What do you mean by that?

I think that he means that you don't know what some of the scripts that you have on your tutorial you don't even understand
It certainly looks that way

[madarawolf]

I am having problems scripting with xse. I made the script using this tutorial for a sign and when I go to compile it, it says that there is a missing parameter on line 5 msgbox@sign. So I wondered what that was about.

[Full Metal]

how might one check the pokedex progress?

[Mourgrim]

I must thank you for compiling this guide. I have just started my 'pursuit' in learning how to hack a pokemon game (A friend and I are starting with FireRed) and this tutorial will be a great help.

Thanks to thethethethe, you, and of course HackMew.

Just inspect the Oak script in FR/LG or the Birch script in R/S/E.

Replace that line with:

msgbox @sign 0x3

And if you have a boxset under that, delete it.

First of all: Great that you compiled this :D

But I have a question.... I set a flag in my script, 0x01. It's for a script that i'm testing. When you talk to someone you get something and if you talk to them again you won't get it. That's what the Flag is for. Now when I leave the room where the event happens and come back in, I get the item again... So that must mean that the flag is unchecked again. Why does this happen?

Using FireRed.

EDIT: Nvm... seems that using flag 0x01 doesn't work but other flags like 0x200 do work...

[Mourgrim]

Hello, I've been having some troubles with a script I wanted to start out with. What I want the script to do is:

Yes or no ask if I would like a pokemon
give the pokemon
set flags so it doesn't repeat.

I've tried various different circumstances for this, but everytime something goes wrong. One time, it was in a whole bunch of symbols. Another, it was all placed wrong (even though I used XSE's Text Adjuster) and wouldn't even give the pokemon.

If anyone could offer some help or advice, it'd be greatly appreciated for my first script. Thank you.

This is the one that seemed to come closest to working, but still failed.

#dynamic 0x80000

#org @start
checkflag 0x1000
if 0x1 call @given
msgbox @yesno 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto @yes
msgbox @no 0x2
setflag 0x1000
end

#org @given
msgbox @given2
end

#org @yes
countpokemon
compare LASTRESULT 0x6
if 0x1 call @full
givepokemon 0x4 0x4 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
msgbox @thanks 0x2
end

#org @full
msgbox @full2 0x2
end

#org @yesno
= Yes or no?

#org @given2
= I gave you it already.

#org @full2
= Your party's full.

#org @no
= Okay.

#org @thanks
= Thanks.

Okay, nothing much wrong with this script.
You missed a msgbox sort once:

#org @given
msgbox @given2
end

But that's about all the mistakes I could find. I personally don't use call, but I only use goto.

This is how I'd script it:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x80000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x200
if 0x1 goto @given
msgbox @yesno 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto @yes
msgbox @no 0x6
release
end

#org @given
msgbox @given2 0x6
release
end

#org @given2
= I gave you it already.

#org @yesno
= Yes or no?

#org @yes
countpokemon
compare LASTRESULT 0x6
if 0x1 goto @full
givepokemon 0x4 0x4 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x200
msgbox @thanks 0x6
release
end

#org @full
msgbox @full2 0x6
release
end

#org @full2
= Your party's full.

#org @thanks
= Thanks.

#org @no
= Okay.

Anyway hope this helped ;)

[Mourgrim]

Thank you both kindly. And yeah, I'm not completely surprised I missed the msgbox pointer. I typed it up fairly quickly. I'm glad to see everyone here is so helpful, though.

So, is it better to use the 0x2 for messages or the 0x6?

Nothing is better or worse. It's just what you like. I use 0x6 because I'm used to using it and I like seeing the lock and release command xD.
Also while using pokescript It didn't have the 0x2 so I was used to using the 0x6. But 0x2 is fine as well.

I am having trouble making a trainerbattle.
Every time I click "Open Script" on A-Map, the srcipt that I made is gone.
This is the script, but I didn't see anything wrong with it.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
trainerbattle 0x0 0x2E7 0x0 @before @after
msgbox @beaten 0x6
release
end
#org @before
= Hey! \nYour not aloud here!
#org @after
= What! \I've been beat by \ia BLUE PHEONIX brat?!
#org @beaten
= Great... \nThanks to you, \ithe boss took away my \iHOUNDOUR...

PLEASE HELP!!!
And isn't the dynamic value the same as the script offset?

[Lyzo]

I was wondering... You know how in Ruby/Saphire when you beat the elite 4, latios and latias are released into the game. I was wondering if someone could explain how to do that. I was looking at the script at the end of the elite 4 and there were lots of flags that have been set and there was also a special that I didn't see in this guide. special 0xA9. If someone could help me with this that would be great!

I'm sorry, but I can't help you. Maybe you should go to the Simple Questions thread.

Sometimes, it's not. You know the box that pops up saying that the script got compiled? Well, use the offset next to @start for the script offset.

You might want to add how to trade onto this guide. I've looked everywhere and found it on the XSE tutorial on the program, lol... x3

[Sonikku17]

Hey, thanks for the guide! I'm pretty much a rookie hacker, and this has been a huge help!

Here's a quick question:
I'm trying to make a givepokemon script. When I run it in-game, everything works perfectly...except for the nicknaming part. For some reason, when it gets to the part where I should be nicknaming the pokemon that was given, it makes me nickname the first pokemon in my party. Any ideas about why this may be happening?

[Mourgrim]

Hello. I've been having troubles with yet another script that's confusing me quite a bit.

The script I'm trying to make has a man step forward twice, inform the player that they can't leave without a pokemon, have the player step to the right twice to where the pokeball is, have them take it, and leave without the man stopping them. Of course, there's a 'bit' more to it when you read the actual scripts, but that's the gist of it all. If anyone can help, again, I'd greatly appriecate it.

The Movement Script:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
checkflag 0x1000
if 0x1 goto @done
if 0x0 goto @movement
release
end

#org @movement
msgbox @hey 0x2
applymovement 0x00 @move
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0xFF @move2
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @take 0x2
applymovement 0x00 @move3
waitmovement 0x0
setflag 0x1001
release
end

#org @done
release
end

#org @move
#raw 0x1E
#raw 0x1E

#org @move2
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13

#org @move3
#raw 0x13

#org @hey
= Hey, you can't leave\nwithout having something\lto protect you!

#org @take
= Take my EEVEE. Raise it\nwell, and let it evolve\linto whatever you wish it\lto become!

The Man's Script:

#dynamic 0x800010

#org @start
checkflag 0x1002
if 0x1 goto @good
if 0x0 goto @omg
release
end

#org @good
msgbox @leave 0x2
applymovement 0x00 @move
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @goodluck 0x2
release
end

#org @omg
msgbox @takeit 0x2
release
end

#org @move
#raw 0x14
#raw 0x0C

#org @leave
= Okay, you may leave.

#org @goodluck
= Goodluck out there!

#org @takeit
= Would you just take it?

The Pokeball's Script:

#dynamic 0x800020

#org @start
checkflag 0x1001
if 0x1 goto @take
if 0x0 goto @done
release
end

#org @take
givepokemon 0x133 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @received 0x4
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
fadescreen 0x1
fadescreen 0x0
hidesprite 0x800F
setflag 0x1000
setflag 0x1002
release
end

#org @done
release
end

#org @received
= You received EEVEE!

If you see any problems with other parts of what's going on, I'd appreciate it if that was mentioned as well.

[¦Next Pro]

I think you should make your own level scripting sutorial and add it here. Because
Cooleys was hard to understand for me. (Still learned it )

[nemesish]

Kinda curious.
When i did a give pokemon script. it just takes me to the last line "so, how´s my old TORCHIC?"

In first place the NPC NEVER gave a pokemon?
No talking or nothing, it just takes me to the last line

Even i tried copying the one in the tut, but the same results.

btw, in-game i´m oing to getm Oaks parcel, so I don´t have a Pokedex. In case you´re wondering if i used that flag

Can you post the script here? And have you already set the Pokemon menu flag? If so, use another flag besides 0x828.

[Mourgrim]

I think I see...and that's what I thought was probably going to be the problem. But, with that, I'm slightly confused. The man's number is 00, because he's the only person on the map. Does that mean I should put 01 not 00?

Exactly. You have to use the people number, not the event number.
