Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

nalacar · Jun 3, 2013

Game: Fire Red
Editor: XSE 1.1.1
Script: De-Leveler

So I thought of an idea for my hack last night. It seems possible, just not quite there yet. Basically a Pokemon De-Leveler that will choose a Poke from the party and reset it to Lv 1. So Charizard gets de-leveled to Lv 1 essentially.

I already know the problem is with the way Im comparing variables in the second check. Just not quite sure how to make it do what I want. The script functions as normal through the second check, but compare always returns 0x0, never 0x1.

A quick explanation of the two specials used and a few others that may work better.

Spoiler:

Special 0c1 actually does almost everything Im looking for all on its own. Except it doesnt reset the Pokemons attacks. If anyone knows a quick way to reset that data, that might be the simplest way.

Im also unclear as to how to create trades in game. Special 1bb might also work if someone knows how to use that one properly.

The script below is obviously unfinished. The way it is currently set up it will be huge, unless special 0c1 can work for this. I also dont have any framework included yet for taking the original Pokemon away, but that can come later.

I really appreciate the feedback this community always provides.

How can I check if the player has used FLASH?

I have a simple script idea

check if flashused
if no call random number generator
generate number 1-100
if number is under 5 start poke battle
if flash is used jump "release end"

that way no pokebattles will appear after the player uses flash... i just dont know how to check if flash is used...

really i only want 1 pokemon to be limited... all the other pokes wont care about flash... but thats not the point HOW DO I CHECK IF FLASH USED...

so its been a while since ive scripted and i cant seem to get the nickname command to work.
heres what happens. you get a pkmn, then it asks to nickname it, then if the player chooes yes, it takes them to the nickname screen, but after they input the name, they come back to where they were, but the event does not continue afterwards.

you cannot use the command "return" when you are using "goto" or "jump"
if you intend to "return" from the command, you must use "call"

that should fix your issue:
msgbox @nickname 0x5
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 call @name

To elaborate a bit on my previous question... this is how my script looks now:

Spoiler:

the red text is what I would like to replace with something that tells me if they have USED flash, rather than just having it on a team member (like checkattack)

maybe a copybyte or something like that... if anyone knows where the byte containing the info about if the map has been flashed is...

I was making a level script and for some reason every time I include the "hidesprite 0xFF" command, the script either doesn't work or glitches up beyond compare. I don't know why, but when I remove the "hidesprite 0xFF" command the script works perfectly, it's just that when I put it in (and I need it in) it suddenly decides not to work.

waitmovement 0x0
msgbox 0x881A627 MSG_NORMAL '"This is my son, in whom I am well\..."
goto 0x881A5BB

There is a hidesprite command built into the applymovement script. So, instead, use this:

Code:

#org 0x81A59F
lock
applymovement 0xFF @move1
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0x1 0x881A7AE
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox 0x881A627 MSG_NORMAL '"This is my son, in whom I am well\..."
goto 0x881A5BB

#org @move1
#raw 0x60 'hide_sprite
#raw 0xFE

Please note that this will not compile as is. This is just an example to show how to use #raw 0x60 to hide sprites.

I'm no expert, but near the end with the fadesound, did you try putting "waitfanfare" or "waitstate" or whatever it was?

This is my map script,

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @main
checkflag 0x821
if 0x1 goto @clear
setflag 0x250
end

#org @clear
clearflag 0x250
end

How ever the sprites with 250 as ID don't disappear when the badge isn't obtained.

I used [03] On entering map/ not on menu close.

I have tried [02] validates values ... etc with a unused variable.

I have no idea why the script isn't working?

Have you tried entering and exiting the room?

I know this seems very simple but can someone just breakdown that command for me please.

Go into XSE and hit F1. You will find a breakdown of every command.

So what I want to happen is, if flag 901 isn't activated (it becomes activated elsewhere), the script continues execution from @go. If it is, a trainer battle ensues. After the battle is done, flag 900 is set and if he is talked to again, script continues execution from @srs.
What happens instead is, for some odd reason, the script compiles into this:

Spoiler:

As you can see, @go is gone and turns into that uselessness. What happens in the game is, when I click on the guy, all that happens is the "ding" select sound and nothing else. I'm not even locked to him.

First of all, unless you used Jambo's flag hack, no flags over 900. (If you did use it, that info is necessary to share with your script) The problem is the "end" after @srs and @go. Here is a fix:

Code:

Oh my god, I had just gotten up and I didn't read your script properly. This is definitely user error. You are trying to display text without a command. Here:

Code:

checkflag 0x900

Look up the msgbox command.

That... that actually compiled perfectly. WTF?

Anyway, would you happen to know of any way to make it so a trainer doesn't approach you unless a flag is set? Currently, the guy doesn't approach you no matter what.

I think you compiled it, then looked at the old offset by mistake, and didn't realize it. I have done that many timed.

Checkflag 0xXXX
If 0x1 goto @trainer_walk_forward_and_battle

Done. Put that at the begining of the script. This will not work unless it is in a script tile or map script. It can't be attached to a regular OW.
