    Have you ever decompiled E4 script?
    There are tons of flags to choose from =)

    Sorry, I misinterpreted the question...I was thinking that dido was referring to a custom e4 script, rather than one of the existing ones...

    ...in that case, of course there are probably tons to choose from :D
    (I never have decompiled an e4 script...yet. I'm fairly new to scripting)

    As David said you needed goto function instead of call.
    I would suggest using call only in special cases when you need to jump from one script to for example existing one in ROM =)

    Setting a sprite to Hidden causes the game to restart, so it's not the script that's doing it.

    You can either change it to the Hidden movement type that's at the end of the list of movement types instead of the one near the top, or (I recommend) setting the OW's Person ID # to 2c, which hides any sprite (in Fire Red) like it isn't there. The problem with the Hidden command is that the sprite is still there, and can be bumped into and interacted with - it just can't be seen. Setting the ID as 2C makes it as if the sprite isn't even on the map.

    I've been at it for the past hour, trying to fix this script myself, but I have to humbly ask for the community's help on this one.

    First time scripting, what really confuses me is the simplicity of this script, I just don't understand why it won't work.

    Spoiler:

    lol the irony. When I go to talk to the NPC to whom I've assigned the script, the game doesn't freeze or anything. I hear the talking click sound, but no text box comes up. I'm not locked toward the NPC, nor does he immediately face me after pressing A. In fact, he seems to only face me after pressing A twice. As far as I can tell, there's no problems with the script. I'm thinking its probably an offset issue or something of the like.

    Try a different offset, that one is really low. It's most likely the cause of the problem. At least, it would be for me.

    Also, this problem happens with certain emulators, too, so it could be that.

    I tried using the offset A006AE this time, same thing. The person behaves as if I'm talking to it, but no still no text box.

    Using VBA 1.7.2.

    It seems there were some random new lines, and also if you were compiling it as you posted it wouldn't work as you specified the pointers in hex. :/ Try the code in the quote now.

    Yes, the 8 will be there because it is a hex pointer.

    From diegoisawesome's scripting tutorial:

    diegoisawesome said:
    0x6
    Spoiler:
    Click to expand...

    You are using msgbox 0x6 (msg_normal). The sprite will not face you, or lock the sprite in place, so it will still move around.

    You want to use msg_face, or msgbox 0x2.

    Could someone PM me a little bit of advice please? I want to make an event like the Pokemon tirathlon like on the anime, but I simply don't know how to. It would occur from 12PM to 6PM in the Safari Zone.

    In fact, I don't know how to script anyways because I don't have the correct programs to do so. So, could you include all programs that I'd need in order to make very advanced script events for my game in the PM please?

    Thanks in advance.

    This has been driving me crazy for the longest time. I see no problems with the script itself, I double check advance map settings and all the offsets are correct but the sprite does absolutely nothing when I talk to it in game. Any Ideas as to whats wrong?

    As a side note, if you're just starting your hack, working on FireRed would be better than LeafGreen imo as there will be more support and research done into it.

    At the moment you're using XSE 1.1, rather than the 1.1.1 version. Another person was having the same problem a few posts above and when they changed to the new version everything began working. Download the updated XSE and try it out :)

    Thanks man, this fixed the problem!
    I guess I was using the wrong message box.

    I also updated to XSE 1.1.1 and switched to fire red, it seems to running smoothly!!

    As soon as you take care of one problem another comes up -__-
    Spoiler:


    For some reason, the script stops just ends after the message and doesn't move the player down, I thought I had to put waitmovement in, but that didn't solve it either.
