You can use any variable you want, just set it to a value other than the value on the header tab in a script.

So much information that is helpful. Thank you. But ver quickly would the car number need to be in the script somewhere?

The problem is, you put additional commands after a text string. Nothing but text can go in those. After the msgbox @2 0x6, take this entire part:

Spoiler:

givepokemon 0x283 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @4 0x4
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
setflag 0x1200
msgbox @5 0x6
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 gosub @name
msgbox @6 0x6
release
end

and paste it in. That should fix it. I didn't thoroughly look for any other possible problems though, but I don't think you wrote anything else incorrectly.

[PEPITO1O1O]

Never mind I just figured it out by looking at the best tutorial so far:
Diego's.
So thank you Diego

If that's the starter it's giving, a certain flag has to be set to activate the pokemon menu button first. Try setting flag 828 before the givepokemon command. If my off-the-top-of-my-head guess is wrong, decompile a starter script from a clean ROM and check what flags it uses.

yeah it is alright, so um, how do i "decompile" a starter script?

[Chocos0]

Hey everybody! One simple question.... (It's about scripting.. not the simple question thread)


You know when you press "Compile Script" The Log reads the script, but then the Buf Rit window won't appear (The window with the blue book to choose the ROM)
I can assure you, the script has no mistakes whatsoever.
I am using XSE.

Once I searched how to fix it, one of them said I needed to download the latest version of Buf Rit, is that a real file?
If so, can someone help me find it?
Google is no help when searching BufRit.

BufRit isn't part of the scripting scene anymore.
XSE doesn't need BufRit, that compile screen is the screen that tells you where you put your scripts.
(If you are using the NEWEST XSE, version you should be okay.)
Be sure you are scripting in eXtreme Script, instead of PokeScript or ScriptEd. (eXtreme Script is the name I've given XSE's Scripting language.)

To compile the script you right to a ROM, open XSE.
Then, click File --> Open
Open your GBA ROM.

Then, type (Or Copy/Paste) Your script into the XSE Script Box

At this point, I usually check my scripts over for errors by pressing the DEBUG button, if there is an error or revision I want to make, I make it.

Now, press the Compile Button. (The one with 2 Gears next to the Debug Button)

At this point, you should have the Compiler Log open.
The Compiler Log gives you the locations where your scripts were inserted at, as well as a detailed readout on your script(s).

Lets look at the Compiler Log shall we?
(Not posting an image, open up YOUR XSE, and look yourself.)
What you SHOULD see is a window, with 3 boxes in it. (As well as a Copy button)

The big box on top can BASICALLY be ignored as that doesn't seem to be your problem.
The 2^nd box holds offset's "Dynamic Labels" and 3^rd box holds the Compiled Scrip's Locations.

Now, find out which offset you need, by looking at your script.
(Most XSE scripters start their script with a big ol' :
#org @start )
If YOU did, that is PROBABLY what you want to select in the compiler log.

Now, click it in the log, and press the copy button.

NOW, open up A-Map, and find what you want to place the script on.
It goes in the box called "Script Offset" in A-Map

PROTIP
If you decide to reply to this post, dont quote the WHOLE post, that would be annoying and people won't like it.

I've got into doing scripting and im doing quite well but i just want to seek someones advice.

Im using the pokemon fire red rom and im trying to do a script simular to when oak comes to the player when trying to leave pallet town with no pokemon. what im trying to do is when i stand on a script block i want a person to be seen and walk over to me. how ever i want him to be hidden like prof oak is before the script is activated ive tried to put the sprite as hidden in advancedmaps and when scripting use showsprite command but it just runs the script with the script hidden.

can anyone help

thanks
jon

That's not scripting. You just need advancemap.
Find "Inside of Truck" on the list and edit the warps.

[vietazn654]

Alright, what's wrong with this one now?

^ Simple...
You forgot the 0xFE command in your movement script.

#org @move
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x11
#raw 0x11
#raw 0xFE

Always remember to add 0xFE in every end of your movement command scripts.

edit...
by the way, for you to avoid the script to repeat, add the 'setflag' command...

#org @start
checkflag 0x200
if 0x1 goto @done
msgbox @1 0x6
applymovement 0x1 @move
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @2 0x6
setflag 0x200

oh man thanks! totally forgot about that part. thank u destinedjagold :]

Incorrect. If you look at the truck's warps, they don't lead to Littleroot Town at all. There's data somewhere telling it what map bank, number, and coordinates to drop the player. There's a tool floating around that makes it easy to edit for people that are hexadecimally challenged, lazy, or some combination of the two.

Set Prof. Oak's Person ID to 2C and just use showsprite and hidesprite command in the script.

Well, I can't make it any clearer. Don't set the sprite you want to be hidden to hidden. Just set its person ID to 2C. Any sprite with the person ID "2C" will be hidden on your map when you enter. Use showsprite in a script to show it and hidesprite to hide it again.

nvm fixed meh script Anyways I want a script with the dad but messed up symbols pop out after the script. Is it because I need a special flag? Do I need to decompile a start script? :o becuz i dunno how

[dizzyKitty]

Mmk, this is a bit more of a general question and it could probably use more specifics, but:

Occasionally when I code dialogue scripts, I'll compile a script and open it again a few minutes later after opening and compiling others, and the old script will borrow text from a newer one and cut it off. This happens with people as well as signposts and they often mix and match, which kinda irritates me.

For example, I've placed a signpost script on a door that cannot be entered with the text, "The door is locked." (And there is probably a better way to display that script on a door, I'm willing to bet, but this is what I'm using for the time being. Pardon my newbieishness. :3) However, I checked one of my rocket grunts later on, who's script is "What are you looking at?" and it shows up as "What are you looking at?The door is l". At the moment I'm just going back and re-editing things when this happens, and I have a feeling this has something to do with... the offsets running into each other because they're too close together, or something (which doesn't make a lot of sense as there should be enough space for the text?), but I've tried skipping around with offsets as well and it still hiccups occasionally.

I also run into instances where the script will dump random characters ("\h0F \h7c \h80\h08\h09\h03\h02" and so on) at the end of lines. I thought this might be because of extra whitespace at the end of the code, but that doesn't seem to be it.

Little help please? I'm using score_under's PKSV by the way.
