See how the slashes / and \ are different. Well, you need to use \ this one.

Thanks for that. It works.

I have another problem. I make multiple people in a room, and one is deleted, while 2 share the same script. They all have different script offsets. How does this not work?

Is there any script to remove a Pokemon from your party?

For instance, in my current hack game, there is a scene where you have no Pokemon, the Prof. of the region lets you borrow one, but I want the Prof. to take it back right away. I'm guessing it's something like "removepokemon" but I'm not sure. I've searched this tut and I've missed it if it's included somewhere.

Thanks!

HackMew posted some nice ASM code that allows you to do that. You can find it here.

Hey, could someone help me with this script? I just can't seem to get it to work.

Spoiler:

Everything else is fine, I just can't initiate the trainerbattle script.

To run away from you? You have to have an applymovement script.
And I don't know if flags 0x1 - 0x9 work. It sure didn't for me.

And I'm not really sure what you're doing here.
They script will just repeat over again, because you're setting a different flag at the end of the script. (It's supposed to be the same one)

And even if the flag 0x1 is checked, why would you have a clearflag for 0x4 in the @done script?

If the flag is checked, you should just have release end for @done.

Somebody slap me if I'm wrong.

Hey guys, I'm new here and just wanted to ask a 2questions?

I've searched alot to try and find the answer here but no luck...

My questions are:

1. In Xse, I do everything right, codes etc...follow them strictly step by step.
-----------------------------
#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
message @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Hello World
--------------------------------

. When I test it, the character simply turns to me but he doesn't talk...Can't seem to figure out whats wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. ( Also, if I use FSF to find free space and I put it copy it to Xse, when I finish the codes and press compile, a box comes on saying that "THE ROM DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE"..And the FSF option within Xse is unclickable , its not highlighted at all. Any tips also?
-----------
2. When I create a new house using a new map on advance map, I can't seem to enter the house when I test it. The screen goes black and the game freezes... All warps are correctly inserted and I've checked it so many times. Do you know what i'm doing wrong?

Thank you Everyone

O and ^post, you need to have free space finder in the same folder as xse, and your rom ran out of space. Try a Rom expander?

I'm having trouble with my script.

Spoiler:


I'm having trouble with the hidesprite, whenever I move away from the Pokeball after the whole script is done, it appears again. What's wrong?

Set a flag before the hidesprite that is the same as the ID of the sprite you wanna make disappear.

OH and when i open advance map and choose xse as my script editor via "settings" "choose script editor" it says "are offsets seperated from the rom name by ":" (default) or " " in the preffered script editor?? => Yes for ":" : No for " "." WHAT IS THIS??????? WHAT DO I CHOOSE AND HOW DOES THIS AFFECT MY SCRIPTING ???? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!

SOMEONE HELP ME QUICK !!!!!! I"M WORKING ON ONE OF THE BEST HACKS EVER. I MADE A LONG GAME WHICH BY THE WAY ISN'T BORING AND I PROMISE EVERYONE HERE WILL GET THE COMPLETE VERION WHICH DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE A HACK (BECAUSE OF MY EXP. IN MAKING A COOL MAP) BUT THE EVENTS WON'T WORK AND SCRIPTING IS MY PROBLEM.I NEED THE INFO I REQUESTED. OH AND MY TALKING SCRIPT WORKED BUT THE PERSON JUST KEEPS TALKING AND DOESN'T WAIT FOR ME TO PRESS A. WHY ??????? HELP ME BY ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS SO I CAN GO BACK TO WORKING ON MY HACK WHICH IS BY THE WAY "TITANIUM VERSION" !!!!!!!! WICKED GAME.

I'M GOING TO LUNCH. PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER MY QUESTION UNTILL I COME BACK. ANYONE. IT DOESN'T MATTER AS LONG AS IT WORKS.

i dont know about the fading out thing but about the pokemon ( the nidorans ) did you convert there pokedex number to hex...ie nidoran(m) is 32 i think and that converted to hex is...20 do the same for any other pokemon in your hack as XSE comes with a dec to hex calculator on the right... hope this helps a little

Well about on of my scripts I have a little problem...

Its the opening script in my hack where you recieve a Pichu and all the main characters are introduced...

My problem is that out of the 5 characters in the script only Prof.Oak, PLAYER and Melissa appear whereas RIVAL and your mum dont appear for their part. Everything else goes smoothly other then that. Heres the script:

anyhelp is appreciated :D thanks :)

I'm getting very frustrated now.
Everytime you figure something out a new problem arises.

'-----------------------
#org 0x8000F5
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x880010B '"Don't you think the water is\nbeaut..."
if 0x1 goto 0x8800135
msgbox 0x880016E '"Children these days just do not\nap..."
end
'-----------------------
#org 0x800135
cmdC3 0xE8
givecoins 0xE7

'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x80010B
= Don't you think the water is\nbeautiful?
#org 0x80016E
= Children these days just do not\nappreciate nature...\lIt makes me sad.

The bit highlighted just appeared from no where!
I am trying a simple Yes/No question but this appears in the midst of my script :(

Please help.
