Hi. Can someone help me with my script?
When I use this script, game is pausing (I mean sound still plays, but I and all of NPC's can't move).

#dynamic 0x800240

#org @start
checkflag 0x829
if 0x0 goto @endofscript
checkflag 0x10A
if 0x1 goto @endofscript
applymovement 0xff @move
waitmovement 0x0
preparemsg @youhaveto
waitmsg
release
end

#org @endofscript
release
end

#org @move
#raw 0x11
#raw 0x11
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13
#raw 0xFE

#org @youhaveto
= [player], you have to talk with he!

Do waitmovement 0xFF since you are waiting for the player.

Use advance text. Vm me if you want it.

 

[zork787]

your words overlap because you are not telling them to be on another line... you use text commands like /p /n and /l to seperate lines... that should atleast solve some of your problem...

/p = make a new text box after pressing A
/n = make a new line in a text box(auto loads)
/l = make a new line in a text box after pressing A

Awesome, that'll help with some of the issue's I'm having.

Those things are hex representation of kana and kanji in ROM.
It doesn't seem to be present in English ROM, though.

Yeah, I figured that was gonna be what that coding was, now I just need to find out how to change the amount of space there is between actual word's now.

It worked fine for me when I tried it. Have you assigned it to a green script tile? If you have then its likely that you haven't altered the unknown and variable windows correctly. Here's an example of what they should look like:

Do waitmovement 0xFF since you are waiting for the player.

waitmovement 0x0 works on all OWs, including the player.

@UP
I can type only something like this:
Unknown: $XX
Var numver: $XXXX
So i can't type "300" (i can type only 2 digits).

You can just write '03' then :D

Now, game isn't pausing, but nothing happen.

Hey everyone. Roughneck JB here - Long time lurker, first time hacker.

I just started a FireRed ROM hack, and I've finished scripting up to the point where you receive your Starter & battle your Rival, (as well as a few late-game events), and have somehow managed to permanently stop all wild pokemon from appearing.

I can't find any record of this happening in other tutorials or help questions, nor can I find any flag or variable which could be responsible.
Does anyone here know how to fix this?

 

[zork787]

So after a good few hours of searching around the forums and Google, I have yet to find anything that point's me in the direction of changing how big the spaces are in the Japanese pokemon games, and as anyone with any knowledge of the Japanese language can tell you that the spaces are pretty big overall, which doesn't really work when your trying to have sentences in any kind of language that uses some form of Alphabet (such as English :V ) so any help would be AMAZING!

There are several vars that control repel steps. Did you touch them?:D

If something simple like your second script isn't working then you are probably using an outdated version of XSE. The most recent release was XSE 1.1.1 which you can download here. Every version of XSE was supposed to auto-update to the most recent build but that system has been broken for a few years now.

if you were editing the maps (or making new ones) and added pokemon, maybe you forgot to set the encounter rate (not percentage) above 0... if its 0 you have a 0% chance of walking into a pokemon...

of course this is map specific

 

[Roughneck JB]

@LocksmithArmy, that was my first guess too, but I changed the encounter rates several times & it did nothing.

@Karatekid552, that sounds plausible. I'll try & find out which vars trigger Repel mechanics. Thanks! :D

Look in my signature, I have a list of almost every known flag and var.

 

[Roughneck JB]

OK, the only Vars I saw which sound like suspects are 4020 - 4025, and I haven't triggered any of them. I even tried a Level script which changed the setting for 4020, and all that did was display the "Repel wore off" message every few steps...

Are there any other known causes?

Behavior Bytes. Open up A-Map and go into the block editor after you open up any out door map. Goto the grass tile, and make sure the behavior bytes is set to 02 02 and the background bytes are 00 01. This goes for all tiles that have grass on them. Also, you must click save indivigually for all tiles.

 

[QuartierGenerale]

Hi,

i've two scripts. The first one works fine, if player is facing up the movement apply is different. This is the code:

compare PLAYERFACING UP
if == jump 0x8153B49 ' Equal To
jump 0x8153B59

The second one does not. It enter in LEFT block although player is facing up. This is the code:

compare PLAYERFACING LEFT
if == jump 0x874238A ' Equal To
compare PLAYERFACING RIGHT
if == jump 0x874237B ' Equal To
jump 0x8742399

The only difference is in the first case is a person event (so you have to talk with a person for start the script) while in the second is a script event associated with a tile block.

I'm using PKSV, can anyone help me?

NB. during test in the second case i have also added a faceplayer before but nothing change.

Thanks a lot

I'm making a movement script and I ran into a problem... It works fine like this:

Spoiler:

#dyn 0x740000
#org @main
lock
faceplayer
message @First
callstd MSG_NORMAL
compare playerfacing up
if == call @up
compare playerfacing down
if == call @down
compare playerfacing left
if == call @left
compare playerfacing right
if == call @right
message @Last
callstd MSG_NOCLOSE
pause 0xA
closemsg
applymovement 0x1 @walkaway
applymovement PLAYER @seeaway
pauseevent 0x0
fadedefault
disappear 0x1
setflag 0x200
release
end

#org @up
applymovement 0x1 @leadup
applymovement PLAYER @followup
pauseevent 0x0
return
#org @down
applymovement 0x1 @leaddown
applymovement PLAYER @followdown
pauseevent 0x0
return
#org @left
applymovement 0x1 @leadleft
applymovement PLAYER @followleft
pauseevent 0x0
return
#org @right
applymovement 0x1 @leadright
applymovement PLAYER @followright
pauseevent 0x0
return

But I don't want the sprite to disappear I want it to say something else if you walk to it again. So I tried to add a flag and it glitched the game...

Yep. I did indeed forget that I'd changed a lot of background bytes to 00 20 some time ago. Thanks so much! :D
