phantombass updated Modular Field Effects with a new update entry:

Added an example field

Added a Forest field as an example. Has an ignite method in Battle to check if you can change the field with certain moves. If you have any other questions let me know :]

Now that I think about it, there isn't any way to change the field with an ability right? I think it would be really nice if there was a thing for changing the field with an ability just like a move. You know, if a pokemon is send out and has a specific ability the field changes.

This is amazing plugin..
But, I'm curious about how to insert status pokemon to field effect like burn, poisoned, etc.

Are you meaning you want to find out how to make a field status certain pokemon?

Are you wanting it to activate whenever a Pokémon enters the field? If so, add a flag to the :intro_script section in Data and call it whatever you want as long as it's in quotes. Then in the Main script, search for intro_script, and put your condition for the flag you made in that place by starting with when "flag" (with flag being whatever you called your flag in :intro_script)

Brilliant..
Thank you bro

Stupid question probably. Is setting the battleback in the metadata enough to define it in game? So for example add forest in metadata?

phantombass · Jun 11, 2023

You could do that. You'd also need to make sure you have an Environment defined for that as well but I think that's already there. But the reason this requires you to list that battleback gfx in the script is so that if you have a field change in the battle, the battleback and battle base will update. Which is also why I recommend making sure your battleback and battle base files have the same name to coordinate

Are you asking if setting this in Metadata will define the field effect?

I don't be "that guy" but are you willing to make this compatible with V21 of Essentials?

Is this combatable with v20.1? I just copied and past the file into plugin and tried running it. I get this error.

Its just a typo. Go to line 75 in the Field_Effects_Data script and add a comma at the end

I have the same problem as Chikako, after further changing the code in an attempt to successfully compile the code I'm now having errors relating to end in Field_Effects_Main

Changes to the forest field:

        :Forest => {
            :field_name => "Forest",
            :intro_message => "The forest is dark.",
            :field_gfx => "forest",
            :nature_power => :SILVERWIND,
            :mimicry => :BUG,
            :intro_script => nil,
            :abilities => [:SWARM],
            :ability_effects => {
            :SWARM => [:ATTACK,1]
            },
            :move_damage_boost => {
            1.2 => [:WIND_MOVES]
            },
            :move_messages => {"The wind blew through the trees." => [:WIND_MOVES]},
            :move_type_change => {},
            :move_type_mod => {},
            :move_accuracy_change => {},
            :defensive_modifiers => {},
            :type_damage_change => {
            1.2 => [:BUG]
            },
            :type_messages => {"The bugs of the forest joined in!" => [:BUG]},
            :type_type_mod => {},
            :type_mod_message => {},
            :type_type_change => {},
            :type_change_message => {},
            :side_effects => {},
            #:field_changers => {:None => [:IGNITE_MOVES]},
            #:change_message => {"The forest burned down!" => [:IGNITE_MOVES]},
            #:field_change_conditions => {:None => Battle.ignite?}
        }
    }

The error I get when compiling:

[Pokémon Essentials version 20.1]
[v20.1 Hotfixes 1.0.7]

Were the changes I tried flawed or the code has more typos?
