The pokémon that is displayed on the nicknaming screen is dependent on the value stored in variable '0x8004'. Try inserting this right before calling the nicknaming function:

Code: 
countpokemon
subvar LASTRESULT 0x1
copyvar 0x8004 LASTRESULT

How would you do that for Ruby?

Also, sort of bumping my last post.

How come the applymovements in the script below don't work? Something I've noted is that one of the person events disappears and the person I'm trying to move's picture is reset to the hero. I have 300 and 4050 in the script box.
The script:

Gonna need some help with a script. I want an NPC to give a Pikachu in the player's (empty) party and I want to give around 30 other Pokémon to the PC Box 1. Is there any way I can only give one Pokémon directly while all the others are in the PC Box or do I HAVE to give the player 5 other Pokémon along with Pikachu to work??

Ruby's nicknaming special works in the same way (in the sense that it uses variable '0x8004'). So that code should work in Ruby as well.

That I know of, there is no "give pokémon to the box" command. I guess you might want to give the player the Pikachu and five other "filler" pokémon. Then you can use 'givepokemon' to put pokémon into the Boxes. When you're done with that, you should use HackMew's take-away-pokémon code to remove the five filler pokémon.

Didn't work for me. Possibly because I tried to name the first pokemon in the party. How would you do that? (still Ruby)
I mean giving a pokemon and nicknaming it in the same script.

I'm having very odd problems with my script. It is a level script, and I have it going as the very first thing that happens in the game. It's supposed to be a video chat with the professor of the region and when you get your first Pokémon. It works perfectly through the whole thing (although when nicknaming either Treecko or Totodile it shows a ? instead of the correct sprite and says "?'s nickname?"), but at the end, a number of strange things happen. The oddest is that it's never the same thing. Sometimes the character is just frozen and I can't do anything, sometimes I get a repeating line of "qáF", and sometimes it gives me random items, then freezes the character. I've tried opening the map script offset in XSE, but it is blank, even when I check on the Level Script box. At this point, I'm desperate.

Here is the script in question:

If anyone has any idea on how to fix this, please help. I'd really appreciate it.

This script is frustrating me, in the sense that I can't get it to activate. Every time I step on the tile, it doesn't do anything. Here's the script:

The pokémon in the party that the nicknaming special uses is dependent on the value in 0x8004. If it's 0x0, then it'll nickname the first pokémon. If it's 0x1, it'll nickname the second pokémon and so on, so forth.

Have you not considered that you don't have any "end" command in your script?

I need some scripting help, I really want to learn. But reading tutorials that are long often make me forget about most information.
I'm also a more of a hand on learner, I basically need a teacher.

Is anyone willing to be my tutor?

Hey, so I'm stuck on an XSE script. I'm trying to make it so after an event, the people disappear, but when I come back, they still are there. I added a flag so that when I step on the trigger tile, nothing happens, but the people I want to disappear are still there when I come back.

Here is the (compressed) script:

Thanks!

Did you try setting the person's Person ID to the flag you're using?

And @colcolstyles, I tried using this code to nickname the pokemon:
__________
#org @naming
fadescreen 0x1
setvar 0x8004 0x0
special 0x166
waitstate
return
___________
It was the first pokemon in the party and it had just been given. It didn't work. What should I do? Should I maybe make the naming a separate script?

I don't know what the special for nicknaming pokémon in Ruby is so you'll just have to observe a preexisting script to figure out how to do it.

I don't think anyone is willing to be your tutor anytime soon.
With that fact, you can achieve nothing while you are waiting for that certain someone.
Thus, you need to start to learn by yourself.
Scripting may be difficult to learn if you are trying to read and understand an already advance way of scripting.
You need to start from the basic.

I have a script that isn't quite working for me.

What I want is to have the script represent the event of picking a starter pokemon (like in any pokemon game).

The game I am hacking is Pokemon Ruby and I have the following script but my problem is that the pokeball won't disappear until I leave the screen then come back. I want it to disappear after it is chosen.

#org $script
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x1200

message $question
$question 1 = Would you like Leafeon?
boxset 5
compare 0x800D 0x0001
if 0x01 goto $yes
message $no
$no 1 = Choose wisely!
boxset 6
release
end

#org $yes
message $yes1
$yes1 1 = You received a Leafeon!
boxset 6
givepokemon 161 5 0x00
setmaptile 0x08 0x04 0x0211 0x0
special 0x8E
setflag 0x1200
setflag 0x1201
release
end
Click to expand...

Can anyone help me figure out the problem?

Whenever I insert this into ROM it inserts fine, but upon playing game, when reaching map where this script is used in, the game resets itself. Any help would be most appreciated, kinda stumped on this one. :\ BTW, using PKSV, thanks.

Go to the map in Advance Map. Click on the person you're trying to move. 2 boxes above the "open script" button, there should be a box that says "Person ID" to the right and contains the number "0000." Replace this number with the flag you're using (which I think for you would be 1202). That should make the person completely dissappear.

Also, dstewart, I have 3 suggestions for you that may or may not work:
1. Instead of using setmaptile, try using hidesprite.
2. I don't know if that's a command for Pokescript, so try switching to XSE.
3. Set the Person ID to the flag you're using.

What im trying to do is have it when you step on a tile a rocket guy walks up to you and then tells you to get out of the way, and walks away. and after all that i want him to disappear for good, so i put the flag 2340 as the sprites id in advance map. but what happens is that whenever you step on the tile the game just freezes.

You need to put in lockall command as well.
I've corrected it for you,
