Hi. How would I go about making a wild pokemon appear rare in a certain grass area and then change the area when the player moves from one area to another? In other words, how would I 'emulate' the legendary dogs encounters or latios/latias encounters after one beats the elite 4?

@ christos
Well thanks for the applymovement, MY sprite moves.
But, how do you get OTHER sprites to move?
movesprite 0xEventnummer 0xOffset?

"applymovement 0xFF 0x[offset]" is for the player

For other sprites it's "applymovement 0x[sprite's people nr.] 0x[offset]

 

[frank$or]

And do you have to put the offset in a People event or a Script event?

You have to put the offset in after the sprite's people number.

 

[frank$or]

I mean if you use the #org offset of the script in AM.
For a PEOPLE event, or a SCRIPT event.
I'm trying things out with this script:

#org 0x86AB40
applymovement 0x13 0x86AB50
pause 0x10
end

#org 0x86AB50
#raw 3
#raw FE

If i use it with a SCRIPT event in AM, then the game freezes.

A G/S/C question for you to awnser.


This is a dumb question...

Do I have to map both floors of the National park, and if you go into a bug contest will it automaticlly transfer you to the national park floor map 2 so you can take part in the bug contest in the floor 2, so like the floor one will be used to visit it without you been in the bug contest.

So basiclly.

Do I need to re map both ones and will the game transfer me to the Secound floor of the national park during a bug catching contest?

#raw FE

If i use it with a SCRIPT event in AM, then the game freezes.

If you use it on a "people" event or a script event it's the same thing.
But in the script event put 03 00 for "Unknown" and something for "var Number". If it still freezes or doesn't do anything, try using something different for "Var Number".

Aaugh! Now I have a new problem! I used Thingy32, and opened my ROM and 2 Table files, but then it said Runtime Error '14': Out of String Space!
What does that mean? (And it worked perfectly this morning.) A-a-a-and, I did the whole Hello World! tutorial in Elite Map, but the fat guy ended up saying a whole bunch of weird symbols that are probably hex or something. How do I fix that?

 

[GargnaroK]

Can someone explain me the pause command?
I know its based on the time in milliseconds, but how can I relate it to the steps that a sprite makes during an applymovement script?

Thanks in advance

You have to put 0x10 for each step. For example, if in the script the sprite moves 4 steps you have to put "pause 0x40".

@ christos again. ( meh, i begin to like you ^^ )

Last time i focused to much on the applymovement, And you also said something about trainerbattle.
Well, i don't get trainerbattle yet.

you said:

[B]trainerbattle[/B]
trainerbattle bKind iBattle ptrIntro ptrDefeat
Starts a trainer battle.
bKind is 0x00 for normal battles, 0x04 for 2-on-2 and 0x05 for rematches

What do you have to put in by battle intro defeat o_o

 

[charimon]

He is really nice huh ^^

well I'll try to explain it:

trainerbattle
trainerbattle bKind iBattle ptrIntro ptrDefeat
Starts a trainer battle.
bKind is 0x00 for normal battles, 0x04 for 2-on-2 and 0x05 for rematches.

Bkind is double/normal/gym, Ibattle is nr. of the trainer in PET(if i'm correct O_O), Ptr Intro is the tekst the trainer says first. PtrDefeat is when you defeated him.
for Ptr Intro/Defeat you just place the offset of the message.

the only thing i miss is a third pointer O_O at least that's what rubikon says xD.

 

[GargnaroK]

You have to put 0x10 for each step. For example, if in the script the sprite moves 4 steps you have to put "pause 0x10".

Then, for example, if I want the sprite to moves 51 steps at any direction I must insert 51 pause 0x10 in the script?

Sorry, my mistake. If it's 1 step it's "pause 0x10", 2 steps "pause 0x20" etc.
But remember that it's in hexadecimal so 10 steps should be "pause 0xA", 11 steps "pause 0xB" etc.
If you put 51 steps you have to add "pause 0x33".

What's wrong with this script? It makes the first movement(applymovement 0x4 0x7256C9) and then the game freezes!=\

#org 0x7256B4
checkflag 0xA10
if 0 0x7256BF
release
end

#org 0x7256BF

faceplayer
applymovement 0x4 0x7256C9

applymovement 0xFF 0x7256FF
pause 0x35

applymovement 0x4 0x725739
applymovement 0xFF 0x725742

Change the Pokémon Dude Catches

Hi; this is my first post here, and possibly my only one. I did a few searches and found nothing of value, so hopefully I'm not breaking any rules.

I'm doing an edit of Pokémon Gold. It's mainly just making humorous changes to the text, but there are a few other things that I'm changing as well. Everything has been going well so far...

...until I try to change the Pokémon that the NPC referred to only as DUDE catches when he gives you a Pokémon catching tutorial. I did a pointer search for the start of the tutorial. The offset for the pointer is 128F78. I've only been able to find two pointer calculators for Gold, and they all lead to 4A784F... which doesn't seem to exist!

If anyone could help me, I would be very thankful. I'm trying to change the Lv. 5 Rattata that he catches to a Lv. 99 Ho-Oh. I'm hoping I can do this by changing a 0513 (Lv. 5 Rattatta) to 99FA (Level 99 Ho-Oh.) Please tell me if these codes are wrong as well.

Stupid applymovement.
I can't get it to work.
People event doesn't work, and neither script.

Did you compile the script correctly?
Save the script as an .rbc file in the folder where ScriptED is. Its name must have no spaces in the name. The ROM must be in there too with no spaces in the name as well.

 

[frank$or]

I use diamondcutter instead of scriptED.
For some reason scriptED doesn't work o_o. the scripts don't work.
Anyway, other script i compile @ diamondcutter work, so that isn't the problem.
