Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

Yo, I'm having trouble with some flags. The basic set-up is that there's an NPC who won't fight you. However, once talking to a signpost event, talking to this NPC will trigger a battle. I'm doing this via a setflag, which only seems to work on the same map. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if flags only apply to the same map. I'm using pksv if that means anything

Code:

#org 0x87408D6
'-----------------------------------
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x87408EB ' Howdy, youngster!\pD...
callstd MSG_LOCK ' Built-in lock command
checkflag 0x911
if true jump 0x87406E3 ' Flag is set
release
end

#org 0x87406E3
'-----------------------------------
trainerbattle 0x0 0x14F 0x0 0x8740703 0x874077D
msgbox 0x87407F6 ' FILLER FILLER FILLER...
callstd MSG_LOCK ' Built-in lock command
checkflag 0x912
if false jump 0x87406C9 ' Flag is unset
end

#org 0x87406C9
'-----------------------------------
checkflag 0x912
if true jump 0x87406E1 ' Flag is set
copyvarifnotzero 0x8000 SECRETKEY
copyvarifnotzero 0x8001 0x1
callstd MSG_OBTAIN ' Obtained the XXXXXX!
setflag 0x912
end

#org 0x87406E1
'-----------------------------------
end

I'm going to clean this up:

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org @start
spriteface 0xFF 0x3
setvar 0x4056 0x1
checkgender
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 goto @girl
compare 0x800D 0x0
if 0x1 goto @boy
end

'---------------
#org @girl
setflag 0x800
end

'---------------
#org @boy
setflag 0x801
end

Now, compile this into your rom. Then, take the offset of @start and put it in the box for Script Offset 2: of map script number 1 in the player's bedroom. Don't change any other settings. Also, find the original script that was map script 0 and restore it to its original place and condition. You were trying to change the wrong one.

I've done exactly that and it STILL doesn't work. I used a clean ROM and re-placed all the characters, set up their flags, and put in the script. I made sure it was script 1 not script 0, and I made sure all the offscripts match. I don't understand whats wrong...

The answer to your problem is something I have said 1000 times answering questions: NO flags over 900. They overwrite the RAM used for vars 4000 and up as well as PC box space. Flags 900-90F exist in var 4000, and flags 910-91F exist within var 4001. (Flags are stored in bits, and each var is 16 bits). These vars are temporary and are reset after leaving the map.

I am going to go test this myself right now. This should be working.

Edit: I compiled it and it worked just fine. Here, let me post a screenshot.

Thanks for the reply. Fortunately I managed to figure it out myself but thanks for the clarification. Funny, pksv said those would be safe :P.

I cannot make the most simple script work. I compiled it and inserted it to a character, but when I interatct with the sprite, it makes the clicking sound and nothing happens.
The game does not freeze. The rom is clean.

That's more or less the problem I've been having. Main difference being sometimes the person makes a clicking noise with nothing happening and sometimes I get a glitchy shop menu. I should probably screenshot or video it to make it clearer to understand...

Double-click the person you gave the script to see if it was properly compiled. Also, make you sure you made no mistake in pointers and that the script was inserted in a free space.
Make also sure that you have XSE v1.1.1 (latest version). (You can download a French version here)

Double-clicking gives me a 'No Script Editor Defined" error. As for my XSE version, I believe it's the up-to-date one (just with the config file included because of the aforementioned subscript 9 error).

But, did you test it out in game? The same compile screen appeared for me, but all 4 people appeared for each gender. I want 2 to appear for either gender.

The problem you had was the script crashing. Mine didn't crash, and I know it worked because the spritefacing command worked. This means that (most likely) the flags were set too, but I didn't actually check.

The most important part here, is not the compile log, but the offsets given. Those settings in A-map: they are settings for my Map Script. Notice, they have the same offset as the compiler log. Those are what I was trying to show you. The only reason XSE was in the picture was so you could see how things lined up.

If XSE was on your computer, and you didn't know, and no one ever told you to use it: would you ever think to use it? No. Which is why this isn't working. You never told A-map to use XSE. Go into one of the top menus (Options, I think) and choose "Define Script Editor" or "Choose Script Editor" (can't remember which, but it is at the bottom of one of the top menus.

First post straight to you guys! tried searching high and lo-tad for it.

Here it is: I want to remove HM05 "Flash" from the game in favor of an item that Oak gives you at the start.

I understand how to make an item given an empty space and have oak give it to you but don't know how to instigate an item into acting as a HM. Help? Thanks!

edit: I could just not have caves :\

I'm pretty sure if you use JPAN's hacked engine, it's a feature, and it's explained in the word document that comes with the patch.

I know how to make an item that would have the same effect as flash: ie A flashlight, if that is the type of thing you are referring to.

As itman said, there is a way in JPAN's engine to create items that run scripts. However, this is not required to be used with JPAN's engine, as you are probably not using it already. In that case, see this thread for a routine which will run a script in an item: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=281573

Now, if you wanted to make an HM type item which teaches a pokemon Flash, that will be much more difficult.

newpick · Mar 25, 2013

Thank you both! I could see why even complex searching wouldn't have yielded that. I could really see this more generalized hack being useful for more things than i could come up with right now!

I wanted to add headbutt trees to my hack, and I found this script by google. It works until after you use headbutt, then the game just doesn't allow you to move, like it's missing somthing. How can this be fixed and actually produce a headbutt encounter?

Spoiler:

It is perfect (except the image looks like it is setting flag 0x001 on the last line instead of 0x801, just an image problem I hope.) The only thing I can think of is you are not starting a new game when you test your script. This script will only run on a completely brand new game start because the variable is changed as soon as the game starts preventing the map script from running again.
