[v12+] Difficulty Modes - Allows an easy way to make difficulty modes like the ones on Key System in B2W2.

This script is for Pokémon Essentials. It allows an easy way to make difficulty modes like the ones on Key System in B2W2.

A difficulty mode may change:

1. Wild Pokémon levels
2. Trainer's Pokémon levels
3. Trainer's skill level
4. Trainer's money given
5. Trainer definition (define a different trainer entry in trainers.txt)
6. Exp received

Tested on Essentials v19.1 and v20.1. More versions (v12) on link. If this script isn't working on latest Essentials version, please...

You need an option to change a variable (not directly related to this script). Put the below code in the script or above main:

Way A - Simpler, but won't work a option screen in start menu before save was created.

MenuHandlers.add(:options_menu, :difficulty_mode, {
  "name"        => _INTL("Difficulty"),
  "order"       => 50,
  "type"        => EnumOption,
  "parameters"  => [_INTL("Lunatic."), _INTL("Vanilla")],
  "description" => _INTL("Change the difficulty of the game. Try to not change it too often."),
  "get_proc"    => proc { $game_variables ? $game_variables[90] : 0 },
  "set_proc"    => proc { |value, _scene| $game_variables[90] = value if $game_variables}
})

Way B - Works at option screen in start menu, but you need to call script line '$PokemonSystem.refresh_var' in Oak's letture.

MenuHandlers.add(:options_menu, :difficulty_mode, {
  "name"        => _INTL("Difficulty"),
  "order"       => 50,
  "type"        => EnumOption,
  "parameters"  => [_INTL("Lunatic."), _INTL("Vanilla")],
  "description" => _INTL("Change the difficulty of the game. Try to not change it too often."),
  "get_proc"    => proc { $game_variables ? $game_variables[90] : $PokemonSystem.difficultyMode },
  "set_proc"    => proc { |value, _scene| 
    $PokemonSystem.difficultyMode = value
    $PokemonSystem.refresh_var
  }
})

class PokemonSystem
  attr_accessor :difficultyMode

  alias :_old_fl_option_var_initialize :initialize
  def initialize
    _old_fl_option_var_initialize
    @difficultyMode = 0
  end

  def refresh_var
    return if !$game_variables
    $game_variables[90] = @difficultyMode
  end
end
