Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[0m3GA ARS3NAL]

This might not be a script question, but guys do you know if it is possible to insert an item image and then make a new item in fire red?

Yes, this can be done, but it requires ASM knowlege, and I don't know enough... *AHEM* HackMew, and whoever else is making ASM tuts...

 

[Attilas]

aha i see. Thanks a lot 0m3GA ARS3NAL

= Hi! I just recently moved here from\nthe Hoenn region.\n\nI'm here to help new trainers by\ngiving them berries and teaching\nthem how to use them.

#org @2
= It's alright. I'm sure someone else\nwould like the berry.

#org @3
= You can use berries from the BAG menu\nduring battle or out of battle.\n\nIf you give it to a Pokemon before battle,\nit will use it at the right moment.\n\nI can't give you anymore berries,\nbut you can plant them in patches of\nsoil and pick them when they're ripe.

It's okay now, but the script won't save when I compile it. Any ideas?

 

[Attilas]

change the offset to something hight than 0x8000 ?

 

[Xatoku]

Does anybody know how I could make the game start in a script instead of being able to move around right at the begining?

 

[specialjerm]

It's offset is not 0x8000

Obviously, there's more to this in the script. But, this is the only part of any relevence. After it gives you Cyndaquil, the fanfare will start to play, then the colors will mess up and the game does nothing. Why?

finally started to learn how those scripts works....
OK I've opened FSF to find some free space then I took the offset he gave me and I've put on a-map then I used this script:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x6
cry 0x6 0x0
wildbattle 0x6 0x1E 0x8B
fadescreen 0x1
fadescreen 0x0
hidesprite 0x800F
setflag 0x200
release
end

#org @1
= CHARIZARD: Raaarrgghh!

this is for charizard but I will change it into zapdos,anyway then I've clicked X and it asked me if I want to save,I've pressed yes and then when I've clicked open script all the script was deleted and I saw only that
'---------------
#org 0x1792BE

it always happends what to do?

"#dynamic 0x800000" This is supposed to be the offset you found in Free Space Finder.
Also you need also to copy the same offset you foind in FSF into the "Script Offset" box in Advance Map. Or it won't work.

Also i don't use an old version of Advance Map. I use the lastest 1.92 Advance Map release and still i need to use 0300 Unknown and not 3. Maybe i don't have lastest version, I don't really know.

Well, do you have the level script button clicked in XSE? Below the menu, there are a few icons, the one on the far right is clicked for level scripts. If it is, in fact, checked, uncheck it.

ok that's what I'm doing,I found the script offset on FSF then I've inserted it on advance map ($1792BE) now I click open the script,this is what I see:

Try copying it all to a text document.
Seriously, text documents, ( .TXT ) are the same as .rbc, just with a different file extension.
If you save the file into a .txt, you can't get this problem because you are saving it into an external program... Gotta think OUTSIDE the box.

Before I start on quite a long script, I need some help. Although I don't think it's possible, you ever know.

Is there a way to set a variable and use that in a trainerbattle command? I'm using XSE.
Example:

servar 0x7000 0xA
trainerbattle 0x0 0x7000 0x0 @fight1 @fight2

So instead of starting a battle with trainer 28672 it starts a battle with trainer 10, the value of the var I set before the battle starts.

When you use it this way, it seems pretty useless, but I need one script to battle a lot of different trainers.
I really hope this would work, but if not I just need to make one pretty large script.

(Don't say: asm could do this easily, I never tried ASM before)

Copy and paste that script, then click the compile button (the two gears next to the bug).

I need help with this script, for Ruby rom:

I will add to it later, but when I walk on the tile the message appears but no movement occurs, the sprite is person number 12 like in the script.

Wrap your script around the SPOILER tags next time.

COMMENT: You said that the person event number is 12, right? Then why did you put in your script 0x12? 12 is a decimal number, hence 0x12 is a hex number...
SOLUTION: Change your script command to applymovement 12 or applymovement 0xC...
SUGGESTION: Don't confuse yourself with hex and decimal. Use MS Calculator or XSE's calculator...

^ I just tried it out and it worked, thanks

Ok here is my script. (For my FireRed based hack).

Spoiler:

#org $start
checkflag 0x828
if b_true goto $done
message $1
boxset 5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if b_true goto $take
release
end

#raw 0x53 0x0F 0x80
setflag 0x1000
boxset 6
release
end

#org $done
message $6
boxset 6
release
end

#org $1
$1 1 =An orange egg, who knows what it will\nhatch to.\pWould you like it?

#org $3
$3 1 =\c\h01\h02You received an Egg!

#org $5
$5 1 =With enough steps that egg will\n hatch!

#org $6
$6 1 =Egg? Lol

Summary:
Would you like egg? Yes/No
Yes -> You receive an egg, Egg overworld disappears.

The last bit is just for my entertainment << as its not meant to happen but it does, as the overworld just wont disappear.

The command works to some extent as the sprite momentarily disappears, however any movement brings it back. I heard setting a flag after stops this but it doesn't seem to work... any help? :)

To make the egg dissapear you do have to set a flag,but you have to give the overworld a person id.For example,egg has person id 0311,in the script you would set flag 0x311,but be sure to add a movement that makes it dissapear too.
