[Scripting] tajaros Xtreme Scripting Tutorial

[bluedeedrocks]

How would I go about making a script that hides a sprite indefinitely? Also, how can I do the opposite? Have a sprite normally be invisible, but then make it visible with the script?

If you want the sprite to make it permanently invisible you can use a hidesprite with a flag in it. Then if you want it to appear again make another script that uses the clearflag and the showsprite command. :D Simple as that.

Your trainerbattle 0x5 didn't work for me, it just said the defeat text and wouldn't do the battle. The VS seeker wouldn't even work. Its also not a trainer already battled in the game so idk why it doesnt work

You can also have the sprite set to hidden movement in A-Map, and then use showsprite in a map/level script whenever it is supposed to be shown.

Wow it's great!I have copied all them into my notebook. :DWell,I have some questions.At the sprite of trainerbattle,0x3 is used for long event battles,and 0x9 has a text when the hero lose.So I want to have a long event with battles,and the enemy will say something when the hero lose.Is it impossible?
And,need I write the setvar into all level Sprit,although I just want a NPC to move? ('ᴥ')

Thanks.

No it's not impossible use 0x9 it's the same. And about the Level script you still have to put a level script even if the script is just a simple script.

thanks a lot ,xD it's so helpful to me

Two questions: Can I permanently hide more than one person if I assign them the same flag ID, set the flag, and the hidesprite both? Also, is there a way to change the movement type of a sprite. Like after a trainer battle, I want the trainer to follow me, copy player movement type I believe? Thanks for the previous answer and this one!

Yes, you can have two person's have the same flag so they will both disappear, and you can also copy the movements it's alright.

This is a great tutorial! I'm glad you used the different warp commands. I didn't even know they existed! Thanks!

hi I am big fan of your's scripting.

When I attempt to load XSE it closes instantly, how would I be able to stop this?

First go to the settings.ini and look for AutoUpdateCheck = 1, change 1 with 0 and it should work properly.

[TweenyTodd]

K tajaros I know you helped me before but I'm gonna ask again. After I type in whatever script I want to use, how do I add the script to the game? Do I hit compile?
(Please note that I am using PKSV because when I use XSE it says 'runtime error supscript 9 is out of range' If you know how to fix that then thnx.)

Didn't you read my previous post? :3

Ok to insert it in your game first you have to load your ROM, and then compile your script after that copy the offset and paste it on A-map with your Rom loaded... :)

There is no settings.ini. At first I thought it was because I got XSE with the Pokemon Game Editor, but when I downloaded it using your link it still didn't appear. Where is it at?

K when I copied your first script and gave it to a person event, I look at the script from A-map this appears

Oh my bad for not having an ini file for the XSE download. I'll reupload it.

Are you sure you compiled and copied the offset properly? And did you use XSE to compile it? Be sure the offset you got is the same as the one in A-map.

[TweenyTodd]

Thanks for the updated file. XSE is working fine now. Except that the '/n' appears in the text instead of a new line.
For trainer battles, can I use something besides A-Trainer? I am using Jambo's patch so it won't work.
If you don't have an answer, I'll look into it myself.

Because it should be\n not /n. Sorry to bring it up to you but the Jambo's Patch you're mentioning is the 649 patch right? IT IS NOT FOR HACKS.

Wait for the release of the 649 patch for hacks. So A-trainer is the best one out there...

Though if you want another trainer editor you can use PET.

Fixed it. Feel like a newb.

I'm aware of this. I'm not using it for a hack, I'm playing around with it for a later hack when Jambo gives the OK.

I've figured out a way to use A-Trainer and hex editing to edit the trainers, so I guess you're right.

Thnx for all the help.

Thanks Aryan!

Guys if you want the thread to be updated so I can explain more commands just let me know. And I'll find sometime to edit the OP for those commands.

[yozzyurubuza]

In trainerbattle 0x5, the rematch automatically makes the enemies pokemon have higher levels when you battled them again, how can you edit the pokemons that they have? Because the trainer ID in the rematch is the same.

Really? Well I haven't looked to that yet but I guess it has something to do with the trainer ID. Try looking at it in A-trainer or try looking into FR's original scripts which has trainerbattle 0x5. Or maybe the game raises a specific number of levels to the pokemon.

[yozzyurubuza]

Here is the original script taken from a trainer that has a trainerbattle 0x5

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x1ED4E9
trainerbattle 0x2 0x72 0x0 0x8295A7E 0x8295ABB 0x81ED52A
special2 LASTRESULT 0x3C
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto 0x81ED580
setvar 0x8004 0x72
special2 LASTRESULT 0x1F1
compare LASTRESULT 0x0
if 0x1 goto 0x81ED554
msgbox 0x8295AC3 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"["]Hello" is the beginning of ["]g..."
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x1ED52A
special 0x207
waitmovement 0x0
checkflag 0x12F
if 0x1 goto 0x81ED53B
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x1ED580
trainerbattle 0x5 0x72 0x0 0x8295BC8 0x8295BFA
msgbox 0x8295C1F MSG_NORMAL '"["]Hello" is the beginning of ["]g..."
end

'---------------
#org 0x1ED554
checkflag 0x12F
if 0x1 goto 0x81ED567
msgbox 0x8295AC3 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"["]Hello" is the beginning of ["]g..."
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x1ED53B
msgbox 0x8295B60 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"We should commemorate how we seem\..."
setvar 0x8004 0x72
special 0x1E9
registernav 0x72
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x1ED567
msgbox 0x8295B01 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"Hello, we meet again.\pWe seem to ..."
setvar 0x8004 0x72
special 0x1E9
registernav 0x72
release
end

As you can see, the first was trainerbattle 0x2 0x72 ->Trainer ID 72
As you go on deeper, you'll see trainerbattle 0x5 0x72, still the same trainer ID
