    My main problem is on move2 move3 and move 4.
    Move2 Work's perfectly, but the other two don't move at all, also the waitmovement command won't work, and it just goes straight to the text.
    Also, I'm trying to make all three movements happen at the same time.

    Yep, I believe the command comparefarbytetobyte is what you would need. :P

    Try reading HackMew's first ASM tutorial in the Documents and Tutorials section. If you adapt his code, you should be able to obtain the current playing time down to the millisecond.

    For future reference, this question would be better asked in the Simple Questions Thread.

    It can, didn't you see my post that replied to yours on the other page?

    Anyway, I'll repeat it. You can use the scripting commmand: comparefarbytetobyte.

    That actually sounds quite interesting. How would you go about using that?
    Click to expand...

    Comparefarbytetobyte compares a byte at a certain ram address with a certain value, It's useful for seeing how much time has passed or even for seeing what the player's gender is.

    It's layout is this:

    comparefarbytetobyte 0xpointer to ram address with byte value to compare with. 0xbyte to compare with.

    In FR, the location for the playtime is at 0x20245C6 in the RAM. The first two bytes you'll find there are the hours of playtime, second byte minutes, then seconds and last, but not least, the milliseconds.
    In R/S, the offset is 0x2024EB2, and in Emerald 0x2024A96. And indeed, you can check them with comparefarbytetobyte. To check for at least an hour of playtime, you would use:
    Code: 
    comparefarbytetobyte 0x20245C6 0x1
if 0x4 goto @script
    (Obviously, that's for FR/LG. In R/S/E, only the offset changes. The rest remains the same.)

    Actually, this is not the case. The play time data, along with most of the other player data, actually moves around due to DMA (Direct Memory Access). The offset of the data is determined by a pointer at 0x300500C (which is in the IRAM, in case you're wondering.
    You'll have to use ASM to access it. Read HackMew's Knowledge, ASM Tutorial 1, which explains how to access the player data.

    I edited the map for Cinnabar Island (img21.imageshack.us/img21/1884/cinnabarisland.png), and now the script to keep you out of the Gym until you have the Secret Key doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    You'll need to move the script tile to in front of Cinnibar Island's gym.

    • I have a script problem(duh)
    the player is in a tight hallway and professor oke is one tile above you. I want him to follow you left and right so I wrote a script.
    My first attempt used flags, and it worked on paper but no in game.
    I then tried a referent way of doing things. I tried comparing the players facing so if he is facing left oke will move left, and if he faces right oke will move right. But When I play the game no matter what I do oke only moves left

    • Game: Pokémon Rose Version (Fire Red Hack)

    Type: A Trigger Script (you walk over a green script tile)

    Editor: I'm using PokeScript to put the script into the game, and I'm using XSE to view the script.

    Script:

    What I wrote and compiled with PokeScript:

    Spoiler:


    The script, as seen in XSE:

    Spoiler:


    Here's what happens:

    Spoiler:


    I previously edited the script and had this in XSE:

    Spoiler:


    With this result in-game:

    Spoiler:


    So, in short, XSE shows that the messages I want to have in this dialogue do in fact appear, and the movements for the player do, in fact, appear--it's the part right after setting variable 0x4001 that is messing up.

    What this script is SUPPOSED to do is:

    1. Stop the player and set the appropriate variable for the movement part of the script.
    2. First message from the mother
    3. Movement towards the mother
    4. Another message
    5. Followed by another message
    6. Oak question (Yes: go to 9, No: go to 7)
    7. Elm question (Yes: go to 10, No: go to 8)
    8. Birch question (Yes: go to 11, No: go to 5)
    9: Another message from the mom, and a variable is set (go to 12)
    10: Another message from the mom, and a variable is set (go to 12)
    11: Another message from the mom, and a variable is set (go to 12)
    12: A final message by the mom, a variable is set to prevent this script from occurring again, and the script ends.

    ...which is why you should use XSE to write and compile scripts.

    First of all, remove the getplayerpos, it's not necessary. Also replace the compare PLAYERFACING 0x3 and 0x4 with PLAYERFACING FACE_LEFT and FACE_RIGHT.
