    Okay, so I was wondering how you would be able to have a sprite, like professor oak in pallet town, be able to be invisible before activating any "disappear" scripts, and then appear at a later time? By the way, I'm using pksv.

    I don't get what you mean here. Do you mean to say like a certain event has to be triggered first before Prof. Oak (or the sprite you want) wants to appear first? For that, you'll be needing some sort of flag or a var.

    I know how to make a sprite disappear and reappear, what I can't seem to figure out is how to make it so that, like professor oak at the beginning of fire red, he begins by not being there, without any scripts (or at least not any that I know of) having activated to make him that way.

    There are map-scripts that trigger when you enter a map. They move and hide sprites or change tiles.

    Some flags (such as Oak's one) are set when the New Game option is selected. It's not done by a script, but by Assembly.

    I'm having major problems with sprites reappearing even when I use setflag and hidesprite. They are gone temporarily, and will appear again some time when I come back to the map. If I leave the map and come back right after the script has occurred, they will be gone. However, if I go off and train my Pokemon, continue on the story, etc, the sprite will reappear when I come back. I am not reusing flags, and the flags are in the 2000's and 4000's ranges, so they're definitely not interfering with flags already put into the game.

    I'll just write a random script that would normally hide the sprite:
    Code: 
    #dynamic 8000000

#org @start
trainerbattle 0x1 0xA 0x0 @a @b @c (I have no idea if the 2 and 3 lines are switched up or not; don't even worry about it.)
release
end

#org @c
msgbox @d MSG_FACE
fadescreen 0x1
hidesprite 0x4 (Yes, I know it's the Person Event No.)
setflag 0x2542 (Yes, I know it's the Person ID.)
fadescreen 0x0
release
end

msgbox @a
= Hey!\pLet's battle!

msgbox @b
= Argh!  You won!

msgbox @d
= I'll see you around.\pGoodbye!

    When trainers like the above reappear, nothing happens when you interact with them; you just hear a clicking noise.

    If it's just a simple one like this..
    Code: 
    #dynamic 8000000

#org @start
checkflag 0x820
if 0x1 goto @did
msgbox @hi MSG_FACE
release
end

#org @did
msgbox @bye MSG_FACE
fadescreen 0x1
hidesprite 0x3
setflag 0x3500
fadescreen 0x0
release
end

#org @hi
= I am the door guarder.\pYou must have the 1st badge\nto enter this door.

#org @bye
= Wow!\pYou got the first badge?\nWell, I guess I must leave.

    ...the sprite, when it reappears, will perform the script again (says bye, screen fades, sprite disappears). Then, if you come back some random time after you progressed in the game more, he'll be there again.

    This would happen to me whenever I would use flags above 1000 to hide OWs. As far as I know, using flags lower than 1000 is the only way to fix it.

    Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! (Each o is a bucket of thanks)

    Also, I've used flags in the 1000's range that work just fine. 4000's works fine too. Obviously, 2000's does not.

    • Sorry guys, but I have another question for you pksv users out there. I'm working on a team rocket script in which I want the player to battle a grunt, and, after completing the fight, keep on going with the script, like how gym leaders talk after you have battled them.
    I've had to use the script generator to create the battle part of the script, as I don't understand what the values mean in the command:

    trainerbattle 0x? 0x? 0x? @intro @defeat

    I get that the second value is the trainer id, but what are the first and third ones? And does anyone know how to continue a script after a battle without releasing the player first?

    From Reference as of 06-03pm 09-24-11, DavidJCobb:
    Arguments:
    byte type
    word index
    word local_id
    pointer intro
    pointer loss
    pointer extra (run script after battle)
    pointer extra2 (not used often)

    Set "type" to 1 or 2 and use the last four arguments accordingly.

    You should really search around before asking stuff like that.

    This might be a n00b question, but so far, I haven't found a way for the game to check if you have a certain wild pokemon before continuing. If there is already a "checkpokemon" command, then can u explain how to use it? If not, I kinda have a hint of where to start:
    Spoiler:

    I dont know exactly how to do it, but I'm on the right track.
    Also:
    Spoiler:
    Click to expand...

    Special 0x17C is the special which checks the Pokémon in FireRed. Since 0x15FD60 is the Specials Table, you can use that to find 0x15FD60 + (0x17C x 4). Then you go to where the pointer tells you, go forward six bytes and try finding the next twenty bytes in whichever version you want to do it on. Then find out which special it is.

    Once you've got that working, proceed to do it how you would normally do it:
    Code: 
    [B]setvar[/B] 0x8004 0x[[I]Pokémon[/I]]
[B]special2[/B] 0x8004 0x[[I]Special[/I]]
etc.

    Beware though, because the routine is only complete in FR/LG for sure. You will need to test it before actually using it. (For example, in Emerald the routine is completely bare-bones and will require you to edit it to conform to how it's supposed to work.)

    Game: FireRed v1.0 - All cleaned out of scripts
    Scripteditor: PKSV (newest)

    What I want to do is to activate the @birthday script as soon as the hero enters the room from upstairs and gets the player to his mom as she will talk to him(for the first time). I can get the right moves to work for myself I think, but not the script that tells him to get to his mom.
    But I really don't know how to do get the @birthday script to work as soon as he enters the room, so that's my question! Can you help me with that?

    P.S: I think that the @birthday event won't repeat itself because of the checkflag, right? And it's my first script, haven't even debugged it yet, so if there's any mistake in it, please point it out for me :)

    I think you should use level scripts. I'm still a novice in scripting but I'm pretty sure you need to use level scripts if you want a script to execute upon entering a map. A member, cooley, has compile a nice tutorial in the Tutorials' section, if you like to have a look; however, the scripting environment used is presumably XSE. I doubt you'll have trouble converting as I heard the two syntax are awfully similar. I hope this is what you are looking for.

    Thanks, I'll check! This is my first "difficult" script, and I only am practising since last night,
    so I don't know all the terms yet! But I'll keep levelscripting in thd back of my head! :) And it isn't hard to convert, tried it for a couple of times.
    Thanks for the help anyways!

    Hi I was just wondering if it would be possible to take a pokemon out of your party with a script, like givepokemon, but in reverse. Pretty much the player will be lent a pokemon and give it back later.

    There is no basic scripting command that will allow you to do that. However, HackMew did make an ASM routine that will allow you to do this. If you don't know how to insert ASM then you could use metapod23's script, but HackMew's routine is far better. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to learn how to put ASM into a ROM.

    After applymovement you need waitmovement. Other than that there doesn't seem to be any other errors, most likely you have the script var value/number messed up in A-map. Double check that.

    My question is kinda silly, but after I set a tile through a script how do I make it update the map immediately. So far I have
    fadescreen 0x1
    setmaptile 0x14 0x1A 0x358 0x0
    fadescreen 0x0
    but that didn't work out :/

    Hi, I'm new at scripting and on this community page. As far as i've read the threads and posting I'm very impressed about the knowledge and abilities in scripting. Well, but im posting because my script(s) don't work.

    I use AM 1.92 and the latest XSE version. I'm hacking the german 1.0 Version of Ruby. I designed a giveitem with flag, a givepokemon with flag, a wildbattle script with flag and setmaptile, one trainerbattle and two warps. I deleted all former header scripts from my map so that there is none in the header. As long as i don't leave the map everything works fine. But after I leave and get back and after a wildbattle in the gras my sprite won't move, but I somehow move the camera and can even get to wildpokemon battles. It's really creepy. When I somehow accomplish to leave the map again then I can move my sprite again. I Hope someone can help.

    You should replace the first 0x0 with 0x3.
