Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

I just need a quick answer hah.
So I've written out my script and i've got my flags in place but when i go out of the map and back in and I walk on the script tile the script starts again, if i have everything in the correct order (or at least i think i do) i don't know what i've got wrong. Help?

PEDRO12 said:

the flags have to have the following order:

in the very n=beginning of the script, use checkflag 0xflag number
then use 'if 0x1 goto @pointer'
now remember to make the pointer you placed in the if command, and in it, use only release and end. and at the end of the original script, use setflag 0xflag number.

best use flags above 1000, almost all those under 1000are already used, and might glitch up your game if used.

I have all that right i think.
Maybe you can pick out the problem
this is my main script anyway

I have a question,
How do i exactly make the script like you know for the beginning of the hack where you and your rival need to choose a starter.
Like how do i make so that the rival pick out the one that have the elements againts, like if i picked fire he pick water..
And also in the future battle how do i make so that the battle involves the pokemon which the rival picked? since it can be any 3 according to how the player choose..

Is using flags be use for all this?
Then how is the future battle made? like the trainer stats like how i am gonna edit the trainer to have the pokemon the elements against..must i use a-trainer to have the rival 3 types with each different element?

Kind confusing i know, i myself finds it hard to type..haha

You just use a variable or flags and then check it during the rival scripts and then run a different battle depending on the value. There's no other way around it, really.

Scripting movement in Ruby.

Ok so I have been browsing alot of scripting tutorials and I have found that most of the ones I look at are directed towards FireRed and totally skip out on how to script movements.

I am currently trying to make a script in Pokemon Ruby where the player's character steps on a tile, and then they are forced to walk to a certain spot and talk to a certain person.

I started with this script to test it, but the game freezes whenever I step on the area where the script is. It looks like this:

#org 0x814E948
'-----------------------------------
lockall
msgbox 0x816D10E ' Test
callstd MSG_NOCLOSE ' Non-closing message
closemsg
movesprite 0x2 0xF 0x3
applymovement PLAYER 0x814EA2C ' walk_up walk_up walk...
msgbox 0x816D119 ' Testing
callstd MSG_NOCLOSE ' Non-closing message
closemsg
setvar 0x4060 0x2
releaseall
end


#org 0x816D10E
= Test

#org 0x816D119
= Testing

#org 0x814EA2C
M walk_up walk_up walk_up walk_up walk_up walk_up walk_up walk_up end


Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Its very important because having patches of script like this are the basis of my hack and if I can figure this out then I am screwed.

PEDRO12 said:

ok first off, like i said, use flags above a 1000, i'm pretty sure flag A is already used, and if some guide says otherwise, those lists are somethimes wrong, but almost no flags above a thousand are used, but use flags above 2000 just to be sure. So instead of checkflag 0xA and setflag 0xS, use checkflag 0x2001 and setflag 0x2001. That's safer. Secondly, instead of
msgbox @talk
callstd 0x6
...
...
...
this should make the script work, and only happen once, hey, you see the link that says tutorial part 1 and part 2 in my sig, go to part 1, and read the scripting part, then continue to part 2, it should help you overcome your scripting probs.

Okay i changed the flags just to be safe.
I'm using an older version of xse and i just can't be bothered getting the new version right now hah so i have to use callstd hah.
Some tutorial thing on youtube told me to use waitmsgbox hah that is awkward.

I've checked out your tutorials and learnt a few things (thanks) but it still repeats itself i think i might start a new script instead and hopefully that'll work instead :)

Thanks again hahah.

It is fine until I add another text box after: msgbox 0x831DB3F '"\c\h01Á[player] and [rival] receive..."
callstd 0x6
(yes, i included it at the bottom with a working offset) as soon as i compile, the final movement screws up. every time i fix it, it goes back. Help?

Hi guys, im pretty new here, so i have a quick question.
When I Compile a script, it's works and everything. But, if I want to change the script, and I compile it, it does the old script. So everytime I want to change the script, i have to delete the person event in AdvanceMap, and re-do it? (Because thats what im doing)
Isn't there any quicker solution for this?

You just have to change the script offset in AMap to the new location that it gets compiled to.

So, it's not possible to just change the script under an offset?
So let's see, there is a script with offset "a". It contains the next: "Text one"
But, i want the script with offset "a" change to "text two", i must create a new offset?

I hope this is a simple question... So I have been working on this hack for a long while now, and I just recently reset the game and tried to play through what i have hacked.
The problem is, when I walk out of my house. This text box appears that won't go away.

As you can see, the whole script is messed up somewhere, but I can't find it where. Any help would be appreciated:3

First of all, use appropriate pointers. Not something as confusing as gimmethatgoddampokemon. :/
Also, while writing a new script, try not to use real offsets. By real offsets, I'm referring to those strings of hex numbers. Use pointers like @1, @2, etc. unless you really know what that offset contains, or if the offset is free.
Lastly, try compiling the script again in some free space.[/FONT][/QUOTE]

Well, I tried, and it's helped with the pointers, thank you:b (Actually, I had to compile to a new offset, because with the old one it didn't work. But thank you :D!

I'm replacing a person in Viridian Forest, and I gave him this script. I changed the sprite to 92, the Poké Ball.

However, the script always reverts to the original script.

Does the script work? And why does it keep reverting?

Strictly speaking, it's better than the alternative. "@1" tells you jack squat about what's at that address.
