Excessing my expectations without me even realize I had them. Another must download! Marvelous work as always my friend! Much love to your hard work.

Curious if this could work as a backport to v20.1, if the code's somewhat similar...

Youd also have to backport the Deluxe Battle Kit in that case, since this plugin depends on that...and I wish you all the luck with that lol

Lucidious89 updated SOS Battles [DBK Add-On] [v21.1] with a new update entry:

v1.0.1 Update

• Made some edits that may reduce errors if map metadata is missing.
• Made it so that wild Pokemon can now perform SOS calls in a triple battle if only one wild Pokemon remains.
• Made various touch-ups to animations so it looks smoother when Pokemon/Trainers join the battle.

That'd make sense. Is the Deluxe Battle Kit a v21.1 version of Essentials Deluxe? Or is it completely different?

Its functionally the successor to Essentials Deluxe, but its an entirely different plugin on the backend of things.

Gotcha, that's kinda what I was thinking. I appreciate the insight!

So I've managed to script my battle as I want to, and made adjustments to the AI so that the grunts will attack her instead of me, and that when they're on the field she will attack them instead of me.

def generateTestBattle
  f = ["Shit!  Mel's not ready.","I'm game for anything if it keeps her safe and out of their hands."]
  setBattleRule("midbattleScript", {
    "RoundEnd_1_foe" => {
      "setSpeaker" => :TEAMROCKET_F,
      "speech"     => "While the Lass is distracted, get her!",
      "addTrainer" => [:TEAMROCKET_F, "Grunt", 1]
    },
    "RoundEnd_2_foe" => {
      "setSpeaker" => :TEAMROCKET_M,
      "speech"     => "Got it!",
      "addTrainer" => [:TEAMROCKET_M, "Grunt", 1]
    },
    "RoundStartCommand_3_foe" => {
      "setSpeaker" => :LASS,
      "speech"     => "Eep!"
    },
    "AfterSwitchIn_MELOETTA" => {
      "setSpeaker" => :LASS,
      "speech"     => f
    }
  })
  TrainerBattle.start_core(:LASS, "Crissy")
end

What I'd like to request for a future version, is some way for the second SOS trainer to slide in from the right, so that they're on the opposite side of Crissy from the first SOS trainer. So that they're actually surrounding her.

I'll give it a look, but tbh I'm very unlikely to add this. Because despite how simple that this feature may sound, pulling this off would require a lot of work, and idk if such a minor feature could really justify doing so.

oh, I know it's not simple, lol. Trying to do it myself kept running into weird errors. Either a trainer suddenly using another trainer's team, or in an infinite loop of sending out new mons, etc. I'm currently just making the Lass spawn into slot 3 naturally by having a pre-poisoned Shedinja (so it faints before the first Rocket Grunt spawns) in slot 1.

Yeah, its a nightmare to code. I more or less have an idea of what I would have to do to implement it, and it would require basically the construction of an entirely new mechanic to get it done. Plus, id have to figure out a way to fix the player's targetting, too (for instance, if the player targeted index 1, but a new Pokemon/Trainer now exists in that position and would break how a move works).

It's just a million times easier to just have a new Pokemon/Trainer join by occupying an already-empty position, since that position doesnt affect the battle at all beforehand.

Hi, i have a question, how i make a Totem Battle? Because it's a thing that the plugin can do, but i don't know how to do the event for this Type of Battle

It's covered in the guide.

Whenever a Pokémon calls for help I get this error message, I was wondering if anyone could help me figuring out what went wrong:

I have gotten it to work, but m still interested in what the problem was. It got fixed when I changed some map metadata

It was probably trying to search for map-exclusive SOS species to call, but no map metadata existed for that map.

v1.0.3 Update

Ahhh alright, that seems possible ye. Thank you!
