Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

Question: How do I make it so that dynamic offsets are what is read by the A-map offset thing? 'Cause I put in a dynamic offset, and can never find the offset (even re-loading the same one) for the script. Any help?!?!

Hi, I can't seem to get this script working. It's my main one to set it. But everytime I click on the overworld sprite of the person thats meant to be doing the script it freezes. And the script is meant to disappear after It's finished as well as the overworld. But I can't get ANYTHING to work.

This belongs in the Simple Questions Thread but I'll help you out anyways.

When you put an offset after the "#dynamic", XSE searches for the next block of free space after that offset that is big enough to put your script in. If you put "#dynamic 0x800000" and there was nothing at that offset, then the script would compile to 0x800000. However, if you previously compiled a script to 0x800000 and you try to compile a script that has a "#dynamic 0x800000" in it, XSE will check that offset and find that there's already a script there. Seeing that, it will skip to the end of that script where there is more free space and then insert your script there. So even if you put a "#dynamic 0x800000", your script could very likely be located somewhere else. "So where did my script end up?" you might be asking yourself. Well, after you press the compile button, a window should pop up with a bunch of gibberish that you don't understand. However, this is very important. At the bottom of that window is a box with the header "Dynamic Offsets" that has the names of the labels (e.g., "@main", "@done") that you used in the script. You will want to locate "@main" and copy the offset that shows up next to it because that offset is where the script got stored. You can then paste that offset into whatever script offset box you want in AdvanceMap.

Hope that helps.

I posted this already, but I deleted that post. I feel this would be a better place for my question, anywho. I need help with my warp scripts. I am trying to hack FR and when I try to go into my warp it just leads me to a black screen. I'm using pokescript still, but I have tried it in XSE also and the same thing happened. I've been looking everywhere for the past two days for an answer and I just can't get it.

#org $start
warp 0x3 0x41 0xff
#raw 0x1A 0x00 0x04 0x00
release
end

That's one of my scripts, just in case the error is in my script. Please help me.

Thank you. @belonging in simple questions: I figured since this had to do with scripting, it'd go here... Soo, since my FSF says there is free space at 0x800000, I can write my script there? I'm sorry for being a complete failure here, but I REALLY want to learn scripting for Darkest Shadows

I really need help with this. Can someone please tell me where i went wrong?

There are 2 ways to do it. One is still a mystery to me as to how it works, the other uses more bytes but is easier to understand. Type 1:

There's no setflag command in the script, but it appears to set one anyway, basing it off the person ID in AdvanceMap, but I believe only certain flags work. 01C0 and up can be used, but I don't know where these end and the regular flags begin. Just set the flag to Person ID of the Pokeball.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x740000
#org @start
giveitem 0x(item number) 0x(quantity) 0x1
end

Now, the standard script, uses many more bytes but makes sense. Set whatever flag you used to the Pokeball's person ID.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x740000
#org @start
lock
setvar 0x4000 (use any var you want, I just use 4000 as my temporary var) 0x(item number)
bufferitem 0x0 0x4000
additem 0x4000 0x1 (or any other quantity)
fanfare 0x13E (or any other fanfare you want)
preparemsg @text
waitmsg
waitfanfare
setflag 0x200 (again, or any other flag)
release
end

#org @text
= \v\h01 found one \v\h02!

If you aren't at that point of scripting yet, the var stores the number of the item you want, and the commands later using 0x4000 read that var. The bufferitem stores the value of 0x4000 as an item name to buffer \v\h02. So, if you set 0x4000 to 0xD, the script will add a potion and display "(name) found one POTION!" I did it this way so all you have to do is copy/paste the script and change the value of a var and flag to use other items. Set the pokeball's person ID to whatever flag you used (200 in this case) to make it vanish after the script.

Try adding a special 0x8E to the script, it will reset the map, changing screen without the need of leaving the area

oh, wait, just put a hidesprite 0x800F before the setflag

Hey guys, im kinda new but i got a problem with a flag im making for running shoes. When the main character steps on any of the 3 script tiles, a guy on the left gets an exclamation mark, goes to the player, and gives him the shoes but the problem is that it freezes whenever i go on the script tile. Here's the code:

#dynamic 0x34EB8C

I think that should do the trick.

more than likely this is extremely simple, but im a noob. say I added a legendary pokemon script, when i talk to it, i'll engage the battle. I've got that bit cracked, but it doesnt disappear after i defeat it, how do i make it disappear?

In A-Map, where on that legendary Pokemon OW says Person ID, write a flag there. For example, 1500.

And you have to use the "hidesprite [Person event no.]" in the script.

ok i followed the instructions, but it didn't work, so obviously i'm doing something wrong.
this time, the sprite doesnt turn up at all! can you have a look at this screenshot and see whats wrong?

You set the Move type to "Hidden".

i thought that was what you meant by hide sprite, what do you actually mean? yes i know, i'm a noob... :(

Don't worry, it took me a year to learn scripting XD

Open up the script of your Lugia in XSE. Because there's no hidesprite command there, you need to re-script it. You did script it by yourself, right? Well, add this to the end of your script.

...
fadescreen 0x1
hidesprite LASTTALKED
