I read a lot of tutorials and thought I had it I dont see anything wrong in the script

Spoiler:

can you please help me PM me or just reply, thanks

Full Metal · #**427** July 24th, 2009, 03:52 PM

Nothing (that i see) is wrong with your script, i'm guessing that you are doing a Green 'S" script? this is easy.
I'm going to assume your using FR
on the green 'S' in A-Map assign a variable, the upper unknown value needs to be set to three,assign a value to that var (through a-map),and then compile this script
changes to your script nescesary to work with my methods are in bold

Spoiler:

Take the script offset of the script you just compiled and set that to be your script offset. OR you can add a setvar in the script either will work, i tend to use the second method though, even though it doesn't stop the script from executing (there isn't a var set to stop it) it makes things less confusing for me. If you need help doing the above please ask and post screenies.

Actually, it was no "closemsg" needed with "release" because release has a closemsg built in - though you should always end your scripts, unless you're jumping.

Also, he doesn't need to set a flag, he was using an AdvanceMap script event - a var needed to be set instead.
However he sent me a patch and we managed to sort the script out between us.

No doubt the next difficult part is to get the thief to stay in the right place after the script.

(Also, if you notice, I blocked off a few small areas making it impossible for that script event not to be activated when you walk into the town.)

Yeah, you could do that - whenever a sprite moves too far off-screen, it is unloaded by the GBA as you "don't need" it any more.

I installed PKSV and used Advanced Map but I don't see a way to save
it. It keeps wanting me to save my work to a file, but I don't see a
way to save it to the rom. I've tried compiling it but when I reopen
the script, it changes back to the condition before I saved it. I'm using v2.0.4.
Is there a specific order I have to do it in? Cause I'm trying to use the disappear function, but every time I try to complie it, the set flag number changes.

make sure you press no with advance map when you chose script editor

techie775 · #**435** July 29th, 2009, 09:49 PM

I got PKSV to work with AdvanceMap. It opens up pksv every time I to look at a script. I just have trouble saving the script. Every time I close out of the program after compiling it it keeps wanting me to save it to a file.

NarutoActor · #**436** July 29th, 2009, 09:57 PM

did you try my idea go to advance map chose script editor then a question will come up and click no( mabey you prese yes) then edit the script and press complie even if the program askes you to save click no or cancel it wants to save a back up sctipt on your actual computor not saving to the rom

That's just in case you want your easier-to-read version to be saved for future edits - just tell it "no" if you don't need that, it'll stay compiled (I promise

).

techie775 · #**439** July 30th, 2009, 03:54 AM

I Finally got it! I forgot for some stuff you have to go to another area and return to the area you want to test your Script to let everything set in. Sudowoodo leaves the area whether you win the battle or not. Thanks for all the help! Here's the code in case someone wants to use it as a reference for a legendary pokemon.

Spoiler:

Highlighted a few mistakes in that quote, here's a "corrected" version with #dynamic commands.

Spoiler:

I hope you're liking these new additions (pokemon IDs resolved to names, levels in decimal, BATTLE_WIPE and other common "special" commands resolved to easy to read names, the label support, the flag "notepad"...)

Format:
battle Pokemon Level Item
Old:
battle 0xB9 0x28 0x0
New:
battle SUDOWOODO 40 NONE

I planned to release this version of PKSV much earlier than I did, but the later release of course means more features.

If anyone needs to know... press ctrl+e to get to the script searcher, and try something like this:

Code:

msgbox any
callstd MSG_FACEPLAYER

Press Compile, "Script", then Search Next...

("Script" is how it is decompiled - those options have no effect on compiling)

I got this:

Code:

#org 0x8160529
'-----------------------------------
msgbox 0x8172255 ' I came here with som...
callstd MSG_FACEPLAYER ' Builtin lock/faceplayer
end


#org 0x8172255
= I came here with some friends to\ncatch us some BUG POK\eMON!\pThey're all itching to get into\nsome POK\eMON battles!

techie775 · #**441** July 31st, 2009, 04:19 PM

Well I tried what you said but now it locks up when you try to talk to sudowoodo. The question I have is how do you enter in the script offset from the example you gave me in to advance map? I'm not familar with dynamics and I don't know how to insert the offset without the numbers for it. And I'm having trouble saving over the script now to try an fix it. I press openscript from advancemap,make the the changes, then compile right? Then Close PKSV? I'm mad at myself for not backing it up before I messed around with it.

The dynamic offsets give you their "real" offset value after you compile it, in a dialog box.

You shouldn't edit scripts you open from advancemap - this is extremely likely to overwrite other scripts.

You can, however, go on to the decompile dialog (the offset will be magically there), check the option in the "dynamic" box, and press "decompile", which will turn it into a dynamic script AND add a "jump" command so that you don't have to edit the offset.

Oh, and I forgot "waitspecial" in the script - added now.

techie775 · #**443** July 31st, 2009, 06:12 PM

Well my question is if you can't use Advance Map to edit you scripts,
then how do you do it? That Decompile method in pksv? I got it so it work like I had it before but when you leave the area and return the tree flag resets it's there again and starts over where you can battle him again. I don't understand what you mean about jump commands. I think I have to put a command in @org code3 so make sudowoodo disappear if you've already battled it. I'm sorta new at alot of this stuff so I might not catch it all. Thanks again.
Here's my script

You seem to have something editable in your dynamic-decompiled output there. You just shouldn't edit scripts directly from AdvanceMap unless you had the dynamic decompiling setting on last time you decompiled, or you are going to decompile it again with that option, or you're 100% sure the compiled bytecode is the same or shorter than the orignal.

Spoiler:

Since you're setting flag 0x225, set Sudowoodo's AdvanceMap Person ID to "225".

Also, the bit I've put in bold you can remove when you compile it - you only need the first #org and the last jump if you want to compile it again - but if you're not going to edit it, don't remove that..

techie775 · #**445** July 31st, 2009, 07:59 PM

Interesting. Changing the Personal ID made it work perfectly and I'll have to look at Decompling. I did have the Dynamic Decompling Checked. Thanks for your help.

The Person ID in AdvanceMap is actually a flag number - if the flag is activated, the person is gone.

Cuttable trees and smashable rocks use temporary flags as their person ID - these are reset whenever you go to another map.

How do you Take your scripts from pksv, and add them to your game and stuff like that. I am new to all this. I'll tell you how much of a noob I am. I thought as soon as you opened your rom, made the script, and saved, that it was on your game already. I guess thats not how it works.
I have two scripts I want to make and copy to my game.
1. a trainer battle
2. Pokemon battle event
And one more question. How do you make a person to use the battle script and battle you? I'm using the script generator. Thanks.

Rocket Grunt Kyle · #**448** August 1st, 2009, 09:12 AM

Hello,

I hate to say it, but I am another noob needing help! I am sure this is mentioned somewhere along the line. But after reading 5 pages, it all starts to blur!

I am trying to make a new event (I am just trying basic stuff to learn, baby steps.). Basically just a pokeball that gives an item. I am placing it on route 1. I use advanced map to place the event. What I cant figure out for the life of me is its offset code. I know there is an offset number at the bottom of the screen. But when I type that code in the offset box i get an error. Also I notice if i click on another event, one that was already there from the game, these two codes are different.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

-Kyle

You press F9 to insert the script into the ROM (to open a ROM, drag it into the PKSV window - you won't get any confirmation, but that will open it).
If you put #quiet at the start of your script, it will only show you important messages in the log window, so you won't have to scroll.

To make a person use the battle script, there are 2 steps: 1. Use a trainer ID that you have edited in a trainer editor, and 2. After compiling, you will be given a dynamic offset list - there should be a hex number (0x-whatever) just after the name of the first part of the script, copy that number and paste it into AdvanceMap's script offset box for a person.

Your "Script Offset" box should now look something like (your number will vary):

Code:

0x8740001

And next time you load the map, the "0x8" will be replaced by "$" (this doesn't mean it has changed at all, it's just another way of showing it).

Well, everyone is a noob at one point. The first few pages are outdated, anyway (back in the good old days of the commandline interface).

If you want to make an item in a pokeball, the script you would use is:

Code:

#dyn 0x740000
#org @start
copyvarifnotzero 0x8000 POTION 'A Potion
copyvarifnotzero 0x8001 1 'One of them
callstd MSG_FIND ' Does the MSGBOX, ADDITEM, DISAPPEAR, and SETFLAG for you.
end

Then to stop the pokeball reappearing, set its "Person ID" in AdvanceMap to an unused flag - you can record your flag usage in PKSV's flag list, if you haven't used any yet it's best to start with 0x200 or similar.

My reply above will probably help with inserting scripts from PKSV with AdvanceMap.

techie775 · #**450** August 1st, 2009, 03:24 PM

I tried doing script for entei now and I used the script generator, battle pokemon , but when I decomplie it all it says is a bunch of raw 0XFF lines and then crashes. Do I have to put #org @start in the first line in the decompling box

Spoiler:

this is all gone when you decompile it and gives a jump 0xFFFFFFFF I don't know if I'm doing something wrong with the dyn# in the offset box or what.
