    Is it unwise to add a type 3 level script to a map that didn't have one originally?
    Because in my experience of level scripting, whenever I add a type 3 level script to a map that didn't have one originally, it crashes the game, and might be a cause for the corruption of my ROM sometimes, (For anyone wondering, I'm using advancemap 1.9.2).

    So should I do something after adding a type 3 to a map, or should I only use type 3 level scripts on maps that already have a type 3 attached to them?

    Well, from my experience, i use plenty of level 3 scripts...u just have to make sure u use free flags and vars so that it happens correctly...if they freeze up ur game try the level 5...i dont see a difference in use, they seem to both mean the same

    While they may have the same description, I'm not too sure if they have the same function.
    From what I've seen, type 5 is only used in Pokemon centers to do something with wireless connectivity.
    It's like type 4, I've only seen that used to set sprite behaviors before a map loads, even though it has the description of type 2.

    Using type 5 or 3 may be different but i use them interchangeably, unless u give an example of the specifc script u are trying to make, further explanation is hard to make out

    Here's an example of a script that crashed my map every time:

    Code: 
    #dynamic 0x7B0000

#org @start
setvar 0x40F6 0x1
end

    (Yes it was supposed to run every time you enter the map)

    To fill you in more:
    I was using what was a map that was used for other maps (one of the house maps), I think that was a bad Idea

    What were u trying to accomplish with that script? Because once u set a value to a var, u shouldnt re-set the same value, it would have no effect unless once u leave that map it resets back to 0

    I don't think it's a problem with the script, so much is it's a problem with the map.

    Also, you don't need to start over if you want to insert the routine.
    All you need is some free space, and if you for some reason don't have enough free space just expand your rom.
     
    Oh i see, ill look into it to see if if i can or cant do it
