Script: I've got two scripts, a character and an itemball. You get your first Pokémon from the itemball. The itemball isn't supposed to disappear after you click on it. I have a flag so that if you click the character or the itemball after clicking the itemball once, they will say different things. The flag works, but if I leave the room and come back in, it seems to be reset: the character will say his first, pre-flag script again, and the itemball will give you a second Pokémon. What am I doing wrong?

The character's script:

The itemball's script:

(In addition, I also don't know how to make a script that can give a Pokémon a nickname--which is why I tried to avoid the issue altogether in the dialogue above--because I haven't found any instructions on how to do that in any tutorials so far. I've gone through several looking for just that. So if anyone could just tell me what that bit of script is, I'd be grateful.)

Screenshots and/or Videos: I don't have any, and in any case, I think this is a simple problem. The flag just seemingly removes itself if I leave the room and come back into it.

I'm not totally sure but I wouldn't use flag number 7. It's one of those flags that probably doesn't work. Use the flags from 200: so 201, 202. Then it might work.

Fixed.

Don't use flag 0x7. Use one that's not being used. And you can find out how to nickname a Pokemon in my tut, located here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=164276.

So, there are some flags that just don't work all together? Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the reason behind why some flags don't work?

The one thing that still concerns me is that the flag DOES work until I leave the room and come back. Is that normal with flags that "don't work," that it will work temporarily and then stop working?

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. I'll try changing the flag. In fact, if it's the flag itself that's messed up and not how I'm using the flag, I might just use the Pokémon menu flag, since I have to set 0x828 anyway.

Why these flags don't work? I don't know but they always reset after exiting the map. So if something with a flag keeps resetting you'll know you got a wrong one.

Ah, thank you! I've been using your tutorial, but somehow managed to miss that section; I guess because when I'm looking for something, I use control-F to find the keyword I need rather than scroll through it. Won't make that mistake again.

Okay, good to know. And that's definitely what's going on with my script. Thanks again!

1. Here's a sample script (I used XSE, and made this for R/S roms):

Spoiler:


2. Make a script checking the "Elite Four beaten" flag (ask the others about that flag, since I have no idea) and put it in the entrance(s) of the area.

Firered scripting

Using XSE i put this script in (modified from a celadon dept store script):
Code: 
'---------------

if 0x1 goto 0x81A7AE0

waitmsg
pokemart 0x871A7EC
msgbox 0x81A5190 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"Please come again!"
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x1A7AE0
release
end

#org 0x1A6211

to change the items at a pokemart. I did this with two pokemarts and the first one worked fine but then this one did this:
problem2.png


My problem should be clear:text off screen item names screwing up; also kinda weird that Ice Beam doesnt screw up.

How do I hide content?

This happens because the game has two ways to treat items in pokemarts: one for showing the picture on regular items, and one for displaying TMs, that shows their number and attack.

The pokemart command gives analizes the data and, if a TM is present, treats all items a TMs. But because normal items don't have TM number or attack, the glitched response appears.

the pokemart2 command, however, always presents pictures, so if really necessary to have both normal items and TMs in the same display, use it instead.

Hey all. This is my first script using the writebytooffset command. It's for pokemon Ruby.
The problem with my script is: It won't write the byte to the offset. What I'm trying to do is change the main player's OW, and I'm using writebytetooffset to change the pointer to the sprite graphics of the player's OW to another pointer to different sprite graphics.

Here is the script

thanks that worked. Is there a limit to the amount of items I can have in a pokemart through scripting. Like can I have one shop person sell all the tms?

You went wrong with offsets... 003718F0 is the BIOS code, and it's Read only... pheraps you wanted to write 023718F0? (the ram (Wram) address)? If you wanted to write ROM's bytes, you cannot do it... Rom (like the name say) is Read-Only-Memory

I wanted to write over the Player OW's offset in the Ram, yes. I took the offset from a hex editor because I assumed that would work. Guess not. Do you know the offset in the memory viewer that points to the main player's OW?
