Thank you much :D
It worked!

New question about the same script. When the 2nd script starts, I get random letters. Is this a result of not inserting it properly.
(Look at last post of mine to see screenshots to see if I inserted it incorrectly)

It looks like you've done it right, but it is hard to tell - try recompiling with fresh offsets and insert it again following the level tutorial ^^

With Advancemap, you don't map with XSE. You can via semi-complex scripts, but not in the way you want to do it (or at least, not in a way that would be practical).

If you want to know how to add scripts to the first map, read the first couple post, they will tell you everything.

Code: 
#dynamic [B]0x800000[/B]

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x825
if 0x1 goto @runshoes
msgbox @msg 0x6
applymovement 0x04 @move
applymovement 0xFF @move1
applymovement 0x04 @move2
applymovement 0xFF @move3
[B]waitmovement 0x0[/B]
msgbox @msg1 0x6
applymovement 0x04 @move4
[B]waitmovement 0x0[/B]
release
end

#org @runshoes
msgbox @msg2 0x6
fanfare 0x13E
[B]preparemsg @msg3
waitmsg[/B]
waitfanfare
msgbox @msg4 0x6
setflag 0x82F
release
end

#org @msg
= Hold up!

#org @msg1
= You don't have this towns\nbadge!\lIt could be difficult ahead\lwithout that badge!\pYou should probably visit\lthe gym!

#org @msg2
= Oh! I see you have the\nRainbow Badge!\pHere, take these, they could\lbe useful during your\ljourney!

#org @msg3
= [player] recieved the Running Shoes!\p[player] put on the Running Shoes.

#org @msg4
= Think of these as my gift\nto you for beating Erika.

#org @move
#raw 0xC
[B]#raw 0xFE[/B]

#org @move1
#raw 0xE
[B]#raw 0xFE[/B]

#org @move2
#raw 0x2
[B]#raw 0xFE[/B]

#org @move3
#raw 0x3
[B]#raw 0xFE[/B]

#org @move4
#raw 0x9
#raw 0x0
[B]#raw 0xFE[/B]

Okay, I've made some amendments to your script.

Firstly, DON'T put random numbers for the offset. Just use #dynamic 0x800000. When you compile your script, XSE will automatically find and insert the script at an offset with enough free space; you literally only have to copy and paste the first offset it gives you and put it in Advance Map.

After using the applymovement command, you need to use waitmovement 0x0; it makes your script run smoother.

I changed the "obtain running shoes" part a little for professionalism's sake, but what you had would've worked.

Movement #orgs always need #raw 0xFE at the end to notify the end of that set of movements.

Now, your script is probably freezing because of the settings in Advance Map. Click on the Script tile and set the first Unknown to $03, and the Var number to $4050. Save the map; after you've done all that it should work.

Thanks for the help, Spherical Ice, but one of two problems now occur:

- The script isn't activated at all, the guy teleports on a building
- The game freezes, the guy teleports on a building

Nothing said after battle

I have a trainer battle script (my first working one). The trainer see's me, walks up to me, says his text, and we battle. After we finish he says nothing, and also says nothing when i "talk" to him after battle, but he does look in my direction.

Here is my script.

'-----------------------
#org 0x2872F7
trainerbattle 0x0 0x24 0x0 0x828730E 0x828733C
msgbox 0x8287355 '"I'm going to take on \nthe champion..."
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x28730E
= I have the best Rattata\nin the whole world!

#org 0x28733C
= How did i loose to you?

#org 0x287355
= I'm going to take on \nthe champion one day.

Also, is it normal for my script to look like this after i compile/save it? Before i compiled it it looked different.

I'm by no means an amazing scripter, but I don't think that if you've used a script box that you can use the 'lock' or 'faceplayer' commands.

Instead of 'lock' use 'lockall' and instead of faceplayer, use movements to get the mother to be where you want her to be.

I think that should work.

Also, when you use 'applymovement 0xFF' the next line needs to be 'waitmovement 0xFF'. In your script you've put 'applymovement 0xFF' and 'waitmovement 0x0'.

I'm writing this on my phone, so it's a little difficult to see if there's anything else wrong with the script.

Maybe someone with a little more knowledge will be able to help you if what i've said turns out to be untrue. :)

Don't worry, that's how XSE interprets your script after you compile. It's natural that it looks that way.

Also, for your problem, you've to set the message type in your 'msgbox' command (i.e. 0x6 ; 0x5 ...etc).

ok, i retyped my script in, this is what it looked like before XSE compiled it.

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
trainerbattle 0x0 0x024 0x0 @before @after
msgbox @beaten 0x6
release
end

#org @before
= text

#org @after
= text

#org @beaten
= text

I use XSE text adjuster so i don't think the text was the problem
Do i need to re-add the 0x6 after compiling it

That's a perfect script. I guess you have but one way to approach this issue, change the offset. Use FSF to get a free offset, instead of depending on XSE to compile the script in the very next automatic free space area, which I've found to cause problems sometimes (:

If that doesn't work, check to see if you're using the newest version of XSE.

I have been using FSF for my offset, which i put in replacement for the 80000

so maybe i need a newer version of XSE, but i have been searching and it appears that i do :/

File version 1.0.0.0
Product Version 1.00
