Impossible to catch pokemon

[davidmottet]

I have this message when i try to catch pokemon
Encountering pokemon Psyduck... Encountering pokemon Rhyhorn... Encountering pokemon Magikarp... Encountering pokemon Exeggcute... { Status: null, MissPercent: null, CapturedPokemonId: null, CaptureAward: null } undefined undefined undefined

Can you help me?

let me see your code

[davidmottet]

It's the same with exemple code :/

[monarchfish]

I think maybe it's goes too fast.
you need to make some delay between every EncounterPokemon and CatchPokemon.

[davidmottet]

Same results

[+] There is a Magikarp near!! I can try to catch it!
[+] There is a Eevee near!! I can try to catch it!
[+] There is a Magikarp near!! I can try to catch it!
[+] There is a Rattata near!! I can try to catch it!
[+] There is a Magikarp near!! I can try to catch it!
Encountering pokemon Magikarp...
{ Status: null,
  MissPercent: null,
  CapturedPokemonId: null,
  CaptureAward: null }

To do that when there are pokemons catchable I engage one by one

[monarchfish]

I think is the same problem, how do you put your delay between them?

Basically you have to wait for your API call to complete before you do another. So in the for loop looking for catchable pokemon, I exit the loop (either return or break) when I find one so it wont go on to the next one until the next heartbeat.

Something like this (I striped out a ton of code for this so I don't know if this works on its own)

function heartbeat(){
    pokeAPI.Heartbeat(function(err,hb) {

        //Find catchable pokemon & catch them if we can
        for (i = hb.cells.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            for (var j = hb.cells[i].MapPokemon.length - 1; j >= 0; j--){
                var currentPokemon = hb.cells[i].MapPokemon[j];
                //found one we can get, GET IT!
                getCurrentPokemon(currentPokemon);
                return;
            }
        }
    });
}

function getCurrentPokemon(currentPokemon){
    pokeAPI.EncounterPokemon(currentPokemon, function(suc, dat) {

        normalized_reticle_size = 1.95;
        spin_modifier = 1;
        normalized_hit_position = 1;
        pokeBallType = 1;

        //throw the ball
        pokeAPI.CatchPokemon(currentPokemon, normalized_hit_position, normalized_reticle_size, spin_modifier, pokeBallType.id, function(err, result) {
            var status = ['Unexpected error', 'SUCCESSFUL CATCH !!!', 'Catch Escape', 'Catch Flee', 'Missed Catch'];                
            console.log(status[result.Status]);             
        });
    }); 

}

sorry, my englis is not very good... i write in spanish.

cree una variable global

var isCatch = false;

y lo que hago es verificar si estoy atrapando uno, que no atrape otro. utilizando un simple IF

a.EncounterPokemon(currentPokemon, function(suc, dat) {
if(!isCatch){
isCatch = true;
console.log('Encountering pokemon ' + pokedexInfo.name + '...');
a.CatchPokemon(currentPokemon, 1, 1.950, 1, 1, function(xsuc, xdat) {
var status = [
'Unexpected error',
'Successful catch',
'Catch Escape',
'Catch Flee',
'Missed Catch'
];
isCatch = false;
console.log(status[xdat.Status]);
//console.log(xdat.Status);
});
}
});
