ScriptEd Tutorial - By CheesePeow
Introduction: I decided to make a tutorial because many people are finding PokeScript troublesome (especially beginners) mainly because it is hard to find the requirements. Also, ScriptEd is much better because of one special thing, you can find your own offsets depending on how much space you need. So I found this very usefull, plus this tutorial will work greatly with XSE. Because it runs on the same sought of system. So hopefully some people will convert to ScriptEd or XSE in the future.
Lets get started shall we?
But before that, a few answers to some questions.
Q: Where can I download ScriptEd?
A: ScriptEd can be found in the EliteMap package, or downloaded at Studiopokemon.
Q: My script isn't working... Why?
A: You should go over the script for errors by yourself, and if it still isn't working, post it here.
Q: My PokeScript scripts don't work in ScriptEd?
A: ScriptEd scripts are much different to PokeScript.
Those are some of the main questions, but lets get started. (for real this time)
Basic Message:
Well, in ScriptEd, we need to start with an offset.
Basic offsets start with 0x and then depending on where your offset is.
For instance, for a basic message, we would need only a small offset, we don't want to put it all over the place right?
Lets go with 0x800000, because theres alot of free space after that.
So we start with #org 0x800000
We also need a lock and faceplayer command after that, why you ask? Because without these commands the hero, and the person your talking to will walk around while the text box is still there. We don't want that do we?.
Now we've got our main header.
Code:
#org 0x800000
lock
faceplayerNow we need to add callstd, which is the boxset command.
There are a couple of callstd commands, here is a list I know.
Code:
1. callstd 0x6 - basic message box.
2. callstd 0x5 - used for yes and no scripts.
3. callstd 0x3 - signpost command.Now, if we've got that, we need to end the script there. Put in release and end, which will release the players from lock and also end the script.
But where does the message go? The message goes after the main paragraph. This is what our message wants to look like.
Code:
Hi [player]!
How are you today?So this is what it looks like:
Code:
#org 0x800100
= Hi \v\h01!\nHow are you today?This is the command for the heroes name, if you want your rivals name use \v\h06.
So this is what our script looks like:
Code:
#org 0x800000
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x800100
callstd 0x6
release
end
#org 0x800100
= Hey \v\h01!\nHow are you today?I'll go over yes/no scripts some other time, I want to show you guys some givepokemon and giveitem scripts, which you'll use alot :)!
Givepokemon
With a givepokemon script we only need a simple command, but wait, we have a problem, well two. Sometimes when creating givepokemon we get an error, where it says it cant register the command, thats because sometimes we need an ever bigger command. The normal command would be:
givepokemon 0x0 (pokemon number in hex) 0x0 (Pokemon level) 0x0 (item)
But in some cases we need it even bigger, but this is rare.
givepokemon 0x5 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0xFFFFFF 0xFF
You probably wont get this problem though, so it doesn't matter.
But the other problem is getting the Pokemon repeadetly?
we need something called a flag, which can be set, removed or checked. Here is a larger explanation.
Code:
Setflag - Sets a flag for it to be checked, or removed.
Checkflag - Checks if a flag has been set.
Removeflag - removes a flag if it has been setBut lets get to the givepokemon command, here are a list of Pokemon.
You'll need to convert them into hex with your scientific calculator. (windows)
Spoiler:
Now to get into the command.
How about we get into yes/no with this aswell?
In ShinyGold there is a Pikachu script, which asks you yes or no, answer yes, you get a Pikachu level 10, answer no it just says Pika... :(.
So we need this command.
Code:
msgbox 0x800000
callstd 0x5
compare lastresult 0x1
if 0x1 goto 0x800100So lets go over it, the commands go as below:
Code:
offset
lock
faceplayer
checkflag
if 0x1 goto
msgbox
callstd
compare lastresult
if 0x1 goto
msgbox
callstd
release
end
offset
lock
msgbox
callstd
givepokemon
setflag
release
end
messages go below:Heres our final script:
Code:
#org 0x800000
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x200
if 0x1 goto 0x800100
msgbox 0x800200
callstd 0x5
compare lastresult 0x1
if 0x1 goto 0x800300
msgbox 0x800400
callstd 0x6
release
end
#org 0x800300
lock
msgbox 0x800500
callstd 0x6
givepokemon 0x19 0x5 0x0
setflag 0x200
release
end
#org 0x800200
= Pikachu?
#org 0x800400
= Pikachu :(
#org 0x800500
= Pika! :D
#org 0x800100
nop
release
endGiveitem
Giveitem is the same as givepokemon, though all we need is:
giveitem 0x0(item number) 0x0(how many)
though in some cases the program will again unregister it, so we add a 0x1 at the end.
though in some cases the program will again unregister it, so we add a 0x1 at the end.
So we do the same sought of script, so theres really no point in me going over it all over, i'll just provide you with a list of items.
Spoiler:
Thanks to TB Pro for letting me steal his item and poke list xP.
(I didn't want to get it off my other computer)
Thats all for now, i'll work on the tutorial when I can.
THANKYOU!
THANKYOU!
