Maybe you didn't put Z-crystal PBS in items.txt.

I set the name of the Max Move animation below but Max Move animation did not work.
Move:MAXLIGHTNING
OppMove:MAXLIGHTNING

Did you compile the moves again?
If you've just made the animations and tested them right after, then the game doesn't know you have them (it's a bit complicated, but the compiler associates moves with animations and stores the association in a file that the Animation Editor doesn't edit).
Add a space to moves.txt for example, and delete it (do not CTRL+Z) and start the game again from RPG Maker.

PS: If you're interested in making animations, I suggest you see this topic. We're currently making animations for Gen 8 moves, and Max/Z-moves are the next step.
Animations are kinda off-topic in the thread for ZUD ^^"

Sorry for bothering, but may I ask for some help?

I've installed all twelve scripts and made all changes to other scripts as as told in the installation guide. Everything works for the most part but once a pokemon tries to use a move I get this error:

[Pokémon Essentials version 18.1.dev]
Exception: NameError
Message: undefined local variable or method `battler' for #<PokeBattle_Move_Z000:0xec4a7c8>

05_Move_Data:129:in `pbUse'

I have Gen 8 project installed so I think that's why it says 18.1.dev.

Yes, Gen 8 Project is v18.1.dev.
I don't see the error in my scripts. Can you post the code of the whole function pbCalcDamageMultipliers please?

Yes. Here it is. This should be all of it.

    # Max Raids - Prevents capture of Raid Pokemon until it's defeated. (ZUD)
    #===========================================================================
    return if pbRaidCaptureFail(battler,ball)
    #===========================================================================
    # Calculate the number of shakes (4=capture)

should be in the function:

Code:

  def pbThrowPokeBall(idxBattler,ball,rareness=nil,showPlayer=false)

in the file PokeBattle_Battle_Commmon.
The rest:

Code:

    #===========================================================================
    # Max Raids - Reduces damage while behind a Raid Shield. (ZUD)
    #===========================================================================
    pbCalcRaidShieldDamage(target,multipliers)
    #===========================================================================

is in the right place.

I didn't read the items.txt that was attached on the Drive and that's what was happening. Everything working properly now, and I've already managed to change graphics to my modified battle UI. Pretty nice script you've made. Thanks a lot!

Ok, so I checked the Modular Pause Menu plugin.
In fact, it does use the SAFARISTEPS constant, but it's hidden in the file Data/Plugins/MODMN.rxdata. This file contains one script. I suggest you revert your changes, as it is bad practice to modify the whole project just to match an outdated version of a plugin, because it will endanger compatibility with future scripts, so I propose you do this instead:

Rename your file Scripts.rxdata to Scripts_TEMP.rxdata.

Rename your file MODMN.rxdata to MODMN_OLD.rxdata.

Copy your file MODMN_OLD.rxdata to your Data folder (the folder where Scripts_TEMP.rxdata is).

Rename the file MODMN_OLD (the one in the Data folder, not in the Plugins folder) to Scripts.rxdata.

Open RPG Maker, open the script editor. If you did everything right, you will see only one script called Modular Menu.

In this script, replace SAFARISTEPS with SAFARI_STEPS.

Now, save your project, and close RPG Maker.

Rename the current Scripts.rxdata to MODMN.rxdata, and put it back in the Plugins folder.

Rename your old file Scripts_TEMP.rxdata to Scripts.rxdata

The SAFARISTEPS bug should be solved now.

As for your other problem, I think you should make a topic in the Pokémon Essentials forum.

PS: It is also bad practice to modify a plugin that's not yours, but eh, we're fangame-devs.

Sorry for my bad english.

Why are you asking about issues with a different script here? This thread is about the ZUD Plugin. Go to that thread if you have an issue with that script.

This is probably something you can do with an event. Change the Graphics of your Max Raid event depending on its Event switch.

There is a function giveGMaxFactor. You can make an item that gives the gmax factor if the Species can have it.
