I'm new to scripting, but not new to programming.
I wrote a pretty basic script with some messages and movement and I tried putting it into a script tile on a map in AdvanceMap after I complied it. The script does not activate upon stepping on the tile. I set the unknown value for the tile to 0003 (I tried 0300 too) and the Var number to 4050 as instructed, but to no avail. I know the issue is not with the script itself, because I checked it by assigning it to a Person Event, and it ran as intended.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Could you please post the script? (Just so I know what is supposed to happen)
Also, do you want the script to activate the instant the player walks into a new map?

Vandette · #**22153** July 21st, 2012, 11:08 PM

Thanks for your response! Here's a copy of the script I'm using. I realize that it does have errors (which I noticed when I ran it out of the person event, but I'd like to get the script tile to work before I do that.)

Spoiler:

So that's it. The script event tile is on the Route 1 map, so it's not activating as soon as I enter a new map, no. I just want it to activate once this particular tile is stepped on, and that's not happening.

Guys, I need help with two problems.

First: I created a new map, 1.123. I connected it with the existing map 1.113 (both are inside the folder "ICEFALL CAVE"). Done correctly, the 1.123 with 1.113 and 1.113 with 1.123. Went to test in VBA. When I move the map 1.113 to 1.123, the character goes through normally. However, when I went over 1.123 for 1.113, he did not return. It is as if the map were not connected. Tried to turn the maps by Advance 1.92 and 1.95 Map and none worked. How to solve this problem?

Second: This second map that I created, the character does not run. Just walk or use the bike. But if I press the B button (GBA) the character does not run. How to resolve?

Thank you!

Okay, try this:

You need a "lockall" command at the beginning of your script. (Just before "textcolor 0x0") Also, there needs to be a "setvar 0x4050 0x1" command just before your "releaseall" command at the end of your script.

Your AdvancedMap settings are correct, but since you used 4050 for the var number, you also need to insert a "setvar 0x4050 0x1" command at the end of your script. This will make it so that when the script ends, it will be removed from the game forever.

For the first problem:

Where exactly does the player end up after they go from 1.123 to 1.113? Does the game freeze or does the player get warped to a random map or something?

For the second problem:

Go to the second map's header. Under "Map Options" and "Type", what does it say? If it says "Inside", change it to something else. Any map with an "Inside" typing will disable the run feature for that specific map.

Thank you for answering me. Well, I linked the maps. I'll show a image so that you understand what's going on... (open the Spoiler to see the prints)

Spoiler:

It was not to have problems ...

---------

On the second problem, the character cannot run. No, is set to "Underground" instead of "Inside". See:

Spoiler:

Why this is happening?

------------

EDIT: The second problem I fix changing set the "Show name on entering" to "??? [07]". But the first problem persists.

Vandette · #**22157** July 22nd, 2012, 12:09 AM

Thanks for the help! I had another script using the same variable which would explain why this one wasn't triggering.

I appreciate the explanation, it really helped!

This might be a complete hunch, but it might be that your offset is an odd number. The game seems finnicky about odd numbers as an offset...if you look in the original games, I don't think any map has an odd number as an offset. I've had a few in my game that cause problems, and a few that don't. I can't think of anything else, though :\

FrozenInfernoZX · #**22161** July 22nd, 2012, 02:50 AM

Is it safe to use Advance Map 1.92 and 1.95 interchangeably? Due to me having to use the World Map editor.

Edit - I also want to remake my map as a DPPt map. How do I get the correct palettes for inserting into the game? It was easier for a FRLG map since the maps uses the original palettes.

Upon 'disinfecting' a roaming legendary would spring up but what legendary it is would be determined by the starter you chose. I was wondering if there could be a way to do that??? If not I'll just leave that feature out of the game.

Thanks in advance!

Not trying to be pushy or seem impatient but my scripter was bugging me about this and saying that it's impossible, so I'd really like to know. Thanks~

nope its possible... though not to the extent your hoping for... but it requires some asm routines + good knowledge of scripts + a little imagination.

encryption/decryption routines.
Changing Pokemon Species.

Those plus clever use of flags and scripts and you've got urself atleast something similar to what you want.

Hello, guys can anyone please help me. I just started editing Pokemon Wild Encounters in LeafGreen using Advance Map 1.95 and everything worked great i tried it in the game. So then i looked in the folder where ROM is located and i have Pokemon - Leaf Green Version (USA).bak extension. How can i combine or patch this extension so it can stay attached to the ROM, so i can only have Pokemon - Leaf Green Version (USA).gba ROM.

As far as I know, you can't, that .bak file serves as a save file for the ROM (something like that) but it's not needed anyway why bother....

No, it shouldn't, but do not delete it yet, as it is a backup version of your ROM. Basically, if something does now go wrong, you can change the extension to GBA, and you'll have the ROM as it was before the next edit, or that edit... One or the other, either way, it's a handy backup of your ROM.

Thank you that makes sense. I was also wandering in the A-Trainer tool, is there easier way to find trainers, like by IDs or is there some kind of list of IDs for trainers.

Hello everybody, I have a question here. How to edit grass animation tile?

Matheus290 · #**22170** July 22nd, 2012, 10:32 PM

I managed to fix the first problem, the connections of the maps.

What I did to fix? I connected random maps on 4 directions (up, down, left and right) in the "rebellious map".

After I connect the 4, I removed all. So I connected just the map needed to be connected. Voila, problem solved. Thank you! :D

Me again. Ummm, how would I make this patch work on Ruby?

I love the tiles and really want to use them but I don't want to use Fire Red.

I don't think there is anyway to get it to work on Ruby. The only way to use these in Ruby would probably be to insert them manually. If you look in the tutorials section there are quite a few tile insertion tutorials.

My Question:
Is there any way to prevent items from disappearing out of the inventory when they are used? There are a few items I want to make multi-use, including the TMs

dragonluver449 · #**22173** July 22nd, 2012, 10:58 PM

Thanks, how would I get the tiles for manual insertion? Or would I have to ask the maker of the patch for them?

oobio · #**22174** July 22nd, 2012, 11:39 PM

How can I change the respawn point of the player when they lose a battle?

You have to either get the image from the post you linked to and create the tiles yourself from that or apply the patch to a Firered rom and then use Advance Map to get the tiles.
