Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[Zilvereyes]

I'm attempting to use a rudimentary warping script, but when it gets to the warp, it makes the door sound and then leads to the game crashing and going black. What am I doing wrong?

#dynamic 0x0100003E
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x6
msgbox @2 0x5
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 goto @yes
release
end

#org @1
= You open the drawer...\p...\pAnd find a ladder!

#org @2
= Would you like to\nuse it?

#org @yes
msgbox @okay 0x6
fadescreen 0x1 < I've tried it without these
warp 0x0 0x65 0x0 0x0 0x0 < I've tried it with the params "0x0 0x65 0xFF 0x2 0x2" as well, to no avail.
fadescreen 0x0 < Again, tried it without these
release
end

#org @okay
= You step down the ladder...

Could you have switched bank & map ?

When looking in the XSE command help, you'll see that:
Warp 0x"bank" 0x"map" 0x"exit" 0x"x" 0x"y"

My guess is, that you need to do either:
0x65 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
or
0x65 0x0 0xFF 0x0 0x0
since you seem to have tried anything else.

I'm getting the "Too Less Parameters on Line 8. The correct number is 4." - It's been a while since I've done scripting so I wasn't surprised that it was kind of messed up, can anyone help here?

When reading the Trainerbattle XSE command help you should see:
Trainerbattle 0x"type" 0x"battle#toStart" 0x"reserved" 0x"challengeTextPointer" 0x"defeatTextPointer"

So what you need to do is:

trainerbattle 0x3 0x5 0x0 @msg1 @defeat
msgbox @msg2 0x6

the npc doesn't say anything but just warps me...

[Mallowigi]

To my opinion, try to add a lock & release before the warp... Not sure, still new to it.

Question: How can I change the item(s) stored in my computer? I've searched for hours, I am starting to abandon the idea...

You're good at this! It worked :D
Thanks alot Mallowigi.

 

[Smallbirdie]

Woo! I got my basic mindreading script to work! :D It checks if you've got Abra, then allows you to reach the 2nd message.

My question is, how can I ask it to check for Abra (0x3F), Kadabra (0x40) OR Alakazam (0x41)?

I appreciate the help, thank you very much!

Quite simply you add:

...
setvar 0x8004 0x40
special2 LASTRESULT 0x17C
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto 0x8800422
setvar 0x8004 0x41
special2 LASTRESULT 0x17C
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto 0x8800422
...

Beneath your check for Abra (Or put Alakazam at the top so it checks for that, then Kadabra, then Abra.

@SwiftSign-
Thank you so much! Popped that in and it worked like a charm :) I didn't realize you could use the same setvar more than once, I thought it would be WAY more complicated! Thanks again!

You're getting the parameter error because of your trainerbattle type: 0x3 only supports one textbox rather than two so it displays the text that the person says after the battle and neglects the introduction completely. Remove the '@msg1' pointer in the trainerbattle command (since you're saying it beforehand) and it should work perfectly. There is some more information in this thread if you want it.

 

[vanillagfx]

None of the scripts I made are working. Idk what's wrong.
Firered hack. It's supposed to be a sign post.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x720178
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x3
release
end

#org @1
= Blackthorn City Gym.

I then compile it and copy the start one which is "7201D8" and paste it where it needs to go. But the script doesn't work

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Well signpost does not need to have lock, faceplayer and release commands.

 

[vanillagfx]

Well signpost does not need to have lock, faceplayer and release commands.

Err I'm a mess. I took those out just now and it warped me to a black map when it is a signpost. O.o

 

[vladi1q1]

I have a person unit which you can talk to and you get your pokemon but when you talk to him in game:

1st: It displays [player]: Has obtained ????????
2nd: You can spam it and everytime it gives you a greatball instead of saying "The bag is empty."

Code:

'---------------
#org 0x740000

[RetroRoller]

Yeah, I need help again ;) I finally have XSE 1.1 so there should be no movement problems.

Anyway, rather than just locking to the spot like it has happened before... nothing happens. I triple checked all the flags and they're not set, so I have no idea why the script doesn't work. And yes, I have the Var Numbers set to how they should be in A-Map.

Here's the script, sorry it's hard to work out, I didn't want to rewrite it so I decompiled it.

851 is used by the ROM most probably. Use flags in the 1000 area.

Same problem. I used 0x1000 as the flag. I can just walk over it and over it.

You can't see it because the glitched text in't actually present in the script but is a 100% in-game glitch. Did you correctly open the Map Script Offset and edit it like in this tutorial?If you need more help then post with the specifics of your level script (the type of level script you're using, variable, value etc.)

Are you sure you're using XSE 1.1.1? The earlier versions are somewhat glitchy and can't handle simple scripts at times.
