    I am attempting to make a script that makes Oak give you the national dex after you fight your rival before you leave his lab. I have the movement working that brings you front and center to Oak but nothing continues after that. Thanks for any help.

    I'm not well versed in pksv (at least, I think that is) but where you compare the variable 4002, is the jumpcommand after that the one that allows you to return to your previous script? Like in xse, there is "call" and "goto". "Goto" means to go to the next part while "call" means to to the next part but you can return back to the original script at the spot you called it. Did you use the correct command that lets you use return with it?

    When editing a very long script in a game, would it be viable to add any stuff that you want to implement and leave the rest as is? For example, I would like to have Wallace's dialogue and team change in Emerald after the first Hall of Fame; (similar to the newer games) however, it turns out that the script for the champ battle is over 300 lines long and would take ages to replicate, unlike the E4 scripts. Here's the dump from the ROM
    Spoiler:

    My plan is to insert a check for 0x87F (the HoF flag), redirect to the new "before battle" msgbox and team, then go back to the regular script events. Everything else will be kept untouched. Of course, dynamic and freespace will be put on top to prevent overwriting or corrupting anything. And as usual, help is greatly appreciated!

    If you repoint the part of the script that you wanted to change to a free space and left everything else untouched, I'd imagine there'd be no problem.

    I would give a ton of cookies to whoever can help me with this issue. The script goes perfectly fine until the @later part of the script. During this part of the script it duplicates the antagonist and also makes the camera follow around the professor when it should be following around the player. I have some gifs to display some examples of my problems.

    https://gyazo.com/eb2538779844e0b8ddd25715baafa5b1 (Control switched to professor)

    Here is the script.

    One possibility why some of this happening is that one or more of the NPCs on that map uses the bugged 'look down' movement, aka this (in red Arrow):

    I am attempting to add another rival battle script when you enter pewter city. The battle works but the sprite does not move nor disappear at the end. Do I need to have a variable set to make the sprite disappear and stay gone?

    A few things.

    First, you don't have to set put #dyn 0x740000 every line. You can just put it once at the top.

    Second, what are you using to write this script?

    In addition keep in mind that the numbers in advance map for person ID and such are in decimal, not hex. Your person ID being 12 means you should applymovement 0xC. That could be the issue.
    Click to expand...

    Just to clarify, it's the "Person event number" which controls movement, the "Person ID" controls visibility. It might also be worth checking if other events don't share the same Person event number, too, as sometimes A-Map does that if you delete a person event, as the Person event numbers don't auto-adjust.

    I'm trying to script a battle encounter with your rival in route one of a firered ROM. The start of the script works fine, then you battle the rival and instead of continuing the script just stops. If you walk away and step back on the tile it activates the lines before the battle again, he makes the same movements as he did for movement list 1 instead of movement list 3 like he should and then continues with the end of what he's supposed to say and then still doesn't do the third movements but does dissapear like he's supposed to. I'm working in xse and have literally spent two hours trying to figure out where the bug in.the script Is but can't figure it out.

    Ok so there's multiple things wrong with this script. First; why are you using such a low offset to assemble your script in? Second, your flag is unsafe. Check this document on flags to get a safe flag. If you read through that whole thing you'll also see why the script keeps on happening if you step on that tile again. As for the script continuing after you've battled, you need to use trainerbattle 0x1, which has three text pointers rather than two. The final one is the text for after. Now, your final movements in that script are out of order. You need to apply the movement first, then waitmovement so he finishes walking, THEN hide the sprite. Otherwise he'll just vanish as soon as you're done talking.

    • I've been experimenting with daily encounters in Emerald, trying to script a Lapras overworld that re-spawns daily. According to Phenom2122's flag document, the unused flags from 0x900 onward are probably dailyflags. The problem is that I can't figure out how to make the Lapras re-spawn after the day has passed.
    Spoiler:
    As you can see, it sets 0x9C0 after the battle. (which, based on the flags around it, might be a dailyflag) I don't know what approach to take after checkdailyflags. Does a showsprite command have to be incorporated into the script or something?

    Lapras should respawn after the day is out if 0x9C0 truely is reset after the day. Since the invisible flag is also 0x9C0, when it is cleared after the day, it won't be keeping Lapras invisible.

    • I'm trying to give the player the running shoes once they step on a tile. The tile has a script event placed on it in advanced map, and the offsets are definitely correct. However, when I step on any of the tiles, the player is locked in place. Help?

    Apply these values on your script tile.

    I can imagine that it uses a command 0xf6 to do some important things, but I don't know what does it do.

    Thank you very much ^ -^) If you don't mind explaining to me, why did changing the "Unknown" and Var numbers fix the freezing issue?
    Click to expand...

    The unknown number actually does nothing, you can just leave it as 0000 if you wish, but the script tile needs a var to function. Usually you'd put the var you're using there to stop the script from repeating but it isn't necessary when you're using a flag, so instead you can just use an unused var.
