Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

I notice that pokemart3 is used for decoration, but I can't find the list of decoration and so can't work on them.
Still I can't figure out what pokemart2 does...

Searching this very thread is no easy task, is it...

The pokemart2 command, however, always presents pictures, so if really necessary to have both normal items and TMs in the same display, use it instead.

So. I'm basically creating a script that involves checking trainer flags.
Without giving too much away, after battling the trainers, the trainer check initially works fine. After the first time that you choose not to reset the flags, however, my npc still behaves as if the flags are set, UNTIL I talk to one of the trainers in question again, whereupon he repeats this behavior. Can anyone tell me what's up?

When I post this, it tells me no #org/#seek directives were found, cannot compile.

Can someone tell whats wrong?

[colcolstyles]

Change "@dynamic 0x800000" to "#dynamic 0x800000" and "@org Bulbastarter" to "#org @Bulbastarter". '#' is the symbol for preprocessing directives (like dynamic, org, seek, etc.) and '@' is the symbol for dynamic addresses.

Ok, two questions:

1). I'm a little unsure of how to use JPAN's hacked engine Special 0x7e – Get Tile Number. Yes, I know it says tile number, but: Does this special get the tile number or the block number? Block number really seems to make more sense to me...

2). Is there a way to mute the clicking noise made when pressing "A" to select something (temporarily and only in specific instances)?

Thanks in advance.

1) Yeah, it gets the block number.

2) Not without an ASM hack.

2). I don't know any ASM...but out of curiosity, how difficult of a hack would this be to implement (could it be done fairly quickly by someone who does know ASM)?

I have some questions about trainerbattle.
For trainerbattle 0x1, it can be used for both rival and GYM leader? What about the music during the battle? How can I change it?
For trainerbattle 0x3, it seems that it's for elite four, but some said that for 0x3, the script will continue even if you've lost in the battle. So what is the exact function for 0x3?
And for other kinds of trainerbattle, what are their functions?

Type 0 is an ordinary battle. Script execution stops after the battle, regardless of its outcome.

1 and 2 are identical, and run scripts after the battle ends (but only if the player won). They except one extra argument: the offset of the script to run. (The script with "trainerbattle" stops running, and the offset you specify starts running.)

3 is a continue-battle. The script that calls "trainerbattle" keeps running after the battle (but only if the player won).

4 is a double battle. It accepts one extra argument: the offset of some text to display if the player does not have two or more usable Pokemon (and hence can't start the battle).

5 is a rematch battle. It's almost identical to 0, but it will actually check the trainer number and do a lookup, to see if you're supposed to battle one of their rematch battles instead. To use this to its fullest potential, you would need to learn more about the rematch functionality.

6 is a special kind of double battle that accepts two extra arguments. I have no idea what the second extra argument is.

7 is a double rematch battle.

8 is a clone of 6.

9 is a tutorial battle. So far as I know, it functions identically to 0 except that the player will not whiteout if they lose the battle. Passing in 0x0003 instead of 0x0000 (as the unknown halfword argument) enables Oak's mid-battle narration.

All other values are treated as type-0 battles.

Note that if the trainer you specify has already been defeated, "trainerbattle" does nothing and the script that calls it will keep running unless you used a rematch battle type. And I think you need an ASM hack to change the music.

You're not using "compare" properly.

special2 LASTRESULT 0x84
 compare LASTRESULT 0x1
 special 0xBC

You're doing a comparison, but you're not checking the result (with an "if" command). You make the same mistake with every comparison in the script except for the first one, which is why it's broken.

hi im trying to make all team rocket grunts use the RSE trainer battle music in pokemon leaf green. What script command can do this?

[SupahNinja]

Hello.
I was wondering how to change the character's sprite at will.
I know it's possible, because that's what happens every time the player rides their bike or goes fishing, but I don't know the proper commands to use in XSE.
This is for FRLG, by the way.

Help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm using this for a puzzle in my hack.
Thanks.

Those aren't implemented with script commands. There are no script commands that can change the player's sprite...

Hmm...

How is it done in the game?
ASM? Because I was planning on learning that soon, and I might as well start here.

It's ASM, but that knowledge alone wouldn't be enough to reverse-engineer it. I'd imagine that the code for that particular sprite-change is buried deep in the game engine. It'd be hard to find, let alone reverse-engineer -- unless someone already has, that is.

JPAN's FireRed Hacked Engine adds functionality that allows you to change the player's overworld sprites from a script. His patch is meant to be applied only to a clean FR ROM (it deletes a lot of stuff), but he also has a hack tool that can apply the changes to a hack-in-progress (it's trickier, though).

I've looked up some videos of it in action, and some of them do state that it's an ASM hack. But no one gives details.

Which means that if none of them reply to their YouTube messages, I'll check out JPAN's Hacked Engine.

Thank you, David.

Hi, member's of Pokemon community , I was wondering if there is a script for the ROM Pokemon firered To make Whichever one you don't choose [Boy ,Girl ] become your rival like pokemon Emerald . Including pokemon overworld sprite changing gender.

There isn't one single script, but there are a combination of techniques you could use.

In the maps on which the rival appears, you could use the dynamic OW functionality in JPAN's Hacked Engine. Have a level script check the player's gender and change the rival OW accordingly.

In battle scripts, things get more difficult... The simplest way would be to simply create one trainer for every possible rival -- one trainer per gender per starter. Then, when you trigger the battle from a script, check the player's gender in addition to the player's starter and initiate the appropriate trainer battle.

The only trouble I can see happening is in the intro sequence, where you actually name the rival. You'd need ASM modifications to conditionally alter their big sprite and to set a different OW to appear on the naming screen.

Is there a script that can make the NPC walk backwards?

[Teh Blazer]

Hmm... I don't think so. Sorry.

My Question:
If I move a NPC through a script over to another map, they won't disappear unless they leave my sight. Now, this is awesome and all, but how do I make it disappear in front of my eyes? Will the Person Id stay the same and all I have to do is hidesprite, or is there some other way? Or is the only way to make them disappear is to make them leave my sight?

You can make the NPC disappear with hidesprite. Person ID is flag-based, not map-based.

So, if you didn't know, just use hidesprite, then setflag that person's Person ID.

[Ash493]

The best way to make NPC disappear is by using applymovement.
applymovement 'hide'
applymovement 'movements that make NPC to some place player cannot reach'
setflag
And once you leave the map, NPC won't be there until you clear its flag =D

[Sephiroth2009]

Yes using clearflag is useful when there's a sprite you want hidden for the moment until another time when you want it resurfaced on a map you've been through a dozen times.
