Open up the trainer in a-trainer and make the AI value 0 (in pokémon data, make sure all pokémon have 0 AI data. This will make them use no strategy and just send them out one after the other)

Great! Thank you very much! :)

This has to do with scripting in a way so I'm guessing it goes here and if it doesn't don't hate cuz everone makes mistakes.
OK the question that keeps me from scripting.
When you have a script tile placed what do you put in for the:
Unkown
Var Number
Var Value
Unkown (that has two boxes)
and do they change for each map or something? Please go in detail because this is what has scared me of scripting.
Yes I have looked for this infromation but I never found it.
Thank you in advanced :)

Unknown is kinda explanatory. It's unknown. Var number is a variable that can be set so it only happens once. (Ex. Professor Oak stops you from going into grass.)
Var Value is the current value of the variable. 1 if it already happened; 0 if not.

And how do you figure out the var numbers? Because I have noticed that in different maps the var numbers are different.

You can use any variable you want, just set it to a value other than the value on the header tab in a script.

So much information that is helpful. Thank you. But ver quickly would the car number need to be in the script somewhere?

The problem is, you put additional commands after a text string. Nothing but text can go in those. After the msgbox @2 0x6, take this entire part:

and paste it in. That should fix it. I didn't thoroughly look for any other possible problems though, but I don't think you wrote anything else incorrectly.

Never mind I just figured it out by looking at the best tutorial so far:
Diego's.
So thank you Diego :)

If that's the starter it's giving, a certain flag has to be set to activate the pokemon menu button first. Try setting flag 828 before the givepokemon command. If my off-the-top-of-my-head guess is wrong, decompile a starter script from a clean ROM and check what flags it uses.

Beginner Scripter

Hey everybody! One simple question.... (It's about scripting.. not the simple question thread)


You know when you press "Compile Script" The Log reads the script, but then the Buf Rit window won't appear (The window with the blue book to choose the ROM)
I can assure you, the script has no mistakes whatsoever.
I am using XSE.

Once I searched how to fix it, one of them said I needed to download the latest version of Buf Rit, is that a real file?
If so, can someone help me find it?
Google is no help when searching BufRit.

BufRit isn't part of the scripting scene anymore.
XSE doesn't need BufRit, that compile screen is the screen that tells you where you put your scripts.
(If you are using the NEWEST XSE, version you should be okay.)
Be sure you are scripting in eXtreme Script, instead of PokeScript or ScriptEd. (eXtreme Script is the name I've given XSE's Scripting language.)

To compile the script you right to a ROM, open XSE.
Then, click File --> Open
Open your GBA ROM.

Then, type (Or Copy/Paste) Your script into the XSE Script Box

At this point, I usually check my scripts over for errors by pressing the DEBUG button, if there is an error or revision I want to make, I make it.

Now, press the Compile Button. (The one with 2 Gears next to the Debug Button)

At this point, you should have the Compiler Log open.
The Compiler Log gives you the locations where your scripts were inserted at, as well as a detailed readout on your script(s).

Lets look at the Compiler Log shall we?
(Not posting an image, open up YOUR XSE, and look yourself.)
What you SHOULD see is a window, with 3 boxes in it. (As well as a Copy button)

The big box on top can BASICALLY be ignored as that doesn't seem to be your problem.
The 2^nd box holds offset's "Dynamic Labels" and 3^rd box holds the Compiled Scrip's Locations.

Now, find out which offset you need, by looking at your script.
(Most XSE scripters start their script with a big ol' :
#org @start )
If YOU did, that is PROBABLY what you want to select in the compiler log.

Now, click it in the log, and press the copy button.

NOW, open up A-Map, and find what you want to place the script on.
It goes in the box called "Script Offset" in A-Map

My little problem

I've got into doing scripting and im doing quite well but i just want to seek someones advice.

Im using the pokemon fire red rom and im trying to do a script simular to when oak comes to the player when trying to leave pallet town with no pokemon. what im trying to do is when i stand on a script block i want a person to be seen and walk over to me. how ever i want him to be hidden like prof oak is before the script is activated ive tried to put the sprite as hidden in advancedmaps and when scripting use showsprite command but it just runs the script with the script hidden.

can anyone help

thanks
jon

Rom:Leafgreen
Event: Get Starter Pokemon
please help! I want to edit it so you don't have to try and go to route 1 for prof oak to give you a pokemon
does anyone know a script that can just put him in his lab at the first place?

So, I'm hacking Ruby atm.
Is there any way to change where the character appears after coming out of the truck (in the beginning of the game)? And if so, how? Because I can't seem to find the script.

Click to expand...

That's not scripting. You just need advancemap.
Find "Inside of Truck" on the list and edit the warps.

Alright, what's wrong with this one now?


It freezes right after: Wait, [PLAYER]!
To be more specific if freezes after the person walks to me.
