[Scripting] RaiRai-kun's XSE Tutorial [Updated Big-Time!]

[-DarK-]

I'm having trouble with the giveitem script:

#Dynamic 0x9A6740

#org @start
checkflag 0x201
if b_true goto @gone
lock
faceplayer
giveitem 0x3 0x5 0x0
setflag 0x201
release
end

#org @gone
hidesprite 0x8
end

What's wrong?

[Zaptinex]

Ive learned everything in this tutorail along with combinig things like movemnt, flags, give pokemon, and such. How do i move to more advanced scripting with different commands and examples? Do you suggest any specific tutorials?

[pool92]

Good tutorial ;) Compliments!

[.Seth]

Zaptinex, If I haven't learned it yet, it won't be on the tutorial. Sorry for any inconvenience.

pool92, Thanks. I worked pretty hard putting it together.

Pikachu's hex no. is 19
Try that instead.

Also, how's this hack doing?

Pikachu's number is 25

Change hidesprite 0x8 to hidesprite 0x201

[Spherical Ice]

With Yes/No commands, could you change the options?

(E.g. Someone asks what your favourite type is. Options:
Fire
Water
Grass

Could it work?)

Sorry for being a n00b ('cause I am one, with hacking...)

You're meant to use an offset, not the text "offset". -.-

Did you actually ready the guide? Or did you just copy/paste?

Hey! I just gotten into scripting but still am unsure of a few things.

I wanted to start out with something simple though, just a basic movement/text script so I won't leave town without the first badge.

Here it is: Decreasing size so it won't take up space. (am unsure on how to do spoiler..)

#Dynamic 0x194
#org @BadgeOne
checkflag 0x820
if 0x0 goto @needbadge1
if 0x1 goto @havebadge1
end
#org @needbadge1
lock
msgbox @nobadge
boxset 0x6
applymovement 0xEventNumber @goback
waitmovement 0x0
release
end
#org @nobadge
= Wait, I don't have a badge/nwithout that I can't go!
#org @goback
#raw 0x03
#raw 0x07
#raw 0x07
#raw 0x00
#raw 0x04
#raw 0x04
#raw 0x04
#raw 0x04
#raw 0xFE
#org @havebadge1
release
end

The part that confused me is the event number

"applymovement 0xEventNumber @goback"

Put as 0xFF in the tutorial. How exactly am I supposed to know what event I'm using, or how to find which I'm using? I might have later questions but I'll try to compile them all into one post next time. I just wanted to know this to start off. Also, am I making any other mistakes?

Edit: This is just a mess-around script btw. The offset isn't real, but the rest of it is. (Besides the Event Number which confused me)

-h20

I have a script that is supposed to give you a celebi at level 80. I know it has no flag...But the problem is that it dosn't make a text box appear.Here is the script:

'-----------------------
#org 0xFFFF30
lock
msgbox 0x871AA90 '"Here is a celebi.\nI have grown old..."
faceplayer
givepokemon 0xFB 0x50 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x828
release
end

'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x71AA90
= Here is a celebi.\nI have grown old and\ndon't need it any more.

Try this:
#dynamic 0x[offset]

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
message @1
boxset 6
givepokemon 0xFB 0x50 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
message @2
boxset 6
release
end

#org @1
= Here is a celebi.\nI have grown old and\ndon't need it any more.

#org @2
= \v\h01 received Celebi!

Dunno if you want the italic in to? cuz givepokemon command doesn't automaticly says player received bla bla..

[sab]

Thanks, It works great!!!!

Ok I have some n00b questions.......

Is it possible to just erase all the bytes from the game, and start new?
And how do you mix messages with giving Pokemon/items? Such as: "Here, take this Pokemon" and he gives you a Pokemon. I also don't understand how to actually end it..... when I tested your examples, I just kept getting the Pokemon over and over.

I tried mixing messages with giving, but when I compiled it, it only did the messages and didn't play music to get Pokemon, and didn't say "You got suchandsuch"

What's wrong with this script? I haven't been able to get it to work..... all the person does is just stand there, and nothing happens. Also, no other script works either One other thing..... is it normal that when you start the game after scripting, that the game is a little.... "laggy" I guess you'd say? Like, I can press Left and my character goes Left twice or all the way, even if I let go. Just an example. Anyway, here's the script:


#dynamic 0x71B69C

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
message @1
boxset 0x6
givepokemon 0x6 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
message @2
boxset 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Have a Charizard\n, on the house

#org @2
= You got Charizard!\nWhat a nice guy.

I'm new at this to but I've read enough to know that this has to do with a problem with the flags. (that is if it has any) To mixscripts (like giving a pokemon and then warping)you put the warp script right in front of the release end.

Sorry but that's wrong. Flags have nothing to do with that script, which would work fine on a clean ROM, anyway.

Are you setting to Script Offset in Advance Map?

That is completely wrong. You need to have a boxset after every message.

Did you check the Command Help?
The syntax is like this:

applymovement [people no.] [pointer to movements]
waitmovement 0x0
