How do you change the position of a sprite forever after an event?

A combination of "movesprite" and level scripts.

Does anybody know how to display the money box in the top left hand corner of the screen?

Thanks

#raw 0x93 0x00 0x00 0x00
to show money box.
#raw 0x94 0x00 0x00
to make it disappear.

Hey does anyone know how to make a POKEMART script
because it never tells in tutorals
so can anyone ell me how to make a POKEMART script?

Here's an example of the "Pokemart" command. If you want me to explain it, just ask.

#org $StartMarket
lock
faceplayer
pokemart $marketValues
release
end

#org $marketValues
#binary int 0x1 0x2 0x3 0x4 0x5 0x6 0x7 0x8
#binary int 0x9 0xa 0xb 0xc 0x13 0x14 0x0

I've been avoiding this for a while, but how would I make the hero follow someone?

 

[ShyRayq]

hey thethethethe i don't get the mart script can you explain it?

Just like a normal follow-me script. Just make the player follow the other OW, instead of the OW, following you.

hey thethethethe i don't get the mart script can you explain it?

Ok.

#org $StartMarket
lock
faceplayer
pokemart $marketValues 'pointer to items in the pokemart.
release
end

#org $marketValues
#binary int 0x1 0x2 0x3 0x4 0x5 0x6 0x7 0x8  'items. So in this case it's Masterball, Ultraball, Greatball, pokeball, etc
#binary int 0x9 0xa 0xb 0xc 0x13 0x14 0x0  'continueing items... Must End in 0x0 otherwise it won't work.

Is that enough explanation?

 

[ShyRayq]

you mean the first line joins with the second line?
or are they separate?

I meant what would I use?
applymovement 0xFF moves only the Hero.
applymovement 0x1 moves the person number.
I want the hero to follow someone.

In the situation that the hero is behind someone:

Spoiler:

#org $Follow
applymovement 0x01 $moveRivalUp                'You must have the person in front 1 step ahead otherwise they will bump into each other
$moveRivalUp 1 ; #Binary 0x09 0xfe
pausemove 0                                    'must have pausemove here because of two different movements to the same person
applymovement 0x01 $moveToTable
$moveRivalToTable 1 ; #Binary [movement data]
applymovement 0xFF $moveToTable
pausemove 0
end

Just change the $MovePlayerUp in respect to the person being followed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So if I wanted to make a sprite disappear after an event could I just compile the following code from PokeScript and change the pointer?

#org $Start
checkflag 0x82f
if B_false gosub $no
applymovement 0x04 $disappear
$disappear 1 ; #Binary 0x0a 0x60 0xfe
end

#org $no
release
end

 

[thethethethe]

you mean the first line joins with the second line?
or are they separate?

Yeah, the second line is just continuation. You can remove it, you can add a third line if you want. Just as long as you use 0x0 to end the pokemart integers.

Alright, i've tried to fix this script and have made steady progress, but I cant find out whats wrong with it. I know theres something wrong with battle 4 because it stuffs up there, but I don't know what... Could someone help me?

What happens is I land on the script, a pidgey comes and versus me, but then the next time I have to click for the next one to come. And the first pidgey doesn't dissapear.

You really need to read some tutorials.
You're raw movement codes should be after the applymovement (dosn't have to be just so that it is easier) and they don't need a separate line. Also you must end with 0xfe.

example:

applymovment 0x01 $something
$something 1 ; #raw 0x01 0x09 [...] [B]0xfe[/B]

You have 4 messages that say Not another one! Just use one and have the messages point to the same thing.

example:

message $h
$h 1 = gklhglahjklghjkab
boxset 6
[...]
message  $h
boxset 6
[...]
message $h
boxset 6

In wildbattle scripts you don't have the 0x.

example

wildbattle 5 20 1

Lastly check your setflag you wrote 0x08 should be 0x208. There might be some more, your script was hard to read try using paragraphs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------- MY QUESTION ---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So if I wanted to make a sprite disappear after an event could I just compile the following code from PokeScript and change the pointer?

#org $Start
checkflag 0x82f
if B_false gosub $no
applymovement 0x04 $disappear
$disappear 1 ; #Binary 0x0a 0x60 0xfe
end

#org $no
release
end

 

[/Circa]

To make a sprite dissapear you use #raw 0x53, but you don't put it in the movements commands. You put it after the the person walks off the screen, or in a battle situation, before they exit the screen.
And no, movements don't really work on my rom if they're after the applymovement, as I said. All the movements work fine, if I changed it to your way it just wouldn't work, none of my scripts worked like that. I'm using FireRed so some things might be different >_>. Also having 0x doesn't make a different, but I use it that way cause I learned that way ... Most of my scripts work fine so I don't think I need to read alot of tutorials..

Also, #raw is another way to write a command that isn't in the program. And sometimes it works better with that command. #raw commands are basically hex..

Hopefully that explains it a bit better..

About ending with a 0xFE in the suicune pointer I probably forgot it, but thats not where the problem appears >.>
And the setflag 0x208 was probably a typo, but again it's not where the problem appears.

Thanks thethethethe for the money and pokemart script info! You seem to know everything about scripting!

What's wrong with this script? It's supposed to make your mom walk up 1 step adn then talk to you, but all that happens is the game freezes.

What i edited is in bold..
try that.

 

[+Sneasel™]

It's still freezing.
I can't figure out why...

This is where i put the scripts (i put 4 using the same flag in those 4 spots, all using different movements)

Have you set the Unknown and Var Numbers in Advance Map like this?

Unknown 03 00
Var Number 52 40

9 times out of 10 that's why movement scripts freeze.

No, i didn't even know those mattered lol

I'll try it, thanks!

Edit: Works perfectly!
Thanks so much!
I better remember to do that for all my movement scripts!

Edit (again): I have another question:
How do you make a script for a person to not let you go somewhere until you've cleared an event.

Example: I want to make a guy block route 1 until you've done a certain event
Lets say the flag for that event is 0x205

Would i set the flag on the guy whoes blocking route 1's script 0x205?

 

[Swampert 22]

Basically, you don't have to put anything in the script itself, just in AdvanceMap, set the 'People Id' of the person that's blocking the path to the flag you used for the event.

Eg. You can't get into a cave until you do an event that sets the 888 flag. You simply set the 'ID' to 888 and when you do the event, he will be gone.

Try It!
