Well, you could always text edit the script, or use JPAN's patch that allows you to make custom Behaviour Bytes.

Ah, guess I messed up thanks for setting me straight

Problem with movement script.
Using advance map 1.92 and pokescript
Here is my script:
#org $begin
lock
faceplayer
message $dontgo
$dontgo 1 = please don't go
boxset 6
applympvement 0x1 $coming
pausemove
message $comeback
$comeback 1 = come with me
boxset 6
applymovement 0x1 $followone
applymovement 0xFF $followtwo
pausemove 0
message $hereyago
$hereyago 1 = Here we are
boxset 6
release
end

#org $coming
#raw 0x0A
#raw 0x0A
#raw 0x0A
#raw 0xFE

#org $followone
#raw 0x0B
#raw 0x0B
#raw 0x0B
#raw 0xFE

#org $followtwo
#raw 0x0B
#raw 0x0B
#raw 0xFE

----------------
After I inserted the script into the game I loaded the rom in VBA To test the script. When I talked to the person I assigned the script to I got an error message:

"Unsupported BIOS function c7 called from 026664a8. A BIOS file is needed in order to get correct behavior"

I clicked ok and the game reset. I went back to the same part of the game and talked to the person. The error message didn't pop up but the game restarted again...

Can anyone help?

[Hacks0rus]

I'm not a pokescript guy, but I noticed you have:
applympvement 0x1 $coming

shouldn't it be
applymovement 0x1 $coming?

Like I said I use XSE, not pokescript, so sorry I cant help out further.

[ORIDAMARIW]

Basically my key problem is that the Pokemon party menu refuses to appear, I have trawled the internet for hours with no luck searching and solidly believe the flag is 0x828 but no luck. Also problems with removing the Pokeball sprite after the event, and finally problems with naming the acquired Pokemon: information on the naming screen is set to ??? as well as the mini image. Any help would be much appreciated. Thx.

Setting the flag 0x828 will activate the Pokémon menu. Using the hidesprite command, and setting a flag which is also the Pokéball sprite's Person ID will hide it permenantly. As for the nicknaming part, I don't use Pokéscript so don't know what the namepokemon command requires.

[paranvoi]

Can someone tell me why it is that when I try to dump the menu text in Fire Red using WindHex, this is what I get (this is an extract of the resulting .txt):

//ATUS P[LINE]
//ROBLEM[LINE]
//END[LINE]

That should read "STATUS PROBLEM" but the first 2 letters of "STATUS"
are missing, plus there's an unnessecary line break after the first
letter of "PROBLEM". The entire dumped .txt file looks like that.

I'm having problems with understanding 'specials' in scripts. Is there a list to see what each special does? The list in diegoisawesome's tutorial doesnt really seem complete. For example, in the PC-in-your-bedroom script there are several not-mentioned specials.

special 0x187
special 0x17D
special 0xD6
special 0xF9
special 0x190

This post has a long list of specials.

Special 0x187 is used for Daycare Scripts, though it's not entirely known what it's used for.
I couldn't find what special 0x17D does.
Special 0xD6 makes the computer screen flash.
Special 0xF9 is used for Item Storage Mailbox Decoration.
I also couldn't find anything on special 0x190.

If you're looking for an entire list of FR/LG specials, this thread has the most complete documentation on them by far.

Thank you

Next question: Where can I find the whole script used for giving you the first Pokémon? I can find the script where Oak takes you back to the lab, but I can't find the part that makes you walk up in the lab and then the dialogue part. Anyone?

The part where you and Oak walk into the lab is a level script, one which activates when you walk into a new map. Go to the Header tab in Advance Map and scroll down until you reach the 'Map Script' section. Find script number 2 and open it - That should be how you find the level script you want. The part where you get a Pokemon is completely different and is activated when you speak to one of his Pokeballs.

[aljohnston112]

So I'm trying to get a pokeball to disappear after you get the pokemon, but it reappears after you take one step away form it.

Here's the script

#org 0x8EB0BA0

#org 0x8EB0BB0

I have tried other commands, too.
I've tried applymovement @wherever, disappear 0x1, but they all do the same thing, which is let the pokeball reappear after you step away.

Oh yea, I'm using pksv as my editor of choice.

When you want to make somebody/ something disappear for good you need to set a flag at some point in your script (which you have done with flag 0x1000). The OW is reappearing because you have not set its 'Person ID' to this flag that you have set. Basically, to prevent the Pokeball from reappearing, set its Person ID number to 1000 in Advance Map.

[aljohnston112]

It worked!
Thanks.
Does that mean that whenever you make a flag that you have to set it to an event?

Nope. Only put a flag number in the Person ID box if you wish for them to disappear forever :)

Does the same go with making someone stay in a different spot after an event?

I made this script to stop me from moving and then take a few staps back (you can only approach the script from the right). But when I pass the script, nothing happens and I can just continue walking. What is wrong?

When someone is made to disappear, and has a flag, one 0 is changed into 1 in game's ram memory. When that particular bit (can be 0 or 1 naturally) is 1, person event won't show.

Same goes conversely - if people event has a flag and is not there when you check the map the first time, you know that the flag bit is set to 1.
To make that person appear, you've to set that bit to 0 (=clearbit [flag no]).

[aljohnston112]

Already having trouble again. To be expected since I'm a noob :]
Anyway... using pksv still, I am trying to get 4 movements applied to 2 people. They both do their first move, but they both won't do their 2nd movements. Is there some kind of command I have to use to reset them so they can do a second movement?
Here's the script

Try adding a lock in the beginning?

That just freezes it up. I cannot move anymore, the music keeps playing, but nothing happens.

This is on a script event right? I always have trouble putting these in, and cant seem to find any place where there is a solution. I managed to find my own less than elegant solution and there probably is a better way to do it though

Anyway, the way I have my scripts is with a setvar0x(7000 or above) in at the end. I then put the var number in the var number box in A-map, and copy and paste the script offset into the map script under header, like in a level script. That usually gets rid of the freezing, but i'm sure there is a better way of doing this.

M onspot_left is turn left right?

If that's the case then the problem is quite obviously your pointers - all your pointers are set to 0x8EB0DD0, which is all 'turn left'. You haven't given them another movement option.

What is "setfarbyte 0x13 0xE3D3FFFE" doing in your script? Not convinced it belongs there.

Are you using a 'Script' tile event in Advance Map? If you haven't set a Var-Number it might not work.

For example - in A-Map put the Var-Number of the event to 7000, and make sure the Var-Value is 0000. This means that the script will activate when var 7000 is set to 0x0, so setting it (setvar 0x7000 0x1) in a different script later on would disable it.
