explain me how the raid den resets actually work in slightly detail ?

Sir William said:
Hey friend Can yoy explain me how the raid den resets actually work in slightly detail ?

I'd break it down like this.

Raid Dens have three different "states", which we can call , "Idle", "Active", and "Inactive".
By default, a den will always be in its Idle state. In this state, it is just an empty den with no species saved and no timer active. It won't change from this state until it's accessed by the player.

When you access an Idle den and save your game, the den now becomes "Active".
When a den becomes active, a species is determined and saved to that specific den so that it cannot be reset.
In addition to this, a timer is activated that checks whether the game clock has passed midnight yet.
The den will remain in its active state until its forced to change to a different state. The state of the den will change depending on a few factors.

If you defeat/capture the species in the den, the den will enter its "Inactive" state.
In its inactive state, the den is empty and cannot be accessed to generate a new species.
However, if you have any Wishing Pieces in your inventory, you can use one on an inactive den to change it back to its "Idle" state, so that the cycle can begin again.

If a raid den is left in its Active or Inactive states, it will eventually reset back to its Idle state on its own by checking the game clock. If the game timer has passed midnight, the event will automatically reset itself, and return to its Idle state so that it may be accessed again.

Also, if you're playing in Debug mode, you can ignore all of this simply by holding down the CTRL key to force a den reset when exiting the den screen.

Basucally what I want to ask is basically when this condition is achieved by default ?

Spoiler:

# Begins Max Raid Den event.
if !$game_self_switches[[thisMap,thisEvent,"B"]]
scene = MaxRaidScene.new
screen = MaxRaidScreen.new(scene)
screen.pbStartScreen(size,rank,pkmn,loot,field,gmax,hard,storedPkmn)
if $game_variables[storedPkmn]==1
pbSetSelfSwitch(thisEvent,"B",true)
end
end
else
pbMessage(_INTL("There appears to be a raid den here, but no Dynamax energy is present."))
end
end

That's the condition that begins a new raid. It will always run as long as the event's Self Switch "B" is turned OFF. Switch B is what toggles between the den being in an Active or Inactive state. The switch is handled in the code itself, not in the event page.

where can I edit max moves and gmaxmoves animation

Using the animation editor. Note that the animations should be called Move:MAXMOVE and OppMove:MAXMOVE. Nothing fancy.

That's awesome guys! I'm using it on my game and loving it! I just have one question, how can I create a wild Pokémon battle with a Gygantamax/Dynamax Pokémon?

For normal battles I can do it like this: pbWildBattle(::PBSpecies::TOTODILE,10) - There's some way to make this TOTODILE a Dynamax?

Check out how the raid battle script handles generating dynamaxed wild battles.

How would I do a Max Raid Battle similar to the Eternamax Eternatus Battle? Is there a way to set it as a battle rule so I could have a static Max Raid?

What do you mean "similar" to the Eternamax battle? Like what specifically are you trying to do?

TheCandyFurret · Mar 8, 2021

I basically meant a story related max raid, where you can use your party, you can have the max raid be against any pokemon you want, etc. So, like, would there be anything like "pbDyanamax" (Not specifically that obviously but smth like that)

I'm still not 100% clear on what exactly you're trying to accomplish. Is it basically just a Max Raid battle, but without the formal intro screen and all that? Or do you mean literally just a regular battle, but versus a Dynamax opponent? Like no special rules? (timer, ko's, shields, etc). Both are pretty easy, but will require making some new code. I think you're probably more likely asking about the second one though, so I'll go based on that.

Basically, you'll have to create a new encounter modification script the same way you would for any other custom event battle. Just make a new game switch to toggle when this happens, like the shiny switch example in PField_EncounterModifiers. In the script, you'll have to set "makeDynamax" on the Pokemon, as well as its Dynamax level/G-Max Factor, if necessary. Then, whenever this switch is turned on, you will only encounter Dynamax Pokemon.

Note they won't have Max Moves, however. For that, you'll have to do some more battle edits. Probably in the battler initialization, set pbDisplayPowerMoves(2) to run when the switch you created is turned on, AND the Pokemon is an opposing Pokemon (so your Pokemon's moves aren't also converted into Max Moves). That should probably work.

Sir William · Mar 9, 2021

Hey I have just seen the Dynamax Adventure Test video & that was awesome . Good Job man.

TheCandyFurret · Mar 9, 2021

Yes, this is exactly what I was asking about, thank you! I'm really sorry for not being more clear.

Credits:

Spoiler:

Thank you for using!
Pls give credit, we crave for gratitude.

The ZUD plugin:
The ZUD plugin was adapted to the Gen 8 project and polished beyond reason by Lucidious89 and StCooler.
The tutorials were written by Lucidious89 and StCooler.

The ZUD plugin couldn't exist without these people:
The Z-move part:
For the base script (for Essentials v16.2):
Primary Scripting: Marcello
Beta Testers: Zumi, Ice Cream Sand Witch
Other Testers/Other Help: Amethyst, Jan, Sardines, Inuki
For the adaptation to Essentials v18.gen8: StCooler

The Ultra-Burst part:
For the base script for Essentials v17.2: WolfPP

The Dynamax part:
For the base tutorial: fauno
For the adaptation to Essentials v18.1: Lucidious89

Gigantamax sprites are taken from the Sword/Shield sprite project on Smogon.

About the version of Essentials

Spoiler:

This plugin is made as an addition to the Gen 8 project.
When possible, the tutorial inciudes different installations for v18 and v18.1, however the ZUD plugin was not tested on these.

If you use v18/v18.1, you will likely have errors about missing PBEffects constants or abilities. You can always solve these manually.

Installation

Spoiler:

File installation:

Spoiler:

Merge the Graphics folder with your own Graphics folder, beware of Item conflict. Similarly, merge the Audio folder with your own Audio folder.

Add the files ZUD_dynamax.txt and ZUD_zmoves.txt to your PBS folder.

(Optional) The included pokemon.txt PBS file adds habitat information to all PokÃ©mon. It should replace the original pokemon.txt PBS file.
If you modified the file pokemon.txt provided in the Gen 8 project, you should merge the two files using a text-comparison tool (like the Compare plugin for Notepad++, or the site Text Compare!).

Copy/paste the content of the items.txt and moves.txt at the end of your own items.txt and moves.txt files. Beware of ID conflicts.

Add the new scripts to your scripts. These new scripts should be added AFTER the Compiler scripts, in the following order:

If you use the Mid Battle Dialogue plugin, then the Mid Battle Dialogue scripts should be BEFORE the ZUD plugin. The ZUD plugin includes some compatibility with it.
In summary, your script list should look like this:

General script installations:

Spoiler:

In Battler_UseMove, in the function:

Code:

def pbUseMove(choice,specialUsage=false)

below the line "pbBeginTurn(choice)":

In the function:

Code:

def pbCompiler

Find the line "Constants.rxdata":
And REPLACE it with this:

Code:

"Constants.rxdata", #======================================================================== # Z-Moves/Dynamax Data (ZUD) #======================================================================== "ZUD_zmoves.dat", "ZUD_dynamax.dat" #========================================================================

In the same function:

Script installation for Z-moves:

Spoiler:

In Battler_UseMove, in the function:

Code:

def pbUseMove(choice,specialUsage=false)

Next to "@battle.pbCanShowCommands?(@index)" on the same line:
Paste this:

Code:

&& !choice[2].zMove? # Added for Z-Moves (ZUD)

In the file Battle_Action_Switching, this step requires more attention, because Gen 8 project and v18.1 handle this part differently.

HERE IS FOR V18 AND V18.1

Spoiler:

We have not tested this on v18 and v18.1, because Healing Wish and Lunar Dance are handled differently. But still, here is something you should try.

In the definition of pbOnActiveOne:

Code:

def pbOnActiveOne(battler)

find the code for Lunar Dance:

Code:

# Lunar Dance if @positions[battler.index].effects[PBEffects::LunarDance] pbCommonAnimation("LunarDance",battler) pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} became cloaked in mystical moonlight!",battler.pbThis)) battler.pbRecoverHP(battler.totalhp) battler.pbCureStatus(false) battler.eachMove { |m| m.pp = m.totalpp } @positions[battler.index].effects[PBEffects::LunarDance] = false end

and just below, paste this:

Code:

# Z-Parting shot/Z-Memento if @positions[battler.index].effects[PBEffects::ZHeal] pbCommonAnimation("ZHeal",battler) pbDisplay(_INTL("The Z-Power healed {1}!",battler.pbThis)) battler.pbRecoverHP(battler.totalhp) @positions[battler.index].effects[PBEffects::ZHeal] = false end

Note that this code doesn't handle the change in mechanics introduced in Gen 8, in which Lunar Dance / Healing Wish only activate if the entering battler has a status or is not full HP. By the way, Z-Heal is the effect triggered by Z-Memento and Z-Parting shot, that makes a weak copy of Lunar Dance / Healing Wish.

HERE IS FOR GEN 8 PROJECT

Spoiler:

In the definition of pbActivateHealingWish:

Code:

def pbActivateHealingWish(battler)

and just before the end of the definition, paste this code:

Code:

If you're a hardcore coder, in the definition of pbOnActiveOne:

Code:

What to do if you already installed the previous Dynamax plugin or the Z-move addon

Spoiler:

Support for the previous version of the Dynamax plugin, and for the Z-move add-on is discontinued. You shouldn't download these scripts anymore.

There are three solutions, in decreasing order of radicality:

Backup your file Scripts.rxdata, download the Gen 8 project again, replace your Scripts.rxdata with the clean one, and install the ZUD scripts. You'll also need to install every other script you added.
Do this if you only added new scripts from others, and did little to no scripting on your own.

Backup your file Scripts.rxdata, download the Gen 8 project again, and open both your project, and the Gen 8 project. Copy/paste the following scripts from the Gen 8 project to your project:

Spoiler:

(If you installed the Z-move add-on for v18.dev by StCooler)

Compiler

(If you installed the Dynamax/Max Raid addon by Lucidious89)

Just delete the current Dynamax and Mechanic_Compatibility scripts. The ZUD Plugin uses completely different scripts, all to be installed right above Main.

Also, undo steps 1 & 5 in the Additional Installation guide. These steps are changed in the new plugin. All the other steps *should* still be the same (although the plugin adds some additional new steps).

Audio and Graphics are the same, the new plugin just adds more. Item and Move PBS data is updated though, so those'll have to be replaced.

(This will reset these scripts).
You will need to check your other installed scripts, so that you make sure everything is working correctly.
Do this if you have installed new scripts, but not so many that alter things in battle.

Backup your file Scripts.rxdata, and read carefully the installation processes detailed in the original post for Z-moves and Dynamax. Remove any added line.
This is tedious but it's the cleanest way to do it if you heavily modified your scripts for your project.

Cry. It may help.

F.A.Q.

Spoiler:

Q: Oh no, I only wanted Z-moves and not Dynamax, Dynamax is a crappy mechanic that ruined Gen 8!
A: You can easily disable Dynamax; go to the file ZUD_01_Settings_Misc, find the line:

Code:

NO_DYNAMAX = 37 # The switch number for disabling Dynamax.

This lines tells you that switch number 37 in your game can be set to ON in order to completely disable Dynamax.
In your intro Event, set switch 37 to ON in order to DISABLE Dynamax. If you already use Switch 37 for other purposes, change the number here, and set the corresponding switch to ON.

Q: Oh no, I only wanted Dynamax and not Z-moves, Z-moves are a relic from the past, they are soooo Gen 7!
A: You can easily disable Z-moves; go to the file ZUD_01_Settings_Misc, find the line:

Code:

NO_Z_MOVE = 35 # The switch number for disabling Z-Moves.

This lines tells you that switch number 35 in your game can be set to ON in order to completely disable Z-moves.
In your intro Event, set switch 35 to ON in order to DISABLE Z-moves. If you already use Switch 35 for other purposes, change the number here, and set the corresponding switch to ON.

Q: I found a bug, pls halp!
A: Keep calm, don't panic, and above all, don't message us. Read the whole installation process completely again, be sure (like, SURE) your installation is correct.
If your installation is correct and you still have the error, make a unique and complete post with: a screenshot of your error + the code of the function that is mentioned in the error message. (Do not post the whole script, just the function).

Q: Will you make it compatible for Essentials v18 or v18.1?
A: This code should be already compatible with v18 and v18.1, however we didn't test it. Feel free to report any issue with those versions, following the abovementioned procedure.

Q: Will you make it compatible for Essentials v17.2 / v16.2?
A: No.

Q: Will you add animations for Z-moves / Max-moves?
A: No.

Q: Will you add AI partners / online in Max Raids?
A: No.

Q: Will you add 4v1 Max Raids?
A: You can already make them using the script Essentials Modular Battles by Pokeminer20.

Q: Will you add Max Raid Adventures?
A: No.

Q: Why are you so negative?
A: No.

Bouh.
