@Necromorph & Binary- Thanks! I knew I was missing something...

Anyways, for some reason, after I made a new script and went to test it out, one of my old scripts stopped working. The aide outside of the house was meant to lead the player to the professor's lab. But now the game just freezes.

^ Well, there is one mistake..

In the movements, at offset 0x800943, you did not end your movements with #raw 0xFE.

What exactly can you do with call 0xoffset? What can you use this for?

When you use the call command, you can return back to the main script or the script you called from.

For example:

Code:

...
...
call @back
msgbox @talk 0x6
...
...
end

#org @back
msgbox @called 0x6
[B]return[/B]

#org @called
= You called?

#org @talk
= Oh, you're back!

Notice the return. It 'returns' back to the main script you called it from. Hope that helps you.

I use it for stuff like giving Pokemon and Pokedexs;

Code:

#dynamic 0xoffset

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 msg_normal
call @pokedex
release
end

#org @1
= Here's a Pokedex.

#org @pokedex
setflag 0x829
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @2 msg_keepopen
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
return

#org @4
= \v\h01 recieved a Pokedex.

Notice that if use use call, you have to use return.

go to the MEGA-HUGE xsetutorial and just read up on how to change the applymovement commands to make him walk in a different path

But then you'd have to change warps, AND make a new level script, which would take a while for him to learn. =\

Start from the beginning of the tutorial(diegoisawesome's MEGA HUGE XSE Tutorial), learn everything in the order that he has it. And just practice, eventually you wont even have to worry about needing help on a script like the one you are talking about.

applymovement 0xperson number @move

applymovement does what is says

0xpersonnumber is how you assign movements to specific people

@move=(pointer)redirects the script to another one

so what you do is you go to the pointer that jumps to the right movement commands and rewrite them changing professors oaks movement path to where it works for your hack

@Chad, thanks, I didn't notice that. But for some reason, it still doesn't work... :\

Spoiler:

Again, copy/pasted :\

Chad - · Jul 30, 2010

GoldxLight,

is your script a green tile script? If so, did you adjust the Unknown to 0300 and Var Number to 4050? Other than that, I don't know what the problem is. I'm sure someone else will notice it..

Maybe try changing the offset..

If it was a type 0x02 level script then regardless of how much code is run, it will stop the "route name box" from coming down. If you use another type of level script (I'd try 0x01 (setmaptile)), then the script will be run before the map loads and the route name box should show up.

Thanks colcolstyles. I'll give that ago :)

Capitalist Ness · Jul 30, 2010

I started learning how to hack today... I learned how to write Wildbattles but... I want to give another music to it. Something like Legendary Dogs Battle Theme etc.
If anyone needs, here's my script...

Spoiler:

GoldxLight · Jul 30, 2010

Chad- Yeah, it is a green tile sprite. And yeah, I did set the var to 4050 and the unknown to 0300. But it still won't work :\

I'll just keep trying, I guess..

Co500 · Jul 30, 2010

The only problem I have with these scripts is that the set flag so that they dont reactivate dont work, the flags Ive used have not been used before and im sure ive just made a noobish mistake thanks in advance ;)

You don't want to use those flags, especially the flags in the '0x800's because those are often reserved for special purposes like badges, enabling menu items, etc. Take a look at the list of used flags in XSE's guide. Most flags not on that list are safe for using, though I personally recommend any over '0x1000'. Also, the following code won't work:

Code:

...
checkflag 0x8
checkflag 0x82F
checkflag 0x829
checkflag 0x828
if 0x1 goto @done
...

You need an 'if' statement after every single 'checkflag'. Similarly, at the beginning of the last script there is a 'checkflag' without an 'if' statement following it, effectively rendering it useless.

GoldxLight · Jul 30, 2010

Nevermind, I fixed the problem by rewriting the script! ^^
Thanks though, Chad!
