I am trying to make a person give you money, but once i compile the script, then i exit out and go back to it, the script is blank. I think there might be a problem with my script, can someone help me?

'---------------
#org 0x000000
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x000000 MSG_NORMAL '"Here have some money."
givemoney 00002710 MSG_OBTAIN
release
end

'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x000000
= Here have some money.




also how do i tell how much money the person is giving?

Don't compile it to '0x000000'. Try something around 0x800000. And for the text, don't put the same offset that you put at the top of the script. Add like 0x100 to it (so that'd be 0x800100 or whatever).
Or you could just use dynamic offsets...

thanks, i didnt compile it to 0x000000, i just change that for this. But i did change the offset for the text and that worked. Thanks again

Both thethethethe's scripting tutorial and diego's XSE adaptation of said tutorial explain how to do that in detail.

Heres what happened when i tried on Emerald

is it worth transferring over from Pokescript to XSE

Yes it is.
It's easier to learn and has some great features.
I think most people these days use XSE.

Cheers Will take your advice, shame really i liked Pokescript.

Howdy I just have a quick question:

I am getting this error when trying to compile: "Error 13 "Type Mismatch" on line 9. Missing #define"
Here is the exact code:


And thanks in advance.This is just a test script, and because of that error I can't do any YES \ NO msgboxs.

Hi,
I tried to make a person talk to me.
So i made the Script that was described here.
#Dynamic 0x800000

#ORG @Start
Lock
FacePlayer
Message @speak
BoxSet 0x6
Release
End

#ORG @Speak
= Hi!!

But when I'm trying to Compile it, it says that there is something wrong in line 6 (Message @speak)
But i don't know why...

i know it sounds really stupid but how do I know what the offset is? (im a n00b)

I followed everything for the tutorial Darthron but when I paste the offset in A map and it says for some reason no script aditor defined.
I would appreciate help from cooley, 0mega and other sgood scripters
Thanks~

Well, this tut is for an old XSE. So, copying a script wouldn't work anyway :\

Out of curiosity, where would you find a more recent tutorial?

Oh boy, get ready for a wall of text.

An offset is a location in a ROM.
For instance. 0x800000

0x800000 is found in a ROM< at byte number 0x800000, this could be the pointer to an image, or trainer battle data, or whatever it may be, in a scripters case, it is often the offset used to put our scripts.
Why? Because there is A LOT of free space in a ROM there, that is why!
Now, using a scripting engine, like XSE, we can write 0x800000 as our dynamic starting point! (This means that we tell XSE to start looking for free space at 0x800000.)
The reason it is called dynamic is because it wont need to be 0x800000 all the time, so XSE changes it for us, so we don't have to search for free space any more. It, DYNAMICALLY CHANGES! WOOT.
Anywho, offsets are used in many places for a ROM hacker.
For instance, a ROM hacker working in Advance Map may need a scripts offset to give to an overworld, and make it so when you talk to the person, or step on the tile, an even will happen.
A scripter may have a script in there hack, that points to a script they already put in there hack, so they will point the script at that offset to use it, instead of re-writing it, and putting it in twice.
Even artists that make new pixel art need offsets, so they know where to insert there images... as a hacker, you WILL be using offsets often, so get to know your rom hacking terms, any questions? Ask it in the simple question thread, located HERE http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=79614.
Be sure to be nice, and if you are not answered right wait, wait about 10 posts, and ask again.
