Advanced Scripting Tutorial

[O.G. Duke]

A quick question: Where should I insert the script?
Is it open elite map and load the rom, ctrl click the event and edit the script? Then how to save the script to the rom?

[Monkey]

got a question about that battle script

is it

#org 0x800000
trainerbattle 0x00 0x1A 0x800100 0x800200
end

#org 0x800100
= Bring it on!

#org 0x800200
= I lost...

that or

#org 0x800000
0x00 0x1A 0x800100 0x800200
end

#org 0x800100
= Bring it on!

#org 0x800200
= I lost...

this one?

is 800000 the offset then ? so $800000

do i need before i do it in scripted and compile it give a new trainer/people the script offset $80000 then compile it? thit was it i think

[Overclocked]

#org 0x800000
trainerbattle 0x0 0x1A 0x0 0x800100 0x800200
msgbox 0x800300
callstd 0x6
end

#org 0x800100
= Bring it on!

#org 0x800200
= I lost...

#org 0x800300
= Insert message here

Use this instead. Don't forget to fix it up though.

Heey, I've made this script.

#org 0xDDD000
= Chef!\pGiovanni is in trouble!

The beginning works fine, the team rocket guy kicks me away, says his text and turns around.
But the next event ( also team rocket guy ) doesn't move!
No mather what movement.
It's just takes the time of 7 steps and then says the tekst, without moving.
Help?

You have to compile the script to work but you can put "800000" on the trainer before if you want.

Are the events nr. 12 and 13 in hexadecimal? Because 12 = C, 13 = D.

[Monkey]

I've tried that now with this script:

= Chef!\pGiovanni is in trouble!

The 'second sprite' does not takes seven steps, but just turns his head to the left.
( 0x06 is 1 step to the left. )

Any ideas?
And btw, if i try the '!' ( alert ) movement, he just jumps.
Are those movements for R/S/E or something?
If so, does anybody have the correct movements for FR/LG?

[Christos]

Replace the "6"s with "A"s. "Left0" is face left, "Left1" one step left but the person stays there and "Left2" is one normal step left.
The alert raw in the text document is for R/S/E.

Thanks.
Last question, i not really understand the 'pause' command.
If i have seven times 0x0A, i entered pause 0x70, but when i tried it, the message came while walking at step 4.
Is it possible to raise the pause?

And do you know more FR/LG applymov. raw commands?
If not, i'll look for it by myself..

[D-Trogh]

I have a question for you Christos..
Do you have a list with flags we MAY NOT use.. so, a list with flags that are used in the game..
Or, can we use whatever we want ?

[frank$or]

Another problem .
When team rocket walks away, they just are standing there after the steps.
How can i let them disappear?
I already tried Checkflag and Setflag, but it doesn't help.
Any ideas?

And to make this post easy, christos, do you know any more FR/LG movement commands?
Would be helpfull.

Thanks in advance, frank$or.

I have an idea..
Try the 'movesprite' command and move those sprites outside the map.. (Or somewhere you can't see them..)

Yes, i was also thinking about this, but this isn't good because it will take to much time to bring them out of town.
And btw, if i go into an house or something, and go out, they will be there.
If i knew the FR/LG command for 'hide' then it would be easy.

(using advanced map)

If you set the persons people id to the value you use for your setflag command they should disapear.
Dont used flags in the 0x300 range though!

Also note, the applymovement command refers to the the 'people' number not the event number!

And do you know more FR/LG applymov. raw commands?
If not, i'll look for it by myself..

the attached text file lists all the movements (to my knowledge) and the numbers refer to the amount of cycles for that movement. ie left4 is 4 moves per 'cycle', 1 is 1 move per 'cycle' and 0 no move!

I have yet to find a straight answer as to how long a 'cycle' is though!

How this works is if you are facing up then left1 is the equvelent of tapping left (you turn left) left2 = two taps (turn left, step left) etc etc.

Finally

Last question, i not really understand the 'pause' command.
If i have seven times 0x0A, i entered pause 0x70, but when i tried it, the message came while walking at step 4.
Is it possible to raise the pause?

I think there's a command called waitmovement that will pause the script until the character stops moving????
- EDIT -
Found it! Pausemove 0x0 will make the script wait for all movement scripts to stop!
Under scripted it may also be listed as wait 0x0

[D-Trogh]

Ok, I've made my second script ! [Spoiler!!]
But, it doesn't work :\
(I use PokéScript, so it's written for PokéScript...)
RED » What goes wrong/Doesn't work..
BLUE » This is done every time instead of doing the good thing..

I think it's wierd the 'IfTrue $receive' doesn't work, because the 'checkflag 0x10A ; IfTrue $Item' does !!

BTW:
This thread is becoming a 'Script-Debug-Help-Me-WHAAH-Thread' if you know what I mean..
I asked Scizz already to open such a thread next to the 'Simple Questions' one.. but -meh-

[Irish Witch]

Since you PM'd me I gave you a full answer in a PM as well, but the short half is that iftrue is not a valid command. If you're read the update following that conversation you would have learned I went with TIF and FIF respectively.

You shouldn't be doing it the lazy way anyhow...
pfft. Boys!
*places hands on hips and conspires to look like my mum!*

I made some other sugggestions in the PM btw.

As I told you in the PM.. I made the IfTrue and IfFalse allias..
And that's not the problem because.. well.. did you read this:

I think it's wierd the 'IfTrue $receive' doesn't work, because the 'checkflag 0x10A ; IfTrue $Item' does !!

Pff.. girls

[Irish Witch]

Dangitall!

This is what I get for scripting at 4am....

Boys and girls please remember the following!

boxset 5 (or boxset 2, whichever you use) must be followed by
: compare LASTRESULT 1

Checkflag must NOT!


This has been a sleepy witch announcement.
Now excuse me while I go turn into a pumpkin!

- LAST MINUTE EDIT -

Ps, I think the reason a lot of movement scripts don't work is becasue people get mixed up between people number, people id and event number. (assuming advanced map)
Event number is the index of the object. It is not referenced.
Peaple number is referenced by applymovement, but if it is accidentally doubled up then neither object will move!
- the above is specific to the map you're on! (you cant have 2 2's on one map) The value written in this field may be written without a 0x in front when you write you're script if you don't want the have to convert it to hex.
- - The above applies to both pokescript and Scripted!
People ID is the flag. Setting this value in a script will make the character disapear!

Well.. you could've told that a lil sooner !!
Just kiddin I really love working with PokéScript
Will you edit that in a newer release ? Or not ?
You don't need to when your busy or something..

Well.. technicly, this even isn't the place to ask for help. As this is the Documents and Tutorials page..
Maybe when we get Scizz's (or an other Moderators) attention, we can get a 'Script-Debug Thread' next to the Simple Questions Thread
Soo..

To stay on topic:
Christos, will you update this tutorial with new things soon?
I don't know what you can learn us more.. but, try it
