checkflag 0x(flag) 'This would be your first Pokémon's Poké Ball sprite.
if 0x1 goto @getfire
checkflag 0x(flag) 'Second Pokémon

msgbox @rivalreceives 0x4
closeonkeypress
applymovement 0x?? (The poké ball he is getting) @disappear
waitmovement (or play your fanfare)

...(just do the same as above, just edit it a bit)

#dynamic 0x71A300
msgbox @waitup 0x2
applymovement 0x03 @catchup
waitmovement 0x0
trainerbattle 0x1 0x001 0x0 (or 0x3, I believe, for Oak's explanation) @before @win @after
end

#org @waitup
=Hey, wait up, [player_name]!

#org @catchup...

Read the sections labeled "Message Scripts" and "Msgbox Numbers", in the OP.

When he stops you from going out because you have no Pokemon?

Do some searching for information on "script events". You can set it up so that if someone steps on a certain part of a map while a script variable has a certain value, then a script runs.

(For example, you can run a script if someone steps on the exit to Pallet Town while 0x4055 is set to 0x0000 -- that's exactly what Game Freak did.)

U got my point. But can you show me an example of this script? I don't really know how to decompile and is there anything new to learn besides the flags and variables?

Go to Pallet Town and look at the events. The green "S" blocks are Script events.

If you view their properties, you'll see fields for a "var number" and "var value". What this means is that if variable <number> is set to <value> and the player steps on the tile, the Script event activates.

The script code itself has little to no differences from any other ordinary script, except for one thing: you need to set the variable used to activate the script to some other value. If you don't, then the script will usually run over and over again forever, with the player being unable to step off the tile.

You can see the script code for yourself if you've set up AdvanceMap properly. You can give it the location of a script editor, like XSE, on your hard drive; once you do, you can click "Open script" in AMap to view the code for any event, including Script events. Click the button, and XSE decompiles the script so you can read it.

If your Script event activates when 0x4001 is set to 0x0000, then at the end of your script, you need to use "setvar 0x4001 (anything other than zero)" to deactivate the Script event.

Scripting help:
I need to make a sprite already disappeared and in a certain script it appears for an event and then disappears again (like the PROF. OAK script when he stops us from going to ROUTE 1). I'm hacking FireRed. Please respond!

In AdvanceMap, set the Person event's "Person ID" to a script flag number. In your script, set that flag to hide the Person and clear it to show the Person.

Thanks friend, I never thought of clearflag. Once again, thank you very much!

What else is there to say than THANK YOU? This is by far the most comprehensive tutorial I've found on scripting. I've learned so much in the past few days thanks to you and this tutorial. An essential to any beginner.

Hello people! I have a BIG problem with XSE. You see, whenever I try to press compile, it gives me an error: "Unknown keyword "end" at line 5"....... i have tried everything and nothing seems to work. anyhelp?

Did you make sure that flag 0x405 is not set before stepping on the tile? Because if it's set, the script won't activate.
