I have a script that works perfectly, until I reach the end of it. It's a movement script where someone comes and gives you three Pokemon, after that they go away, then when they reach their final spot the player warps into the middle of nowhere, I know they warp because I looked at the script to try and fix it with the 'Open Script' in AM, using XSE. I didn't add the warp, but everytime I remove it and fix the end it comes back up in the game and then the script.

I don't know whats causing the problem or have any idea about it, but it would be good if someone can help me here. I don't think anythings wrong with the script but if you need it I can post it.

maybe post your script in this thread?

Liquid Shadow · Nov 8, 2008

Hey all. I have 2 more questions.
1. How do I continue a script after a warp? I heard it's called a level script or something.. How would I go about making a level script?

2. In the beginning of Firered, Professor oak is hidden until you try to go into the grass. (meaning his sprite was hidden, it was visible in Advancemap but not in the game itself). I know you are supposed to use the command hidesprite or something like that.. but how on earth was the sprite hidden without there being a script to hide him in the first place?

Click to expand...

look at the Documents and Tutorials section...
there's a lot of useful and knowledgeable tutorials there like how to apply Level Scripts...

Go to a hex editor and manually change it into whatever you want. The commands have their hex command counterparts in the XSE help thing.

Your script may have compiled wrong.
Can you show us the script please?

Is it possible to use the same script twice even if one of the times you have set something so you can't get it again there. Like:

First 'A' press: Player found a pokeball
Second 'A' press: There is nothing but books here now

and have that script on different things?

Yes, it's simple flag command.

What script compiler do you use? Try recompiling the script again.
I don't see anything wrong with it :\ Do you have the un-compiled script? The original?

Spoiler:

Try this, it's XSE.

But when I put that same script on another thing, it would check the flag and go straight to 2. I want to know if you could make a script which would work on all of the thing

Ofcourse, you need to use a diffirent flag. If you used 0x200 before, use something like 0x201 next time, and so on

To avoid any problems, it's better to use flags like 0x1000, 0x1001... 0x1009, 0x100A, 0x100B ...and so on.

myfavouriteax · Nov 8, 2008

So. Does anyone have any ideas on how to force the seagallop to go wherever you want it to with "special 0x17B"? I'd like it to NOT go to Vermillion or those seven islands.
I read the romhacking newsletter issue two, and it still confused the dickens out of me, so if anyone could help me out, I would be quite grateful.

I know how to do that, I just wanted to know if you could re-use the same script to save space, which now I know you can't

I just learned how to make level scripts, and everything is working fine except for one problem I'm running into. You see I set a flag in the beginning of the game to hide a sprite in one of the houses in pallet town. That flag was 112. So the sprite was hidden. Then I went and made a script that when I talk to a man he leads him to his house, and in his house I put a level script where he gives me a Pokemon (celebi). It all works fine, and I get the Celebi and everything. I made it so that the flag I set in the beginning of the game is cleared when I talk to the man, because I want the sprite in the house that he's leading me to to be visible again. So, the sprite is visible again and all works fine. HOWEVER, my problem is that when I go into the house without talking to the old man, as soon as I enter the house, the game freezes... Or at least the character freezes.

Here are my 2 scripts:

The first one, when the old man leads me to his house (this one works fine)

Looks like you don't know but... It's kinda unsafe to use flags below 0x200, alot of them are used by the game itself..... Change the flag to 0x200 or 0x1000 or whatever (but don't use flags from 0x800, those are special flags as well.)

0m3GA ARS3NAL · Nov 9, 2008

Oooohohohohhohhoooo! You people are going to cry for joy when you get the new XSE...
Anyways... (snicker)... is there a way to have the script check to see if 2 variables are the same, and if soo, continue the script from a different pointer? Like a checkflag, only for 2 pointers?
if so, can I get an example? If it is comparevars, please tell me how exactly to use it

Well, there is nothing wrong in it, Only this:
setflag 0x230
setflag 0x231
warp 0x6 0x0 0xFF
#raw 0x07 0x00 0x0E 0x00
end

You should add an end.

How do you compile it?
Do you: Right click on the script( saved as.rbc), and press compile. You click Assign and search for your rom. Then you press Look(flashlight looking), and copy an offset, and press Assign.
Then File>Burn.

Is that what you do?
