Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[thetripplenine]

I don't know where I got 4 she has the event number 0 Lol... That's probably why it wasn't working...

Ya that's why it wasn't working but the mother moved right after the script ended and she didn't even face the player...

BTW I thought setflag was supposed to give u the running shoes... Cause I wanted her to give the running shoes at the same time xD

.... still don't know what i'm doing...

 

[kj3400]

Her event number can't be zero, especially if she's the only person in the room...it would have to be 1.

ya it can... and she still moved, my problem was that she moved after the script

You're supposed to use your applymovement commands to make her look at the player not faceplayer (in green script tiles). Second, set the flag after the check.
I.e:
Checkflag 0x828
if TRUE jump :end
setflag 0x828
...
... <--- These dots are where your Applymovement and message box goes
...
:end
release
end


EDIT:
The reason she's moving after the message is because you have the applymovement 0x0 @pointer after the message box. LOL.

Ok First of all, i'll be your beta tester xD.

Second of all is there another way to make it so after the script, she gives you the running shoes with a script attached to that?

Here's the script again

I'm not very knowledgeable with XSE, but I think that should work. Remember to enter in the stuff @sometihng and @move_back.

Well it worked but she just didn't give you the running shoes so I compiled a seperate script for the running shoes but thanks anyways :D

Edit:
If you still want a beta tester I am available (sorry if this is annoying you...)

I used the wrong flag for running shoes LOL. It's not 0x828, that's the Pokemon menu. Running shoes is 0x82F. You can just change the flag on that script and it would work.

As for beta tester, I don't need it for playing the game. It's not so much for beta testing, as its for criticizing my ideas. Naturally you'll have a change to play it eventually. If you're still up for it you can PM me :)

 

[karatekid552]

Yeah, I doubt run speed would be effected very much (though it depends on the computer, if you're running it on some 1970 IBM computer it can slow down...maybe :D)


I have a couple questions now:

1) How does the cleartrainerflag command work? Is it just cleartrainerflag 0xTrainerID#?

2) How can I check multiples of variables? I.E Variable 1 is a multiple of 2?

3) Why can't I pass in variables like 0x5000 for paramaters but I can pass in LASTRESULT? Can I pass in all temporary variables?

Answers appreciated :)

1). Yes, however, trainer flags work backworsds of usual flags. To set a flag makes the trainer anble to battle while clearing it prevents them from battling. (it isn't exactly opposite when you get deeper into why, but it's the easiest way to remember)

2). Why? Anyways, there isn't a command, you will need to write an ASM routine.

3). Parameters for what? I have used 0x5000s extensively on regualr compare commads and they work fine. If you are talking about things like chckgender, it is automatic for most of them to use LASTRESULT. The special2 command also can use any variable but it best to use a temp one so you know it will be cleaned later.

If you try this is something like 0x5000 instead of lastresult doesn't work (yes I used copyvar).

TO MAKE THIS WORK RIGHT:

First, make a mother sprite at the door you want her to show up at in AdvanceMap.
Note she should be 1 tiles above the door. Like this:

Set the mother's person ID to 0204 in Advance map. Now create a green script tile in the player's room (make sure he can't avoid it, make two if you have too -- right outside the stairs is perfect. Make those script tiles setflag 0x204 then release end.

EDIT:
This XSE you're using isn't the updated one right? I think you're using an old version (idk though).

It is the random number selected by the random command and stored in var 0x5000.

Looking at it now, you don't have wait fanfare and stuff. Though I can tell you right now, you're doing things that are a little too hard for your level right now. Try to do something simpler and build on it. Master applymovement and flags :)

I would recommend reading every scripting tutorial you can find. I have looked at almost all of them. That and breaking down in game scripts is the best way to learn.
