XSE Scripting Tutorial

[DemonParia]

Ugh! I've been working on this for a while. I'm using XSE (XSE is AWESOME) and put this script on it. However, it reports an error on the line 'givepokemon 3 100 1'. This is the full script:

#dynamic 0x2E4FB7
#org @begin
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x200
if B_true goto @done
message @person
boxset 6
givepokemon 3 100 1
setflag 0x200
release
end

#org @done
message @person2
boxset 6
release
end

#org @person
@person = Ah! Hello, NIKOLAI. The POKéMON\nyou wanted is here.\pTake it, and deposit the money\nlater.

#org @person2
@person2 = Wait! You're not NIKOLAI!\pHmm. The POKéMON seems to like you.\nI guess you can keep it.



I just want to know if I'm using the right givepokemon thing.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x2E4FB7

#org @begin
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x200
if B_true goto @done
message @person
callstd 0x6
givepokemon 0x3 0x100 0x1 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x200
release
end

#org @done
message @person2
callstd 0x6
release
end

#org @person
@person = Ah! Hello, NIKOLAI. The POKéMON\nyou wanted is here.\pTake it, and deposit the money\nlater.

#org @person2
@person2 = Wait! You're not NIKOLAI!\pHmm. The POKéMON seems to like you.\nI guess you can keep it.

After the 'givepokemon' command, 0x(pokemon's pokedex number translated into hex) 0x(level) 0x(item number in hex) always add 0x0 0x0 0x0.

When I do what you said, there is still an error on the line 'givepokemon' even with doing what you said to do. "Error 6 Overflow on line 10. Wrong parameter type. Line: givepokemon 0x3 0x100 0x1 0x0 0x0 0x0"

So, what now?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out.

Trainer help, please.

I want to make a trainer, but i don't know how to put in the pokemon of the trainer..
Can someone tell me how to do that?

 

[Madridista]

For that you will need A-tack, I suppose.

You need a trainer editor for that. Ask in the Simple Questions if you need more help on this subject.

No. >_>

It would seem your ROM is corrupt. Try putting the script into a new offset, and if it still happens, then you'll need to start again (unless you have back ups).

I don't think his #dynamic was actually free space, because I found that some clusters of FFFF~etc are actually, in some obscure way, required by the ROM.
Any free space past 0x800000 (half the ROM size) is usually safe.
Also, its \n, not /n.

My XSE gives an error on these words:
- Lock
- FacePlayer
- Release
- End

I don't get it. Can someone help? Please??

Time to re-download? It should work.

Try this:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @potion
giveitem 0x13D 0x1
end

or

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @potion
giveitem 0x13D 0x1 0x0
end

Hope that helps.

Thanks, it works. Only now they keep giving the item xD. But i don't mind, it's really handy.

Whenever I go to Open, before I can compile, it can never find the rom right for some reason. Any way to fix this?

Yes, because you need a flag:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @potion
checkflag 0x1001
if B_TRUE goto @end
giveitem 0x13D 0x1 0x0
setflag 0x1001
end

#org @end
release
end

Anyway, since it's a person, it would be nice it he/she says something else and not just give you the item.

Could you explain a bit more what do you mean exactly?

 

[Roland Auron]

When I go to file and open to open the rom, I go where my rom is at, where it always is, and when I open the folder it says the folder is empty, but when I open it normaly through the desktop the rom is right where it should be.

You need to select GameBoy Advance ROMs from the Open dialog, indeed.

 

[Roland Auron]

Where do I go to change that?

Where do I go to change that?

There's an Open button in the toolbar. Click it and and Open dialog will be shown. From there, you'll see a combobox where "Script Files" is selected by default.

Mmkay, I'm a scripting noob, not gonna lie.
I followed the tutorial and understand basic scripting.
How do I
1) Make it so after the script the player moves a certain direction? [Say down 1 space.]
2) After another event, this script isn't there anymore? [Like with the old guy in FR before/after you get the Pokedex].

 

[Roland Auron]

Whenever I click the open button it goes to my documents, so I do not see anything about Open dialog. Sorry I am very new to this.

At the bottom right of the documents thingy, it will say it's only looking for rubikons, it's a drop-down menu, click to and change it to gameboy advance roms

1) You just need to use the applymovement command (plus waitmovement 0x0).
The applymovement command has 2 params. The first one is the people number, the second is the pointer to the movements. For movements, see the tutorials around here.

2) In this case you need to use checkflag/setflag.
