    • I'm trying to make the hero move backwards, keeping him from continuing until you talk to the rival. Everything works perfectly, even the message not showing up after you talk to your rival. The problem is the movement doesn't work at all. It's the same with every other script I try and have the hero move. I can get other sprites to move, just not the hero. Is there something wrong with my script, or is the problem in Advance Map?

    you forgot to include the command "waitmovement 0" after your applymovement command. ;)

    I had a problem similar to this while editing the sign's infront of Red and Green's houses. All I had to do was rewrite the script. Do you use the text adjusters in XSE? That usual fixes most of your problems.

    That doesn't work. It doesn't matter what I put in at that line, it always reduces it to E? when I close and re-open the script.

    It's actually "waitmovement 0x0", just sayin'.
    Click to expand...
    XSE accepts decimal notation for all numeric values with the possible exception of ROM/RAM offsets. Decimal 0 and hexadecimal 0x0 are equal to each other and equally syntactically valid.

    Thanks for the help! But do I have to include it after every single applymovement I use? The guide I'm using for XSE isn't very clear about this.
    Click to expand...
    Only if you want the script to pause and wait for the movements to finish before running any further commands.

    Remove the red. That needs to be a string and hence can't have commands. The commands can be safely removed since the script that shows that string also runs them.

    Thank you. I have to ask another question about this particular script;
    If I wanted to make the player stay still while the movements were applied and message boxes displayed, what would I do? As of now the movements/message boxes are only enacted when I walk up to the character and talk to them; I want it to happen automatically.

    Code: 
    #org @start
 checkflag 0x828
 if 0x0 goto @hey! 
if 0x1 goto @nightmare 
end  

#org @hey! 
setflag 0x828 
lock 
applymovement 0x4 @alert 
waitmovement 0x0 
msgbox @awake 0x6 
release 
end  

#org @awake 
= [player], wake up! \nwe're here. We're here, \nplayer. 
 #org @alert 
#raw 0x56 0xFE 

 #org @nightmare 
checkflag 0x828 
if 0x0 goto @hey! 
if 0x1 goto @okay 
 #org @okay 
lock 
faceplayer 
msgbox @feeling 0x6 
release
end  

#org @feeling 
= [player], \nare you feeling okay? \nYou looked like you were \nhaving a nightmare.

    You would need a scriptbox for that.

    He gives a whole video lesson on it. It's much easier than me typing it out, and it still being confusing. xP

    What command is used in XSE to give the hero the national pokedex?
    I did look around but could not find it
    Click to expand...

    special 0x16F

    This just activates the national dex after you get the pokedex. You still need to add the message and sound effect if you want.

    Scroll down to the special section of the guide for a example.

    • What my script does is after you leave the house, Oak's assistant brings you and your rival to Oak's lab and they both go inside. (Don't point out that I haven't added the part for the door animation yet).

    I want these two sprites (Rival and Oak's Assistant) to dissapear from Pallet town after this script finishes running, and they do temporarily but after I come out of Oak's lab, they're back out in front of the house you started at. How can I get them to dissapear permanently? They only need to appear once.

    Rival's Person num=4 Event num=5
    Assistant Person num=5 Event num=6

    You have to make their person number (I think, whichever one is easily changeable) the same as a flag, then you set the flag of their person number. For example, I make their person number 4A, I must setflag 4A to make them disappear.

    0 in decimal is same as 0x0 which is in hexadecimal.

    I would suggest you to do it.
    It's better and you won't get errors.

    I'm currently working on a Fire Red total modification. Currently, I've gotten to Route 4 of my world, where you must battle Team Rocket. I'm having problems with making Team Rocket disappear after you fight the leader of the group of them.

    I'm using XSE and Advance Map 1.92

    Here are Person event no.'s:
    1 (Basic guy you talk to)
    2 (Another basic guy you talk to)
    3 (The guy you battle that has the hiding scripts)

    This is the script I put for the guy you battle:


    '---------------
    #org 0x7A4DB8
    trainerbattle 0x1 0x21A 0x0 0x87A4DE4 0x87A4E03 0x87A4E6C
    end

    '---------------
    #org 0x7A4E6C
    msgbox 0x87A4E29 MSG_FACE '"TEAM ROCKET, escort me to\nSURLANK..."
    fadescreen 0x1
    setflag 0x2008
    hidesprite 0x1
    hidesprite 0x2
    hidesprite 0x3
    fadescreen 0x0
    setflag 0x258 (This flag is to get ride of a policeman guarding Route 5 once you exit the house you're in with Team Rocket)
    release
    end


    '---------
    ' Strings
    '---------
    #org 0x7A4DE4
    = I am not who you think I am.

    #org 0x7A4E03
    = How could someone like you beat me?

    #org 0x7A4E29
    = TEAM ROCKET, escort me to\nSURLANK CITY!

    --------------------------
    I set all of the characters' person ID's to 2008.
    After I battle the leader, the screen does fade, and all the characters do disappear. However, sometimes when you come back, they will either be there or not. When they are there, nothing will happen if you try to talk to any of them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It could be the flag, some are temporary. Try setting them all to flag 0x258. It's more efficient, and you already know it works.

    The reason when he says nothing when you return is because you already battled him, so the script goes straight to the 'end' command in 0x7A4DB8

    For some reason my signposts in my rom hack arn't working. I did the live update to XSE 1.1 and i can't think of anything else seeing as i followed diegosawesome tutorial correctly.

    Replace '@' for '$'
    Try this.
    Spoiler:


    I think it's just the small errors like 'lock' and 'release'.
    Also, for sign boxsets, always use 0x6.
    I don't know what 0x3 is but when I tested it, it didn't work.
    Hopefully, this should solve your problem.

    You need to add waitmovement 0x0 after any applymovement. For example:
    Spoiler:


    AND you've made a typo error in your script.

    [qoute] #org @move
    #raw 0x12
    #raw 0xEF [/quote] It's #raw 0xFE. You've put 0xEF.

    Hope this helps!
