Look. You've posted your question 3 times in two different threads! If Christos doesn't have the time to answer your question to the full extent then he doesn't! Badgering him and spamming up the forums doesn't help at all. Your question has been asked before as well so search before asking.
Oh. As you can see, we're not Insant Messaging each other. Proper grammar makes everything alot easier to understand and gives us a sense that, even if you're not trying to be, you're respectful to this forum and it's members.

Christos, this tutorial is great. It's really helping with everything but my little flag problem. Thank you for posting it.

[Misty's Kyogre]

Wow, nice tutorial Christos.

You're the first one who's actually been able to explain those commands to me.

Keep it up =D

[w_rink_ly]

But I heard somewhere on this forum that the trainerbattle command for scripted didn't work properly...

[Misty's Kyogre]

Okay, I'm still a newb at this, but is there a 'command' (I'm thinking computer programming XD) that makes a store clerk? What I mean is can I make a person who sells stuff without moving one of the ones already in the game.

You're right. In fact, it's in the archived Simple Questions thread. But I'm not gonna lead you on a wild goose chase and tell you to search. You put #raw 0x5C above the trainerbattle command. Like this:

#org 0x800000
#raw 0x5C
trainerbattle 0x00 0x1A 0x800100 0x800200 0x800300
end

#org 0x800100
= Let's battle
#org 0x800200
= I lost!
#org 0x800300
= We already battled!

zel so graciously told me that. It has been tested (in firered) and works. Without the #raw command, the script converts to jibberish when complied. Hope this helps!

P.S. Christos, if people start asking why their trainerbattle script doesn't work, you can use my example.

Setting and checking flags would work. It'll stop your event from repeating. I'm actually having problems with flags right now so I really can't go into detail.

I don't know what 'boxset 0x2' is.. try 'boxset 0x6'
And before your message, 'lock' the person and after your boxset 'release' it.
So:

#org 0x762000
lock
faceplayer 'Yeah, well.. when it's a person event.. Maybe you want it..
message 0x762100
boxset 0x2
release
end
'Maybe this space needs to be there..
#org 0x762100
= DIIUUD!

Don't blame me when this doesn't work.. I just start scripting XD

[frank$or]

This script is fine.

#org 0x762000
message 0x762100
boxset 0x2
end
#org 0x762100

= DIIUUD!

You could ( not have to ) place faceplayer between #org and message, but it isn't always neccesary.

My question, I tried the trainerbattlescript ( with the #Raw 0x5C )
But i still am getting 'overflow error 6' or something ( diamondcutter )
Any idea?

[Blaziken626]

This is much needed tutorial! The only problem is I can't get the script to work. Here's what I did: I copied that Hi! example basic talking script you made and pasted it in Notepad. Then I saved it in a RBC format. I opened it with ScriptEd and compiled to the ROM. I set the offset for the Littleroot Town fat guy's script. Then I saved it and opened the ROM. But when I talk to him, all that happens is the bleep sound it makes when you talk to someone. There's no text box or anything.

[Christos]

Your ROM and RBC file must be in ScriptED/Diamond Cutter's folder with no spaces in the name.

[Blaziken626]

Do you mean it has to be in the EliteMap folder? I copied ScriptEd and DiamondCutter and put them in the same folder as my ROM and script were.

EDIT: Yeah, I tried that and it worked, but the text was just a whole bunch of weird symbols that looked like a's.

Thnx a lot! I've been wondering how to solve this prob for a while

[zak]

im aslo getting the over flow promblem guys, all the folders and stuf are in the same directory and its all good , this is my script
#org 0x782800
#raw 0x5C
trainerbattle 0x00 0x1A 0x782900 0x783000 0x7831000
end

#org 0x782900
= Bring it on!

#org 0x783000
= I lost...

#org 0x7831000
= We already battled!

but for some reason it aint workin getin message sayin overflow any1?

[D-Trogh]

Are you both using DiamondCutter ?
Maybe you need to try ScriptED.. or that new PokéScript tool

[Blaziken626]

YES!! I finally got the Hello World script to work! But now here's my new problem. I tried to do a give Pokemon script, and it didn't work. I thought something might be wrong with the script, so I'll show it.

#org 0x700000
message 0x700100
boxset 0x02
givepokemon 0x78 0x5 0x3
end
#org 0x700100
= Hello World!

Is there anything wrong with it? I sure hope so, because I can't think of a different possibility for it not working.

EDIT: I figured out the problem, and it was a careless mistake! I forgot to put the space between end and the words in the script! Now he does say Hello world, but he doesn't give me the Pokemon. What's wrong with it?

EDIT...Again: I figured out that I did get the Pokemon. It's just that it didn't say anything like, "(Player) received a Staryu!". By the way, how do you make that 'receive Pokemon' music happen when I get the Pokemon, and how can you make a script happen while you are receiving the Pokemon? And one last thing...the number of the Pokemon said 78, but Staryu's number isn't 78.

That's Staryu's hex number. Hex numbers are different. They go like this:

01
02
03
04
05
06
07
08
09
0A
0B
0C
0D
0E
0F
10

So the hex numbers of Pokémon would be a lot less than its real number.

[Blaziken626]

Thanks, Tentachu.

Now I'm testing out Applymovement and I have this script:

#org 0x900000
applymovement 0xFF 0x900100
pause 0x10
end

#org 0x800100
#raw 0x5
#raw 0x7
#raw 0x4
#raw 0xFE
end

It's not working. Is something wrong with it?

It's not right. You should put "900100" not "800100".

Because maybe there's not a bank map like that in your ROM.
The numbers must be in hexadecimal.

[zak]

there is a map bank like that in my rom , its a ruby rom , i inserted the bank myself, and um......... how do i find out the numbers in hexdecimal , sorry to ask so many questions i only know like 2 scripts

*Smacks forehead* Duh! I can't believe I didn't notice that! Anyway, thanks!

EDIT: Actually, there's another problem with the script I think. Because whenever I step in that spot when walking up, I walk up. When I step when walking down, I move to the right. And when I step when walking to the left, I walk down. But I'm supposed to walk up, then right, then down.

EDIT AGAIN: Nevermind, I realized you have to put the same script in each place you want the sprite to move. Buuuut, I doesn't work twice in a row. It works the first time, but not the time after that. But when I step in that spot again after that, it works.

EDIT AGAAIN: Just a quick question. Could someone please tell me where I can find the hex numbers for all the Pokemon? It would really help, but it's not really necessary.
