Why do you have the extra boxset 6 anyways? It is not needed. After your "message @beaten" command, you already have 0x6. 0x6 is boxset 6. I'm also not sure why you're compiling it when there is no text in the message commands... (You only have an equals symbol...)



I also have a question. I made this simple battle script:

Code: 
#dynamic 0x800380

#org @start
trainerbattle 0x0 0x001 0x0 @before @after
textcolor 0x0
message @beaten 6
release
end

#org @beaten
= You're pretty tough for a new guy.

#org @before
= You look like a new trainer.\nBattle me!

#org @after
= I lost!

But there is a big problem. When I walk into the view distance of this trainer, the "trainerbattle by sight" doesn't work. When I talk to the trainer, he skips directly to the @beaten message, except I haven't even battled him yet... His value in the script is correct in terms of matching the value in PET and I do have the "trainer" box on A-Map checked. I'm not sure why this is happening... Help please?

Did you set view radius in A-Map as well? The script looks fine, although you don't need release and make sure you put 0x before the 6 in your @beaten message. It also doesn't hurt to triple check to see if the values match PET.

Can anyone help me with this problem? I'm trying to make a givepokemon script for a starter pokemon. It gives you the pokemon but the pokemon button in the menu doesn't show up afterwards. here's my script:

Spoiler:




Using XSE + the original version of Fire Red. I've only been scripting for a week or 2 and I'm not very good at it so any help would be appreciated.

You need to add setflag 0x828. When this flag is enable, it activates POKéMON menu.

Game Freezes after script

I made an introduction script for my Rom, it is the only script i have put it if it matters. The script runs fine for the most part, except the movement that is supposed to happen at the end does not happen, the sprite just disappears. After leaving the house the game freezes at one of three points, after talking to the person outside, walking onto the bridge, or going back inside the house (where the Oak sprite remains).

So i guess i have two questions. how do i stop the freezing and how do i make the even occure only once. I set the flag as Oaks person ID.

You forgot to input "waitmovement 0x0" after your last applymovement script, you should just input 2000 in the person ID to make it not happen again.... :)

I'm new here and I am starting to get the hang of basic scripting. However, there are a few tidbits of information that is not registering with me yet. What do I add to my script in order for it to not appear again? I think it has something to do with setvar, but I'm not sure. This script is activated when stepped on.

Your warp should read:

warp 0x5 0x1 0xFF 0x06 0x0C

Sounds like a compiling problem or something, recompile the script and double check you're assigning (and saving) it to the right sprite. Sounds stupid I know but I've done that before!

This looks like a case of messing with compiled scripts.

1) Use '#Dynamic 0x800000' and '#org @BlankPointers' when scripting, do not put your own offsets in.
2) Once compiled make sure not to add or remove bytes of the script, as it will change any close scripts as well by erasing or changing their information.

Set the script tile variable to 4001 and value to 0 (assuming that's what the value should be when you first step on the tile) and this should be fine. If that doesn't seem to be working try using a larger value, perhaps 5000. Some lower variables reset or are influenced by flags and things.

Having some trouble permanently disappearing some sprites from the map using hidesprite/setflag on the Person ID.

Spoiler:


Not including the strings because they're just simple text and raws that work perfectly fine.

For the purpose of presentation, all three sprites have a Person ID of 1001. (I have run it with separate ID's for each sprite but it comes to the same result) Everything in the event scripts perfectly, but as soon as the script is done and I take one step forward, all the sprites reappear. Not to mention that they don't disappear when leaving and reentering the room. I've used other hacks/clean roms to compare my scripts to but it seems like I'm doing everything I'm supposed to. Although, I am using JPAN's engine if that means anything.

Hello, I have another question. This script was working as intended, but now I'm using the command "movesprite2" instead of "movesprite".

The problem is at the beginning. The sprites that I want to move permanently don't move at all. It's very strange... I inserted this script a while back with the "movesprite" command, and it worked. Then, I recompiled it using the "movesprite2" command, and it stopped working. Once I saw that it stopped working, I switched back to "movesprite" and it still wouldn't work... I'm starting to wonder if maybe now I have too many person events on my map at once? Help please?

EDIT: Oaky, I tried changing the map so there were only 11 people on it and the "movesprite" command still isn't working... I've gone to another map and made a "movesprite" script there (just to make sure that "movesprite" isn't somehow broken or something...) but the "movesprite" command wouldn't work... It seems like it's broken or somthing weird. It was working when I began my hack, but after a while it just... died. I'm trying a different method now, but any information on this problem would be appreciated, as I can no longer use that command as far as I know...

Have you tried recompiling this from scratch? Rather than editing a compiled script?

Also are you sure you're not mixing up your hex and decimal numbers? Considering your applymovements are in decimal and your movesprites are in hex X__x, it's a very confusing way to write a script.

movesprite is for moving the spirte's current position, and movesprite2 too is for perminitaly moving that spirte. So both the commands should be used in conjunction; Hope that helps.

Hello, I have just recently started rom hacking and i'm new to scripting and advance map and all that good stuff. Naturally, i'd find some tutorials on how to make my people say different things and I found Diego's tutorial for a basic message saying hello.

diegoisawesome said:
Code: 
#dynamic 0x(FSF Offset)
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Hi.\nMy name is Diego.
Click to expand...

However, when I put this exact code into XSE and use the free space offset for my person, my rom either freezes or does nothing when I talk to them. Why is this? Do I need to have a specific amount of free bytes in my offset? Is there something special I need to do with my coding? I'm not trying something super advanced here I just want my person to say hello. I've tried many other tutorials as well and haven't had any luck. Help would be appreciated as I don't know where else to turn to. :/
