Got it to work now after the swapping of EndBS and LowerBothBS.

Congrats on your first ASM! I've had many hours of rage not getting Close Combat to lower the single Defense or Sp. Def. stats properly after one reaches -6, so your effort is definitely appreciated!

Hopefully I'll have time to learn some asm soon, too, so I can contribute more to the forum and to my own hack.

EDIT: Also, for those who want the Close Combat asm for Emerald:

Hey Tlachtli, currently porting this to Fire Red, only thing I'm having trouble with, is what exactly 0x2024200 does, and what it corresponds to. My guess is either its 0x2023D50 (existing damage) or 0x2023D60 (which I'm not entirely sure what's purpose is). Would you mind sharing what specifically that byte does?
Click to expand...

That's just an arbitrary, unused halfword I recycle as a temp variable in my ASMs and battle scripts. I can't say I'm 100% certain it's safe, but I watched it over the course of several battles and never saw it get used/changed by anything. Any halfword (or in this case, just a byte) that doesn't get used during battle and is cleared afterword will work fine.

In this case, I'm using it as a flag to check if the move's initial animation has already been played. If it cycles through all the targets and never sets the flag (because it never found a valid target and thus played the animation) then it knows to print the "But it failed" message.

Great! If I understand correctly, you have found an easier way to do what I had previously shown the way!

Awesome! Thanks Tlachtli. I'm using 02023D60 in this case, as theres nothing specific that it does.

Also I've edited my original post, since I've added Shell Smash to Dragon Dance's BS. As mamamama rightly said +Atk and +Speed is closer to Shell Smash's effect than +Spatk could have been. Anyway here are the new moves! All for Fire Red.

I noticed that you use playtstatsanimation 0x0 0xA 0x0 on moves such as Quiver Dance, Coil and Shell Smash. Is there a reason it's always that combination?

I was under the impression you had to add the stats you are raising/lowering together so that the correct colour changes when just one stats is raising.

For example. Dragon Dance has Speed (0x8) and Attack (0x2) so if you add them together you get 0xA and thus one colour is correctly used if the other is already at +6. This would place Coil at 0x46 etc.

Oh that may be the case to be honest I just assumed it was 0xA for every multi-stat raising move. Let me look at Calm Mind to see if it also uses 0xA.

EDIT: I've gone through and fixed all of them. Thanks mamamama. Also I've tested them all in my rombase and they all work perfectly now.
EDIT2: My BSP has been compiling incorrectly in areas, for some reason the B_>= command isn't compiling to 0x3 as it should but to 0x0. I'm just going to change some move effects to show this.

If you use a Pokemon with Dragon Dance + Shell Smash against a Zigzagoon with only Fake Tears, start with 2 Dragon Dances, and then go for a Shell Smash you will notice that neither of the defenses will lower when the regular defense should be going down.

I made this script a few weeks ago and cleaned it up a bit using yours as template. This is Quiver Dance and Shell Smash combined with Dragon Dance. I use Dragon Dance because I want the AI to recognize to use it when it wants to outspeed an opponent that is faster. I don't think the AI will act much differently if you choose to combine QDance with Calm Mind (My QDance is pretty much identical to yours).

I've tested this with all kinds of combinations and it should work. Note that this is for Emerald but should be easy to translate using the offsets in Mr. Ds's code. I made this based on the original Dragon Dance and Curse scripts combined.

EDIT: I noticed that my old effect did not pierce through White Smoke so I'm updating it with a fix. I believe yours has the same problem MrDollSteak. You can just change 0x1 TRUE @XX to 0x81 TRUE @XX and playstatanimation to 0x1 0x24 0x9 and it will work properly.

Credit to DoesntKnowHowToPlay's Hammer Arm Script for this fix.

The problem with that has been fixed, it was because BSP wasn't compiling the 0x3 byte in the jump properly.

Also here is an animation for Shift Gear using a custom particle.

Code: 
00 3D 28 0A 03 28 01 0C 0C 08 19 B4 00 3F 02 XX XX XX 08 02 05 D6 FF E7 FF 00 00 00 00 0F 00 04 0C 02 YY YY YY 08 02 07 07 00 05 00 01 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 00 19 74 00 3F 05 0B 03 0D 08 FF

At offset XXXXXX put
XX 28 XX 28 38 CA 3A 08 F0 1C 23 08 00 00 00 00 24 7A 3E 08 55 8C 0B 08

At offset YYYYYY put
XX 28 XX 28 58 CB 3A 08 F0 1C 23 08 00 00 00 00 F8 7B 3E 08 61 A5 0B 08

Then insert the attached particle particle wherever you want and change the index from XX 28 to your value in the particle table.

Thank you very much! I still do not have time to test, but if you really found the hex for new messages, I'm relieved! My routine had problems when there were battles with link...

Glad that you are now working with asm and hex!{:3}

When I have time, I'll show you how I make an effect run in a end of turn, without using pauses! Also, things like the "toxic spikes!"
 
Clubbed Sky Attack (also updated it's message), Freeze Shock (updated it's effect so that electric mons can't be paralysed by it), Ice Burn together due to similar effect. This also requires the battle string loader ASM:

basePower: .word 0x02023F50
dexData: .word 0x0844E850

NOTES
1. The bold section of the code is meant to accommodate the weight changes due to Light Metal, Heavy Metal abilities and the item Float Stone because the Weight is directly loaded from the Dex Data in the ROM (even lowkick does).

2. If your ROM don't have anyone of these things remove the bolded section. Otherwise, replace XX with the index of Light Metal, replace YY with the index of Heavy Metal, and replace ZZZZ with the index of Float Stone.

3. If you have expanded the no of pokemons then the value of dexData also needs to be changed to the new location.

4. If someone wants to port it to Emerald, in addition to changing the value of offsets also change the mov r2, #0x24 to mov r2, #0x20 after the ldr r1, dexData, this because in every GBA Rom except Emerald the dex entry for each poke takes 36 bytes, whereas in Emerald it takes 32 bytes.

Here is the effect for acupressure:
Acupressure (Set the targeting scheme to '2' so that the move it can select any target bank):
Script:
Spoiler:


Asm at GGGGGG:
Spoiler:


ASM at HHHHHH
Spoiler:


ASM at IIIIII:
Spoiler:


The first ASM adjusts the target, if accidentally selected by the player or AI that is out of the range of acupressure i.e opponent's team, to the required range. (If somebody has the knowledge of hacking the targeting scheme then this ASM would not be required).

The seconds ASM checks for maximization of all stats and ally's substitute.

The third ASM randomly selects the boosting byte.

The move freezes when it's executed. Also targeting 2 isn't very good, because in single battles you can pick the opponent which isn't ideal.
