[Other Question] Issues with Power Construct

[TheCandyFurret]

So I'm using pokemon essentials with an add on called smth like just "Gen 8" and im having a zygarde problem. basically if i turn him into form 3 (zygarde 50 with power construct) he wont activate power construct. So i figured ill just let ppl have a permanent zygarde complete. its a bit weird but whatever. unfortunately, when zygarde complete gets ko'ed, it turns into FIFTY percent with AURA BREAK, essentially undoing any chance of that zygarde turning complete ever again unless i do it through debug. This is a huge problem because zygarde is very important to my game and its story. what should i do?

Why do you want your zygrade to be in form 3 while form 0 is also 50 % .
Now answer to your question is when you have zygrade 50% (form 0) change his ability to Power Construct , and it will work the way you want .

I don't understand.

The code handling Zygade's transformation is this:

    # Zygarde - Power Construct
    if isSpecies?(:ZYGARDE) && isConst?(@ability,PBAbilities,:POWERCONSTRUCT) &&
       endOfRound
      if @hp<=@totalhp/2 && @form<2   # Turn into Complete Forme
        newForm = @form+2
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("You sense the presence of many!"))
        @battle.pbShowAbilitySplash(self,true)
        @battle.pbHideAbilitySplash(self)
        pbChangeForm(newForm,_INTL("{1} transformed into its Complete Forme!",pbThis))
      end
    end

in Battler_ChangeSelf. So your Pokémon should be in form 0 or 1 to transform.

What you are saying, is that for you, Zygarde in form 3 is Zygarde 50% with Power Construct. It shouldn't. In the PBS file, Zygarde form 3 is Zygarde 100% with Power Construct.

My guess is that your PBS is messed up ^^"

Post here the content of your PBS file related to Zygarde please, it should be:

Spoiler:

[ZYGARDE,1]
FormName = 10% Forme
BaseStats = 54,100,71,115,61,85
Height = 1.2
Weight = 33.5
Color = Black
Shape = 8
Pokedex = This is Zygarde when about 10% of its pieces have been assembled. It leaps at its opponent's chest and sinks its sharp fangs into them.
BattlerPlayerY = 19
BattlerEnemyY = 20
#-------------------------------
[ZYGARDE,2]
FormName = Complete Forme
BaseStats = 216,100,121,85,91,95
Abilities = POWERCONSTRUCT
Height = 4.5
Weight = 610.0
Color = Black
Shape = 6
Pokedex = This is Zygarde's perfected form. From the orifice on its chest, it radiates high-powered energy that eliminates everything.
BattlerPlayerY = 10
BattlerEnemyY = 4
#-------------------------------
[ZYGARDE,3]
PokedexForm = 2
BaseStats = 216,100,121,85,91,95
Abilities = POWERCONSTRUCT
Height = 4.5
Weight = 610.0
Color = Black
Shape = 6

Form 0 is 50% without being able to have power construct while form 3 is zygarde 50 percent while being able to have power construct.

you were right, my pbs was messed up. Zygarde didnt have power construct in its abilities. i fixed it and its running smoothly. Thank you!

Form 0 is 50% without being able to have power construct while form 3 is zygarde 50 percent while being able to have power construct.

Well you already got the solution
