4050, actually. I don't know of any others.

NarutoActor · Jan 5, 2010

Think before you post, 4050 is not the only free var there are tons of them. The one I personally use is 5050.

Okay, so ignore the sub-blargh error when you start the rom, that's just a clock issue that won't affect your script. Your setflag needs to come right before the end of your script, after the pause 0x30 would be great. However, 0x200 isn't a good flag to use, are you aiming for a specific event flag? 0x1000 is a lot safer, as it isn't used by the game.

I'm'a delete all events in the game at one point anyway, so 0x200 shouldn't matter much, nyaa? or should I still change it regardless?

You can't use the same variable for other scripts can you? If not how do you find out the other variables?

Yes, you can use the same variable for every level.
if you use 4050, you can use it for EVERY script.

Well, yeah you can but I'd recommend one that the game doesn't use. Even if you don't reuse any of the original scripts beyond the PokéCenters et al., it's probably a good idea to err on the safe side and use different variables.
But yes, you can reuse variables. For example, I use 0x7000 as a general story progress meter.

That is a smart idea.
if the game at any point changes the variable in a bad way for you many scrips could get turned off... I think I'll start doing that. (I've grown so accustomed to using 4050, lol)

im learning how to script and each time i compile the script is not as i put it my game is fire red look

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Do you have any pokemon.\nCheck if PROF.OAK\lgives you one.

and this is how it looks after i compile it and put it on a sprite in a-map

'-----------------------
#org 0x4567DE
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x84567E9 '"Will you get any\npokemon check if\..."
release
end

'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x4567E9
= Will you get any\npokemon check if\lPROF.OAK will give you\lany

Well did you compile it to the right rom?

arpeejajo · Jan 6, 2010

Whenever I compile this code

Code:

'---------------

closeonkeypress
applymovement 0x1 0x834EBCC
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox 0x834EBDC MSG_KEEPOPEN '"Julia: Hey! Where'd you come from?..."
closeonkeypress
msgbox 0x834EC59 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"[player]: I don't know."
releaseall
end

'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x34EC0E

#org 0x34EBDC

#org 0x34EC59

and then close the editor and then open the script again, it changes to this

You extended the offset 0x34EB8C.
It's normal when you add something to old offset and don't delete something else.

Apollo-player · Jan 6, 2010

does anyone know why this doesnt work? i kind of need help on the givepoemon line

'-----------------------
#org 0x1B1439
msgbox 0x904734 "theres a note\pit reads: i cant do this, please\capture my pokemon"
msgbox 0x904735 "will you accept the challenge?"
boxset 6
compare LASTRESULT 0x0
if 0x1 goto 0x85FB257
releaseall
end
#org 0x5FB257
givepokemon 0x054 0x5 0x0
return

and it isnt the #dynamic

So what should I do to fix it? Give it a different offset or what?

Well, as far as I know, it's best to avoid flags used by the game either way, but it's your call. Also, certain flags already have set effects that I don't know how to edit (for instance, the gym badges, firstpokemon, and pokedex flags).
@NarutoActor, chill out, seriously. I wasn't aware that any var could be used, I didn't realize that it was the same type of var that I'd use in a script :P. No need to be rude about it. Anyway, thanks for teaching me something new, I'll try messing with that a bit.

5 problems...
1. You were using boxset, that no longer exists.
2. You were missing a 'boxset' command.
3. You were missing some buffers in 'givepokemon'
4. A 'goto' should have been a 'call'.
5. One of those boxsets was a Yes/No box, right? That's boxset #5.

Fixes are in bold.

Apollo-player · Jan 7, 2010

thanks darthatron... i am still learning and i am kind of used to pokescript.

Click to expand...

Being you I'd start again with the new ROM.
Since if you corrupt some old scripts it might do something really bad to other offsets.
And yes you need different offset you can use #dynamic 0x700000/800000/etc...

arpeejajo · Jan 8, 2010

I have a question about dynamic offsets. When I made the below code as dynamic and then compiled it and copied the first offset into the Advance Map, and opened it up again it changed to the code below. Is that supposed to happen?
Also, why is it when I walk into this script nothing happens?

Code:

'---------------
#org 0x800008
lock
msgbox 0x800027 MSG_NORMAL '"Hmm. Where am I?"
closeonkeypress
applymovement 0x1 0x880003A
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0x1 0x8800040
waitmovement 0x0
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x800027
= Hmm. Where am I?

Hmm, what exactly are you talking about? I only see one problem with the script itself and make sure the unkown in amap is 0003 and the var is 4050. Changes in bold and removed some stuff. Also the script will keep happening unless you set a flag.

arpeejajo · Jan 8, 2010

Is the text box 0x4 or 0x6? Either way I tried both and they didn't work.
