Resource DiegoWT's Starter Selection 1.5.0

[TechSkylander1518]

Hi, I really like this resource, but is there any way to get it with the EBDX Randomizer (the one I use), or Randomizer X? I would like to use this for my game, but the randomizer doesn't seem to affect it at all.

You could just give it random numbers directly-

DiegoWTsStarterSelection.new(rand(898),rand(898),rand(898))

(Where 898 is the number of Pokemon in your dex)

Yes, and when that happens, you get an error telling you that.

As you can see from superdude's screenshot, his code's all on one line, he's already used extendtext.exe. (If it was on two lines, it would show so, like in the cap above)

EDIT: I'm still mistaken in my solution, actually- I misread the instructions, superdude, you should put in the dex number of your Pokemon, not the species symbol. (You can actually get as far as the picture of your starter with the species, but it throws an error when playing the cry, lol)

You can fix the cry error by replacing
pbSEPlay(sprintf("%03dCry",@pkmn_array[@select-1]))
with
GameData::Species.play_cry_from_species(@pkmn_array[@select-1])

Works then with both the Pokédex no and the species symbol

Sweet, thanks for figuring that out!

DiegoWT updated DiegoWT's Starter Selection (v19.1) with a new update entry:

Update v1.2

Fixed a bug where the starter's form would show up only on the starter's screen, but the player would not receive the correct starter form;
The script call was revised to properly work with the species ID, not the national dex;
Now when a starter is selected, it will properly play its cry (configurable if you don't want it);
A new configuration for allowing the plugin to show the starter's second type when selected is present in the settings.

I tried out the new secondary typing option, and the gradient looks perfectly fine. However, when displaying the Pokemon's typing in the text, it only says the secondary typing rather than the first, or first+second. How would I change this to keep the gradient, but still display the first typing in text?

Oof, so sorry, I completely forgot about the text when doing the 1.2v update. For now, do this quick fix. Later I'll work on a more elaborate fix that will support a new text option, where you may configure if you want the text to show the starter's first type or both of them.

Paste below the line 400 type = @type , and, in line 417, alter the @type to type
Here's an image if you need reference:

EDIT: I've decided to make the script's window text to only show the starters' two types if the two gradients option is enabled.

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

On another note, it'd be cool if there were a way to preset the starter's IVs or held item too, in case you ever wanted to implement that as well.

That's something I'm not looking forward to implementing into the script. You could take a look at this wiki's page if you indeed are interested in that.

DiegoWT updated DiegoWT's Starter Selection (v19.1) with a new update entry:

Update v1.25

• Fixed the script's window text only showing the 2nd starter's type when the two gradients option is enabled. Now, it will show both types of the starters and, if it doesn't have two, it will show only one;
• Now there's a better explanation for the two gradients option in the script settings.

Can this be used to choose between a different number of starters, like 2 or 4?

Nope, only works with 3 starters.
If you're curious, you'd have to edit several parts of this script to get this to work.

I love this resource, are you gonna update it to version 20?

This starter selection is really cool, but every time I run it on play test it comes up with this error. I would appreciate if I could get some tips on how to resolve this. Thx

There are two reasons for this error to have shown up to you:
1 - You didn't compile your game (my plugin's name doesn't show in the Debug Output);
2 - You didn't extract the archives properly. Inside the folder where my plugin is installed should have meta.txt, Script.rb and Settings.rb.

As an alternative fix for reason 2, you could put both the .rb archives inside of your Script Editor.

I was able to fix it now, thx for the help.

How do I have Variable 7 update? When I use the script, the rival always uses the Fire starter (she's only supposed to pick Craburn starter if you pick Bubbott), even when you pick the Grass starter or the Fire starter yourself. I made multiple versions of the rival btw, and I think I set up the script section for the rival battle correctly. Fortunately, I could turn this into a joke by saying that the Water starter is the "canonical" starter of the trio for the player to pick.

It automatically updates.

The problem is with your rival event.
