- Pokémon Essentials Version
- v16.2 ➖
What's this?
This is a simple script that downloads information from an API to geolocate the player, since the one included in Pokémon Essentials died sometime ago.
Usage
Place in a section above Main in your Script Editor:
Use 'getLocation' in a script call.
Design Notes
As far as I'm aware, only Vivillion forms need to rely on this, but you can be creative with it!
Instead of using it in a text message, you could also store the values for future use, all inside the script. The values are stored into an array, that will look something like:
Where "status" will be either "success" or "fail", if the API failed to retrieve the information. The script will not print the information in a message unless the API returns "status" as "success". You should also be doing that all times, and stop storing the remaining (faulty or non-existant) information.
That said, you can store 'formatted[x]' at will instead of printing it into a text message. Where X is 1 for Country, 2 for City, 0 for Status. See the API's Documentation for other possible fields it can return.
