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 :/

you need waitmovement 0x0 after the applymovement.

[dr4g0n12]

I do not understand why this doesnt work. When I talk to the sprite, it does the message, makes the player dissapear, then freezes. Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

Thanks again Swift

And another question.. How can you change what song a certain type of Trainer plays? (Eg: CHAMPION plays the champion theme and GYM LEADERs play the gym leader theme)

Edit: To the above: Did you make sure the warp is correct? Also, try removing that "release", it changes nothing with it being there anyway.

Also, if you want to save that tiny bit of extra text, remove the end after the warp. Warping automatically ends a script anyway.

[SwiftSign]

Dragon12:

warp 0x0 0x64 0xFF 0xF 0x14

Nikolai Fox:

I think you can do that in A-Trainer?

DawnGold:

You can use Shinyzer (In HackMew's thread) or the FireRed hacked engine here.

[Nikolai Fox]

Nah swift you can only change the intro music it plays when you interact with their overworlds in A-Trainer =/

What I mean is, when you select a Trainer in A-Trainer, you can give Trainers a tag like "BUG CATCHER", which plays the default Trainer battle music, or "LEADER" which plays the Gym Leader music in battle. I'm wondering if there's away you can get a list of these Trainer "types", and make it for example all Pokemon with the tag BUG CATCHER play the Gym Leader music.


And another question. How do I set someone a map, and have them hidden until I set a flag on another map?

[Jordy San]

Hello guys.
i recently got into scripting again, and I screwed up somehwere in this code:

#dynamic 0x800FD8

#org @start
checkflag 0x1003
if 0x1 goto @rocket
end

#org @rocket
playsong 0x112 0x0
applymovement 0x04 @1
applymovement 0x05 @2
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @10 0x2
applymovement 0xFF @3
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0x04 @4
applymovement 0x05 @5
msgbox @11 0x2

msgbox @12 0x2

#org @1

#raw 0x00

#org @5
#raw 0x00



#org @10
= Guy: Ok kid, hand over the egg!\pGirl: Do it now!

#org @11
= Guy: What's that?

#org @12
= Girl: The egg hatched!\pGuy: Well, we have no other choise\nthen to  battle you for it.

#org @before
= Hand that PIKACHU over!

#org @after
= How could we lose?

When I step on the tile the script uses, the player just gets locked. I know the flag is correct... soo.. Where did I screw up (this time) :\

[destinedjagold]

^
Maybe add a "nop" command after your playsong command?
not sure though. Haven't used the playsong command for a while now.
Or maybe you need to set the Unknown numbers on your script tile on A-Map.

[Nikolai Fox]

Jordy, did you give your script a variable number in Advance Map?


And another question. How do I set someone a map, and have them hidden until I set a flag on another map?

[Binary]

@Nikolai Fox: Make a level script that checks the flag and shows the sprite if it is set.

[Nikolai Fox]

Thanks Binary, how do I make a level script?

Also, what is wrong with this script?

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x1617E8
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x81619E9 MSG_NORMAL '"Dad: Welcome back son.\p[player]: ..."
givepokemon 0x4002 0x1 0x8B 0x0 0x0 0x0
release
end

It should give me a pikachu (i copied it from my other script), but when i save it, it replaces release and end with
nop
braille2 0xoffset

And just freezes if I try it ingame :/

A good level-script tutorial would be here.

Try decompiling and replacing the
nop
braille2 0xoffset
part with release end. Or maybe compile again in a free offset.

[Nikolai Fox]

I tried compiling it in a free offset, but it still froze. It kept the release and end though. Is it as simple as just using the "givepokemon" script?
It is the first pokemon as well, if that makes a difference.

(thanks for the link)

[PeregrineFig]

If it's the first Pokemon, a certain flag has to be set to receive it, I had a similar problem when writing my hack's starter script. I just dug up my script and found that if you're hacking FireRed, you need to precede the givepokemon command with setflag 0x828 and setflag 0x291. (or at least, that's what I have in my working script) Hope this works for you. Also, I've found that those issues where commands get changed to weird non-working things happens a lot in PKSV (I don't know if this is what you're using or not), which is why I switched over to XSE. A lot fewer bugs in compiling.

[Nikolai Fox]

EDIT: Okay next problem. I tried out that level script, and here it is:

'---------------
#org 0x160AA7
checkflag 0x104
if 0x1 goto 0x8160B0C
hidesprite 0x2
end

'---------------
#org 0x160B0C
showsprite 0x2
end

I have the person's person ID set to 2, I'm assuming that should work? I used the script type on entering map/not on menu close :/

I don't want everything to be shiny.

I want to create a Red Gyrados type of event. How would i do that?

Call the asm again to cancel it.

Person ID is used for flags. It would actually be far easier for you to set person ID to 0104 and delete the level script, that way if flag 104 is set the person vanishes. Hidesprite won't permanently hide it, as soon as you walk off the tile the script took place on the sprite reappears.

[Nikolai Fox]

Wow thanks peregrinfig. Now how would I make her re-appear? I've not used this method before.

Also: Is there a script to make music fade in? playmusic 0x000 just makes it burst straight in. Sounds quite sloppy =/

[shiny quagsire]

Use clearflag 0xFLAG. It will appear again.

Also, I made a script to edit wild pokemon data when a person is talked to. The script works, but it wont write the byte to the pokemon data offset. Why won't it write????

[Nikolai Fox]

I don't know about that wild pokemon script =/

Next question..

What is wrong with this?

[spoiler]#dynamic 0x100000

end

#org @goplease

end


#org @goodmorningson

#org @goonthen

I want it to play the text (which it does) and to activate running shoes. I have it set the flag after speaking to him for this first time, but when i try to run outside, nothing :/

The reason is because you have two flags. Try removing the "checkflag 0x1000" and "setflag 0x1000" then add "checkflag 0x82F" at the start.

[Nikolai Fox]

EDIT: I figured out my problem. I modified Pallet Town and Route 01 and somehow changed their place "type". So I can run but not in those areas. Gonna have a look what was changed when I imported them.

Nope. The solution was... Making the headers of those areas "Show Village Names" instead of "Show Names". Didn't think that would affect running but whatever XD

Umm, because you can't write to the ROM? You wouldn't be able to make a script that does this. Remember, you can ONLY write to the RAM.

Oh, well, I had a similar script, and the problem was because of having 2 flags in one script. :/

Also for information, editing the headers can also be a way to run inside, etc.

[Nikolai Fox]

"Also for information, editing the headers can also be a way to run inside, etc. "
I noticed, I'll remember that

So does anyone know how to alter what players play what tracks? The way I understand it, the music that plays depends on the type of trainer, such as "BUG CATCHER", "RIVAL" or "LEADER". I'm assuming someone there is a script with a list of those, telling the game which track to play?
