[Scripting Question] Another PKMN-Storing Question

[Woah]

This is a script for storing a pokémon as a variable and then deleting it:

for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
  if isConst?($Trainer.party[i].species,PBSpecies,:PIKACHU)
    $game_variables[42]=$Trainer.party[i]
    pbRemovePokemonAt(i)
    break
  end
end

My question is, how do I change this to search for the 1st pokémon in the party, 2nd pokémon, 3rd, etc? Instead of searching for specifically pikachu, how can I incorporate $Trainer.party[0], for example? Seems like finding the pokémon's index isn't the best way to go about it, but I've tried other seemingly fail-proof methods that resulted in:

Thanks!

You mean like this?

for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length 
if $Trainer.party[i]==$Trainer.party[0] #checks for the first Pokemon 
$game_variables[42]=$Trainer.party[i] pbRemovePokemonAt(i) break end end

Not sure if I understood you right, that you want to store the first/second/third Pokemon in a variable

Ego's script is unnecessary, you just need the two lines, but I made it into a method so you don't have to hardcode it everytime you want to call it.

def pbRemoveAndStoreFromIndex(index)
    return if $Trainer.party.size<=index
    $game_variables[42]=$Trainer.party[index]
    pbRemovePokemonAt(index)
end

Just call the method with whatever index

Yeah that definitely is the easiest way
