[0.29] Moves That Need Fixed

[DracoHouston]

ok a little update on progress, nils and i took a look at a few and

-supersonic did the wrong effect not because something was broken, but because in my haste to finish all the normal type attacks i was copy pasting code a LOT, and ended up setting supersonic to use tri attack's special in tri attack's file, lol.
-growth was using harden's special, meaning harden wouldn't increase defense, growth did instead
-a few helper functions i wrote called string.tolower() which is what it is called in .net, but in lua its string.lower, oops

let me know if you find any more. if a attack doesn't work please open the script file and see if it has functions in there, if not, I didn't make that attack work and it is just a placeholder.

i don't need saves anymore, i've put in a much faster way to set up fights for testing

So for Miracle Eye, I can assume it's actually not working since it has the following?

function ATTACKS_PSYCHIC_MIRACLE_EYE_SPECIAL()
Attacks_TryAddVolitileStatus("target", "identifydark")

sandstorm does nothing and sand attack is over powered

sandstorm does nothing and sand attack is over powered

before you comment on this thread, please read the first page.
we specifically say to check all moves on the wiki before saying they dont work, because 9 times out of 10 they're a move that isn't implemented yet and is a placeholder, sandstorm isn't implemented yet.

also, you must've not played the Red and Blue versions and felt the sand-attack wrath of a pidgey, sand-attack has always been and always will be an effective accuracy killer. so adapt to it

im saying he used it once and my pokemon missed every single move from then on

yes, it happens.
accuracy is a very fragile thing. luck was not on your side this time

you got owned by the random number generator. stat change stages are working as intended. while missing a lot of attacks in a row off -1 accuracy is statistically improbable it is still possible

no 'weather' system for battles yet sorry, can't script up sandstorm yet

Attacks_TryAddVolitileStatus("target", "identifydark")

likely, i told nils to add a identifydark and identify volatile status when we merged the LUA attacks system in but he made plenty of mistakes around the place so it might not work

It should also be noted that Leech Seed does not give any indication of being used and does nothing at all. It's like having your turn skipped.

 

[RedemptionVII]

Not sure if its bugged or just me, a wild drowzee cast hynosis and both my pokemon and drowzee gets sleep status.

bullet seed hits only once so i took the liberty of "fixing" it using rock blast as a guide i'm just gonna post the script here and maybe you can include it in the next update (it has been working fine bar the fact that it might keep hitting until hit 5 even if say hit 4 ko'es):
SetAttackBaseDamage(331,25)
SetAttackMaxPP(331,30)
SetAttackCategory(331,0)
SetAttackContestCategory(331,3)
SetAttackType(331,11)
SetAttackPriority(331,0)
SetAttackAccuracy(331,255)
SetAttackPreAttackDelegate(331, "ATTACKS_GRASS_BULLET_SEED_PRE_ATTACK")

function ATTACKS_GRASS_BULLET_SEED_PRE_ATTACK()
local chance = math.random(0, 1000.0) / 10
local times = 0
if chance <= 37.5 then
times = 2
elseif chance > 37.5 and chance <= 75.0 then
times = 3
elseif chance > 75.0 and chance <= 87.5 then
times = 4
elseif chance > 87.5 then
times = 5
end
Attacks_SetTimesToAttack(times)
end

i also worked on rock smash using psychic and leer. (50% defense drop works, animation doesn't don't know why):
SetAttackBaseDamage(249,40)
SetAttackMaxPP(249,15)
SetAttackCategory(249,1)
SetAttackContestCategory(249,0)
SetAttackType(249,1)
SetAttackPriority(249,0)
SetAttackAccuracy(249,255)
SetAttackSpecialAttackDelegate(249, "ATTACKS_FIGHTING_ROCK_SMASH_SPECIAL")
SetAttackHitAnimationDelegate(249, "ATTACKS_FIGHTING_ROCK_SMASH_HIT_ANIMATION")

function ATTACKS_FIGHTING_ROCK_SMASH_SPECIAL()
if Attacks_TryStatChange(50, "target", "Defense", -1) == true then
Attacks_SetStore("1")
else
Attacks_SetStore("0")
end
end

function ATTACKS_FIGHTING_ROCK_SMASH_HIT_ANIMATION()
if Attacks_Store == "1" then
AnimationSequenceBegin()
DoStatChanceAnimation(-1, 0.0)
AnimationSequenceEnd()
Attacks_SetStore("0")
end
end

 

[Filympe]

here's rock tomb for ya as well (also usefull early on):
SetAttackBaseDamage(317,50)
SetAttackMaxPP(317,10)
SetAttackCategory(317,1)
SetAttackContestCategory(317,1)
SetAttackType(317,5)
SetAttackPriority(317,0)
SetAttackAccuracy(317,204)
SetAttackSpecialAttackDelegate(317, "ATTACKS_ROCK_ROCK_TOMB_SPECIAL")
SetAttackHitAnimationDelegate(317, "ATTACKS_ROCK_ROCK_TOMB_HIT_ANIMATION")

function ATTACKS_ROCK_ROCK_TOMB_SPECIAL()
Attacks_AddBattleStep("ChangeStat", Attacks_TargetString .. "|Speed|-1|81")
end

function ATTACKS_ROCK_ROCK_TOMB_HIT_ANIMATION()
AnimationSequenceBegin()
DoStatChanceAnimation(-1, 0.0)
AnimationSequenceEnd()
end

Hey
Nornally with a status affected move it says defence has slightly decreased or anything like that.
But with featherdance the attack should drop harshly but it doesnt say anything like that. In fact it says nothing at all.
My question.
Does featherdance work or is this a bug?
