    • Retrying Post: Changing First Encounter

    I posted this about a week ago, but didn't get a response. So, I'm trying again.

    I'd like to know if there is a way to change which Pokemon you encounter in Pokemon Ruby after you choose your starter. I would like to make this change to a specific Pokemon for an important plot point. I am able to open the scripts that appear on the Route 101 Map using AdvanceMap 1.90 and PKSV. This is the script from the Bag which contains the Pokeballs, but I'm not sure if this is where I start. Any help would be appreciated. I have little experience with scripting, but would like to learn more.


    Code: 
    #org 0x814EA7F
'-----------------------------------

setflag RS_POKEMON
setflag 0x52

    I don't think it's a good idea to edit important script from the game, you will be better of re-writing it so you have more freedom.

    You will have to set your Person ID something higher than 1000.

    Try this:

    fadescreen 0x1
    fadescreen 0x0
    hidesprite 0x[person id]
    setflag 0x[person id]
    release
    end

    You probably have three fadescreens. 0x1 makes the screen go to black, and 0x0 makes it return to normal. So, you probably have an 0x1 after an 0x0.

    fadescreen 0x1
    fadescreen 0x0

    Yes, you do. Hidesprite is the overworld number, and also setflag has 5 numbers.

    You don't use the person ID # for the sprite. Use the Person event # for the hidesprite command (make sure to convert hex if needed - i.e. 0x10 = 0xa ... 0x15 = 0xf).

    The setflag is the person ID, the hidesprite is the person event # - they're different. The flag should be an unused flag in the game.

    You might have too many parameters for the givepokemon command - I'm not sure, I can't remember how many you're supposed to have.

    • Ok I've kinda given up on my Snorlax spript becasue it's unimportant but I need your help on this script.

    It is a Pokeball that is supposed to give you a Poliwhirl and then disappear but when I try it I get the Poliwhirl but it won't disappear. I have the Person ID set to 1201 and the Person Event # is 1 but it still won't work. Can you help meh?

    Code: 
    #org $script
lock
message $poliwhirl
$poliwhirl 1 = Oh!\nHere is my POLIWHIRL.
boxset 6
pause 0x10
message $gotpoliwhirl
$gotpoliwhirl 1 = \v\h01 picked up his POLIWHIRL.
boxset 4
givepokemon 61 5 0x00
setflag 0x828
fadescreen 1
removesprite 1 
setflag 0x1201
setvar 0x6000 0x01
pause 0x10
fadescreen 0
release
end

    Also there is the code to stop someone from leaving the area applied to two script boxes that is supposed to stop the player and tell them they forgot their Poliwhirl but it won't stop the player (it seems every script I make doesn't work). This the reason for the setvar in the above script.

    Code: 
    #org $forgot
jingle
message $youforgot
applymovement 1 $move
$move 1 ; #binary 0x62 0xFE
pausemove 0x0000
$youforgot 1 = Oops!\nI forgot my POLIWHIRL on the\ltable.
applymovemont 1 $move2
$move2 1 ; #binary 0x10 0xFE
pausemove 0x0000
release
end

    Thanks in advance!

    What Metapod said about the flags is true; the flag needs to be different from the person number. Also, parts of your script are in the wrong order. You have the message executing after the script ends and its parameters are wrong.

    Just for this example, we'll use the flag 0x1000 for the person ID. Also, if you're talking to a sprite, you can use LASTTALKED instead of having to manually find the event number. Oh, the givepokemon needs an extra parameter too.

    For your dynamic offset, it is recommended that you start from 0x800000. And using msgbox type 0x2 eliminates the need for lock, faceplayer and release.

    Fixes in quote~

    • How to Make Legendary Pokemon Disappear

    Fist of all, I'm using PKSV and hacking Pokemon Ruby.

    I'm having an issue with my legendary Pokemon scripts with which I cannot figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to make it just like any other legendary battle in the sense that the sprite disappears permanently after you catch or defeat it. I've tried including the command "disappear lasttalked" in the script, but as soon as I move, the sprite reappears. I have also tried to include a map script that activates when you enter. The map script I was using was this:

    Code: 
    #org 0x8740108
'-----------------------------------
checkflag 0x1100
if true call 0x815F312
end

#org 0x815F312
'-----------------------------------
disappear LASTTALKED
return

    I had included a "setflag 0x1100" command in the battle script. Everything with the battle script works perfectly otherwise. Any help would be appreciated.

    Okay, I'm still trying to figure out how to do this. I just tried to change the scripts, FireRed, so that instead of Oak appearing just before you enter the grass on Route One, he appears the moment you set foot on the second row grass tiles. Now when I set foot on the grass Oak appears, but he's invisible and when I enter the lab it's from the back of the building.

    I tried to alter the script on XSE but it's like I can't save any changes to the actual script, what am I doing wrong? Please help.

    Is there a command (XSE) I can use to change the player's OW sprite?

    Not that I know of. It can be done but it depends on what, exactly, you want to do. Most long-term solutions would require ASM but if it's merely temporary, you could use a different OW and "pretend" it's the player.

    What I'm trying to do is; there is a lapras in the seashore that when you talk to it asks if you want to use surf, if yes, it changes your overworld to a custom lapras sprite (with player ontop), and when you reach another part of another city it dismounts you.

    So, how would I change the player's sprite to another one temporary?

    • Creating Landorus Circumstances

    I would like to know if there is any way to recreate the circumstances for being able to battle Landorus in my Pokemon Ruby hack. I'm using PKSV for my script editor. The script works perfectly in all ways for just battling Landorus. But, if possible, I would like to change the script so that you can only battle Landorus if you have Tornadus and Thundurus in your party. In my hack, I have replaced Regirock with Tornadus, Regice with Thundurus, and Registeel with Landorus. Here is the current battle script I have for Landorus, which works perfectly as I said before.

    Code: 
    #org 0x8904092
'-----------------------------------
checkflag 0x27F
if true jump 0x89040C5 ' Flag is set
cry 0xA1 0x193
pause 0x28
msgbox 0x89040CB 
callstd MSG_LOCK ' Built-in lock command
battle registeel 50 NONE
special BATTLE_PIXELLATE
applymovement 0x5 0x89040C7 ' hide walk_up_slow wa...
pauseevent 0x0
setflag 0x27F
release
end

#org 0x89040C5
'-----------------------------------
release
end


#org 0x89040CB
= Laaooooorrr!!!

#org 0x89040C7
M hide walk_up_slow walk_up_slow end
