Scripting Tutorial - PokeScript

[mcdooby]

Hey everyone im new to the forums and very new to scripting and i was wondering if u could help when i do this:

Click save as
type in the name of the script, and at the end put .rbc
Now, click file type, and scroll down to All Files.

Go to your script location, right click and click "Compile".
Your script should open in Pokescript and then BufRite should open.
Some offsets should be listed, click the top offset and click Assign.
The window should change, click File -> Burn. Find the offset at $begin and write it down somewhere.
Open up A-Map, load the map you want the script inserted.
Click the person and there should be a box that say's: Script Offset, insert the offset there and save.

You've succesfully inserted a new script!

I get up to click assign and i get a new window which is an open file window im not sure what to do next cause i haven't got an offset for the script and if i select a pkm rom i click assgin again uncheck reserve i get a 0 next to $begin if i don't uncheck reserve i get nothing so can anyone help please because i would really like to learn how to script and i know this is a really noob question so sorry and thanks in advance

You have to klick file-destination before you klick on the blue symbol, then this window will not open anymore.

@knight: If I don't know what script you used, I can't say what the problem is.
Try this:

#org $begin
lock
faceplayer
message $1
$1 1 = I am a man...
boxset 6
release
end

If your script is right but doesn't work, you made a mistake when compiling it into the rom.

Im trying to do the oran berry test. Works fine until after I receive the berry and try to talk to person again it freezes.

Here is my script.

#ORG $ShowScript
Lock
Faceplayer
Checkflag 0x200
if b_true go to $Alreadygot
message $Getitem
$Getitem 1 = Do you like oran berries?
Boxset 5
compare LASTRESULT 1
if 1 goto $yes
message $no
$no 1 = Thats too bad.
Setflag 0x200
boxset 6
release
end

#ORG $Yes
message $Hereyougo
$Hereyougo 1 = I only need 1.
boxset 6
Giveitem 0x8B 0x1
Setflag 0x200
Release
End

#ORG $Alreadygot
message $Onlyone
$Onlyone 1 = I need this other one!\pDon't be greedy!
Boxset6
Release
End

You shouldn't really come to this tutorial, as i've abandoned it.
Why do you write every command with a capital at the start? . It doesn't matter, it's just annoying to me.

Anyways, your only problem is that in the Alreadygot script, boxset doesn't have a space between the 6. Just a small mistake. It sometimes happens, so go over your scripts well .

[qwerty10]

1. I use capitals because I used Irish Witch's tutorial first.

2. Where do I go if I have a question about scripting.

3. It did not work putting the space between Boxset and 6. Although I think the problem is that when I'm going through the steps to put it in my rom, on the part where you click burn, it says put an offset for Berry.go and I dont know what to do so I just put anything. (The name of the file I saved for Notepad is Berry.)

[Artificial-Insanity]

okay, how do you make it so when you walk on a certain spot, and a person says something then walks onto the screen to the player? (Yeah, bassically like the oak script)

[Toorchic]

Is there a script that gives you the pokemon if you win a battle?

Also, how do you define the trainers pokemon?

Thanks

[Dr Gregory House]

hi,
i made a script using scriptED where a man gives you a totodile.
When i load the rom, i get a white screen.
What's wrong?
here's the script:

#org 0x811111
Lock
FacePlayer
MsgBox Hi \v\h01\! Take this\nTotodile!
BoxSet 0x6
GivePokemon 0x208 0x7 0x0
Release
End

#org 0x
= Thanks \v\h01\
Release
End

Can somone help me. This script is from Fire Red and its the move tutor that teaches your pokemon Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, and Frenzy Plant. I want to put the script into Emerald.

[jimsta]

Now, click file type, and scroll down to All Files.

Go to your script location, right click and click "Compile".
Your script should open in Pokescript and then BufRite should open.
Some offsets should be listed, click the top offset and click Assign.
Mine opened up an open... thing were i had to pick a file.what i pick?
The window should change Yes it then opened a reserve... thing?
,click File -> Burn. Find the offset at $begin and write it down somewhere. i cant find it anywere?
Open up A-Map, load the map you want the script inserted.
Click the person and there should be a box that say's: Script Offset, insert the offset there and save.

Thanks for the great tutorial. Do you know how to put in that "Player recieved ...." music. If you do can you post it in. It would be much apreciated.

It comes with PokeScript.

[PhaizeD]

Well, I'm just now trying to learn how to do this and I can't seem to do what the tutorial says is the easiest part. . .

Go to your script location, right click and click "Compile".
Your script should open in Pokescript and then BufRite should open.
Some offsets should be listed, click the top offset and click Assign.
The window should change, click File -> Burn. Find the offset at $begin and write it down somewhere. (This part lost me. Apparently there's a step between clicking Assign and the File-> Burn thing because when I click assign, a file browse window pops up, and I have no clue what to do after that. After the file browse window is gone, there's a small window that says reserve at the bottom. Neither of these are mentioned here so I have no clue what to do. I also don't know what I'm supposed to select after choosing burn. If anyone could tell me, I'd be grateful.)
Open up A-Map, load the map you want the script inserted.
Click the person and there should be a box that say's: Script Offset, insert the offset there and save.

You've succesfully inserted a new script!

There is a missing step. First click assign and a browser should appear. Go to your rom that you are hacking and click on it. Some offsets will appear, choose one, go to assign then File, Burn.

Umm... I've done everything, unfortunatly when I compile the script I get the
"File Not Found or user cancel" error, then when I insert the script into A-map,
then when I try the script the game crashes. Will anyone please help me?

Here's the pokescript log:

Hello, I have a problem..
I use Pokescrip 1.2 and I managed to make a .rbc file. When I compile it, only Pokescript comes up and the other thing with the offset's doesn't appear..
Can someone help?

[Gundam-Fighter]

Hi, I'm new here and I'm setting up an unnamed hack of fire-red and I've got a script that won't get onto the rom and I'm not sure if it's the script or the length of the script that stops it working can someone help?

PS: Steeldrom is a different version of a Rhyhorn. I'm respriting alot of pokemon as the hack's based in a different time period to the other games so there are different pokemon.
