Dream eater should only activate if a user is asleep.
Since this isnt the case it seems to be trying to do damage anyways
and because of that will only do minimal damage.

What do you make of this

Code:
SetAttackBaseDamage(138,100)
SetAttackMaxPP(138,15)
SetAttackCategory(138,1)
SetAttackContestCategory(138,1)
SetAttackType(138,13)
SetAttackPriority(138,0)
SetAttackAccuracy(138,255)
SetAttackAttackCategory(138, 2)
SetAttackSpecialAttackDelegate(138, "ATTACKS_PSYCHIC_DREAM_EATER_SPECIAL")
SetAttackPreAttackDelegate(138, "ATTACKS_PSYCHIC_DREAM_EATER_PRE_ATTACK")no, that is special category, specialdamage attack category. the problem is preattack either isnt happening, the function that checks status effect isn't working, or absolute damage isn't working. the pre attack checks for target for sleep, if the target is not asleep it sets the store string to 0 or 1, it also sets absolute damage to 0 if the target is not asleep, sets it to -1 if it is (-1 means no absolute damage, calculate damage off power, STAB, type, etc)

Code:
function ATTACKS_PSYCHIC_DREAM_EATER_PRE_ATTACK()
-- we set the absolute damage and store to tell the battle and special how this check turned out
if Attacks_GetTargetStatusEffect("target") ~= "asleep" then
Attacks_SetStore("0")
-- make it do no damage but still attack, so special attack can trigger
Attacks_SetAbsoluteDamage(0)
else
-- if absolute damage is set to -1 it goes back to calculating based on type, STAB, crit, power etc
Attacks_SetAbsoluteDamage(-1)
Attacks_SetStore("1")
end
endor
should the SetStore("1")
come before the SetAbsoluteDamage
those would make no difference. ~= means 'not equal' in LUA, <> in BASIC and != in most other things

gahhhhhh! i want to learn how to pick up on these things so i can better help people.
please just show me where it goes wrong and why
Code:
SetAttackBaseDamage(138,100)
SetAttackMaxPP(138,15)
SetAttackCategory(138,1)
SetAttackContestCategory(138,1)
SetAttackType(138,13)

-- we set the absolute damage and store to tell the battle and special how this check turned out

Attacks_SetAbsoluteDamage(0)
else
-- if absolute damage is set to -1 it goes back to calculating based on type, STAB, crit, power etc
Attacks_SetAbsoluteDamage(-1)
Attacks_SetStore("1")
end
end
function ATTACKS_PSYCHIC_DREAM_EATER_SPECIAL()
if Attacks_Store == "1" then
--the target was asleep, drain
local restore = math.floor(Attacks_DamageDealt / 2)
if restore <= 0 then
restore = 1
end
Attacks_AddBattleStep("GainHP", Attacks_TargetString .. "|" .. tostring(restore))
Attacks_AddBattleStep("Message", Attacks_PrimaryTargetName .. " dream was eaten!")
else
--the target is awake, do nothing. it also would not have done damage
Attacks_AddBattleStep("Message", "But it failed...")
end
end
Code:
function ATTACKS_PSYCHIC_DREAM_EATER_PRE_ATTACK()
--THIS IF MIGHT NOT BE WORKING
-- we set the absolute damage and store to tell the battle and special how this check turned out
if Attacks_GetTargetStatusEffect("target") ~= "asleep" then
--THIS SEEMS TO WORK I THINK
Attacks_SetStore("0")
-- make it do no damage but still attack, so special attack can trigger
--THIS MIGHT NOT BE WORKING
Attacks_SetAbsoluteDamage(0)
else
-- if absolute damage is set to -1 it goes back to calculating based on type, STAB, crit, power etc
Attacks_SetAbsoluteDamage(-1)
Attacks_SetStore("1")
end
endok its just a minor bug dont fight no kay?
lolololololololo
but it shouldnt giv damage and it should appear just "But it failed..."
not "its not very efective" am i right?

we used to have a function that did the player's strike then the ai opponent's strike, with slightly different code, this was merged into a single function that just executes a move, (ai and input related stuff went elsewhere). this function knows both the target string for the target, and the user, pre attack is being fed the user, but this means theres a nice way for me to give a scripter the user's target string instead of just inverting the target string. will make it easier to keep the attacks working when double battles are brought in. if i make any changes to the api i'll try and get it into the patch notes
the damage being done (1) is actually not related to the script at all
this happens after damage is calculated, on easy even 0 damage becomes 1. i will make sure it checks to see if the attack is being forced to do no damage by the script.
the rest of the script is working fine, it does not regen unless the preattack says it should, and in 0.29 it never will, because YOU have to be asleep for it to work and if you are you can't use it. i'll get nils to fix up that bad function call and add some checks for absolute damage to stop that stuff doing 1 damage and triggering other messages
Code:
If target0 = "0" Then
If IsTrainerBattle = False And Basic.Player.DifficultyMode = 0 Then
damage += 1
End If
Else
If IsTrainerBattle = False And Basic.Player.DifficultyMode = 0 Then
damage -= 1
End If
End Ifthe rest of the script is working fine, it does not regen unless the preattack says it should, and in 0.29 it never will, because YOU have to be asleep for it to work and if you are you can't use it. i'll get nils to fix up that bad function call and add some checks for absolute damage to stop that stuff doing 1 damage and triggering other messages
