#org @Talk
= Congratulations! You earned a Bulbasaur!

Goes before the Givepokemon command.

Then:

#org @Talk2
= [PLAYER] received a Bulbasaur!

Goes between the fanfare and waitfanfare :)

Sure!

So you would have this, basically:

Flags are areas of the ROM which store yes/no kind of information - they are either set, or clear.

In scripting you use the commands: setflag 0xFLAG, clearflag 0xFLAG and checkflag 0xFLAG (where flag is a unique number, normally 400-1000).

Some flags have special properties when set, and activate menus, badges, etc.


(For Emerald, Ruby/Sapphire flags see here)

For simplicity imagine that 'setflag' changes the value from 0 -> 1. 'clearflag' changes the value from 1 -> 0.

Here is a script to demonstrate flag use in changing what happens:

Ah that's a problem that crops up a lot, the issue is that 'hidesprite' is only temporary, to make it permanent you need to also set a flag, somewhere in the script (there might be one already), then you use that as the event's "Person ID" in Advancemap.

Script:

...
hidesprite 0x
setflag 0x800
...

Person ID: 800

Hello Zova, congrats on SwiftSign the mentor. Now ask your mentor bout the tiles prob.

Hi Nova! I see you need a hand with scripting, hopefully I can help! Unfortunately I don't use skype, however I am often on VMs/PMs quite often here (GMT timezone).

How much do you know about scripting so far? I can link you to some tutorials to get you started or help you with specific things if you've tried them and gotten stuck :)
