Fixes in bold. Try this one...
Also, "applymovement 0xFF" is very simple to understand. "Applymovement" itself is the movement command, while 0x(hex number), in this case 0xFF, means to move which sprite on the map where the script currently is, and 0xFF is to number of the player

Simple fixes, and thanks for explaining. I've read many guides but some things still confuse me I guess since I have to skim through them all.

I'll bookmark this for later reference though. I'll have to try it tomorrow.

Who knows the warp command for XSE?
because warp 0x[bank] 0x[mapnumber] 0x[warp number] doesn't work...

It goes like this
warp 0x3(bank) 0x0(map) 0x1 (warp) 0x3(X Coordinate) 0x3(Y Coordinate)

Aside from what dshayabusa said, you also forgot waitmovement 0x0 multiple times.
 
Hackimon.
You forgot the callstd 0x6 under each msgbox command. Try using bigger stevars than 0x4033.
Try 0x7000 and up. I think a lot of setvars are used by the game itself.

Thanks for the help :D

:edit:
I used it in this way but it doesn't work, the () are nopt included when compiling
warp 0x3(4) 0x0(1) 0x1 (0) 0x3(4) 0x3(3)
It's for this warp, Map 4.1 so the bank is 1, and the warp is 0, the offset's are X 0004 Y0003..
What's wrong with what I did?

I'm really new to scripting, and need some assistance. ^^; What am I doing wrong with this (XSE) script? I can compile it and everything, but when I go to talk to the sprite on the overworld, she does absolutely nothing except make that "beep" sound when you normally talk to a sprite. (During the course of making changes, I've gotten her to actually talk and start the battle, but all the text boxes are glitchy and she never follows any of the movement commands, meaning if you keep talking to her, you're in an endless battle loop. The script below is the one that yields the "nothing" result).

What I want the sprite to do is say a line while facing in a different direction from you, then turn and get an exclamation point over her head, while the "female rival" music plays. Then I want her to talk a bit more, after which a battle will start. After the battle, she'll talk a little more, than walk up a step, than walk left off the screen and vanish. Flags relating to having met her are either set or cleared.

Thanks so much in advance!

Spoiler:


It works perfectly, but the pointer $talk0 is being said after the wrap command.

Here's what it looks like in XSE.

Spoiler:


The same message came twice(the large sized words). I placed it only one place.
Is there a problem?

Edit: Pink Parka Girl, try replacing the 0x16 with 0x10. It needs to be in hex. 16 in hex is 10. Try that.

Edited: The first script works fine, now. But now I have a problem with another. The first part of the script works - but once the first flag is set, it stops working. Can anyone help? (Like the first, this is an XSE script.)

What I want to have happen: Lady Linwood, (the sprite in question) is seeking a runaway, who you happen to find. You have the choice of either revealing their location (and earning a Nugget) or following your morals and saying you have no idea. I want you to only be offered the Yes/No option once - not like in a typical Pokemon game (and many other RPGs, for that matter) where you'll keep getting badgered until you pick the "correct" response. If you say Yes, you'll be given a Nugget and a specific flag will not be set. If you say No, you won't get the Nugget and a specific flag WILL be set. But...I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me fix up this script?

I'm guessing flag 0x44C is set in another script? could you show the script when you encounter the runaway?
 
The "runaway script" is a modified version of the one I posted earlier, in my first post on the thread. Here is the finalized version:

'-----------------------
#org 0x1E40CF
lockall
msgbox 0x81E4235 '"A dead end? Oh, no[.]and I'm afraid..."
callstd 0x4
playsong 0x19F 0x1
applymovement 0x10 0x81A0839
waitmovement 0x0
sound 0x15
applymovement 0x10 0x81A0833
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0x10 0x81A0835
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox 0x881B38B '"D-don't hurt me! Please!\p[.] [.]\n..."
callstd 0x4
trainerbattle 0x3 0x5 0x0 0x81E420F
msgbox 0x81759A1 '"Rosie: Remember your promise, pleas..."
callstd 0x4
closeonkeypress
pause 0x1E
fadescreen 0x1
hidesprite 0x10
movesprite2 0x10 0x3F 0x19
fadescreen 0x0
setflag 0x44C
fadedefault
releaseall
end

After I compiled the "Lady Linwood" script, this is what XSE spits back at me:

'-----------------------
#org 0x80048C
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x44C
if 0x1 goto 0x81E57A9
msgbox 0x880058C '"Upon my word! Who are you?\nI certa..."
callstd 0x6
release
end

'-----------------------
#org 0x1E57A9

(and so on...for a good 200 or so lines)
warp5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0xE041

I'll try using a different flag pointer (what are some good, safe values to work in?), but not sure how much good that will do...Apologies for asking so many questions, but I'm still such a newbie... ^^'
 
Not really scripting help, but a question.
Without flag 0x828, how can I tell that the player has caught a pokemon?
Because the player catches a Pokemon with a masterball, and I cannot set the flag 0x828 until I am 100% sure they have caught it.

If you are warping to a warp tile then use:
Code: 
warp 0x4 0x1 0x1 0x0 0x0
If you are not and you want to warp to a specific place use:
Code: 
warp 0x4 0x1 0xff 0x4 0x3

The warp command has two extra parameters; x-coordinate and y-coordinate.
Basically you want to add two nop below the warp command.

You might want to change those callstd 0x4 to callstd 0x6. What happens exactly? And don't worry about it, thats what this thread is for. :D

Catching a Pokemon does not cause flag 0x828 to be set. You can check for a Pokemon using the following method:

What if it's not a certain pokemon, seeing how that script needs the pokemon's number?

Thanks! I changed those, along with a few other little things, and now the script works wonderfully! I'm so excited that I'm finally getting better at this :)
