HM Player Animation Help?

[39Gamer]

I have started to work on a code for the player to animate (hold pokeball in the air like in gen 4 & 5) when he/she uses a HM, i've started on cut and I get a syntax error.. i figured this code would work.. what am i doing wrong? sorry i am new to scripting.. i will also need a script to use a different image for the female character.
heres the code:

#===============================================================================
# Cut
#===============================================================================
def Kernel.pbCut
  if $DEBUG ||
     (HIDDENMOVESCOUNTBADGES ? $Trainer.numbadges>=BADGEFORCUT : $Trainer.badges[BADGEFORCUT])
    movefinder=Kernel.pbCheckMove(:CUT)
    if $DEBUG || movefinder
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("This tree looks like it can be cut down!\1"))
      if Kernel.pbConfirmMessage(_INTL("Would you like to cut it?"))
        speciesname=!movefinder ? $Trainer.name : movefinder.name
        Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} used Cut!",speciesname))
        pbMoveRoute($game_player,[
          PBMoveRoute::Graphic - "trchar000cut', 0, 2, 0
          pbWait(4)
          PBMoveRoute::Graphic - "trchar000cut', 0, 2, 1
          pbWait(4)
          PBMoveRoute::Graphic - "trchar000cut', 0, 2, 2
          pbWait(4)        
          PBMoveRoute::Graphic - "trchar000cut', 0, 2, 3
          pbWait(20)         
        ])        
        pbHiddenMoveAnimation(movefinder)
        return true
      end
    else
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("This tree looks like it can be cut down."))
    end
  else
    Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("This tree looks like it can be cut down."))
  end
  return false
end

HiddenMoveHandlers::CanUseMove.add(:CUT,proc{|move,pkmn|
   if !$DEBUG &&
      !(HIDDENMOVESCOUNTBADGES ? $Trainer.numbadges>=BADGEFORCUT : $Trainer.badges[BADGEFORCUT])
     Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Sorry, a new Badge is required."))
     return false
   end
   facingEvent=$game_player.pbFacingEvent
   if !facingEvent || facingEvent.name!="Tree"
     Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Can't use that here."))
     return false
   end
   return true
})

HiddenMoveHandlers::UseMove.add(:CUT,proc{|move,pokemon|
   if !pbHiddenMoveAnimation(pokemon)
     Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} used {2}!",pokemon.name,PBMoves.getName(move)))
   end
   facingEvent=$game_player.pbFacingEvent
   if facingEvent
     facingEvent.erase
     $PokemonMap.addErasedEvent(facingEvent.id)
   end
   return true
})

Cheers.

PBMoveRoute::Graphic - "trchar000cut', 0, 2, 0

What is this? Are you trying to subtract from a number (PBMoveRoute::Graphic=41) a string that start with double quotes and ends at single quotes? This array declaration is totally wrong!

Well I'm not all that good at scripting mate

I'm confused about what the script is trying to do. Are you trying to edit the TM/HM animation by having the player be involved somehow?

One possible method is to do something like what Surf does. It doesn't change the graphic in that definition, it calls pbStartSurfing. Doing something like this might work. You'll have to edit def Kernel.pbUpdateVehicle to include your charset and for you to be able to call it.

It might be a bit complicated, but I think something like that might be easier than the way you're trying to do it
