QUESTION: Is there a way to check if a pokemon is holding an item?

-In Oaks Lab, the script your looking for is #2
-If it is a #2 or 4 script, it looks at the Variable Flag (for this, it is 4055)
-It checks that this Variable for its Value (set previously, default is 0000) and if it isn't equal to the number given in the Map script, it doesn't activate. But if it is equal, it does activate.
(if MAP-VALUE>VAR-VALUE=not activate, if MAP-VALUE<VAR-VALUE=not activate, if MAP-VALUE=VAR-VALUE=activate)

In the script tile that we step on in Pallet Town to activate the script, we see this.

Quote:

XSE:|LINE 0045| setvar 0x4055 0x1

This means the next time we enter the Oaks Lab, the script will activate.

But, why doesn't it activate again?
In the Oaks Lab Level script, we observe this

Quote:

XSE:|LINE 0028| setvar 0x4055 0x2

This make it so you don't see this script again until the Var Value is equal again.

People kind of act the same way, but with flags.

Hey guys. I have a problem.
Basically I wrote a script so that when the player steps on a certain spot a sprites goes up to him and battles him.
It works up until after the battle where it just plain goes sour.
Ive attached a small video to show you what happens.

This is the script

Spoiler:

This is the amap stuff for the sprite

and this is the amap stuff for the script tile.

I think I am just overlooking something so please if you know what I did wrong please tell me.

Im not sure,but you might need a waitmovment in the #org @pre
also the number should be 0003 and 4050 on a green script tile.

That's because XSE's std.rbh isn't in the same folder the .exe is. You need to extract everything from XSE's ZIP file in the same folder-structure as it is in the ZIP.

Now the script works, but first when the 2nd applymovement for MOVEPLAYER goes, the player only steps up one space, and doesn't step right first. Second, the movements for sprites 13, 14, 15 don't work at all. They stay put and it moves onto the next msgbox. Do I need a different var? A different flag? Any help is appreciated. The relevant parts of the script are below:

Spoiler:

0x13 = 19, 0x14 = 20, and 0x15 = 21. Use 19, 20 and 21, or 0xD, 0xF and 0xF. Also, you'll need a waitmovement 0 after the MOVEPLAYER.

O_O #dynamic 800000? That's the same as #dynamic 0xC3500! You forgot the 0x. Try to remember that it can make quite a big difference forgetting the 0x or not.

Im Pretty badly stuck here, could someone please help me...allow me to explain my problem...

I am hacking myself a new pokemon game and have just begun, im using my very basic scriting knowledge and using the latest version of xse. i made the player wake up at the start of the game in a cave just above an old lady but am having a few major problems, the first of which comes in advance map..
when i place a sprite of a person into the room it will not appear in the visual boy or have any action within it, even when a script has been applied, please give me some pointers for a possible fix
number 2 comes from xse and advance map i think, i mad a script to stop anyone leaving the room without first choosing 1 of 2 pokemon, you are ment to walk onto the script and be pushed 1 step back, with a message to appear saying , maby i should talk to the old lady first...
so i made a script which i will include...but when i attach to the script to a script tile in advance map and play the game, if i walk on the script tile before it has been bypassed by a flag the game freezes, alough the music still plays on a low quality please help and i hope i have not written waaaay to much

Spoiler:
#Dynamic 0x800000

Someone please help. I know I must be overlooking something.
The problem is just after the battle when the trainer is supossed to walk away. I had it working before but idk what I changed.

No thats not it...
If I do that then the script tile won't do anything.

That's not it either. I tried it just in case but I doubt it would matter where the script is.

That's what happens when you don't extract all the files from the zipped archive. LASTRESULT is defined in the std.rbh header.

Im not sure of your first problem but your second problem sound like you forgot to put the unknown numbers in.They're 0003 and 4050.They go in the first two boxes under the people number i think.
And If you only want the script to check if you got a pokemon or not, i think the one below is a litlle less complicated.But you need to make sure the numbers are in on the script tile.
Also,or you using xse?If not i suggest to switch to it,its very easy to pick up on and theres a great tutorial by diegoisawesome.
The script below is for xse.

This all works.. with a couple exceptions. Even without a pokeball, the checkitem doesn't seem to switch to "jerk". It does take a pokeball if you have one but if you don't it still continues without switching.

Also hidesprite works, but when you move just one step, the sprite returns. Could someone help me with these?

Spoiler:

Fixed (mostly optimized) script is below. Anyway, the script isn't the root of the problem at all. Do not follow the suggestion to set "No movements" because then applymovement will not work. Also, "Look down" isn't glitchy at all. It's just you need to set the Movement to 11.

That's not the way checkitem works.
You do something like this:

Code:

checkitem 0x172 0x1
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x0 goto @donthave

About the "sprite returning"... that's normal. Hidesprite will hide the sprite only temporarily.
Before the hidesprite command you need to use a setflag, which value is the Person ID you set.

I have a question - I just hope I'm asking the right place for this. If not, please tell me where I should go to ask and all.

Anyways, my question is:
How do you make a script which makes a person have a Dropdown mutlichoice box list of Pokemon for sale. I have no clue how to script at all, and my friend who can script has no clue how. If you're wondering what I mean..:

Person: Oh, hello there! I'm a grass pokemon trainer and I came to this island to train up my pokemon and catch some new ones. However I got swept away and caught too many of the same in the process. Would you like to buy some form me?
[Dropdown box here]
Sunflora $500
Vileplume $500
Venusaur $1000
...
Etc etc. That's what I'm trying to do. I'm probably asking the wrong place, but it'd be really appreciated if you could help. Thanks in advance.

It didn't really work, so I just changed them to IDs 1, 2, and 3 and changed the script accordingly and it worked perfectly. Thanks.

ASM would be the only way to my knowledge, but I could be wrong.

Oh, I was wondering because the Battle Pyramid can check for hold items, since it doesn't allow them.

Yes, you're wrong. The multichoice command is all that's needed basically, plus a bit of text editing.

Did you check the scripts there? I'm pretty sure some specials are used.

I can't really script on my PC, nor does the scripting programs I have work. And I have no clue either how to search for it x-x.
Yeah, I know. I'm retarded - When it comes to scripting, I'm dumber then a nail.

i made a givepokemon script and it works, but after i get it and talk to him again, he gives it to me again, and again and i can't get it to work! i want him to say something else after i get it and talk to him again.

There is a tutorial for editing multichoice data in the Documents And Tutorials section, please look there.

The script below should work.You set the flag for the pokedex after you get the pokemon.Thats the flag it checks for inorder to give the pokemon.Just a small mistake.

PlatniumPiano · #**1324** June 10th, 2009, 05:12 AM

I'm redesining the script for my first Pokemon in my hack... The problem is when the flag has been set. If the flag is not set, the script works fine, but when the flag is set, it automatically goes to the script in which it was not set.

Is this because the flag was set on a different map? Or something else (yes I set person id to 950)?

Ruby Version AXVE Script:

Code:

 
#dynamic 0x800000
 
#org @start
checkflag 0x950
if 0x1 goto @done
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @whatsup 0x6
release

#org @ponyta

end
 
#org @done

Xatoku · #**1325** June 10th, 2009, 05:18 AM

I've asked this before but nobody's answered so here it is again,

In this script everything works 100% except that after the trainerbattle, sprite 0x5 on the screen changes colour. Could somebody tell me the proper settings I should give the sprite?
