Resource Random Pokémon selector 1.0.1

[ardicoozer]

I think that error would only show if you haven't installed the plugin correctly/compiled your plugins.

I already compile and place plugins in right place
and insert the command like on example
still got error like this :

pbAddPokemon(pkmn, 20)

I just insert the command like this :

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon
blackList = "suggested",
base_only = true

pbAddPokemon(pkmn, 20)

Maybe in v20.1 need to update for the command, I'm just remove the

()

and give a space between command and

=

like on my example and the command worked...

The code in your earlier message works fine for me, so that's an error of some kind on your end.

This second error is because you can't skip arguments in Ruby, as far as I know. So doing:

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon(
blackList="suggested",
base_only=true,
use_gen=nil)

Doesn't work because you've skipped the whiteList argument (Ruby is trying to interpret what you've given it using blackList as whiteList).

Then, in your "fix", removing the parentheses makes it so that you're effectively only doing:

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon

Which is just the script with all default arguments.
If you want the suggested blacklist, then you need to do:

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon(
whiteList=nil,
blackList="suggested"
)

Good solutions
I'll try it
Thanks for help

For example:

pkmn = Pokemon.new(p, 5)
pkmn.shiny = true
pbAddPokemon(pkmn)

You have a stray quote on your blackList line.

TY!
Is there any way I can add generation 9 in the script? and maybe type of pokemons?

 

[ThatWelshOne_]

TY!
Is there any way I can add generation 9 in the script? and maybe type of pokemons?

Assuming you have the Gen 9 project installed, you would just need to change the use_gen option to use_gen=[8, 9] to include Gen 8 and 9 only. Bearing in mind this is only the new species from Gen 8 and 9. If you want Bulbasaur to Mew as well, you'd need use_gen=[1, 8, 9].

For your second question, you can do something like this to pre-generate a white list of Pokémon of a certain type:

white_list = []
GameData::Species.each { |s| white_list.push(s.id) if s.types.include?(:ICE) || s.types.include?(:DRAGON) }
white_list.uniq!

pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon(
whiteList=white_list,
blackList="nil,
addList=nil,
base_only=false,
use_gen=nil)

To only include Ice- and Dragon-types (from any generation). I thought include? could accept an array like s.types.include?([:ICE, :DRAGON]), but it turns out I'm rustier than I thought.

 

[tyssonpark]

it worked out! Another time I'll test the "type random" thanks friend!

Is there a way to have a larger pool of whitelisted pokemon? Because sometimes you don't feel like banning all but 20 pokemon just to randomize between 20 pokemon!

The whitelist is just an array, there’s no size limit.

 

[Phye]

Yes, but there is a limit to the script window on how many pokemon you can fit there even with extend text. I'm not as cunning to fit multiple objects in an array that is pulled from somewhere else.

 

[LinKazamine]

Try putting multiple scripts one after the other without closing the brackets until the last one.
Something like that.
Script 1: whitelist = [:BULBASAUR,
Script 2: :IVYSAUR,
Script 3: :VENUSAUR]
This is just an exaggerated example, but putting scripts one after the other without anything in the middle makes them work as a single script so you can try and see if it works.

Hi, this plugin is great! May I ask what should I do if I want players to possibly get randomised region form Pokémon? Will regional form Pokémon be generated without whitelisting enabled by default? For example, if I set use_gen=[7], might there be :RATTATA_1 generated? I tried the following code and it is possible. Is there any other way to do this?

whitelist=[:RATTATA_1]
pkmn = pbChooseRandomPokemon(
whiteList=whitelist,
blackList=nil,
addList=nil,
base_only=nil,
use_gen=nil)
pbAddPokemon(pkmn, 5)

I want :RATTATA_1 and use_gen=[1] to be implemented at the same time, is it possible?

The problem is that some species have 1 million cosmetic or specific forms so it could become weird. But nothing prevents you from editing the generated pokemon. I'm personaly using a pbrandomform function that I call after generating the pokemon. It's not perfect but at least they can appear. Here it is:

def pbRandomform(pkmn)
forms = [0]
namelist=["Alolan","Galarian","Female","10%","Cloak","Kyurem",
"Size","Unbound","Style","Midnight","Dusk","Low Key","Rider"]
GameData::Species.each do |sp|
next if sp.species != pkmn.species
for j in namelist
if sp.form_name!=nil
if sp.form_name.include? j
forms.push(sp.form)
end
end
end
end
form = forms.sample
pkmn.form = form
end
