Running Shoes Script error
Hello everyone!
I wrote a Person Event script to recieve the running shoes earlier on in the game.
Here is the script:
I am using PocketScript. It's a person script. I am using Fire Red.
All of the script runs as planned except for the part in which the flag is set to receive the running shoes.
What is wrong? How can i make the player receive the running shoes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to create the possibility in my Pokémon FireRed hack to obtain the 2 other starters later in the game. My solution to decide which Pokémon was chosen as a starter is creating a new script/event where you talk to a scientist in the lab that gives you your starter.
I was wondering how I could create a multiple choice script where you choose which Pokémon you get.

While I don't use PokeScript, everything looks fine
I'm a bit confused - Are you trying to get a script to run in Advance Map but saving it in XSE? Saving in XSE doesn't insert the script into Advance Map, it just creates a .rbc file that holds the script and can be opened/ edited later in XSE.
If you're trying to insert a script into Advance Map you should open the script and then your ROM in XSE. You will then need to compile the script (The two blue cogs at the top) and copy the offset given to you. Paste the starting offset into the person/ script you want to have it in Advance Map and everything should work.
Here is an example of a multichoice script:
Code:
...
multichoice 0x0 0x0 [B]0xY[/B] 0x0
copyvar 0x8000 0x800D
compare 0x8000 0x0
if 0x1 goto @Bulbasaur
compare 0x8000 0x1
if 0x1 goto @Charmander
compare 0x8000 0x2
if 0x1 goto @Squirtle
...
...
#org @Bulbasaur
givepokemon 0x1 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
...The choices offered to you are based on which multiplechoice variable to you chose (0xY in the script). If you press F2 in XSE and open the scripting guide, you should be able to find a list of all of the multichoice options in the Appendix.
Unfortunately you can't edit the text of the choices in-game so you'll have to either HEX edit the options, use an editor like this one or use JPAN's hacked engine (If you're using FR) to create a custom multichoice.
If you want the game to remember which starter you chose, set a different flag for each starter's script and then check all three when needed to run different scripts.

still no luck with getting the running shoes to work!
I tried setting the person ID to 82F as you said before but no luck!
This is actually getting quite frustrating... and the other person who linked me to another thread. That is to run indoors not set the running shoes. I might have to wait until later in the game to use them then.
Thanks anyways.

endAlthough I suggest you try and switch into XSE scripting, for PokeScript is buggy. When I first started scripting, I have encountered numerous errors with PokeScript and my script not working properly even if there were no problems with the script whatsoever.
But it's up to you, though.

Thanks again, but still no luck.
I am finding XSE a lot easier and have already noticed the difference. Is there something I should be setting in advance map? Like people Id or something?

Hi everyone,
The last 2 days I started focusing on Pokémon-hacking.
I started trying to learn how to script today, and of course I already ran into my first problem, which is probably easy to solve.
I am trying to insert a basic text for a Message-sign next to a house.
So, first of all I open XSE & FSF, I open the room, find free space, copy paste, and I end up with this script:
Everything seems fine uptill now in my eyes, however, once I open the rom, and I face the Sign, the music keeps playing, but I am unable to move or take any action, the text also doesn't appear.
Im using a Fire Red rom.
Any ideas?

Since my last questions here, I have learned how to write basic scripts, yet I have run into a problem.
On all the youtube scripting tutorials, they click "Compile script", yet my computer won't let me do so. Is there a wayaround this (Like the option encode on the menu in pokescript)? I have tried to use encode with verious scripts, even ones that have been used by numerous people, and have worked.

I am attempting to get a simple trainerbattle script to work. When I compile it into a regular FR rom, everything works fine. But when I compile the same script into a rom patched with JPAN's hacked engine, it freezes right before the battle should start and the trainer's music just keeps playing.
Does anyone know what the problem is here? I'm guessing it is something to do with the engine, but I can't figure out what.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

I unfortunately did not try JPAN's engine yet but if I remember correctly then it's "stripped" of these things and you need to insert them.
I'm sorry I really don't know... I hope someone else answers this better.

Thanks for trying to help. I'm not sure what you mean when you say that it is "stripped" of the "things" necessary to make this work.....and what would I need to insert?
But like you said, you're not really sure...and I'm not sold on the idea that I need to insert something. Wouldn't this stuff have been mentioned in the hacked engine's guide?
Anyone else have an idea of what the problem is?
Thanks.

Can anyone help me? I've just got back into hacking and basically forgot how to script.
I'm having trouble with this script:
Problems:
1.The rival only does the movements, but doesn't say anything and just walks off.
2.When I go into a different map and then come back, he is then there again, and then the script can repeat.
I'd like to solve this quickly as possible, thank you! :)

I have no idea why it isn't displaying the text :<
Did you set his person ID to 1000? If you haven't that would explain why his sprite is reappearing. I'm not sure why you put 'clearflag 0x1000' in org @done because that would be allowing you to repeat the script again - It may also have something to to with being able to see him again as well.

Now I tried it on another FR patched with JPAN's engine and it worked! I forgot to mention that the rom that the script didn't work in had already been tampered with (test tiles/palettes and other scripts). Are my previous tamperings with the rom maybe what caused my trainer script to freeze? I just don't want this to happen when I start real scripting for my hack. :)

Okay, I've re-downloaded XSE, and it didn't work, so it's obviously something with this script. I'm trying to teach myself to script and this script(I thought I was doing it fine) crashes XSE when I try to debug it. A normal talking script works fine, but this crashes the whole program. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it? This is for Fire Red
