Sierra's MEGA-HUGE XSE Scripting Tutorial

[AustinWolff]

Did you make sure that flag 0x405 is not set before stepping on the tile? Because if it's set, the script won't activate.

thanks but I found the problem. I was setting the var number/value to *0405* when it SHOULD HAVE BEEN *4050* now it works perfectly and I am quickly advancing in scripting.

At the OP:

For the Hex Codes for Characters table, Ææ is actually Œœ. Just thought I'd tell you.

 

[JonathonPetruk]

are you able to take a pokemon out of your party with a script? like your give pokemon script, but in reverse :P pretty much at the beginning i want to be lent a pokemon to save the professer then he rewards you with a pokemon and you give the other one back xD

"Release" Specific Pokémon from Party Script by metapod23

Taking Pokémon away by HackMew

Might help you. You can build your script from there.

\h is used with hex values. Here's an example:
Quote:
Here's \hB7100!
That \hB7 is the currency sign of the Pokemon world.
So in this example, I'm going to use "$":

Here's $100!

i so did not understand can anyone help

(Make it a spoiler...)

So, in XSE, when you put in \hXX, it translates that directly into hex.

So, for example, when you put "w" in XSE, it actually inputs "EB" into the file.

But when you put "\hEB", it actually puts "EB" into the file.

So using that, you can put in all the weird symbols (like Æ, or ô) into the game without using a Unicode input table to find them first.

The problem is that you can't mix data types. Strings can only contain strings, and scripts can only contain scripts.

Changes in red.

Your 'story' pointer wasn't text for a message box like @1, @2 or @3, but a continuation of the script so I merged it with the first part. The lock and faceplayer commands aren't necessary if you use the 0x2 type message box as the NPC you are talking to will automatically turn towards you and lock their movements when they start to talk. It is also better to begin your free space search from an offset which is known to have plenty of space beyond it - In FR's case people generally start from 0x800000.

You have a lot of misplaced pointers and have input some incorrect/ unnecessary commands. Below should be a fully functioning script once you change/ delete some of the commands and their values.

Red = I have changed it/ you have to edit it depending on what you want. Blue = Delete it. Messages after '//' are my specific comments on what you should do.

trainerbattle 0x1 0x3BCD58 0x0 @before @after @later // You need to add in an actual trainer number which you can find in Advance Trainer (Numbers range from 0x01 to 0xFF)
// Also, since you're using a 0x1 type trainerbattle (Script continues once the battle is over) you need to add another pointer after the @before and @after pointers

Try not to rush while making scripts and make sure that you study the structure of scripts already in the game. Alot of the mistakes in your script were quite simple and could be dealt with easily if you slowed down and took the time to comb through it :)
