You need to modify the sprite for both the surfing player and the Wailmer blob. They're separate sprites, so make the Lapras and the (I presume?) Ash Ketchum separately, and insert them (indexed to 16 colours in IrfanView) using NSE 1.x.

I think there is some other way to do this because there is no over world script available in ROM like this in ash gray ROM but in that ash can surf using lapras.hope you reply

Whether you're surfing when you enter a map depends on what height level you were on when you warped. It has nothing to do with level scripts.

Also, I think it's worth noting that Lapras and Ash likely use the same palette, so as to allow for that façade overlap of their sprites. It's a bit complicated to replicate that.

Hello everyone! (I'm new here btw :P)
I'm trying to make a script for a new guy in Birch's lab (emerald). I'm a beginner at scripting, and it isn't really working :pink_pissed:
The idea is that he will give you an item after you have received your starter form Birch.
He has to say 3 different things: when you speak to him before getting your starter, when you have your starter and get the item, and when you talk to him after getting the item.
However; he is "stuck" at saying the first line of text and doesn't give you the item. I think I might not be using the right flag for receiving the starter; I've found many flag lists for fire red but not really for emerald. It could also be something else though, since I'm not good at scripting at all yet lol.
The script I made is in an attachment, since I can't place links yet.

I don't hack Emerald, but I think this part...

checkflag 0x4084
if 0x2 goto @getitem

...should have been...

compare 0x4084 0x2
if 0x1 goto @getitem

Thanks for answering. Compare sounds better ^^
However, it's still not working. The 0x4084 probably isn't correct or something. I guess I'll have to find out which one is now...

 

[destinedjagold]

Thanks for answering. Compare sounds better ^^
However, it's still not working. It probably has to be another flag. I guess I'll have to find out which one now...

Well, I suggested it to be "compare" instead of "checkflag" is because 0x4084 is too high of a hex value to be a flag, so I thought it was a variable. checkflag is only used for flags while compare is used for variables.

edit:
So I opened an Emerald ROM with A-Map and maybe you can use this flag to check if you've already gotten your starter.

0x860

You're right, it wasn't a flag xD
I saw it in a threat called "Pokemon Emerald Flags List" and I just copied it without thinking/looking properly. Didn't notice that the person typed "Emerald Vars so far" above his list, whoops.
It works with 0x860, thanks

Hi there, quick question!
Is there any way to make a script continue after a trainer battle is lost in a ruby/emerald rom?

The first rival battle works like this, check out that script (route 102? I think)

There are a couple standard trainerbattles like "trainerbattle 0x3 0x214 0x0 0x816D65B" but it doesn't show any specials/callasm or anything strange.

[destinedjagold]

Hi there, quick question!
Is there any way to make a script continue after a trainer battle is lost in a ruby/emerald rom?

afaik, only FireRed/LeafGreen has that kind of trainerbattle.

That's what I feared. What about some kind of routine? Would it do the job?

You need to make sure to have a var on the tile and a setvar/addvar in your script.
HERE is a page with a list of available vars(irc) and how to setup your tile.

Is it the 19th map? If so you need to use the hex, 0x13.
