[Archive] Script help thread

[Bluewarwolf]

OK I kinda get it a little better now.... I can post images too, so here is what happens when I click Open Script in Events:

And here is what happens when I manually put in a Trainer's offset... it shows 3 lines, but they are all the same thing:

 

[Tony the Awesome]

"Programmers start counting at 0. The rest of the world starts counting at 1."

When comparing the result of a yes/no message, you can either get 0x0 or 0x1, where 0x0 is the "NO" answer and 0x1 is the "YES" one.
Except that, when there are only 2 type of choices (like in your case), it doesn't make a lot of sense checking the answer two times. If it's yes, it can't be no and vice-versa.
For more details, see the fixed and optimized script below:

Uhh, it still doesnt work. How does a multi command script look like?

 

[Bluewarwolf]

What's wrong with this script? I haven't been able to get it to work..... all the person does is just stand there, and nothing happens. Also, no other script works either :( One other thing..... is it normal that when you start the game after scripting, that the game is a little.... "laggy" I guess you'd say? Like, I can press Left and my character goes Left twice or all the way, even if I let go. Just an example. Anyway, here's the script:


#dynamic 0x71B69C

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
message @1
boxset 0x6
givepokemon 0x6 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
message @2
boxset 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Have a Charizard\n, on the house :)

#org @2
= You got Charizard!\nWhat a nice guy.

 

[liuyanghejerry]

Well,I don't think your ROM is normal...
Maybe you could check whether 0x71B69C is a free space.

 

[Kaizer-X]

Try using the free space finder, it is a useful tool when scripting new scripts

 

[HackMew]

Did you actually try it? Because I did, and it was working fine.
I'm wondering what were you expecting the script to do...
Sure, a multichoice could be better in this case, just decompile an in-game script.

There's nothing wrong with the script...
Note: even if there's not free space available on that offset you used for the #dynamic, XSE is smart enough to scan the ROM anyway, looking for free space.
Try compiling the same script on a clean ROM.

 

[Bluewarwolf]

OK, so why won't XSE decompile a script? I posted a screenshot already of what happens when I manually put in an offset, and if I just click Open Script.

Are you sure your ROM is clean? Check that.

If not, reinstalling XSE, and choose it as a script editor again on Advance map.
If this doesn't work, then your ROM is probably corrupted.

 

[Bluewarwolf]

Yea, it was just the ROM FireRed, cause I just tried on LeafGreen and it worked. Still trying to figure out why my script isn't working, but on LeafGreen Advance Map isn't finding any free space for some reason

What do you man Advance map is not finding free space? Do you mean free space for the scripts?

If so, then I advise you to use a HEX editor to find the free space, or download Free Space Finder, and put it in the same folder as XSE, and when you want to find free space, open XSE, and go to Tool>Free Space Finder.

Ok, this script is supposed to have a person give me 6 Lucky Eggs, and I put them in my bag. It will, of course check if my bag is full or not. But when he goes to give me the item, the message runs over into the one he's supposed to say after I get the items, and the screen goes black with some red. What'd I do wrong? Script:

Okay I need a script that does this:
When you walk downstairs from your room in FR, your mom gets this ! sign on top of her head and walks over to you. she says:

Hey Honey, Happy Birthday! Guess what, we got a call about dad!... We'll talk about that later.. Nows the time for celebration! Anyways, I'll be out on the beach catching some fish. Bye!

and then she walks out. Thanks guys =]

Which Fire Red rom are you using, the name of it, what is it :D

 

[Bluewarwolf]

Which Fire Red rom are you using, the name of it, what is it :D

Actually I switched to LeafGreen because FireRed was corrupted :p But I actually fixed that script, there are no errors anymore :) I'm trying to make a dynamic one for some people to use, if they want, but so far I keep getting stuck, because it keeps acting like the event already happened.

 

[-DarK-]

Hey, one question:

Is it possible to create a wild battle where you can't run away from?

Make sure you're using proper flags and restart the game so all the flags are cleared.

Hey, one question:

Anything is possible, but unless that's a coded feature built-in original games (through some particular special, for example) you will need ASM.

 

[Cy-Chan]

Hey, one question:

Is it possible to create a wild battle where you can't run away from?

It's possible, although I don't believe there are any battles that disable it. You could use the standard overworld encounter script though, to make the battle loop if you run.

Some pokemon don't let you run away (special effects) so could always make it with one of those pokemon, or edit the pokemon you wish to fight's effects etc.

As for me, i'm getting back into scripting, using xse but haven't got alot of examples to work with, can somebody please make me a script that does....

Well basicly as you go to leave the 1st town in my hack i would like the proffessor to show an exclamation mark over his head as you go to talk to him, i wan't him to say (i can script these bits sorta)

"oh hey [playername] i was meant to give you your pokemon today right?
Sorry i completely forgot, prof elm called me to johto so i'm leaving right away...
Theres really no time to run back to the lab or i'l miss my plane....
I tell ya what, here take this one -proffesor gives a lvl 5 bagon-

And then i would like him to never return to this map, im sure its possible just requirs setting flags im just not really great at it and need to see some examples, anyway ty in advance - zak

Did you try decompiling the Oak script on FR/LG? That acts pretty much the same as you want. If you want the player to never return to that map you should remove any map connection and flight position.
