Resource Multiple Protagonists v5.0.0

[TechSkylander1518]

Hello. I keep running into the following error. I've installed Multiple Protagonists into my own project and I've fiddled around with a few things to try to get it to work, but to no avail. I've also created a brand new project and installed Multiple Protagonists and I got the exact same error. I imagine I must be doing something wrong, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is.

Did you start a new save after adding it?

Did you start a new save after adding it?

My mistake, I should have clarified, this error is occurring when I attempt to playtest my project. It crashes before it reaches the Continue screen. Not to mention, the brand new project that has the exact same error doesn't even have a save file on it at all. Very puzzling.

I think you have to manually delete the save data- the error message is referring to the player name, which is usually displayed at the Continue screen.

If you have any save file for "Pokemon Essentials v19.1" at all, it'll be called by your new project, even if you didn't start the save on that specific game.exe.

Very good point. I had forgotten that it will do that. I apologize for my ignorance, but how might I go about deleting the save data manually?

It's in
C/Users/(Your name)/App Data/Roaming/(Game Name)

The file name is Game.rxdata, just delete that.

If you can't see the App Data, folder, try this tutorial.

That did it. Thank you very much for your help and for your clear communication.

Yup, they should have their own dex lists with their own seen/caught Pokemon.

Can you show me your code on lines 405-415 of Battle_StartAndEnd?

Amazing script and system!

Is it possible to set it so certain systems are shared rather than them having their own? I would like the PC/Box Pokemon to be shared, as well as the Pokedex data (seen/caught).

Yes, for the PC storage, you can simply comment out any lines in the script that contain PokemonStorage or PCItemStorage and start a new save.

The Pokedex info is a bit trickier because that is stored within the general $Trainer object, so it can't just be commented out because you'd be sharing a lot more than just the Pokedex. I think you could try this: at the start of the game, save the first player's Pokedex to a Game Variable with this Script:

$game_variables[XXX] = $Trainer.pokedex

Then inside this script, find the above line on 502 and place this line below it:

newmeta[PBCharacterData::Trainer] = $Trainer # Find this
$Trainer.pokedex = $game_variables[XXX] # Add this below

In script section Player, find this line:

attr_reader   :pokedex

and change it to:

attr_accessor :pokedex

I haven't tested this, so let me know if it works.

Support with voltseon menu?

Support with voltseon menu?

You can add it by going to script section 001_VoltseonMenu_Config and adding "MenuEntrySwitch" inside the MENU_ENTRIES list, then going to 005_VoltseonMenu_Entries and adding this code at the bottom:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Entry for Multiple Protagonists Switch screen by NettoHikari
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
class MenuEntrySwitch < MenuEntry
  def initialize
    @icon = "menuDebug"
    @name = "Switch"
  end

  def selected(menu)
    characters = []
    characterIDs = []
    for i in 0...8
      if $PokemonGlobal.allowedCharacters[i] && i != $Trainer.character_ID
        characters.push(getTrainerFromCharacter(i).name)
        characterIDs.push(i)
      end
    end
    if characters.length <= 0
      pbMessage(_INTL("You're the only character!"))
      next
    end
    characters.push("Cancel")
    command = pbShowCommands(nil, characters, characters.length)
    if command >= 0 && command < characters.length - 1
      menu.pbHideMenu
      pbSwitchCharacter(characterIDs[command])
      break
    end
  end

  def selectable?
    return $PokemonGlobal.commandCharacterSwitchOn && !pbInSafari? &&
           !pbInBugContest? && !pbBattleChallenge.pbInProgress?
  end
end

It works..
Thank you^^

hi, im using in 18.1 (essentials gsc use that) works but when i put "pbTrainerName" make me put a name with the keyboard (our game have protagonist with they own name), and in switch show me other games (not that between ""), is more like put pbTrainerName to trainer i was used when i choose, if i got id 0 and select Porygon, character 0 got the name of Porygon. And idk how fix it. Thanks

Please read the documentation at the top of my script again. You cannot call "pbSwitchCharacter" and "pbTrainerName" consecutively. You have to combine them, like so:

pbSwitchCharacter(1, "NIKOLA")

and

pbSwitchCharacter(2, "PORYGON")

hey how do you change the trainer backsprite (when there throwing the pokeball) for the different characters
