Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Check to make sure no other sprites on you map have an event # of 10 - if so, change them to a different #. Try troubleshooting by changing the person event # to a lower #, or swapping event #'s with a less significant sprite. Try deleting and reinserting the sprite. Try a different person ID, like 1004 and see if that works.

[Metroid Die]

Fixed it thanks guys.

Now I have more of a question than a problem. How do I activate the national Pokedex at the beginning of the game? I'm using a FireRed ROM. Is there a certain flag to use, or do I have to call a script etc...?

Thanks for the help so far

Anyways, then:

Turn this line:

to:

compare LASTRESULT 0x1.

@Metroid Die:
I think it's special 0x16F after you've already set the flag for the pokedex.

Sorry, I went to sleep at that time.

I am using a script tile, this is exactly what I want it to do:

The player walks out of his bed and looks up down left and right.
Then he says, "That was a weird dream..."

Do I have to edit something on the tile?

You need to set a variable to the script tile, like 5000, where it says "var number" and put setvar 0x5000 0x1 at the end of your script so it will only happen once.

Alright, so I'm borrowing heavily from Metapod23's daycare-release script to set up a script of my own. The main difference is that I don't want the player to choose which Pokemon gets released, I want the first Pokemon in the party to go into daycare automatically. Wondering if this will work, or if [buffer1] won't pass on all of the necessary info or whatnot:

Spoiler:

#org @start
special2 LASTRESULT 0x84
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto @cant
special2 LASTRESULT 0x85
compare LASTRESULT 0x0
if 0x1 goto @cant
bufferfirstpokemon 0x0
special2 0x8005 [buffer1]
special 0x176
cmdc3 0x2F
goto @finish

The main section I'm concerned with is the part in italics. Is that sufficient to store the Pokemon correctly?

[trae329]

Okay, it worked, but I am trying a new script and it is not working.
I am using the following:
Game: FireRed
Editor: XSE Version 1.1.1
I am using a script tile.
Script:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x(FSF Offset)

#org @start
applymovement 0xFF @move
msgbox @1 0x6
end

#org @move
#raw 0x1
#raw 0x0
#raw 0x3
#raw 0x2

#org @1
= That was a weird dream...

Please help, it does the script, but at the end it won't let the player move.

I don't think that will work, because the buffer command only stores names, not the data for the Pokemon itself. Not sure how you could make that script work.

Mhm..try this. I think the movements are wrong. Then again, I'd have to look.

[gl3500]

What i want to happen is have the sprite go through the door, have a slight delay, then the message "...." pops up and can only be closed with a. Also, i only want the event to happen once, i am just not sure how to use the flags for this, or rather where to place them, i am using firered. Any help appreciated. Thanx My script is almost perfect, i am just having this one problem. I know that the "...." won't come up in this script, i just accidentally erased the one where it does, but that doesn't matter as what i want to do is mentioned above, can anybody please help correct my script so i can see how to do this. Thanx 4 any help.

No, bufferpokemon would not work. What you should do is copybyte @varadress @first_slot_of_pokemon_adress

[trebornosliw]

Ah, that makes more sense, thanks.
So,
copybyte 0x8005 (firstpokemon), does anyone know where the first Pokemon's data is stored? Is there a FIRST_PARTY_POKEMON shortcut or whatnot?

[NarutoActor]

no xD
copybyte 0xadressofvar (not var)
also look at jpans work, or hackmews highest level routine. (do some reasherch ^.^)

You mean I actually have to look stuff up for myself?
*sigh*
Oh well... so be it.

Okay I'm stuck again.

I used this script:

Spoiler:

#org 0x167643
msgbox 0x8167B5F MSG_NORMAL '"I am the master of the shadows.\pT..."
fadescreen 0x1
showsprite 0x21
hidesprite 0x17
setflag 0x139
clearflag 0x121
fadescreen 0x0
release
end

I have the person I want to disappear's person event ID set to 17, but that person doesn't disappear between the flash. He disappears as normal once I walk away and come back (but even that is only because of the setflag).

I've used the exact script earlier today and it worked fine :/

Would the fact he is placed on a new map be a possible cause?

EDIT: Fixed. It seems you can't use the hidesprite command on an overworld which has a double-digit person event ID? It worked when I switched his to someone elses (whose was 9)

The problem was that you need to convert the # to hex in the script. 17 = 11 in hex, because it counts like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10 11

So it should have been hidesprite 0x11.

But yeah, it's always simpler to use lower #s for sprites that involve movements and stuff.

[Nikolai Fox]

Oooh I didn't realise the script need it to be in hex. I just assumed because they weren't in hex in A-Map. Should have known lol

Hi, I'm trying to make a give pokemon script. To be more specific, I'm trying to make a pokeball sprite give a pokemon to our hero and then vanish. Here's what I've got so far and any help would be better than none.

#org $start
lock
faceplayer
message $yup
$yup 1 =Would you like this (pokemon)?
boxset 5
compare LASTRESULT 1
if B_FALSE goto $finish
givepokemon (pokemon #) 10 0
setflag 0x(person id)
#raw 0x53
#raw 0x(person event #)
#raw 0x00
release
end

#org $finish
release
end

Thanks!

First, use spoilers (just put [SPOILER*] before and [/SPOILER*] after the script, minus the asterisks), it's in the rules.
Second, I highly recommend that you switch to XSE. It's not at all hard to learn after you've gone through the Pokescript basics, it's much more efficient, far less buggy, and people won't despise you for using it. Here's a tut: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthr...t=xse+tutorial
Now, as for the script, there are a couple of problems I can see (keep in mind this isn't my forte).
First, $yup needs to be a separate segment, so move it down. Second, it would be best to have a "closeonkeypress" command before "release, end" in $finish, to get rid of that box, though I'm not sure if that command works for Pokescript or not. You can always just add another message, like "Oh, okay then," instead.
Corrections in bold, I'm doing the extra message for now.

#org $start

boxset 5
compare LASTRESULT 1

end

#org $yup 1
= Would you like this (pokemon)?

#org $nope 1
= Oh, okay then... '(It should also be noted that I'm not sure this is the right way to write strings in Pokescript...)

...
I have no idea what the #raws are for here. What was your intention with these?
