#org @get2

#org @givecynda
= But, you need a pokemon.\pThis pokemon for you.

#org @givetoto
= Okay, this is for you.

#org @takecare
= Please take care of your\npokemon.

Attention: This only work if you don't have a pokemon.

If you have a pokemon, change the flag to other flag.
Example: ... 0x828 change to ... 0x900 (... = setflag or checkflag.)

Thank you, but when I click NO, it just he just repeats the question!

Before, the script was checking for "if not no, goto @cyndaquil" and "if yes, it's yes, then go to @totodile", but I fixed it.

Thanks a ton man, I refer to this tut like crazy so thanks for helping me out!
I think you should put in your main post about this sort of thing.

Also, I want one space, if stepped on you are checked for a pokemon, if you have one you are allowed through, but if you don't, you are pushed back one space. Would it be just like the script for the Guards in FR, like I would only have to replace the flag and text, or would it be different?

[3n3rGyZ]

This may be a bit on the off-topic side...But if anyone is pretty experienced with scripting and could help me out.
I would really appreciate it if someone could add me on MSN so we could discuss some of the pointers on scripting.

Thanks in advance,

I tried this script:

Spoiler:

#org 0x8004B9
countpokemon
compare LASTRESULT 0x2
if 0x1 goto 0x88004CC
if 0x0 goto 0x88004ED

#org 0x8004CC
lock
faceplayer
= Okay go on through.
release
end

#org 0x8004ED
lock
faceplayer
= No pokemon? No passage!
#raw 0x2
#raw 0x12
release
end

But it doesn't work. I was trying to have it check pokemon, and if you have one you go onthrough and if you dont you go back one space to the left. Kinda like the cycling road entrances. But with only 2 script squares, But it just freezes you there while the guard stares at you.
I even adjusted the unknown and varnumber to like the picture, but it doesnt work still.

[Napalm]

Thanks for the guide! A huge help for me.

[Vigilante]

I don't really get the yes/no thing, I've tried it and it didn't work :/. Help me get a working one?

Its basically, if they click yes you point them to #org @yes and if they pick no you point them to #org @no, unless you just want it to end when you click yes or no. Its basically all in the MSGBOX Number, you just have to add extra basic stuff depending on what you are planning to do with that particular script.

What do you use to Compile the script? Or how do you?

Using an XSE Script Editor

[BlitŻ]

this tut is really useful , I like teh movement lists

[Fendaril]

Hello Diego. First before anything your tutorial acts as an excellent reference for me. It's almost as if a professional wrote it.

Now here is my problem. I have a script that suppose to move my player but after its completed my player freezes on the spot without the msgbox function activating.
Below is my code.

Also do you know how to get XSE NOT to autogenerate extra code? It sometimes likes to generate extra unneeded movement commands.

'---------------
#org 0x80050A
checkflag 0x8D4
if 0x1 goto 0x880054C
setflag 0x8D4
lock
applymovement MOVE_PLAYER 0x880052C
waitmovement 0x0
release
msgbox 0x8800534 MSG_NORMAL '"you notice a pokeball"
closeonkeypress
end

'---------------
#org 0x80054C
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x800534
= you notice a pokeball


'-----------
' Movements
'-----------
#org 0x80052C
#raw 0x56 'Exclamation Mark (!)
#raw 0x0 'Face Down
#raw 0x1 'Face Up
#raw 0x2 'Face Left
#raw 0x3 'Face Right
#raw 0x2 'Face Left
#raw 0x3 'Face Right

It only does that when you forget 0xFE at the end of the movements, so it reads the bytes after as movements.

[Fendaril]

So the extra movement generation was because the compiler was trying to guess the movements after to prevent bugs?

Nope, the byte, to end the movements there wasn't present, so XSE and the ROM believed the bytes after were movements, until it got too an FF or FE. So just remember to put 0xFE at the end of your movements.

okay, now i'm trying to compile a shaymin wildbattle script to my fir red hack

#dynamic 0x3AE35F

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x6
cry 0x363 0x0
wildbattle 0x363 0x7 0x8B
fadescreen 0x1
fadescreen 0x0
hidesprite 0x800F
setflag 0x200
release
end

#org @1
= Shay!

that was the script and every time i try to compile it
it says
"Error 13 type mismatch in file ..... on line 8 missing #define or parameter
Line: wildbattle 0x363 0x7 0x8B

and before you say "Shaymin isn't in fire red!" I replaced roselia
with shaymin.

what is wrong with my script?

[Vince_27]

the wildbatlle command is:
0x(number of the pokemon yo want in HEX) 0x(level of the pokemon) 0x(item)

[kaka1918]

Is commande of
0x(nember of pokemon in pokedex) 0x(level of pokemon in Format Hexa) 0x(item)
exemple
0x9 0x54 0x1
tortank level 84 item master ball

[Pikachu fan]

what would level 7 be in hex?

[Vince_27]

7in hex is 7, i think.

For know the number you can convert it with the calculator on windows.

[ME0W]

Thanks! This tutorial really helped me!

Seven, or, 7 can be written a few ways...

Decimal: 7
Hexadecimal (HEX): 0x7
Octadecimal (OCT, not used in ROM hacking...) 7
Binary (BIN, also not used OFTEN in ROM hacking...): 0111

Hope I could be of help, lol

[Pikachu fan]

Thanks, now I just need roselias number is in hex
what is it?

EDIT: nevermind i found it

[Gliscor-Guy]

If i use an Level script, i'll be frozen.

When I decompile it, and make it an level script, i get this:

'---------------
#org 0x14E924
#raw 0x0

But when ik compile this, i don't get an offset, i get this:

eXtreme Script Editor v1.1.1

(It's in dutch)

I copied this offset: > lNewOffset = 0x14E924
But then i get frozen.

I copied the "Give Pokemon" Script, and when i talk to the person that has that script it says:

Hows Charmander?

When u don't get the charmander
