Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS) - Page 229

Puffle754 · #**5701** June 8th, 2011, 01:14 AM

Since my last questions here, I have learned how to write basic scripts, yet I have run into a problem.

On all the youtube scripting tutorials, they click "Compile script", yet my computer won't let me do so. Is there a wayaround this (Like the option encode on the menu in pokescript)? I have tried to use encode with verious scripts, even ones that have been used by numerous people, and have worked.

It has advantage in a fact that champion can have different team each run (if you set it of course :D), isn't that great? :D

Ah, ok I see what you mean. Cool, ty.

Thanks to everyone, actually.

I am attempting to get a simple trainerbattle script to work. When I compile it into a regular FR rom, everything works fine. But when I compile the same script into a rom patched with JPAN's hacked engine, it freezes right before the battle should start and the trainer's music just keeps playing.

Does anyone know what the problem is here? I'm guessing it is something to do with the engine, but I can't figure out what.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

I unfortunately did not try JPAN's engine yet but if I remember correctly then it's "stripped" of these things and you need to insert them.
I'm sorry I really don't know... I hope someone else answers this better.

Thanks for trying to help. I'm not sure what you mean when you say that it is "stripped" of the "things" necessary to make this work.....and what would I need to insert?

But like you said, you're not really sure...and I'm not sold on the idea that I need to insert something. Wouldn't this stuff have been mentioned in the hacked engine's guide?

Anyone else have an idea of what the problem is?
Thanks.

Can anyone help me? I've just got back into hacking and basically forgot how to script.

I'm having trouble with this script:

Spoiler:

Problems:
1.The rival only does the movements, but doesn't say anything and just walks off.
2.When I go into a different map and then come back, he is then there again, and then the script can repeat.

I'd like to solve this quickly as possible, thank you!

I have no idea why it isn't displaying the text :<

Did you set his person ID to 1000? If you haven't that would explain why his sprite is reappearing. I'm not sure why you put 'clearflag 0x1000' in org @done because that would be allowing you to repeat the script again - It may also have something to to with being able to see him again as well.

Now I tried it on another FR patched with JPAN's engine and it worked! I forgot to mention that the rom that the script didn't work in had already been tampered with (test tiles/palettes and other scripts). Are my previous tamperings with the rom maybe what caused my trainer script to freeze? I just don't want this to happen when I start real scripting for my hack.

Okay, I've re-downloaded XSE, and it didn't work, so it's obviously something with this script. I'm trying to teach myself to script and this script(I thought I was doing it fine) crashes XSE when I try to debug it. A normal talking script works fine, but this crashes the whole program. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it? This is for Fire Red

Spoiler:

seamon · #**5710** June 15th, 2011, 09:48 AM

i think what is wrong is that there should be only 1 waitmovement 0x0

Anselection · #**5711** June 15th, 2011, 09:55 AM

I already had the spaces in the script. They just didn't copy over. And I tried taking out the second waitmovement. It still crashed XSE. I thought you were supposed to do a waitmovement after every applymovement so it could wait the appropriate amount of time for the movement? Thanks in advance to whoever can get the answer. /:

Okay, I've done everything you said. But the text is still not coming up, another thing is that the sprite re-appeared for the second time and once the script activated again, then the sprite disappeared forever and the script wouldn't work again. So, you fixed something I guess, but not all of the problems.

waitmovement 0x0 makes it so that it will wait just enough time for the applymovement to finish if you wanted it to wait some more you can use pause

Anselection · #**5714** June 15th, 2011, 10:26 AM

Can you answer my question 2 posts above that one?

put a pause after the playsong command something like pause 0x5
and you cleared the 0x1000 flag after checking if it is done.. change it

edit wait a sec
btw.. by crash do you meant that your XSE closes when you compile? or it just pops up a dialog box?

Anselection · #**5716** June 15th, 2011, 11:02 AM

As in, I click the debug button then it says "XSE has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution to the problem." -Closes out- But, it doesn't do that for a basic talking script.

im just taking a guess but it might be from those apostrophes['] idk why though it should work even with the those in, i removed them from that huge chunk of text and its compiling now.. also one of your dynamic label done needs to be changed to done1

here's what'd it look like

Code:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
checkflag 0x900
if 0x1 goto @done1
setflag 0x900
applymovement 0x01 @move
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0xFF @move2
waitmovement 0x0
checkflag 0x82F
if 0x1 goto @momma
msgbox @msg1 0x6
setflag 0x82F
release
end

#org @done1
release
end

#org @momma
msgbox @msg2 0x6
release
end

#org @msg2
= Hey, \v\h01! Did you clean your room\nlike I asked you to earlier?

#org @msg1
= I have a surprise for you! You\nremember how you ve always\lwanted a Pokémon? Well, I have\ldecided it is time for you to get\lone! Professor John said he will\lbe waiting for you in his lab to\lgive you a choice of\lthree Pokémon! You know, last\lnight I saw a commercial about\lthe Elite Four. Turns out\lthey are doing it one last time.\lThey called it their Swan Song.\lYou should try to join it! I\lthink it would be great! I know\lyou have always wanted to be a\lTrainer. Now is your chance! Oh,\lby the way. I also got you these\lshoes. They might just make your\ljourney easier.

For Fire Red. This script is supposed to keep pushing you back until you select a Pokemon, then once you step on the tile again, it's supposed to take you to the Prof. But, it just freezes when I step on it. I set the unknown on A-Map to 0003 and the var number to 4050. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Hm, I've tried it, but it still does the same thing. If I were to send you the ips, would you consider trying to fix it that way?

Spoiler:

I can see 3 errors in the first 3 lines after @start :D
Okay, lemme explain a little =)
1) Use flags that are over 200 (or better 1000). Flag 1 is imo already set for item script.
2) You must direct (which is goto command) to new string of script, you cannot direct to movement =)
So in your case it should be like this:
checkflag 0x1000
if 0x0 goto @string1
.
.
.
(continuation of script which is done after flag 1000 is set =))

#org @string1
applymovement 0x(number of person in hex) @1
waitmovement 0x0
end

#org @1
movement

Etc... =)) I hope you understand what I meant =)

PaulGR · #**5723** June 16th, 2011, 05:07 PM

The command disappear 0x1 is not working why?

Whispeon · #**5724** June 16th, 2011, 06:30 PM

I have searched the whole thread and my problem has arisen on a number of times, it's just people don't seem to give them an answer.
I am using PokeScript (I just find it a lot easier to use) and I am having trouble compiling this script:

Spoiler:

Whenever I try to compile. It always says "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch"
I really need an answer for this. (Before any of you speculate, yes this is the starter script, and yes, the starter is Caterpie. I'm just THAT lame)

Anselection · #**5725** June 17th, 2011, 12:58 AM

This is also for Fire Red. I made this script for the first rival battle, and when I go to debug or compile it, XSE closes itself out. I've tried redownloading XSE and it didn't work.

Code:

#dynamic 0x800000
 
#org @start
checkflag 0x1001
if 0x1 goto @done1
lock
applymovement 0x01 @move2
waitmovement 0x0
trainerbattle 0x0 0x001 0x0 @before @after
msgbox 0x6 @BeforeWalkingAway
applymovement 0x01 @move3
waitmovement 0x0
hidesprite 0x800F
setflag 0x1001
release
end
 
#org @done1
release
end
 
#org @before
=  Well, hey there stranger.\nWhat are you doing around here in\lthe wild? Oh, you are a Pokémon\ltrainer, too? We should battle!\lYeah, come on!
 
#org @after
= Whoa! You're really strong!
 
#org @BeforeWalkingAway
= Whoa, that Pokémon is quite\nthe fighter. My name is [RIVAL]. And\lyou are? … Oh, your name is\l[PLAYER]? Look, I can’t stay long. I\lgotta go beat the gym leader in\lAsidia City if I wanna become\lthe final Elite Four Champion.\lSee ya!
 
#org @move2
#raw 0x62
