Okay, I'm trying to get this whole scripting thing down. After I write once, save it as an .rbc, open it in Bufrite, and burn it to a ROM, how/where do I find the Offset. All I see after clicking burn is

sega.$showtext (800024)
sega.$hello (800030)

The script was what was used in the first post of this thread.

But to my knowledge, an outset is supposed to be marked like $XXXXXX, the X's representign numbers, right. (sega was the name of my file btw)

i click compile on my script then it says runtime error 5, in valid procedure call or arguement wat is this and how do i fix this

 

[Fendaril]

you guys make fun of all the newbies :P lol

 

[Jack of Bl♠des]

Nevermind, I seem have found the solution to my problem....I forgot to put the "$" when I put the offset in Advance Map -_-;

 

[Jack of Bl♠des]

Your Yes/No script has a minor error. Instead of "B_TRUE" you just need to put in "1". Otherwise you'll get the same result regardless of what you pick.

 

[adamb241]

When I compile the script and hit burn and everything, I put the offsets into A map and then when I go to talk to the guy......The game freezes....What did I do wrong?

Here is my script



#org $showtext
lock
fackplayer
message $Welcome
$Welcome 1 = Welcome, hope you enjoy\pyour stay
boxset 6
release
end

you put "fackplayer" instead of "faceplayer"

 

[Vegeta™]

hey when i compile the mew wildbattle script it say runtime error "457"

"the key is already associated with an element of this collection"

what should i do?

 

[a new killer ramoteh]

Knight,this tutorial isn't trustful
Also,as Night_Black said,go to thetheththe's tutorial!!!!
It has a perfectly working one there

 

[/Circa]

Your not supposed to take scripts from tutorials, your supposed to learn how to script :l
If your not going to learn how to script, simply don't. Copying scripts wont get you anywhere.

 

[PeregrinFig]

I tried creating a script, and when I put it into my LeafGreen rom and checked the sign, I got a boxset 5-type text box with choice of 'FRESH WATER' or 'EXIT', then when I picked one, regardless of which, I got a yes/no box with no options (just a blank space) and when I pressed A everything froze. The same thing happened when I put it on a person, except without the fresh water part. This is my script, can you tell me what's wrong, thanks:

#org $Showtext
lock
faceplayer
message $sign
$sign 1 = OUTSET TOWN\nThe starting point of power
boxset 6
release
end

EDIT: I also tested this on a clean FireRed and Ruby ROM, then a ROM of Pokemon Marble, Quartz, and Mystical Glacier, and it failed on all of them. Is it possible I'm compiling the script wrong? I right-click and choose compile, then when Buf-Rite comes up, I click the bok and select my .gba file, then clcik the searchlight and choose the first offset, then copy the offset code next to $Showtext into A Map. Please help, I really want to know what's wrong here!

 

[Umbreon 27alpha]

Quick question please, for a give item script, what do i assign an offset to? all four of them? or just the first? or what what? Please help! Thanks in advance.

Are you making sure to burn the script to your ROM? The script you showed seems perfectly fine. If you are, then I need to know what you're burning it to. Is it a signpost or a person?

It depends i guess. Are the items all going to be in one script?

I've tried it on both, and had no effect. For a person, is it because I have something wrong with an 'Unknown' variable or People ID? And for a sign, I have no clue how it should be.

 

[kr3shn1k]

THX THIS REALY HELPED!!!!!!!

 

[NTA]

i have a question about the Unknown: 03 00

[Hardy Har Har]

[mattattack]
