I'm not too sure what to do here, I'm afraid. Have you checked to make sure it's not the battle script itself or something like that?

Hi! Sorry I took so long!

What exactly is the routine supposed to do? (In other words, where are you hooking from?)

I checked Mr. Doll Steak's routine for Snow Warning that I had. It said this:


ldr r0, .SnowWarningBS /*909AD0 in MrDS*/
bl PlayScript
ldr r0, .RAMOffset
mov r1, r10
strb r1, [r0, #0x17]
bl OtherBL

EndScript:
ldr r4, .EndScriptBL
bx r4

PlayScript:
ldr r2, .PlayScriptBL
bx r2

OtherBL:
ldr r0, .OtherBL
bx r0

.align 2
.SnowWarningBS: .word 0x08190584
.RAMOffset: .word 0x02023FC4
.EndScriptBL: .word 0x0801BBAB
.PlayScriptBL: .word 0x0801BC25
.OtherBL: .word 0x0801BB5B


But ChaCha Dinosaur's Flame Orb routine sets it up like this:

ldr r0, =0x02023D6E
mov r2, #0x0
strb r2, [r0]
ldr r0, =0x08EEEEEE
ldr r2, =0x08018C05
bx r2

Exit:
ldr r2, =0x08018C13
bx r2

I tried looking this up too and the best I got was a thread conversation that went like this:

A: How do you call a Battle Script from a routine?
B: You use the Battle Script loader like OMG DUH
A: Okay how do you do that?
B: *crickets*

So yeah, it wasn't very helpful.

Hi

I would assume it's mostly in the damage calculation, yes (calculatedamage isn't an actual command, it's shorthand in BSP for several of the damage calculation commands), but I've also seen it in datahpupdate and graphicalhpupdate. I recommend patching a game with the Physical/Special split patch and see what bytes it modifies.

There isn't one, unfortunately. If you want to change the physicality of a move, you'll need to hook a ton of routines in.

Go ahead and make a new thread for it : )
