[Script] [pokeemerald] Refresh map without warping

[Mottasse]

I'm trying to refresh a map during a dialogue, in order to refresh the events of the map with the modifications done to the flags used in "events.inc" during the dialogue. In order to refresh the map, what I'm using right now is

warp MAP_LITTLEROOT_TOWN_PROFESSOR_BIRCHS_LAB, 6, 5

This works perfectly, but I wonder if there is a simpler command that does the same thing but without teleporting, and thus without having a black screen when I'm using the command. Something like

refresh MAP_LITTLEROOT_TOWN_PROFESSOR_BIRCHS_LAB

if that makes any sense. Any idea ?

This is a simple fix I think I can help you. First of all whenever you set a flag of the object you want to disappear, I usually do this...

lock
faceplayer
msgbox("ok bye")
closemessage
fadescreen FADE_TO_BLACK
setflag(FLAG OF OBJECT_ID)
removeobject(OBJECT_ID Number)
fadescreen FADE_FROM_BLACK
release
end

I hope this helps you out in some way...Let me know

Unfortunately it doesn't do what I want, because there still is a fade. I would like to not have any fade (so no black screen) but still refresh the map the same way as when I do warp MAP_LITTLEROOT_TOWN_PROFESSOR_BIRCHS_LAB, 6, 5. It is not essential to my rom hack, but it is just a bit ugly to have a fade there. Thanks for your help, though !

Are you setting different map tiles or what? explain what you are trying to do just happen? maybe i can help

I found what was wrong !

I had a few objects that depended on event flags. The problem is that if an event flag is set for an object, you cannot use the command 'showobject' because the object doesn't exist. I was warping to prevent that, this way I just had to clear the flag of my object, warp, and then my object would disappear.

What I didn't know is that I can use 'addobject' and 'removeobject' instead of 'showobject' and 'hideobject'. This allows to add an object that was hidden by its event flag.
