Resource Mass Flag/TutorMove adder 2023-06-30

TechSkylander1518 submitted a new resource:

Mass Flag/TutorMove adder - Add flags to different PBS entries or tutor/TM moves to Pokémon all in one go!

View attachment 18633
Quick little script to let you add a flag to several PBS entries at once, rather than needing to scroll through for each one.
Useful for when you're creating a new category for a mechanic, especially if you plan on sharing this with others.

(I'll be using this with some public concepts in the future!)

Code​

​

Can be downloaded as a plugin for v20 here, or paste in a new script section above Main.

Such a great QoL for developing! Keep up the great work!

Can confirm that ":Species_Form" didn't do anything of note! That aside, this is such a phenomenally good resource.

Not sure what I am doing incorrectly, but I keep getting an error when enter this into a event script pbMassTutor(:ACIDRAIN,[:SHUCKLE])

Hm.... Is it possible that Shuckle doesn't have an existing TutorMoves property to add to? (I'm realizing that's definitely a situation I didn't consider that I'll need to work out, but I'm not sure it's what's causing your issue...)

This happens with every Pokémon, Mostly adding new moves with this, have not tried normal moves yet. As I am currently working with the PhoenixDex.

Hm, have you defined the moves yet?

All the moves have been added to my moves PBS file.

Respect this... could this work?

The parts with the red lines is what I added to the code. It should keep the game from crashing if an id in an array isn't in the PBS but it should also notify the one runing the code of it. Maybe the part with the message can be shortened to this:

I found an issue with using this script in v21.1. I managed to narrow it down to the script having an issue with running into empty fields of a Pokémon, in my case, the wild item group of fields (made it real easy to pin down what was happening since it was happening to Bulbasaur). It basically just throws back this error:
Exception: TypeError Message: 0 is not a symbol nor a string
I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to work without just cutting those parts out (because I'm assuming that'd prevent them from being written to pokemon.txt in the first place). Figuring out code clearly isn't my strongest suit.

EDIT: Okay, scratch that, I'm just an idiot and it's an incompatibility with Gen 9 pack scripts.
It's apparently incompatible with the bit of the Gen 9 pack scripts that lets moves be set to be learnable at Lv.-1.

In my testing, it also slightly broke the Repel item (was testing by adding the Flute flag to it). Specifically Name, NamePlural, and Description, setting the names to 'Unnamed' and the description to '???'.

If you ever decide to update this to v21, maybe you could take advantage of the pbs file changes that lets you have multiple files of each data type?

EDIT: Okay, just used it on my Pokémon. Any Pokémon it hit were renamed to Unnamed, and had their Category and Pokedex both become ???.

EDIT: Changed the hashes so that anything with "real" in the name matched, and that seemed to do the trick. Now my Pokémon aren't having their name, category, and entries deleted.

Hello! Is this plugin compatible with the latest Essentials version? Here is all of the plugins I am using.
