Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

I'm afraid you're chances of getting your question answered are low as, I think it's safe to say, Pokéscript is obsolete compared to languages like those present in XSE. Sorry. >:

I seem to have some trouble with this trigger script.

XSE, FireRed, Trigger Script

Spoiler:

Okay, so what's meant to happen in this portion of the script is basically: screen fades to white, Raikou's cry is heard, the player, and events 7, 8 and 9 face left, the screen fades back to normal. Up to here works. Until, when I want Person # 10 and Person ID 901 to appear as it doesn't appear. Afterwards, a message is shown, person nine moves, more text is shown, which all works, until Person # 11 and Person ID 905 appears, followed by the hiding of #10, which also doesn't work. The pause for half a second works, but then, lo and behold, the hiding of #11 doesn't work.

The second spoiler shows part of the level script which hides #10 and #11 to begin with. The rest of this level script works, so I don't think that's the problem.

This is really annoying me. Any ideas why it's happening?

e: Although the rest of the script works, if I exit and re-enter the map, the script executes again, but if I stay in the map and walk over the tile, nothing happens. I have put flags in, so I dunno why that happens either. >:

FRom what I'm assuming, you're using a sequential order for your person event, so should be using the HEX numbers for people #10 and #11 (0xA and 0xB), that may be why they're not appearing - I do this all the time as well. I'm not sure why the script executes itself again after you reenter the map because you're setting and checking a flag, but hopefully this will help will help with your person problem.

This is going to sound like a really dumb question, I know. Bear with me.

I'm using the newest version of XSE to edit scripts in my Ruby ROM. If I go to "Open Script" in Advance Map and edit from there, how do I save the edited script to the ROM?

isaiahbob · Jun 19, 2011

answer

if i am understanding your question, you just have to press the compile button (the one that looks like two gears)

You need to compile the script again (The two blue cogs on the top of XSE). This method will be fine if you're making the script shorter/ keeping it the same length, but if you are making it longer would be best to change the offsets in the script so it doesn't overwrite anything.

EDIT: Beaten ;_;

applymovement help

I have an applymovement script that I need help on. It goes like this:

Spoiler:

Everything works until after the person talks, then nothing happens. It's like the script stops. It won't go past that point. (I'm trying to make the guy run away after he says @tut.)

I read that very often from you :D

isaiahbob: Binary pretty much explained everything but I'd add this: don't use boxset ;) I think it's pokescript command so use the msgbox command in a way Binary showed you =)

Hi, I have a problem with my wildbattle script. The pokemon doesn't disappeared after the fight, i don't know what to do...

Yes i read that but I don't know what flag I have to choose. Some are already used, aren't they? and do I have to translate them in Hex?

Sorry but I just begin to script :s

You set this flag didn't you? "setflag 0x8C1"
Then that should be the one you want to put =)
If it's not flag that activates something =)

earthquake

Game: Ruby

I'm fairly new to this whole scripting business.

I'm trying to make a script where you would walk over it and a earthquake will happen with a sound, and shortly after that a msgbox will appear then closeonkeypress, then everything goes back to normal. (after the one time it wont happen again).

Unfortunately my script is not working, in fact it stops working on the 2nd line at "lockall".
But when I get rid of "lockall" the earthquake works, the sound goes on forever, the msgbox never appears and this will happen every time you walk over it.

Help Please.

Script,

I have no idea why you have the command 'goto' when you aren't checking a flag/ variable beforehand - You might as well have just put the entire script in a huge block. I put in the 'setflag' command so that this script won't repeat each time you step on it.

The timing and magnitude of earthquakes are based on four variable values, rather than just the one you had originally. This might be why your earthquake was going on forever.

Thank-you for your help and time.

I have tried the modified script you had wrote and the problem of the lock has gone.
But there is still a problem, When I place the script down on the floor and walk over it, nothing happens.
I don't freeze over it, I just walk over it as if nothing was there in the first place.

Thanks for your time.

Oh sorry, I'm afraid I messed up a bit when writing that. Instead of continuing if you had not set the flag, it was only continuing if you had.

At the beginning it should be:
...
checkflag 0x200
if 0x0 goto @Continue
...

Once again, sorry for being a bit careless.

Thanks again, and it's no problem as long I get the help I need.

But again unfortunately there is still a problem. I got a feeling I am doing something wrong because when I walk over this script it does one of two things, it will either get stuck on lock and freeze the player, or the player will just walk over it with nothing happen.

Sorry for being such a fuss.

Thanks again.
