Research: Interesting TrainerBattle Command

liuyanghejerry · Jan 6, 2010

Well,I'm not sure if this thread is legal.But if this thread is legal,this forum will be one of my favorite forum^^

Most hack time,we use trainerbattle command only as trainerbattle 0x0 and trainerbattle 0x1.

But there's also an interesting trainerbattle,as trainerbattle 0x9,which is used for battle teaching.

It used just like:

Code:

trainerbattle 0x9 0x148 0x3 0x818DDEA 0x818DE1A

from FR US 0x1692F3.

This battle is interesting not only because it teaches you how to battle,but also because if you're defeat,you won't be white out.The battle will finish and you keep the script.While trainerbattle 0x0 and trainerbattle 0x1 won't let you go on your script.

Does anyone interested in this?And how to make a trainerbattle that can also go on when the player is defeat?Or even in a wildbattle?

trainerbattle 0x3 also allows continuation of script execution.

Code:

...
trainerbattle 0x3 0x245 0x0 0x8809DA4
...

Thing is for 0x3 type, only battle defeat text.

Logan · Jan 7, 2010

Hm, ZDG, what script is that executed in?

ZodiacDaGreat · Jan 7, 2010

Hehehe, that's part of a script from my hack XD

trainerbattle is a command that allows you to use with different parameters.

trainerbattle byte byte hword pointer1

trainerbattle byte byte hword pointer1 pointer2

trainerbattle byte byte hword pointer1 pointer2 pointer3

Some subroutines called by the command 0x5C

At least in Fire Red, the maximum that can be used in the first parameter is 10(0x0-0x9).
And each of them calls a different subroutine.

Code:

ive used trainerbattle 0x9 before in my hack. I has two texts, the first is if you beat the trainer they say their defeat text and the second is if you loose they come back onto the battle field and say that text. and after that the script will continue. but unfortunitly if you loose it wont continue :(

Is this can keep running your script and not white out?
I'll try while my computer get update...(It's broken...and I'm using my father's...)

This is a HUGE routine,and seems much more difficult than item running.I just saw your item subject.I'm also interesting in item running.So I decide to research items first^^And research trainerbattle commands later(If I can...)

so are the 3 dots in the begginging and end required?

Also for the script

trainerbattle 0x3 0xXXX 0x9 @intro @defeat

is it possible to change what the person says?

I.E oak usually says:

Pushy as always, you haven't been in a trainer battle have you?

^I expect it would require some ASM though :/

Tropical Sunlight · Jan 21, 2010

So, what happens in the person defeats you? Your Pokemon get healthy again or what?

I don't believe so, all that happens is the script continues BUT it will gliche up UNLESS you have a special 0x0 command in there. I.E lets say rival beats you...then the game will crash. Atleast thats what happened to me :/

chatsalot7777 · Mar 7, 2010

I believe trainerbattle 0x3 is for the elite four.
Can someone explain how the other commands work?

Shiny Quagsire · Mar 7, 2010

I think this might be useful in some hacks. I've always wondered how that worked, but I never really checked it out.

Prof. Briar · Mar 11, 2010

I don't know if anyone else has thought of this, but could this be used in conjunction with the Safari system somehow; so that when you have no pokemon to fight with you can use stones, bait, and balls to handle wild pokemon? Maybe you could do something with trainers where some of them you don't have to battle, but others will block your path or drive you off unless you can/do battle them. That might be neat, and would solve the whole problem I've always had of "Gah! Not another psycho battle-maniac!" Plus, it might mean you could do a hack where you actually go out and catch your first pokemon, instead of being handed it...sorry, maybe I'm getting carried away. Still, I think some neat things could be done by changing the way defeat is handled.

NarutoActor · Mar 11, 2010

you could always use checkflags so that way some trainers battle you and some don't.

trebornosliw · Jun 3, 2012

Well, it says no revival limit so I'll leave a note here in case anyone comes looking.

^I expect it would require some ASM though :/

First, I assume you mean this:
trainerbattle 0x9 0xXXX 0x3 @victory @defeat
1. trainerbattle 0x3 is followed by only one text pointer and I have no idea what that 0x9 would do in the command you wrote.
2. the first text pointer in trainerbattle 0x9 shows if you win the battle, not at the battle's start (thus, not intro).

Second, I imagine you could go in and hex edit the text... it has to be stored somewhere. There's a tutorial about hex editing text somewhere on this forum (now I'm interested... I'm going to have to look this up).

Tropical Sunlight said:

I've been testing, and your Pokemon will automatically be healed if you lose in trainerbattle 0x9 0x??? 0x3, but will not be healed if you win (you have to add the special 0x0). Now, if you lose a trainerbattle 0x9 0x??? 0x0 you are just sent to the last Pokemon center.
I'm trying to find some way to have a battle without Oak's dialogue where the trainer's Pokemon are still healed after a loss. Is there a list of the effects of that third variable anywhere (the one that's set as 0x3 for the Oak dialogue)?

You can edit the text using A-text.

And found something I'm using this script in my hack and used it further but it seems if you have more than 1 Pokemon the Game Freezes or Crashes.

After your first Pokemon is defeated you'll select your next Pokemon and no Sprite will appear and it will crash when the 2nd Pokemon Loses.
