Resource Overworld Weather moves 2022-05-20

TechSkylander1518 submitted a new resource:

Overworld Weather moves - Make it rain, and other weather-summoning phrases!

You know what's cool? Overworld moves. So let's make some more!

This is a script that allows the player to use Sandstorm, Hail, Rain Dance, and Sunny Day to summon their respective weathers in the overworld.

Please note that, in order for this script to work right, all of your maps must have their weather defined. (That includes indoor maps, unfortunately. I know, it sucks.) Probability does not matter, so your map can still have an established weather, or you can set it to 0...

Heads up, you misspelled :SUNNYDAY as :SUNNDAY in the middle of the script. But this looks fantastic, excited to try it out!

Thanks for catching that!

TechSkylander1518 updated Overworld Weather moves with a new update entry:

v19 Update

v19 update! Also fixed up some of the code for checking PP, because I think that had some errors in it.

TechSkylander1518 updated Overworld Weather moves with a new update entry:

v20 Update

The code was all totally compatible with v20, actually, but while I was testing it, I actually figured out how to solve that "you need all maps to have weather defined" issue. Also included a plugin for convenience.

Hello, I would like to use this plugin without having it subtract PP from your moves when you use them. How would I go about changing this? I plan on having a puzzle where you'll be using the weather moves quite a few times.

 

[TechSkylander1518]

You'll see a section like this for each move -

  for i in 0...pkmn.moves.length
    if pkmn.moves[i].id==:RAINDANCE
      moveno = i
    end
  end
  if pkmn.moves[moveno].pp==0
    pbMessage(_INTL("Not enough PP...")) if showmsg
    next false
  end

Just remove that chunk and you should be good to go!

Thank you! <3 super fast response :)

hello

How do I make the weather not stay when I switch to another map.

Thank you

This is explained in the instructions, in the part that starts with "To prevent weather from being transferred over, find this section of code in Overworld."

what does it mean Comment out the line next if !old_map_metadata || !old_map_metadata.weather.

Put a # in front of it.

there is a very real possibility that i'm just being dumb but im getting this error and i can't figure out why,,, works fine when in a situation where the move wouldn't activate (like when indoors or the weather type is already happening) and improved field skills works fine on its own

Oh, nothing stupid on your end, just an incompatibility me and Lucidious didn't consider! The mechanics for this involve deducting PP from the move on use, but since Improved Field Skills means that a Pokemon doesn't have to know the move, it causes an issue when making that check. I think you should be able to fix this by replacing this line -

if pkmn.moves[moveno].pp==0

with this

if moveno && pkmn.moves[moveno].pp==0

(The line appears 4 times, so just do a find and replace)

Let me know if this fixes it, I'll update the download!
