Sierra's MEGA-HUGE XSE Scripting Tutorial

You might want to add how to trade onto this guide. I've looked everywhere and found it on the XSE tutorial on the program, lol... x3

Hey, thanks for the guide! I'm pretty much a rookie hacker, and this has been a huge help!

Here's a quick question:
I'm trying to make a givepokemon script. When I run it in-game, everything works perfectly...except for the nicknaming part. For some reason, when it gets to the part where I should be nicknaming the pokemon that was given, it makes me nickname the first pokemon in my party. Any ideas about why this may be happening?

Hello. I've been having troubles with yet another script that's confusing me quite a bit.

The script I'm trying to make has a man step forward twice, inform the player that they can't leave without a pokemon, have the player step to the right twice to where the pokeball is, have them take it, and leave without the man stopping them. Of course, there's a 'bit' more to it when you read the actual scripts, but that's the gist of it all. If anyone can help, again, I'd greatly appriecate it.

The Movement Script:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
checkflag 0x1000
if 0x1 goto @done
if 0x0 goto @movement
release
end

#org @movement
msgbox @hey 0x2
applymovement 0x00 @move
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0xFF @move2
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @take 0x2
applymovement 0x00 @move3
waitmovement 0x0
setflag 0x1001
release
end

#org @done
release
end

#org @move
#raw 0x1E
#raw 0x1E

#org @move2
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13

#org @move3
#raw 0x13

#org @hey
= Hey, you can't leave\nwithout having something\lto protect you!

#org @take
= Take my EEVEE. Raise it\nwell, and let it evolve\linto whatever you wish it\lto become!

The Man's Script:

#dynamic 0x800010

#org @start
checkflag 0x1002
if 0x1 goto @good
if 0x0 goto @omg
release
end

#org @good
msgbox @leave 0x2
applymovement 0x00 @move
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @goodluck 0x2
release
end

#org @omg
msgbox @takeit 0x2
release
end

#org @move
#raw 0x14
#raw 0x0C

#org @leave
= Okay, you may leave.

#org @goodluck
= Goodluck out there!

#org @takeit
= Would you just take it?

The Pokeball's Script:

#dynamic 0x800020

#org @start
checkflag 0x1001
if 0x1 goto @take
if 0x0 goto @done
release
end

#org @take
givepokemon 0x133 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @received 0x4
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
fadescreen 0x1
fadescreen 0x0
hidesprite 0x800F
setflag 0x1000
setflag 0x1002
release
end

#org @done
release
end

#org @received
= You received EEVEE!

If you see any problems with other parts of what's going on, I'd appreciate it if that was mentioned as well. :)

wheres

I think you should make your own level scripting sutorial and add it here. Because
Cooleys was hard to understand for me. (Still learned it :P)

nemesish · Feb 5, 2009

Kinda curious.
When i did a give pokemon script. it just takes me to the last line "so, how´s my old TORCHIC?"

In first place the NPC NEVER gave a pokemon?
No talking or nothing, it just takes me to the last line

Even i tried copying the one in the tut, but the same results.

btw, in-game i´m oing to getm Oaks parcel, so I don´t have a Pokedex. In case you´re wondering if i used that flag

Can you post the script here? And have you already set the Pokemon menu flag? If so, use another flag besides 0x828.

Mourgrim · Feb 5, 2009

I think I see...and that's what I thought was probably going to be the problem. But, with that, I'm slightly confused. The man's number is 00, because he's the only person on the map. Does that mean I should put 01 not 00?

Exactly. You have to use the people number, not the event number.

Mourgrim · Feb 5, 2009

(EDIT)
The problem persists, but I think it may have something to do with the release/end commands. You see, the game freezes, but not the music. (I didn't notice this before because I usually have it muted)

So, are any problems apparent with the way I used release/end etc.?

This is the script that´s giving me problem.
I also tried with the one in your tutorial but the result is the same

Lol. You were using release when you weren't using lock.

Okay, I think I figured it out. Thanks for all your help. lol

1KewlDude · Feb 7, 2009

I have an annoying problem... I made this very long script but it just doesn't work. You just walk right over it, it doesn't freeze or anything. Help!

Spoiler:

Mourgrim · Feb 7, 2009

And here's yet another issue...xD My give pokemon code isn't working correctly. First, the nicknaming: it just keeps asking "Would you like to nickname EEVEE?" over and over until I say no. Also, it's not an eevee. I entered the number for eevee, and yet, it's giving me a Breloom. Also, I put in "hidesprite" so that it'd disappear, but that's not working either. When I step away, it reappears.

Anyway, here's the code:
#dynamic 0x800020

#org @start
checkflag 0x1000
if 0x1 goto @give
msgbox @notyours 0x2
end

#org @give
givepokemon 0x133 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
msgbox @received 0x2
setflag 0x828
msgbox @nickname 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 gosub @name
hidesprite 0x02
end

#org @name
call 0x1A7FEB
end

#org @notyours
= This isn't your POK\h06MON,\nyou shouldn't even be\llooking at it!

#org @received
= You received EEVEE!

#org @nickname
= Would you like to nickname\nEEVEE?

Surf · Feb 7, 2009

Of first of all your hidesprite command isn't working because you need to put 828 in the persons flag no.
Secondly the number for Eevee isn't wht you think it is.
Youu have to confert it into hex

Mourgrim · Feb 7, 2009

I see... I was trying to make it a pokeball that'd disappear, as noticed. lol Thanks for the help.
However, now it's an eevee and not a Breloom and it disappears. But, I still don't have the option to give it a nickname and I can continue to say "yes" over and over. In fact, I don't even have the popup asking for "Yes" or "No" come up. It's either I press "A" or "B". It continues to give me eevees so long as I continue to press "A" and won't stop until I press "B". How would I go about stopping this so it works correctly?

This is a awesome tut, well done !

Activating the pokedex requires a flag. For the national, it's a special. The flag for Pokedex, I think, is 0x829 and the special for national would be 0x1F3. I'm just about positive that all of this is in this tutorial, though.

You're right... only problem is... I think he wants someone to right the script for him... X|
