Fluid Badges - Allows Badges to be collected and displayed in any order

View attachment 14228
Script to let players earn badges in any order they like. Badges will be displayed in the order received.

This is currently only written for default Essentials UI. It's totally possible to adapt it for another layout, you'll just need to work to integrate it into the other script.​

Code​

If you prefer plug-and-play scripts, you can paste this in a new script section above Main.

Spoiler: Code

is it backwards compatible with v18.1?

 

[TechSkylander1518]

is it backwards compatible with v18.1?

Not the plug-and-play version - there's been way too many changes between v18 and v20 for most scripts to be compatible between the two, unless they're mostly with non-Pokemon mechanics like event movement. But you can try to adapt the Instructions section for v18. The names for certain methods/objects are different between the two (badge_count was numbadges in v18, $player was $Trainer, etc.), so you'll have to try to translate it back.

What size are the badge images?

What size are the badge images?

They can be whatever size you want! Since they're not in a spritesheet, the game doesn't need to worry about having them be one specific size, or even all the same size. (I'll update the Using the Script section to clarify more on how to adjust coordinates for where they display.)

Hey! So this works great, but there were two errors in the scripts as given that I had to track down.

First, in UI_TrainerCard, you don't define the imagePositions array, which causes the game to crash upon displaying the Trainer Card. That script should be:

    x = 72
    imagePositions = []
    for i in 0...$player.badges.length
      badge = $player.badges[i].to_s
      @sprites["badge#{i}"] = IconSprite.new(x, 310, @viewport)
      @sprites["badge#{i}"].setBitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Trainer Card/#{badge}")
      x += 48
    end

Second, the pbGiveBadge function defines the badge image as {badge} and then calls it as {badgename}. That section should read:

def pbGiveBadge(badge)
  raise "#{badge} Badge has no graphic" if !pbResolveBitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Trainer Card/#{badge}")
  $player.badges.push(badge)
end

With those two fixes, this appears to work like a charm!

Thanks so much for catching those! I had actually meant to delete the other line referring to imagePositions as well, since it's not used anymore, seems like I missed it copying over. The badgename thing is actually supposed to make the error a little more readable with capitalization (it gets defined on the line above), but it's definitely way easier to just capitalize in the message than put in two variables with almost the same name. (Especially seeing as I did mix them up and had it check for the wrong file name) Should be fixed in the post, thanks again!

Hello. Whenever I try to run the game, it stops from running, saying that the "Trainer" on line 10 of the code is an ininitialized constant. Do you know anything I can do to fix this? Should I just replace the other lines of code instead of just using the plug-and-play script?

attempting to use in v21.1... this error is... not helpful (~_~;)

Well, you can't expect an outdated script to still work in recent versions, that's the basics of the basics

The error is telling them that there is some error in how some code ends. That doesn't have to do with the Essentials version being used but instead that the code was likely edited and an "end" or "}" that should be in the code was deleted.

I don't think he's messed with the script, since he has no idea what errors might pop up. But it could be a possibility

actually it's working fine now. the trainercard ui was just missing an extra "end". i probably accidentally deleted it.
