[Dratii]

Nowhere in the script did you use "lock" or "faceplayer"

Boxset 0x2 doesn't need "lock" or "faceplayer" it does it automatically.

 

[Vrai]

Nowhere in the script did you use "lock" or "faceplayer"

Is that really needed? I used boxset 0x2, which gives the same effect as lock and faceplayer. Do I need to have them in a person script altogether?

Edit: I guess I just type too slow.

You don't need the release at @start, because it's all commanding what the script should n do next, it hasn't said anything until after @start so it releases the script before it can get to the actual script or even acknowledge you.

 

[Sierraffinity]

Alright, everybody. I made a pretty big script that is supposed to define a random thing to talk about, and then talk about it. When I put the script on A-Map, and then talk to the person in the emulator, nothing happens. What did I do wrong?

Here's the script...

Before either of you posted, I edited my post to say that I magically fixed it. Hehe.

The script works all fine and dandy, but then, it comes up again every time I step on the tile. Is there something I'm forgetting?

Graarg.

The script works fine. Don't pay any attention to that. The problem is, is that even after the whole script is done, this part continues after I step on the tile. I think it might have something to do with the flags, but I'm not sure.

Now that should work. Remember: trainerbattle almost always ends the script right there and doesn't continue. That's why the script loops and the flag doesn't set.

 

[0m3GA ARS3NAL]

Now that should work. Remember: trainerbattle almost always ends the script right there and doesn't continue. That's why the script loops and the flag doesn't set.

Just to clarify to the people who don't understand trainerbattle...

trainerbattle 0x0 [trainer#] 0x0 [challenge text] [win text] This form of trainer battle will end the script

trainerbattle 0x1 [trainer#] 0x0 [challenge text] [win text] [continued script pointer]
This will allow continuation of the script

Example:

#dynamic 0x800000 #org @start lock faceplayer trainerbattle 0x1 134 0x0 @iwillwin @darn @continue end #org @continue message @greatbattle boxset 6 release end #org @iwillwin = I'm going to win! #org @darn = oh darn, I lost! #org @greatbattle = that was a great\nbattle [PLAYER].

 

[score_under]

#raw 0x53 0x03 0x00

This won't do anything except from make it look prettier, but...
XSE has a command "hidesprite", which does this for you.
"hidesprite 3" instead of "#raw 0x53 0x03 0x00".

0m3GA AR$3NAL's solution should work fine, but it bugs me when people use needless #RAW commands, making the script editor look worse than it really is ;)

 

[HackMew]

Thanks, it works perfectly.

You're welcome.

Remember: trainerbattle almost always ends the script right there and doesn't continue. That's why the script loops and the flag doesn't set.

Absolutely not. If you don't trust me, just decompile some trainerbattle scripts and watch how they work in-game.

The script works all fine and dandy, but then, it comes up again every time I step on the tile. Is there something I'm forgetting?

Yes. The fact that using a trainerbattle 0x1 requires you to use 3 pointers, and not 2 two as you did.
Next version of XSE won't even allow you to compile it like that.

The syntax for trainer battle 0x1 is the following:

trainerbattle 0x1 [TrainerNo.] [Reserved (0x0 will be fine 99.99% of the times)] [BeforeText] [AfterText] [AfterScript]

An easy fix to your script would be to change the trainerbattle type from 0x1 to 0x0:

trainerbattle 0x0 [TrainerNo.] [Reserved (same as above)] [BeforeText] [AfterText]

I made sure that they were assigned to different offsets, and the script that Brendan is using actually works for the person it was intended for. What did I do wrong?
