I can open mine, but it opens in a new tab. Even when I go 'compile' it still saves as a new file. Any thoughts on how I can implement my script?

I used to have this exact same problem lol. If you are using XSE, what you do is:
1.Write your script
2.Click on the "show log" button, so it is ON.
3.Hit "Compile" and when you do, a small box should pop up with your script in it.
4. At the bottom of this little box, there are one or many offsets there. If you used, say @start to start your script, you highlight that one and hit the copy button.
5.Once the @start (or whatever the first #org @something was) offset is copied, minimize XSE and paste the new offset into the advance map box where it first said "open script" but don't forget to only paste the Numbers, and to keep the Dollar sign.
6.Hit open script, and you should open a new script similar to what you wrote!

Any questions, just ask me.

EDIT: I HAVE A SUPER NOOBY PROBLEM:

So when I write a script with a flag, in which one of the first commands is to check for the flag, do the event, then set that flag so it can't happen again. This works when I am in the same building...

HOWEVER when I exit the room or map the script is located in and talk to whatever person I had the script with, It starts up again, like I never set the flag. This happens with every script I do that involves flags.

I.E.

Code:

 
#dynamic 0x80000
 
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x901
if 0x0 goto @set
release
end
 
#org @set
msgbox @you 0x6
setflag 0x901
release
end
 
#org @you
= You just set flag 901!

I am guessing that this should work. It does. I go up to this guy for the first time, I talk to him, he says "You just set flag 901!" and I talk to him again and he doesn't say nada. Perfect, right?

This is the part where I leave the building. Just because I feel stupid, I decide to go back in there again. I talk to the guy and what does he say?

"You just set flag 901!"

I'm using Ruby Version with most recent versions of Amap and XSE, so does my rom clear all flags when I leave a map and re-enter? Or am I missing something huge?

put a flag that the game(ruby)doesn't use and on A-MAP put the flag on person ID I had the same problem but now it works perfectly...

I know that Ruby doesn't use 901, and I set 901 as the person ID, but it still didn't work. Is it because I'm on a custom map?

Alter the code below to your liking ... (if you use a different number for the var, change the corresponding number in the code - DON'T change 2C - if you're not hacking Fire Red, though, I'm not sure if it will work). You might be able to put this all into one code.

Code:

#org 0x1A75D1
#raw 0x12 'Step Left (Normal)
#raw 0xFE 'End of Movements

Change the movements to match what you want. In mine the mom comes upstairs, so this works best.

Then apply a signpost to the bed with this sort of code:

Code:

'---------------
#org 0x800057
msgbox 0x818E4CA MSG_KEEPOPEN

hidesprite 0x1
releaseall
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x18E4CA
= [player] went to sleep\nand dreamed of getting your 1st\pPOKéMON!

Any questions please ask. The org#s are what I used for mine. Somebody who's better at scripting might be able to help you more as well with an easier way or something ...

Umm Can you convert the code into XSE?

I have a huge problem!
I took a map of a pokemon lab and I changed it and put 2 pokemon labs in 1 map.
at the beginning prof elm let's you choose a starter and then when you reach the 2nd reigon you'll get another starter,but when I talk with prof oak to get my 2nd starter he only says:it contains a pokemon caught by prof elm this is my script:

So I have this script, and I want it to load after I descend the stairs. However, when I put it on top of the warp tile and warp into the room, the script doesn't load and I have to step off and the back on the tile for it to work. I'm using XSE on a Leaf Green ROM.

No I don't think so, when I step back on the tile the flag works fine (the script happens once).

I'll try changing it though.

Hmm. I'm not sure what to say then. It warps on the tile, correct?

Yeah when you come down stairs it warps onto the tile, but the script won't load until you step off of it and then back on it.

Also, I've been experimenting with level scripts using the "validates value" and the "on entering map" scripts, but none of them seem to work (on one of them, when you enter the map it has random unintelligible speech that you can't get out of).

If someone has a link to a level scripting tutorial, it would be much appreciated.

The only thing I can think of is to put the tile one step away from the warp point, so you have to step onto it for it to work. But that's probably not what you want

It says that I can find it with a free space finder and that one of those can be found in Advanced Map, but I'm still clueless as to where exactly the offset finder is and how I can use it in my script.

If it will help anyone help me, this is exactly what I'm trying to do. I have a ROM in which pokemon #152-386 can be obtained before the Elite 4. I need to activate the national dex very early in-game, so I've made a script that gives it to you right after you deliver Oak's Parcel... However, it's filled with holes and I don't know which codes correspond to the right offsets, message and flag.

I would really appriciate help here so I could finally get what I'm doing off the ground.

Here's the script I've made that needs to be fixed up.

Take the $ sign out of your dynamic offest. In advance-map, hit the free space finder tool at the top (the magnifying glass), then for bytes needed put a number between 100 and 300, and then click ok. You can use any one of those as your offset. Just plug it into your script where you have it already

Yeah it wouldn't make sense for you to take the extra step for your mom to notice that you are there.

I have seen in some hacks this script that moves the camera without moving the Main Character, could somebod tell me how to do this?

PlatniumPiano · #**1221** May 30th, 2009, 06:03 PM

once again I have super-retard script tiles that decide to freeze the game when I step on them. It is supposed to display a message if flag 0x800 is not set, then move me back. If the flag is set, nothing is supposed to happen. But, all that happens is freeze.

You don't need the copy button if you're using the numbers I gave you. But if you want to do the free space thing first, replace the orgs (like #org 800000) with #org @(whatever name you want to give) - then it will create a number for you that isn't being used and you can copy it. If you use the numbers I did to compile it, then 800000 would be the script number to place in the script box in Advance Map and 800057 would be the number to place in the signpost box. You can use those numbers (if they haven't been used in your rom yet), you can search for free space, or you can replace an already existing script in your rom that you don't need if you want - but the main code should work.

Now the first code is there to let me pass by when (a) I have no Pokemon, and (b) after mom has come and given me the stuff so that she won't come a second time, and it works. So it only calls the script if it hasn't before and if I have a Pokemon.

In the main script I want mom to show up, give me the running shoes, the town map, and the fame checker. I get the latter two, but not the running shoes. As you can see, I set the flag for the running shoes to be activated, I even changed the script var to the same one as the scientist who gives you the shoes, just in case. It simply won't activate the shoes, and I've tried a few different methods.

Any suggestions on what I should do differently?

PlatniumPiano · #**1224** May 31st, 2009, 04:01 AM

Another buggy script...

So this script I have is made up of two parts, a green map tile which is supposed to call the person event, and the person event itself. (Thankfully, this time when I stepped onto the tile, it didn't freeze! It just did nothing... well its an improvement!) I have the Script tile's Var number set to 0905 as well as the person event for the person ID number.
What is supposed to happen is:

1. The game sets the "lockall" command into play.
2. A message box is displayed, and a "!" pops over my head and I face left.
3. The Professor's Sprite is unveiled from a couple blocks away (it was set to hidden on A-map before) and he starts to walk over to me.
4. We talk, I get item, and he leaves.
5. When the Professor's 2nd movement is completed, the sprite is hidden, and I go along my merry way.

The problem is that first off, when I step on the script tile, nothing happens. Also, if I press a (z if you will) where the sprite is supposed to be hidden, the event plays without the sprite showing up.

So I guess what I'm asking is:
How do I get the script tile to call the event, show the sprite, play the dialouge, and then hide the sprite?

Any help is much appreciated

The Person Event:

The Script Tile (Shortened from Script Below+Person Event Above to just Script Below:
