Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[Satoshi Ookami]

hey everyone. I'm sorry to bother you, but I've looked at at ALL scripting tutorials and scripting just DOESN'T work for me. ex. when i use pokescript and open my rom the character is there but when i talk to it it just goes beep and nothing happens. This has been a frequent problem and stops me from scripting although i love to hack Roms. I have used XSE and a basic script ( like "hi" ) takes me to the celadon game center to choose a prize.
Hacking Fire Red
Vista ( if thats important )
tried poket script
tried eXtreme Script Editor
even tried advance text.
so if you know the answer and don't mind posting, Please Help:)

Here's your answer =D Never use pokescript, always use XSE ;)
If you try with XSE you'll surely get a hold of scripting in no time =)
So try it again and it'll surely work =)

Um, what is a level script?

Um, what is a level script?

A level script is basically a script that activates when the player enters a particular map/level of an area. This thread should help you out if the term is new to you.

Open up XSE, and press the F2 Key, a guide to XSE and basic scripting is included with the program.
Read it from beginning to end, it might be a bit of a long read, but once you read it, and master that guide, you'll have all of the knowledge needed to get you started scripting, from there you can read more advanced scripting guides on here, and really make some hard core scripts.

Happy hacking!

Yeah, thanks a bunch. :D This thread is good.

I made a script for one of the hacks I'm working on, and I keep getting this annoying error saying: Unknow Keyword "" at line 13.

Here's the script, and I hope someone can help me.

Wow... I can't believe what I'm seeing o.O
Dude, you really need to fix your style of writing scripts o.O
You see... it's better if you write syntax like this:

Commands
__________________
Movements
__________________
Texts

That way it'd be better for us to find errors.

 

[Olli]

I know, but this is the way I've always done it.
Anyways, I fixed the bug.

 

[Alomar]

this is probably going to make me feel stupid for asking, but how do I play straight up sound effects in XSE? the command for it lol.. i want my ! box's to make the sound effect also.

 

[DrFuji]

Use the 'sound' command followed by which sound effect you want to use. The pop-up for the exclamation box is 0x15. This post documents a few of the sounds in-game and their corresponding numbers.

Hey, is there any way to change an attack's animation?

~BLAZE

Yes, you can do that through playing with UnLZ.

 

[M.L]

Hey, is there any way to change an attack's animation?

~BLAZE

lol jap Unzl has the moves pics in it if you find it i think if you go a bt further than the trainers they are there but if you mess around with it you will figure it out btw it may seem diffrent when you try it

 

[ares10]

hey can some one help me with my script im not sure what i did wrong
I use Pokescript
I f you talk to this person he gives you a pokemon then when you talk to him again he asks you in a yes or no question if you like dragon pokemon.

#org $script

[Olli]

It's hard to help you when I'm using XSE and I don't know what's wrong.
So can you please tell me what it is that's not working, and then I might be able to help.

 

[ares10]

well when you try to talk to him he doesn't do any thing just continues to look around. Im not sure whats wrong.

 

[Olli]

Well I'm not sure then.
I think things would prove easier later on if you tried XSE.
Not that many people use Pokescript anymore, so it'll just be harder in the future.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

hey can some one help me with my script im not sure what i did wrong

I think I can! =)

I use Pokescript

This is your answer =)

Now without sarcasm, learn how to use XSE =)

ohk so the way im reading it is because its going straight to the top one every time as there is nothing redirecting it to the bottom script
i think this may work i will show you with your script

Spoiler:

#org $script

faceplayer
setflag 0x1200

end

#org $yes
message $yes1
$yes1 1 = You do? That's great!
boxset 6
release
end

so i think this should work i switched the flags around and added a if b true line so once the script comes to the checkflag it will go straight to the next script as the flag has been set go try it out f their are any errors ask me but flags help alot you could even do it in two diffrent scripts example he gives you the first poke then you go speak to someone and the say that guy has a dragon for you and you set the flag then when you go ack to him the next script activates lol

You forgot the "if" command that will check the flag you have set.
Here's a fix...

Your suggested script will only give the player a pokemon each time the NPC is talked to...
