[Scripting Question] Wild ZORUA / ZOROARK ability ILLUSION

[SARGØN]

[Essentials v20.1]

Hi, I know that :ILLUSION ability only works with trainers. I want it to work with a hardcoded wild too.

Does anyone know how I could hardcode a wild Zoroark event to start with the illusion of a specific pokemon? An event like this:

pkmn = Pokemon.new(:ZOROARK, 50)
pkmn.ability = :ILLUSION
pkmn.form = 0

# Modify Zoroark's Illusion to (Pikachu, for example):

# illusion_however_it_is_done = :PIKACHU

WildBattle.start(pkmn)

I know there's some code that needs to be touched for this to work, but I don't even know where to start.

I need help! :D

(Please, without using $game_switches, I don't think it's necessary for this)

Thank you! <3

Try setting "@effects[PBEffects::Illusion]" during battle, as that's the way it works. With EBDX, you could just have it set in a battle script, but idk how you'd do it in vanilla Essentials without using variables/switches in some way

The original Illusion script sets the species and name as the last active Pokémon in the party (unless the Illusionist is the only active member). What you want to try and do for Illusion in the wild is to set the species and name to a random local species. The easiest way I know how is to hard code two arrays, one for the species and one for the name. In a case/when statement based on the current map, set the arrays to whichever species are found locally and their names (how the species would appear in the game's text). At the end of the case statement, use wildspecies.sample to return a random element to a variable (randelem for explanation's sake) and set the wild Pokémon's species and name to the random element from the species and name arrays (use the same array index).

Thanks! But don't worry, I already solved it:
