    Assuming this is Fire Red, you must set flag 0x82F somewhere in the script.

    I am a first timer on here so please be patiant with me. I am trying to get a simple message script to work for a pokemon hack of mine. I am using XSE. I wrote out my code, saved it as an rbc file, than went to compile it to my fire red ROM, and it said 'unknown keyword 'lock' on line 4.


    Heres the ode im using


    #dynamic 0x800000

    #org @speak
    lock
    faceplayer
    msgbox @blah 0x6
    release
    end

    #org @blah
    See you later -wink-

    It sounds like you're using XSE version 1.0 which is known to have problems recognising simple commands. Here's a link to XSE 1.1.1 that will be able to compile your scripts correctly.

    Also, your script can be altered to make it shorter yet still do everything you want it to. Use this script (Minus my explanations):

    Code: 
    #dynamic 0x800000

#org @speak
msgbox @blah 0x[COLOR="Red"]2[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]// the 0x2 type msgbox automatically includes the lock and faceplayer commands[/COLOR]
release
end

#org @blah
[COLOR="red"]=[/COLOR] See you later  -wink- [COLOR="red"]// You forgot to include the equals sign which indicates that the following text is what should be said in-game[/COLOR]

    Thanks so much! The code you gave me worked without having to update (though I probably still will lol)

    Ran into another problem....

    The code compiles and it gives me the offsets. I click the player in Advancemap, put in the script offset, and save my changes, but when I loa the rom to test it, the NPC says nothing. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have tried with both offsets given (though im fairly sure you use the one on the top), and I still can't get them to speak.

    Thanks for your time in advance :D

    Once again, that has to do with having an outdated version of XSE :P

    Hi, i've two questions

    1. Using PKSV, i've edited a signpost script inserted a checkflag:

    #dynamic 0x814D7F6
    #org @main
    lockall
    checkflag 0x51
    if true call @text
    releaseall
    end

    #org @text
    msgbox 0x816AE50
    callstd MSG_NOCLOSE ' Non-closing message
    return

    #org 0x816AE50
    = my message

    I've compiled all but when i reopen this script there are only four lines saying:

    #org 0x814D7F6
    '-----------------------------------
    loadpointer 0xF 0x16AE5000
    'Pointer not in ROM area
    jumpstd 0x9

    where is the error?

    2. I wanna lock or open a door depending on a flag. If locked i want to display a message, else hero can enter normally. How can i do this?

    Thanks a lot

    Change trainer sprites in R/B/Y - request

    I am a person, who don't know anything about rom editing.
    I would like to ask you, users, for help.

    What I am interested,
    is a change boy
    Spoiler:
    on a girl sprites.
    Spoiler:

    There are many editing programs, but only Tile Layer Pro and Molester support R/B/Y versions.
    Work in them is too complicated for someone like me, inexperienced.


    Moderators don't want to accept a separate topic, so write it here.

    This question is best asked at the 'Simple Questions' thread.
    This thread is for script help.

    And the mods won't accept a new thread for it because there is already a couple a question threads around for people to ask these questions.

    Question 1) change your #dyn to something inside the ROM, i.e 0x740000

    Question 2) You can do this two ways. A simple setmaptile checking a flag, or a walk_down if the flag isn't set. To so both of these you need the same skeleton as you made in question 1. Instead of else you have to just continue the script, there aren't anything like parameters in any scripting program (to my knowledge).

    It's important to note that the flag being true or false is dependent on which situation you're going to use. For example the walk_down will require the flag to be unset, where as the setmaptile will require it to be set (to follow the same general skeleton atleast).

    Spoiler:


    That's all in PKSV btw.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I did not understand exacly the first point. What's the meaning of "something inside the rom"? The offset i've used #dynamic 0x814D7F6 is the same offset that previusly belonged to a signpost, so it should be in the rom.

    Another question: i known how to use flag but i don't known how to known which one is to use...sorry for the pun with known :P

    I'm pretty sure when you decompile an offset it puts an 8 infront. So the offset is really 0x14D7F6. When you re-script the entire thing you take out the 8. It's also a better idea not to replace old text signs with larger scripts because it may overwrite something other than what you're trying to.

    Your last statement sorta doesn't make grammatical sense so it's hard to decipher what you're trying to say. What I gather is that you're not sure what flags to use? Just use the same flag you use to makesure the player obtains the 'key' or whatever.

    Game: Fire Red
    System: XSE
    Type: One time script

    Ok I have been trying to figure out how to make a script happen only once and have had no luck. Can anyone explain how the script for oak happens only once?

    What you need are the ones called "flags".
    For example...
    Code: 
    #dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x1000
if 0x1 goto @talked_already
message @1 6
setflag 0x1000
release
end

#org @talked_already
message @2 6
release
end

#org @1
= Hello. How are you?

#org @2
= Um... You already talked to me.

    There are tutorials explaining about flags in the scripting tutorials found in the Tutorials section.
    I advice you to take a look there.

    Click to expand...

    First off, you don't need to put in a custom #dynamic offset. XSE will find free space automatically, so just keep it as 0x800000. You also need to put a space between "end" and "#org @talk".

    I'm working on a hack right now and I'm wondering how to create a warp from a pokemon event, like if you engage a legendary, i want it to send me somewhere. Can anyone give me some advice?

    Also, does anyone know where I can find script and hex editing tutorials besides youtube, I'm better at reading than watching video. And I would like to know how to remove the Birch event so I can just access the bag.

    Another note, when I click the gears, it just compiles in the bottom left corner but the box to obtain the offsets doesn't show at all. Am I doing something wrong?

    You use the warp command. Simple as that.

    Good scripting tutorial: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=164276

    google to find a hex editing tut (or there might be one in the tutorial section, idk)

    Sometimes this happens (to me, at least) after decompiling a script, then trying to compile a new script in another tab. Try closing xse, then opening it again before compiling. And if that's not the problem, then perhaps your xse isn't version 1.1.1. You'll want to update it if that's the case.
