There is a space after the "=". XSE checked that.

When I open the script in A-map, the following loads:
(I replaced the script with the default script from diegoisawesome's tutorial)

'-----------------------
#org 0x161875
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x81615B3 '"Hi.\nMy name is Diego."
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x1615B3
= Hi.\nMy name is Diego.

As you can see the offset after "msgbox" is 0x81615B3 instead of the real offset "0x1615B3". Replacing the offset or deleting the "8" doesn't work. When I compile and check it, the "8" is back again...
Is this supposed to happen? I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong. It does actually explain the problem...

^ If you decompile any script in the ROM, you will find that this is normal. I do not know why, but maybe it is calling an offset, which as you may have noticed needs an '8', in the ROM that is holding the text strings(?). Wait for good hackers to answer you.

[Kazbat028]

How would I script the following: (I know the commands for the text, but I think I have it in the wrong order). Secondly, what type of event would it be in Advancemap?
1. Pokeball on the table.
2. Press 'A' on pokeball, oak asks: So it's Chikorita that you want?
3. You say no, script ends.
4. You say yes, Oak says: Then it's yours! Take good care of it!
5. Fanfare plays and text that says "\v\h01 recieved the Chikorita from Oak!"
6. The sprite disappears and the event is not accessible anymore.

[1-Up]

Yeah I've seen that 8 appear, its normal as far as I can tell. I don't know why it isn't working, looks perfect. So yeah wait for a good hacker to answer this. I'm not good enough, haha. But I figured I'd try since it is an easy script. But this problem makes no sence to me, it should work. Thats why I figured maybe there was an offset problem.. Good luck though.

What Ficher said is true.
And adding to that, you could decompile and change it to something like:

Spoiler:

'-----------------------
#org 0x161875
msgbox 0x81615B3 MSG_FACE '"Hi.\nMy name is Diego."
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x1615B3
= Hi.\nMy name is Diego.

MSG_FACE is automatic lock and faceplayer. Or you could just use a 0x4 boxset, which is the same thing.

msgbox @pointer 0x4

Well thanks everyone for your help. I have been able to fix it somehow. I took a look at the scripts in the original FireRed ROM, and there was this command 'callstd 0x2' after the msgbox-line. I don't know what 'callstd 0x2' exactly means, but it did let the messagescript work.
So, eventually, I wrote this as (temporate) script:

#dynamic 0x161895
#org @start
msgbox @clefairy 0x4
callstd 0x2
end

#org @clefairy
= CLEFAIRY came from the moon.\nThat's what the rumor is.\pThey appeared after MOON STONES\nfell on MT. MOON.

So, just like Binary said, I used the 0x4 command. And besides that the callstd 0x2... So, what is it actually I'm using? '

[Ash493]

You don't need to worry about that 8 You can view it as... well... signal that the msgbox is working

6. The sprite disappears and the event is not accessible anymore.

1. Put pokeball's sprite on table with A-Map
Now onto the script

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
lockall
msgbox @1 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto @yes
releaseall
end

#org @yes
msgbox @2 0x6
givepokemon 0x98 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x828
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @3 0x4
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
applymovement 0x(sprite number of pokeball) @move
waitmovement 0x0
setflag 0x(some number) and the same number put into person ID in A-Map
releaseall
end

#org @move
you must put here movement which hides pokeball and moves it outta screen

#org @1
= Oak: So it's Chikorita that you want?

#org @2
= Oak: Then it's yours!\nTake good care of it!

#org @3
= \v\h01 recieved the Chikorita from Oak!

I haven't scripted longer scripts in a while so it might not be really correct...

Sorry if this is not the place to post this. I can't seem to find it in any tutorials.

How do I make a healing script?
What #raw do I use? How do I use it? etc.. Please help...

If you're using XSE it's pretty simple.

So, just to make everything clear. I had this problem because I had an old version of XSE. Earlier I had a newer version, but that was on another PC. Now I updated XSE and everything work fine in the 'normal' way. (That means, without "callstd 0x2" but with "msgbox @pointer 0x4")
Thanks for everyones help again!

Really? It's that simple? Do I just put it near the bottom of the script?

Whenever you want to It can be anywhere.

[Kazbat028]

okay, so here's the script I wrote for Poketscript.

Spoiler:

#org $script
lock
message $question
$question 1 = Oak: So, you'll take Chikorita?
boxset 5
compare 0x800D 0x0001
if 0x01 goto $yes
message $no
$no 1 = Oak: Alright then. Which do you want?
boxset 6
release
end

#org $yes
message $okay
$okay 1 = Then it's yours!
boxset 6
fanfare 0x13E
message $cort
givepokemon 152 5 0xCD
$cort 1 = Cort recieved the Chikorita!
boxset 6
pause 0x30
fadescreen 1
removesprite 0x0909
pause 0x30
fadescreen 0
release
end

It's supposed to say the messages, ask the questions, blah blah blah, fade out, remove the sprite, and fade back in. Here's what happens:

1. You get asked the question.
2. When I say yes, the fanfare plays, and the screen fades out.
3. The screen comes back for one second, with the pokeball sprite still there, and then fades out and STAYS faded.

So. Why? How can I fix this?

Is there a way to put the highest pokemon level in your party into a variable? I'm trying to make the pokemon levels of a person you battle vary on the highest level pokemon in your party.

[Jm20]

I'm working on level scripts right now. It's going fine actually, but I've got a question. Is it possible to have multiple level scripts in one map, of course executes at different moments?
I want to make this:

First time you enter the map:
One OW disappears, hidesprite, setflag and all.
During the game:
You do something that turns a specific flag on (or variable).
Then you enter the map again:
OW appears and walks to you, et cetera (rest not important).

Because if you've run a level script once, it's not coming back anymore is it? Or should you maybe clear the flag you've associated with the level script before? And make a "checkflag 0x[somekindofotherflag], goto @pointer" in the level script so it will run another script. That would work, wouldn't it?

(Sorry for vaguiness )

-when the script runs first time you setflag1
-when the certain event took place you clearflag1 and setflag2

flag1 being the flag you associated with the lvlscript, flag2 being the eventcompletion flag

lousy script example to give you an idea:

Spoiler:

#org 0x800000
#org @start
lock
checkflag2
if 1 goto @secondrun 'the event for the second run took place
setflag1 'levelscript won't run anymore
...
...lines of the first run come here
..
release
end

#org @secondrun
setflag1 'levelscript won't run anymore
..
..lines of the second run come here
..
release
end

Great! Thanks, I'm going to try it out immediately

EDIT: With some fighting with Amap and XSE it turned out beautifully!

Glad i could help, i'm still pretty new too
Now that i'm answering anywayz i'm gona bump my question

Is there a way to put the highest pokemon level in your party into a variable? I'm trying to make the pokemon levels of a person you battle vary on the highest level pokemon in your party.

This is the only thing that is keeping me from finishing my lvlling area (trainer island!!!) Info about this overhere: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthr...=224926&page=2
scroll all the way down :D

Ii don't see anything wrong with your script, though i've never scripted in poketscript. Have you tried it without the pause0x30 between the fadescreens? Maybe it affects the function, other then that i don't have a clue. Try some debugging with a messagebox or something to figure it out.

[Kazbat028]

URGENT. Need to know why. I used this script.

Spoiler:

#org $script
jingle
message $1
$1 1 = Hey, you!
boxset 6
clearflag 0x1215
showsprite 4
applymovement 4 $walk
$walk 1 ; #binary 0x12 0xFE
pausemove 0
applymovement 0xFF $look
$look 1 ; #binary 0x03 0xFE
pausemove 0
message $2
$2 1 = I'm May!
boxset 6
applymovement 4 $walk2
$walk2 1 ; #binary 0x13 0x13 0x13 0x13 0x13 0x13 0x13 0x13 0xFE
pausemove 0
removesprite 4
setflag 0x1215
setvar 0x6000 0x0001
release
end

I used Pokescript and Advance Map. It's a script-type event. I set the 'unknown' to 0003 and the VAR to 6000 as it is in the script. i also set the person who is involved (person # 4)'s ID to 1215. Why isn't it working?

All it does is display the message 'Hey, you!' and then freeze the game.

Messages and movements need to be placed at the END of the script... read thethethethe
's tutorial on pokescript, or move on to XSE

Having problems with level scripts in Advancemap:

When I add a level script in Advancemap in the Header tab, and then choose 'script type' as '02 Validates values, etc.' automatically load the offsets in the "Script offset" box (the greyed one, number 1) and "Script offset 2" box from an other map. Then, when I fill the rest off the boxes and save everything, the two maps have the same level script.

How can I prevent Advancemap to automatically load script offsets from another map?

The only problem I have with XSE is... i don't know how to compile it.

tools->batch compiler
in the popup window choose a rom to apply the script too
then browse to a folder. All scripts in the folder will show in a box
select the ones you want to compile and click compile
it'll work unless your syntax is wrong, then you need to debug
and it will show you your offsets if you were scripting dynamic
