    Sorry, I just found that I made an extremely silly mistake so the script didn't work. Now the problem was solved.
    Thank you for your help and Sorry for wasting your time.:(

    Hello, everyone! Can anyone tell me how to make a 'nickname your Pokemon' script?
    Click to expand...

    simply call 0x1A74EB (for fire red) 0x2723DD (for Emerald)
    after a yes no box to nickname the last pokemon you were given.

    Nicknaming is quite easy to do in FireRed and can be done with as little as one/ two specials depending on the situation you're in. The main special you would use is special 0x9E, which opens the nickname screen for your party Pokemon, based on the value of variable 0x8004 (0x0 for your first Pokemon, 0x1 for your second etc). This works in tandem with special 0x9F which allows you to choose a Pokemon in your party and then places its position value in 0x8004. You won't need special 0x9F and can set 0x8004 manually if you know the exact position of the Pokemon in the player's party that you want to change, though this is generally only reserved for when they receive their starter Pokemon. There are other auxiliary specials that can be used but aren't necessary for the script to run properly. You can read about them in the following script or this this thread.

    Here's a quick rough example of a nicknaming script in action for FireRed:

    Spoiler:


    Don't forget to read the original script in an unmodified ROM and try to follow what its doing so you can learn how it works and how to make your own.

    Yes, you can simply set the var #0x8004 to any value between 0 and 5, representing the Pokémon slot in your party.

    If you want a script to run whenever you enter a map, you don't use script tiles. You use level scripts.

    Basically level scripts run either before/when you enter a map, and you can specify conditions. Cooley has a level script tutorial, so go ahead and check it out.

    I did do that. I actually found that tutorial and put the var number where the flag number is supposed to be, hit CTRL+H to go into advanced map viewer, took the map offset, decompiled it and changed the 0xFFFF to 0x0. When I enter the refurbished lab the game then just goes into an infinite pause. I posted the script to see if there are any issues with the script that I need to change, or if it's because of the var or offset I used.

    • Just posting as a reminder that script-related questions belong in this thread, the Script Help Thread, and not in the Quick Q&A Thread. Also, you should always wrap scripts - particularly ones of that length - in [SPOILER][/SPOILER] tags, to make browsing the forum better. I've taken care of it now, but please just bear that in mind in the future. Thanks :D

    As for why your script is not working, it most likely because of the variable you are using, 0x4016, being temporary. Instead, try and use variables above 0x4030 in general, although I tested with 0x4026 and it worked fine. You may also want to add a checksound command after each of the sound commands.

    You can use the additem command instead I believe. :) I hope that's a command and I'm not making it up.

    "Additem" is another command that simply stashes an item into the bag. It's useful if you want different messages to play instead of the normal ones or if you want it completely silent.

    • I need help regarding JPAN Hacked Engine timer specials. Here's my script:

    Spoiler:



    So this is just a test script that starts a timer (special 0x46). Then, I used special2 0x8010 0x4a to read the timer then compare it to 0xA (10 seconds). What the problem is it always compares higher than 0xA, so it will call @bad even i talked with the npc again in less than 10 sec.

    I used this script to print my timer readings:

    Spoiler:


    For some reason, it's always reads 268 and it does not change as time goes by. :(

    PLEASE HELP AND THANKS!

    I've encountered a strange problem in my Firered Hack. When I get my starter from Prof. Oak, he says "this pokémon is really quite energetic." and after that, the game freezes. Every time. I've looked at the script - which I never changed - and I think I may have messed up when it comes to variable 0x4031. It's an important var when it comes to the starter selection, and I think I used it somewhere else. I'm trying to look for the event I used it in to change it, but is there anything I can do from here?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Show us the script. The variable isn't special outside the context, so it can still be overwritten without complications. It's quite certain that the problem lies in the script.

    I was in luck. Turned out I had made a backup a few hours before the error happened and so I lost very little progress. I'm continuing from the back up now. :)

    But thanks for your help regardless.

    I'm hacking pokemon emerald and I made an event where a team aqua member blocks your path.
    you battle him, he runs away and you can get trough, but I have a problem.
    After the battle, he runs away like he's supposed to, his sprite also dissapears, but whenever you re-enter the map, the aqua member is on the path again...

    Aqua member script: note: the person event ID was set to 1 (0001)
    Spoiler:


    Map script Script type: 03 (On entering map/on menu close)
    Spoiler:


    I'm trying to find out why the sprite doesn't want to be hidden when you enter the map for hours now...
