Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[NarutoActor]

Depends on what your buffering, you can always copy bytes and store them in temporary vars then use copy var and copy the data to a different var.

[locoroco]

how would i go to make a script that allows me to collect 8 badges in 4 different regions and register does badges per region?
also how to make it so it recognizes that iv'e collected 32 badges for pokemon fire red

[Binary]

@locoroco: You don't actually script that. In fact, I think it's not possible for 4 regions in a hack. You could give and check the badges using 'setflag' and 'checkflag'.

[shiny quagsire]

Is there any way to display a variable in a message box without a buffer? I've tried to combine buffers, but it doesn't work.

[NarutoActor]

buffer string. so place your variables in the order of 8000-800A and buffer that string of data. Hope that helped.

Ok... I need help with a trainer.
When I talk to him from the side it works...
But if I go in front of him, he walks up to me and the screen turns red and freezes.

I checked "Trainer", wrote veiw radius "0003" made Unknown "0003", everythioing, but it still freezes!
Also, after I beat him he sees me again and it freezes.

Here is my script:

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x805B57
textcolor 0x0
trainerbattle 0x0 0x1E 0x0 0x8805B72 0x8805BAF
msgbox 0x8805BC2 MSG_NORMAL '"I still need to train, though!"
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x805B72
= I study at Smogen University!\nMy Pokémon are really smart!

#org 0x805BAF
= Nooo! Not again!

#org 0x805BC2
= I still need to train, though!

[locoroco]

well i think your problem is the unknown value set it back to 0000 and the text color thing dont use it i pretty much copied/pasted your script the only difference is that i dint put the unknown value and the text color try it and tell me oh and it work flawlessly

[Nikolai Fox]

I think my head is going to explode! I've been trying to get this ONE script to work for hours now. Little help please?

First here is the script:

-----------------------------
'---------------
#org 0x8001FD
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x880021E MSG_KEEPOPEN '"My name is Red. Let's battle[.]"
trainerbattle 0x3 0x1 0x0 0x880023E
fadescreen 0x1
fadescreen 0x0
hidesprite LASTTALKED
setflag 0x2000
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x80021E
= My name is Red. Let's battle[.]

#org 0x80023E
= [.]

------------------------------


Now the problem:

What I want to happen is: Battle the trainer, trainer disappears, jobs a good 'un.
Here's what happens: Battle the trainer, trainer disappears, leave area, come back and he's there again.

Also, sometimes he doesn't even show up first time. Sometimes I can enter where he is (viridian forest) and he's not there (on a new game), then I can leave and come back and he's there. Strange...

Person event number 12 and Person ID 2000, if that helps...

[locoroco]

i think you forgot checkflag
checkflag 0x2000
if 0x1 goto @battled or watever pointer u wanna use
And in @battled or watever you just do this
#org @????
release
end

and find something to clear the sprite not hide it and that should help you a bit also that person id 2000 is kind of freaky but i dont know im not a expert scripter butttt i hope i helped a bit

You need to add this after faceplayer or at the start of the script

checkflag 0x2000
if 0x1 goto @end

Then add this somewhere in the script

#org @end
release
end

Then it won't repeat itself.

And if you want the trainer to disappear in the fadescreen, you gotta have the hidesprite LASTTALKED between the fadescreen scripts.

[Nikolai Fox]

Thanks Alex. It worked perfectly but...Then I left the area, came back, he's still gone. Did the same about 5 more times and he just randomly re-appeared again?

'---------------
#org 0x8001E1

There's the updated script. I've also attached a picture of how the person script is set up in A-Map.

Yeah, that worked.
Thanks!

@Nikolai Fox
After you talked to him, did you talk to anyone else?
You might have cleared the flag.

[Nikolai Fox]

I hadn't, and when I tried it does the exact same thing. It's just behaving really strangely, and the same happens when I try to make the script from scratch again. Here's what happens in detail:

I get to the end of Viridian Forest and there's like a 50% he will be there. If I leave and come back in, he will either still be there or have vanished. If I leave then return same again. So sometimes he's there sometimes he's not. I don't get it

Edit: I'm uploading a youtube video of it now, it's going to take about an hour though, I have terrible up speed :/

[Binary]

@Nikolai Fox: Did you set the 'person ID' correctly?

[Nikolai Fox]

Edit: This problem has been solved. Thanks SwiftSign

flag 0x2000 may be too high, change it to the 1000 region.

Good clean flags range from 0x1000 to 0x3FFF, so I don't see why 0x2000 would be too high.

[Nikolai Fox]

I'm not sure Omega, but changing it from 2000 to 1000 worked a treat

[Ninja Caterpie]

You don't need the checkflag stuff, either. It's a waste of space, seeing as after you set the flag to 1000, he's gone forever and you're not talking to him again.

[Nikolai Fox]

Quick question: How do you make it so a sprite starts off hidden, and becomes un-hidden when a script is activated? (A perfect example being Gary on S.S. Anne, I've looked at that script thoroughly and can't seem to find it :/)

Thanks.

[NarutoActor]

set the sprite behavior to hidden. then in the beginning of the script applymovement @person @move

@move
#raw 0x61(show)

[Nikolai Fox]

Sorted :D please ignore this message.

What is the special number for a move camera script in r\s?

A move-camera script would look something like this.

Spoiler:

.
.
lockall
special 0x113
applymovement MOVE_CAMERA @mc2
waitmovement 0x0
special 0x114
releaseall
.
.
.

It's a portion of my script..
'lockall' locks all the OWs in the map. After 'lockall' you need special 0x113.
A special 0x114 after the movements, then 'releaseall'. Pretty simple, eh?

[Nikolai Fox]

Game: Fire Red(US)

Okay I'm back..now with a movement script problem. Here is my script:

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x16069F
lock
checkflag 0x64
if 0x1 goto 0x81607FD
msgbox 0x816081D MSG_NORMAL '"[blue_fr]Dad: Hey, where are you g..."
applymovement 0xFF 0x816081B
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x1607FD
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x16081D

'-----------
' Movements
'-----------
#org 0x16081B
#raw 0x11 'Step Up (Normal)
#raw 0xFE 'End of Movements

I want the message box to show up when the player steps on a tile, then move up one. The message box shows up but the player doesn't move :/
