Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[Andrut]

Should i replace the previous Specialx173? Because my game freezes when Gary says he'll borrow a town map from Daisy....
EDIT: I replaced it and works now. =3

 

[Drithlan]

Man I want this fixed.. :(

Spoiler:

SetHealingPlace difference

At a request, this command was changed to allow a greater number of healing points, that is to say nearly infinite (or at least the full map range of 65536 maps). This code was altered to a point of near-redundancy.
Originaly, this code was a direct correlation between the Flight table and a table of PokéCenters and XY coordinates where the player would appear on. Now, we can add flight points by re-pointing the table to a new location and create more Flight flags on the map. But you could only appear on the PokéCenter the original flight table told you to. In fact, SetHealingPlace only placed the pre-determined flight position in memory, close to the escape-rope data. If you tried to set the flying number higher than the original one, the game would cancel the setting.

The new version uses three variables, 0x405a, 0x405b and 0x405c as the map, X-position and Y-position respectively. The map is placed in the format 0xmmBB, being BB the Bank number and mm the map number. In AdvanceMap, the map number and bank are presented in Decimal form, so you need to place them in Hexadecimal form.

For instance, to use the PokéCenter in Indigo Plateau (13,0), you would use setvar 0x405a 0x000d. To place them in the right place for the nurse, you would also use setvar 0x405b 0x000d setvar 0x405c 0x000c

In the end, this method replaces SetHealingPlace altogether, and the old way doesn't work anymore. Using Sethealingplace is only useful in one occasion, and that is because sethealingplace 0x1 is the only one that doesn't call the default nurse animation. So, you can use sethealingplace 0x0 for all pokecenters and sethealingplace 0x1 for the places where there isn't a healing machine (like a campsite in the florest)

Tools: XSE, A-Map, JPANS Hacked Engine v1.1

This is the script you need:

Just noticed this typo:

#dynamic (insert offset here 0xXXXXXX)
#org @main
sethealingplace 0x1 ////Note 1
setvar 0x405A 0xmmBB ////Note 2
setvar 0x405B 0xXX
setvar 0x405C 0xYY
end

Note 1:
This determines if there is going to be the PC animation or not.
0x0 is the PC animation 0x1 is talking to your mother. I haven't looked into changing this script yet.

Note 2:
setvar 0x405A 0xmmBB
This is what map you will spawn at. mm is map number BB is bank.
setvar 0x405B 0xXX
This is the X position on the map.
setvar 0x405C 0xYY
This is the Y position on the map.

So to spawn below your mother you would use:

sethealingplace 0x1 ////No PC Animation
setvar 0x405A 0x4 ///// Your house (4,0) (B,m)
setvar 0x405B 0x8 ///// X pos 8
setvar 0x405C 0x5 ///// Y pos 5

Now where to place this script.
Under the header tab in A-Map Add a script to ANY map you are going to enter.

Now you should set your Script type to:
03 On entering map/not on menu close

Spoiler:

and add the offset for the script you compiled in XSE.

Now just enter the zone with this script then go white out anywhere as long as you don\t change variables 0x405A, 0x405B, and 0x405C before you Whiteout you will respawn where you set it to.

If you have any other questions please ask and I'll try to answer them for you.



Now....

When making your own rom hack how should you set the offsets for the scripts?

Should I place the scripts as I go? or Should I clump similar scripts together? Should I offer a sacrifice to the gaming gods? I don't know!

Please know....

Also Is there a way to move the Textbox to the top of the screen?

Thanks a bunch man! I'm pretty sure that header bit is the problem. But if I added moms offset, which is where I put the set healingplace script, will it read that whole "moms" script, or just the bit it needs? Should I just make a script tile and place it on the map with that script compiled to it?

EDIT: Actually, tried it both ways, still have a problem. I compiled that script to a green script tile, and to moms script, both don't work. Typing it exactly like to typed it give me a type mismatch on line one, so I gave it an offset like this

#dynamic 0x8003C0
#org @main
sethealingplace 0x1
etc
etc
etc
end

This was the only way it let me compile, and still, doesn't work. Offset is place on the header like you said. :/

I don't understand this statement. Could you clarify it more please.

This script works as a Script Tile (The Green one), as a Sign Script (the orange one), as a person script, and in the header. All you need to really do is set those 3 variables. This will only work in a rom with the Hacked engine applied to it. If you follow my instructions there is no reason it shouldn't work. (Except for that Typo I had Thanks for pointing it out. I fixed it)

Could you please provide me with any mods/hacks/and any other information that would make solving your problem easier.

Well, moms script consists of message boxes and the sethealingplace scripts. I was wondering if the offset (in this case, moms full script) in the header thats being read (which would be the sethealingplace script according to you) would read ALL of moms script as you white out, instead of whats neccessary for the sethealingplace script to work.
You said I set the offset to the header right? So offset 0x8001E0 has:
(mom)
#dynamic 0x8001e0
#org @start
sethealing
blah
blah
blah
msgbox etc
release
end
I put that in the header, will that read just the set healingplace or all of it?
But the answer is not really needed, just curious.

Either way, I set it to a green tile script with just the sethealingplace script compiled to it and set it in the house, applied that offset to the header and script type is 3. I go white out, and STILL get sent to celedon dept, trapped in the black bourder. No other apps or programs or patches have been used.

In use are:
FR clean rom, the origional
FR hacked patch, which is now applied to the FR origional
opened it up in A-map
and I added some script with XSE (give pokemon,pokedex,message boxes,running shoes), but thats it.

 

[Drithlan]

I see your Problem. Put moms script to her sprite. and the Set healingplace in it's own script. in the header.

 

[Zenox9120]

Would this be considered a script problem? It's not 100% scripting, but it's script related.

So, I've installed Poketscript, and I did it the same way I did before and it worked before. It seemed to load fine, but whenever I try to compile a script, a bunch of text loads, but eventually it just goes blank. It never loads bufrite at all, making burning the script impossible.

Any ideas as to why this is? I'm to used to poketscript syntax to switch to XSE, otherwise I would :(

Poketscript syntax is not very different XSE syntax. Switch to XSE and read Diegoisawesome's MEGA HUGE Scripting Tutorial to get used to the commands. Trust me, switching scripting methods is worth it.

Yup... did that. I even re-whiped the rom to make sure its clean and it still won't work. I have no idea why its not working, so I sent it to ya.

Hey, it's me again. I got this weird problem with my script. Every time I try to compile this script (via XSE), the program gives me an error code "Unknown keyword "" on line 47". I've tried everything, nohting works. I was hoping you guys could help me out.

It's hard to count line numbers when they aren't provided but I'd guess that the problem lies in the section of the script with the text strings. You should put each entire string on its own line. For example, '@3' is spread over three lines. Just put all that text on one line (and do the same for '@6') and it should compile.

 

[E-boy]

When in XSE the text isn't spread over multiple lines, that happened when I pasted it to the forums.

The 47th line is the blank space between @3 and @4 btw.

 

[colcolstyles]

Ah.
Well when I copied your script into XSE and tried to compile it, it worked fine. Maybe you should check the contents of the header file that you included.

 

[E-boy]

Thanks for the help but that doesn't seem to work either, I'll try to reinstall XSE and see how that works out.

hey guys i'm editing my emerald ROM so i can catch all 386 pokemon but i came across a problem: when i try to look for the part of the script where birch gives you the national dex i cant find it sooo can someone paste the script for me plz:) BTW what's the special number to activate the national i know its special 0x16F in fire red but i dont know what it is in emerald

hello, I read diegoawesome's scripting tutorial and at the moment I'm making a hack, at the beginning the mother talk to us and say that she's gonna die so I want her to disappear so I made this script:

The mother disappears but If I walk, she appears again but I want her to disappear once for all. Can someone help me? Thank you

Okay, I input a script and stuff, but now when i step on the tile, it won't work. It's just a normal tile. I know I have to change stuff. But, what do i change?

Your problem is this:

setflag 501

The 501 needs to be 0x501.

setflag 0x501

Okay, I input a script and stuff, but now when i step on the tile, it won't work. It's just a normal tile. I know I have to change stuff. But, what do i change?

In AdvanceMap, there are two fields which you'll need to change. The first is the "Var Number" box. Here, you should put the variable/flag that you plan to set in the script assigned to that script tile. The second is the "Var Value" box. This will usually be '0000' (that's hex, mind you) but it can be different. When the player steps on the script tile, the game compares the contents of the variable/flag in the "Var Number" box with the value in the "Var Value" field. If the two are equal, then the script will be run. However, if they are not equal, then the script won't be triggered.

 

[Donkey5]

I'm a beginning scripter and experimenting with various scripts. I have a problem right here, it's hidesprite. The sprite keeps reappearing after I make a step, although the flag number is the same as the person's ID. The cry also doesn't work. Can someone help me?
