Have you tried using different flags? Also, what happens if you try the same script ona clean ROM?

Actually, you should better decompile some braille script because you're doing it wrong.

Change it to 'No Movement' it'll fix it.

Nope... That won't fix anything. The actual problem is the Movement value. Which usually never is 00 (outdoors, at least). Copy the value from some other existing NPCs on a clean ROM. But wait, what's the second Unknown value?

I changed it to No Movement and made the Movement value 11. I left the Unkown Value alone.

craig100: Search for Trade Editors in the toolbox, there are a couple. I haven't messed with them myself, but...

Okay, so this script works fine up till the warp, then it just goes to a black screen. I've tried warping to various other locations, and it would either drop me into the middle of the ocean or just go blank again. What'd I do wrong?

Spoiler:


Also, when I decompiled braille scripts, they were each only one line long. Is it possible to make a braille string longer?

That will actually require ASM, because the only way to take away a Pokemon in XSE (except through the preset trades) is by using the daycare script to store it. If you're really serious about it, Thethethethe wrote an ASM routine for takepokemon, you can find it if you just go to thethethethe's profile and search for all threads started by him.

I haven't been scripting for a while, but as I recall, warps are usually being read as the last part of the script. Try this...
Code: 
#org @yes
msgbox @letsgo 0x6
applymovement 0x10 @stepaboard
waitmovement 0x0
warp 0x3 0x45 0x3 0x0D 0x7C
release
end
I think those fadescreens are useless since warps are usually setting the game to fadescreen automatically, plus the other fadescreen won't be read anymore. I might be wrong though, for it seems that you're scripting on a FireRed ROM. Though it's worth a try. Save a back-up, btw~
No idea about your braille problem.

Nice new avatar! o.o
The fadescreens aren't the problem(and yes, you're right, they are stupid and unnecessary :\). Actually, I had taken them out of the script, but forgot to take them out of my pasted copy as well, because I'm a goofball.
For the moment, this really isn't that big of a problem (I've got an alternate method planned out anyway), but I'd like to have the issue resolved if for no other reason than so I don't do it again, lol.
Anyway, thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Nope... he just wanted to edit the in-game trades.

Well, you better decompile some in-game scripts, from a clean ROM. So you'll see how to use the warp commands correctly. And no, what destinedjagold posted is not totally correct. Oh, BTW, you don't need any fadescreen after warp, because the game will take care of that.

Er, I idolize you, but you've gotten a little mixed-up.
First, about the trades, he wanted to create a trade of two Pokemon for one, which would, as far as I know, require ASM...

Second, I've used the warp command before, and it's worked beautifully. Also, I mentioned in my last post that I had already removed the fadescreen commands...
Thanks though! For the moment, I'm just circumventing the problem and taking the storyline in a different direction.

EDIT: May have found the warp problem, by looking at my own scripts from earlier 0.o
EDIT AGAIN: Thanks Hackmew for making me look at the script more closely. Turns out (as you probably know), I had written the map offsets in hex, so I just changed them to decimal and now it works! Awesomeness! Thanks again!

Well, not really, it's just I quoted your message instead of him's. His previous message was actually different. Then he asked to trade two Pokémon for one, instead. And that would require ASM indeed. BTW, the thethethethe routine was and still is buggy, so I guess the one I posted would be a better choice.

You're welcome. Out of curiosity, did you remove all fadescreens and put a waitstate right after the warp command?

I removed the fadescreens, but didn't insert a waitstate.
...
Come to think of it, I have no clue what waitstate does. Time to break out the ol' command guide, I guess :s
I didn't know you'd made an ASM routine for that, I'll have to search that later. I thought thethethethe's was the only one out there.
Thanks again!
EDIT: Okay, so the XSE guide says that waitstate tells the script to "wait state." What exactly does that mean?

The game will be waiting and the player will be locked in the meanwhile. It used in scripts where there's a screen fading (e.g. the naming special), and the scripts needs to wait till the screen fades back to continue. Okay, it might not be a really good explanation, but that's more or less what it happens.

Ah, I see. So it basically keeps me from walking around while the game prepares the warp. Thanks!

Part of script disappears

Hi, this is my first time posting here, but I've been lurking a lot.
I did a search for my problem but I didn't see anything related so please forgive me if this actually has been asked before.
Anyway, my problem:
Base game: FireRed
Script editor: XSE
I changed the starter pokemon, and then I tried changing the text that shows when you choose one for each pokeball on the table, in XSE. However, after I compile it and close XSE, it doesn't quite save it right. The text for the first pokemon (the leftmost one) seems to disappear.

Before compiling:
Spoiler:


After compiling:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Okay, judging by this you used an original script for the game, but it seems you may have edited it adn overwritten some stuff. My advice is to write the script yourself from scratch or enable the refactoring mode on XSE so every time you recomplie, it's at a clean offset.
