Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

Swellow rules · Apr 11, 2011

I got my script that gives the player the Poliwhirl working but the script that tells the player that they forgot the Poliwhirl isn't. The player is just walking through the script box stopping for about half a second then nothing happens.

Heres the script in PKSV if you want it.

Code:

Pokemon Ruby Nat'l Dex Script

I found out how to create a script that will give you the National Pokedex. And it works. It's all thanks to this YouTube video:

Here's the script I came up with from this video I found. I take no credit for writing the script, I'm simply sharing it to help fellow hackers.

Code:

#org 0x<offset>
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x<flag>
writebytetooffset 0x2 0x2026B00
writebytetooffset 0x3 0x2026B01
writebytetooffset 0xDA 0x2024EBE
writebytetooffset 0x67 0x2026A5A
clearflag 0x<flag>
release
end

i am using the same pokemon centers for my game i used the hacked engine for my game which i think deletes all scripts in the game because the original joys arn't there i make nurse joys and copy the original scripts to my pokemon centers in my hack yet the pokemon centers still do not work they will heal but when you run out of usable pokemon you dont go to the last pokemon center for two of them only one of them works any ideas?

I'm not entirely sure, as I have yet to experiment with that type of thing, but I believe it has something to do with the "sethealingplace" command, if there is one. You might want to try looking over that area in the readme tutorial or whatever it was that came with the engine.

As TheNoobHacker mentioned, you must have activated only one sethealing place. You know, those 'F' tiles on every town. Those are flight positions where you'll appear if you fly to the place, or if you got white out.

very informative for a newbie (my thing still says im a newb too lolz) but yeah i saw in research and developement that its sethealing place in the map script yet two of my pokemon centers will not work :\

what relevence do the flight position exactly have?

I hope you have a level script in the same map, tied with the flags you made on this script. You can check the ones in the original Mew event for an example.

Also, be aware that the flags are also tied with the ID Number of the object in A-Map [I can see only the flag 0x9 referring to Mew in your script, check if the Mew object has the ID # of "0009". Otherwise, you're setting a flag that has nothing to do with the event, being it pointless]

what is a level script????

Click to expand...

Flight Positions are used to set the PLAYER where he/she will appear in case he/she whites out.
Flight Positions are also used to let the PLAYER fly to an already visited town.
Flight Positions can only be used if you set them.

Darksergio said:

Click to expand...

Level Scripts are map scripts that you put on the Header tab of Advance Map.
It automatically loads the script you inserted if the PLAYER entered the map with the level script.

Try rescripting your script into another offset of your ROM.
Sometimes, if you compiled your script, and then decided to open it again through XSE to add more stuff, it ends up adding other sets of commands.

deoxys121 · Apr 13, 2011

Is there any way to add a command in a script that would put a certain Pokemon's data in your Pokedex that would show up if you had seen the Pokemon? The main reason I want to do this in my hack is to facilitate the tracking of Latios. Or, in the case of my hack, Meloetta. I have tried using a "showpokepic" command, but there are a couple issues. 1. It does not put the information in the Pokedex. 2. The picture that pops up uses the wrong palette. 3. The picture does not disappear. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Varin · Apr 13, 2011

Can someone confirm this script is okay? And if not, what the problem is?

//---------------
#org 0x1A0000
lockall
msgbox 0x81A000F MSG_NORMAL //"Hi.\nTake this EGG."
giveegg 0x246
releaseall
end

//---------
// Strings
//---------
#org 0x1A000F
= Hi.\nTake this EGG.

It's a "my first script" sort of thing. It's intention is for the player to walk onto the block where the script is, the message "Hi. Take this EGG." to pop up, and for the player to receive a Larvitar egg. However, for some reason it doesn't even appear to exist in the game - you can walk over it, do whatever you want, and there is no response.

I am using JPAN's modified engine.

Is the problem the script itself? Or something to do with the placement using Advance Map? Or some feature of JPAN's engine I am not aware of?

This is true, but it only does this when you try to edit the compiled script to make it bigger.

Click to expand...

You can't get rid of the warp because you changed the compiled script too much.

If you want a detailed explanation, look in the spoiler. The simple explanation is as follows: NEVER change compiled code. Always change the dynamic offset code and then recompile, then put the new offsent in A-Map. (Or, to save space, at the top of your dynamic code, put "#removeall <compiled offset>" That way, it always ALWAYS puts the code in the same block, which saves space. (Of course, if your new code doesn't fit in the space provided, it will use the next available one.))

Spoiler:

The original script was something like:

Code:

#org 0x800000 lock faceplayer unlock end #org 0x800005 setflag 0x400 end

One may think you can just add code, but you CAN'T with direct offsets.
Why? Well, that code, and the following code are the exact same thing.

Code:

#org 0x800000 lock faceplayer unlock end #raw 0x0 setflag 0x400 'Location 0x800005 end

So, if you change the code in the first one, what XSE does is it writes the first block, then writes the second block. For example... Lets say you changed the first to read:

Code:

#org 0x800000 lock faceplayer unlock setflag 0x4000 'Changed this line only end #org 0x800005 'THIS line causes the errors. setflag 0x400 end

Then it would write the code in the first block:

Code:

#org 0x800000 lock faceplayer unlock setflag 0x4000 end

And then the second block. Since the second block STILL starts in the same position, it overwrites part of the first block What this does is the exact same as the following:

Code:

#org 0x800000 lock faceplayer unlock #raw 0x29 //Setflag byte #raw 0x00 // From original setflag command [I]// We are now at location 0x800005 So it writes those bytes.[/I] setflag 0x4000 // Raw bytes: #raw 0x29 0x00 0x40 end // Raw bytes: #raw 0x02

So, when you reload it, XSE reads what the game would see, which is the following:

Code:

#org 0x800000 lock faceplayer unlock setflag 0x2900 //#raw 0x29 0x00 0x29 nop //#raw 0x00 warp4 0x02 0x00 0xFF 0xFF 0xFFFF 0xFFFF //#raw 0x40 0x02 0x0

The 0xFF's are because 0xFF is free space. Also, notice no "end" command. So the game could freeze after trying to run the script.

Code:

//--------------- #org 0x1A0000 lockall msgbox 0x81A000F MSG_NORMAL //"Hi.\nTake this EGG." giveegg 0x246 releaseall end //--------- // Strings //--------- #org 0x1A000F = Hi.\nTake this EGG.

Click to expand...

The issue is with settings in A-Map. You need an unused variable, and the value 3.

Put the variable of choice in "the "var number" box, and put 0003 in the box directly above it, and below the position.

Also, this will cause your script to run an infinite number of times. To prevent it from running again, just use

Code:

setvar <variable you used> 0x1

One last thing. You DO know that '0x246' is HEX, right? It will give you Pokémon #582. If you wanted Pokémon #246, you'd have to convert to hex first (0xF6), or just say 'giveegg 246'.

Varin · Apr 13, 2011

The variable of choice? Uh... which do I choose? Any number at all, or between a certain range?

This is from thethethethe's scripting tutorial...

Spoiler:

Store Pokemon to Pokedex

Okay, so here's another string like the Name Pokemon above. It simply adds a Pokemon to the 'Seen' section of your Pokedex.
This one is fairly easy to do. Here's the script, it'll make it easier for me to explain.

Code:

setvar 0x8004 0x5 special 0x163

See nice and short.
Pretty basic too. We prepare the Pokemon we want to set to 'Seen' to 0x8004. So in this case, I'm preparing Charmeleon to appear as Seen.
Special 0x163 only finishes the job and actually sets it as Seen in your Pokedex.

OK, so for Latios (replaced with Meloetta in my hack), I would include the following in my script:

Code:

setvar 0x8004 0x198
special 0x163

Is that correct?

Click to expand...

Since you're using JPAN's engine, you are free to use any variable from 0x4000 on up. Normally, though, because of issues that JPAN found, on a clean original FireRed rom, if you tried to use variables above 0x4777 you would be overwriting box data, or Party data.

Some people SWEAR that you HAVE to use variable 0x4030. But that is not true. You only have to use a variable that isn't used anywhere else. (Unless you want the event to happen only after another event or something.)

Darksergio · Apr 14, 2011

got over the problem of the mew, thank you for help, now i'm into another problem, since in my rom the player is able to obtain all the starter, i was wandering how the script of the lady that teaches you the final move to your starter (such as blast burn for charmender) works, because my goal is make possible to learn all the three moves, but in order to do so i have to understand wich flag trigger the selection between the moves, i mean, if the lady just compare the first pokemon in ur team with one of the 3 starters, i don't need to modify the scripts, switch the pokemon party position will be enough, but if a flag if set in the moment i choose the starter, then it is all a different story... so can anyone help me to figure out how it works and wich flag it trigger?

thank you for reading :D

so i finally found out what the bug was its not a bug or glitch i added the fire red hacked rom engine does anybody know how to make a set healing place script for the pokemon centers or can somebody give me an example and explain it to me?

I would suggest simply setting the same script that you would normally find in a Pokemon Center to a person event using AdvanceMap. Just check any other Pokemon Center for the script offset, and set that offset to the person event. That's the simplest way I can think of.

you cannot the fire red hacked engines pokemon center table has been modified to where instead of have 20 pokemon centers you can have unlimited and what i mean by that is that when you die the game orignally limited it to twenty but the hacked engine unlocked that limitation so when i die i can have unlmited amount of pokemon centers to go to heal for example random houses that heal you on a route camp sites in forests stuff like that thus makes the old map scripts not really work at all

totodile493 · Apr 15, 2011

Probably yet another n00b question, but...

Spoiler:

When I try to compile, it says:

Error 13 "Type mismatch" on line 10
Missing #define

Line 10 is
"setwildbattle PKMN_SKARMORY 0x14 ITEM_NONE".

I got that script from ZAPDOS, deleted some things I thought were unnecessary, changed the flags, and edited it to be like PMD Blue.

By the way, that script worked with MEW.
