Spenceroone3's Scripting Tutorial

[pokeglitch86]

Ok well I've just been taking some off of this site. Just so I can know that it's working before I start making scripts. Here they are though:

#org $Showtext
lock
faceplayer
message $Hello
$Hello 1 = How ya going?\pGood? That's awesome!!
boxset 6
release
end
----------
#ORG $ShowText
Lock
Faceplayer
message $NoCookie
$NoCookie 1 = I'm not made of cookies!\lYou only get one.
boxset 6
release
end
----------
#org $begin
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x232
if B_true goto $gotit
message $q
boxset 6
message $mygod
boxset 6
givepokemon 131 5 0
message $NameCharm
boxset 5
setflag 0x232
setflag 0x828
release
end

#org $gotit
message $hi
boxset 6
release
end

#org $hi
$hi 1 = How's your LAPRAS doing?

#org $q
$q 1 = What's that you need\na pokemon. Take this\nLapras. I found it\non the beach. It\nneeds a good\p trainer.

#org $mygod
$mygod 1 = You received the LAPRAS!

message $NameCharm
$NameCharm 1 = Would You like to give \nLAPRAS a name?
boxset 5
compare LASTRESULT 1
if b_False goto $seeya
Namepokemon
setflag 0x203

message $seeya
$seeya 1 = Thanks!
release
end

Okay...I used the tutorial on the Give Pokemon script - but the Pokemon option isn't added to the start menu. Also, it doesn't give me the option to nickname the Pokemon, I just get it and that's it. What am I doing wrong? >_>;;;

For the pokemon menu you have to set the flag 800
and the other thing, the nickname, uhmm, is maybe something you
forgot, show me the script and i can help you

[Himochi]

Here's the script:
Where do I place the 800 setflag? >_>;

#org $begin
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x232
if B_true goto $gotit
message $givetyrogue
boxset 6
message $gottyrogue
boxset 6
givepokemon 236 1 0
message $NameTyrogue
boxset5
setflag 0x232
setflag 0x828
release
end

#org $gotit
message $hi
boxset 6
release
end

#org $hi
$hi 1 = You can keep that TYROGUE! Really!

#org $givetyrogue
$givetyrogue 1 = Hey, 'haven't seen you around before.\nYou're new to the Kaikon Region?\p................\n................\pNice to meet you! I'm KENNETH!\nYou don't have any Pokémon, do you?\pHere, take this TYROGUE. Use it to get to\nthe next town, where you can buy\pPokéballs to catch your own!

#org $gottyrogue
$gottyrogue 1 = KENNETH gave you a TYROGUE!

message $NameTyrogue
$NameTyrogue 1 = Do you want to give\nthe Tyrogue a nickname?
boxset 5
compare LASTRESULT 1
if b_False goto $seeya
Namepokemon
setflag 0x203

message $seeya
$seeya 1 = Good luck! I'll see you around!
release
end

[pokeglitch86]

Does anybody know the flag for the ability to surf?

[+Sneasel™]

You should ask that in teh script help thread in tehs scrap box.

[derv1205]

Himochi: Here is the script corrected

Spoiler:

#org $begin
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x800
if B_true goto $gotit
message $givetyrogue
boxset 6
givepokemon 236 5 0
goto $Next

#org $gotit
message $hi
boxset 6
release
end

#org $Next
lock
message $NameTyr
$NameTyr 1 = Do you want to give\nthe Tyrogue a nickname?
boxset 5
compare LASTRESULT 1
if 1 goto $Namepkmn
setflag 0x800
setflag 0x203
message $seeya
boxset 6
release
end

#org $Namepkmn
fadescreen 0x01
special 0x009E
#raw 0x27
setflag 0x203
setflag 0x800
message $bye
boxset 6
release
end

#org $hi
$hi 1 = You can keep that TYROGUE! Really!

#org $givetyrogue
$givetyrogue 1 = Hey, 'haven't seen you around before.\nYou're new to the Kaikon Region?\p................\n................\pNice to meet you! I'm KENNETH!\nYou don't have any Pokémon, do you?\pHere, take this TYROGUE. Use it to get to\nthe next town, where you can buy\pPokéballs to catch your own!\pKENNETH gave you a TYROGUE!

#org $seeya
$seeya 1 = Good luck! I'll see you around!

#org $bye
$bye 1 = Good luck! I'll see you around!

Look, when you put for eg.

givepokemon 236 5 0
message $NameTyrogue
setflag 0x800
release
end

message $NameTyrogue
$NameTyrogue 1 = etc etc

Thats bad man, you have to put this:

givepokemon 236 5 0
message $NameTyrogue
boxset 5(6)
setflag 0x800
release
end

#org $NameTyrogue
$NameTyrogue 1 = etc etc

That's why some parts didnt work

And also, in the part of "NamePokemon" put this instead of NamePokemon:
fadescreen 0x01
special 0x009E
#raw 0x27

Is better that way Thanks to thethethethe for telling me that when i need help
in one of my scripts

It must work I had tried it, if something happens, post it here

[pokeglitch86]

Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this script it keeps freezing the game whenever I use it.

#org $begin
checkflag 0x198
if B_true goto $done
applymovement 0x02 $mw1
pause 0x10
message $mt1
boxset 6
applymovement 0xFF $mw2
pause 0x10
release
end

#org $done
release
end

#org $mw1
$mw1 ; #binary 0x02 0xFE

#org $mt1
$mt1 1 = We have now departed for\nValencia Island.\pYou may explore the ship.

#ORG $mw2
$mw2 1 ; #binary 0x11 0xFE

I edited it in bold, try it!

Also, fill this out in advance map for the script.
Unknown= 03 00
Var= 52 40

Leave the rest blank

[pokeglitch86]

Thank you very much! It works!

Namepokemon
setflag 0x203

message $seeya
$seeya 1 = Thanks!
release
end


the person that i am talking is still moving when i talk! how can i fix it

[Jack of Bl♠des]

Okay, I'm trying to get this whole scripting thing down. After I write once, save it as an .rbc, open it in Bufrite, and burn it to a ROM, how/where do I find the Offset. All I see after clicking burn is

sega.$showtext (800024)
sega.$hello (800030)

The script was what was used in the first post of this thread.

But to my knowledge, an outset is supposed to be marked like $XXXXXX, the X's representign numbers, right. (sega was the name of my file btw)

i click compile on my script then it says runtime error 5, in valid procedure call or arguement wat is this and how do i fix this

[Fendaril]

you guys make fun of all the newbies lol

[Jack of Bl♠des]

Nevermind, I seem have found the solution to my problem....I forgot to put the "$" when I put the offset in Advance Map ;

[Jack of Bl♠des]

Your Yes/No script has a minor error. Instead of "B_TRUE" you just need to put in "1". Otherwise you'll get the same result regardless of what you pick.

[adamb241]

When I compile the script and hit burn and everything, I put the offsets into A map and then when I go to talk to the guy......The game freezes....What did I do wrong?

Here is my script



#org $showtext
lock
fackplayer
message $Welcome
$Welcome 1 = Welcome, hope you enjoy\pyour stay
boxset 6
release
end

you put "fackplayer" instead of "faceplayer"

[iPredator]

hey when i compile the mew wildbattle script it say runtime error "457"

"the key is already associated with an element of this collection"

what should i do?

[a new killer, ramoteh]

Knight,this tutorial isn't trustful
Also,as Night_Black said,go to thetheththe's tutorial!!!!
It has a perfectly working one there

[/Circa]

Your not supposed to take scripts from tutorials, your supposed to learn how to script :l
If your not going to learn how to script, simply don't. Copying scripts wont get you anywhere.

[PeregrinFig]

I tried creating a script, and when I put it into my LeafGreen rom and checked the sign, I got a boxset 5-type text box with choice of 'FRESH WATER' or 'EXIT', then when I picked one, regardless of which, I got a yes/no box with no options (just a blank space) and when I pressed A everything froze. The same thing happened when I put it on a person, except without the fresh water part. This is my script, can you tell me what's wrong, thanks:

#org $Showtext
lock
faceplayer
message $sign
$sign 1 = OUTSET TOWN\nThe starting point of power
boxset 6
release
end

EDIT: I also tested this on a clean FireRed and Ruby ROM, then a ROM of Pokemon Marble, Quartz, and Mystical Glacier, and it failed on all of them. Is it possible I'm compiling the script wrong? I right-click and choose compile, then when Buf-Rite comes up, I click the bok and select my .gba file, then clcik the searchlight and choose the first offset, then copy the offset code next to $Showtext into A Map. Please help, I really want to know what's wrong here!

[Umbreon 27alpha]

Quick question please, for a give item script, what do i assign an offset to? all four of them? or just the first? or what what? Please help! Thanks in advance.

Are you making sure to burn the script to your ROM? The script you showed seems perfectly fine. If you are, then I need to know what you're burning it to. Is it a signpost or a person?

It depends i guess. Are the items all going to be in one script?
