    Hello, I have just recently started rom hacking and i'm new to scripting and advance map and all that good stuff. Naturally, i'd find some tutorials on how to make my people say different things and I found Diego's tutorial for a basic message saying hello.



    However, when I put this exact code into XSE and use the free space offset for my person, my rom either freezes or does nothing when I talk to them. Why is this? Do I need to have a specific amount of free bytes in my offset? Is there something special I need to do with my coding? I'm not trying something super advanced here I just want my person to say hello. I've tried many other tutorials as well and haven't had any luck. Help would be appreciated as I don't know where else to turn to. :/

    Your "#dynamic 0x (FSF Offset)" command can just be 0x800000 for all of your scripts. You don't need to put in any other offset.

    Also, did you compile your script and insert it into the game?
    Click Tools --> Batch Compiler --> Checkmark your script that you want to insert --> Click Compile --> Click the copy button. (That will copy the offset that XSE gives you.

    Next, go into A-Map. Go to the person event that you want to give the script to. To the right, there should be a bunch of boxes. Near the bottom, there should be a box called "Script Offset". Get rid of the $000000 and change it to the offset that XSE gave you. (The one that you copied) Save it. Then check in game.

    • Just wondering what is wrong with the following:
    Spoiler:


    I got it right the first time, this is the second script.
    SetVar = 5051
    Person ID = 1245
    Person Event Number = 10

    I'm not sure whether I've got the Hex/Dec mixed up but basically what happens is when the player walks on the Script tile, it activates but instead of the OW walking upto the player then opening up with the speech, it just opens the speech and battles without any Sprite walking on screen.

    Also, I'm not sure whether the Setvar should stay the same considering the last Setvar was 5050, it's been a while since I've done this.

    • I tried to make a wild battle script in XSE, and it half-worked. There was no battle. Instead, the cry was made, and it left. Makes it sound like a roaming Pokémon.

    Does the OW Sprite start off screen? If so, then you need to have the OW exactly one tile away from being able to be seen by the player. Also, you might need a "showsprite 0x0A" command before the "applymovement 0x0A @move" command.

    I'm not sure why you have the additional 0x0 0x0 0x0 at the end of the "wildbattle" command, but they are not needed. Try getting rid of them and see if that works. Also, if the Pokemon is not holding an item, you don't need the first 0x0 either. Just "wildbattle 0x90 0x1E".

    I tried doing that; it said I was missing #define or #parameter on line 8. Also, I'm doing this for Pokémon Emerald Version.

    You did help me get the message box to appear, but the hiker uses text belonging to someone else instead of the text I assigned to him. He says "I tripped over a rocky pokemon geodude" Instead of what I wanted him to say "Hey! No barging in my house!" I followed all your steps and I made sure I put in the offset XSE gave me the 2nd time.

    Complier Output

    Did you delete any of the original events that were already in the game?

    No, I've been good about moving the npcs I don't need out of bounds. Just to make sure, I even got an original firered rom untouched and I didn't do anything except add 1 person and followed the steps you told me to do before again. The person still doesn't say anything. I've pretty much lost hope in scripting since my anti-virus software got rid of XSE for having a trojan. Thanks for trying to help me at least :/

    What's specifically this "end" of the script?
    Anyway, I haven't been keeping an eye an FR's scripting system that much but as far as I remember, when executing trainerbattle, these "@before, @after, @further" are pointers used when looking for text data to show.

    I couldn't find @before & @after at all so perhaps those work but @further points to script data instead. Currently, the game looks for text to display but instead, you're trying to use a message -code. Basically, it tries to display text through that script data in @further.

    That did not work. It said the same message. Missing #define or parameter.

    It's for Pokémon Emerald, if you were wondering. I'm also using XSE 1.1.1.

    By what exactly? This is a clean FR ROM where I have only used Flags 1200+
    Click to expand...
    Depends on what flag no. 828 stands for in the original rom file. For example, the flag of old man, in Viridian City who teaches you how to catch a pokemon, is originally set (1) when the "game starts" (or you'll arrive at your house and can move) and is cleared (0) at the event when Pokedex is gotten.
    *Of course it could have been programmed otherwise but I think this is how Gamefreak wants to do the stuff

    So I'd assume flag 828 is set during the intro sequence (along with some other flags).
