megiddo... maybe it's because your checkflag 0x205 doesn't match with your setflag in #org $further.try to notice that your setflag there is setflag 0x250... :\

Script help!

Whenever I try to make a script and put into my hack, it doesn't work! I keep trying to enable the national dex, but whenever I talk to the person, a box with an arrow in the upper-right corner keeps appearing and then the rom will crash/freeze. Can anyone help me?

Frostbite · Apr 12, 2008

I decided to do a Pokemart script, everything works fine and great but I noticed something. Whenever I talk to the mart person he doesn't do a usual greeting (like "hey what do you need.") and it just shows the Buy, Sell, and See Ya option box. I thought it would be simple to fix and just smack in a textbox command with the appropriate greeting. Whenever I do I get weird results whatever textbox I do (6, 4, etc.)

So my question is how do I make a greeting appear in the beginning of a pokemart script without it messing up?

Here's the script.

HTML:

#org $start
lock
faceplayer
pokemart $values1
release
end

#org $values1
#binary int 0x1 0xD 0xE 0x12 0x0

The 0x205 flag is already set. That 0x250 is to make the overworlds permanently disappear.

I cant fix it right now, but I beleive if you decompile a mart script in ScriptDec or XSE you can see what commands it uses, and the change the item options.
I'm not so fond of mart scripts, I'd rather just edit them in A-Mart. I'll edit this post in a few minutes, just lemme check :).

It didn't work. I think I'll ask Baro how he did his rival scripts.

Edit: I had to do the stupidest thing to get it to work. It turns out that another script that I had on the same tile was interfering. I am now having two other problems with it. 1.the #org $your message happens twice 2.you can step on the tile again and it will play the rival music and do the ! mark above the player's head. Here it is

#ORG $begin

checkflag 0x205
if b_true goto $battle

end

#ORG $done

end

Everything else works great.

I'm to sure why the message might repeat itself. Probably just a problem with compiling, but I'm not too sure.
About the second problem, the flag 0x209 isn't setting. I can tell because of this.

Code:

#ORG $battle
playsound 0x13B   'You said it activates the playsound
nop
nop
applymovement 0x01 $rivwalk   'Person isn't there for movement to activate?
applymovement 0x03 $compan   'Person isn't there for movement to activate?
pausemove 0
applymovement 0xFF $hr    'Your movement activates
pausemove 0
trainerbattle 1 0x147 $before $after $further   'Trainerbattle is skipped.
release
end  'end of script.

That's the way I saw it. Try moveing that setflag 0x209 before the fadesound, and see if that makes any difference.

I don't know, why boxset 4 won't work for you. I just tried this in a rom and it worked fine.

Code:

#org $start
lock
faceplayer
message $1
boxset 4
pokemart $values1
#raw 0x68
release
end

#org $1
$1 1 =Hi.

#org $values1
#binary int 0x1 0xD 0xE 0x12 0x0

You probably should be using msgbox2 but it's not coded into pokescript, so you'd have to put the text into the rom through hex. Just ask about that if you're interested.
If not the boxset 4 does pretty much the same thing.

Megiddo-san · Apr 12, 2008

Okay thanks. I'll try that. I hope it works.

*looks for scripting help all over the place*

How the heck did I miss this topic? XD

Well, I posted this in the "Simple questions" topic because somehow, I didn't notice this topic was here.

Okay, this isn't much of a question as it is a request.

I've been trying to learn scripting but I just can't get it right. All of my scripts don't work, and this whole ScriptED VS Pokescript thing is making my head spin.

I use Diamondcutter to apply my scripts to my game, so judging by the format, I think I need ScriptED formatted scripts.

A simple request, all I need is one easily editable script that attatches to a person or object that when you walk up to it and talk to it, it activates a one-time-only wild pokemon battle with a pokemon of choice at a level of choice. Kind of like Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Lugia, and Ho-Oh in Fire Red (which is the version I'm hacking).

I would GREATLY appreciate anyone who helps me out. I've been at this for months and I'm getting more and more discouraged by the week...

Okay, so far, I've only had ONE working script (and I kinda stole it directly from a tutorial, so you know I'm having problems with scripting)

The following is the one script that worked

Code:

#org 0x800000
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x10A
if 1 jump 0x800050
special 0x16F
setflag 0x10A
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox 0x800100
callstd 0x6
waitfanfare
release
end
#org 0x800050
msgbox 0x800070
callstd 0x6
release
end
#org 0x800070
= Enjoy your National Dex.
#org 0x800100
= Your POKéDEX was upgraded!

So, can someone give me the script I requested, but in the same format as the above posted script?

or at least point me in the direction of a tutorial that uses this format AND explains how to do what I need done... So far, all the tutorials I've found show how to do it, but in the wrong format, or show me how to script in the right format but not how to script this particular event.

Just in case anyone willing to help is unclear on what I'm looking for, the script should do the following.

1) Can be applied to an object or person
2) Only activates when clicked on/spoken to
3) Makes the screen shake a bit
4) Initiates a Pokemon Cry of choice
5) Text box goes here (I can edit this myself)
6) Initiates a pokemon battle against a specified pokemon of specified level
7) After the battle, the event cannot be re-triggered unless game is reset to a point before the event took place.

I'll worship anyone who helps me get this thing over with. I've been gnawing at this for months ;_;

Megiddo-san · Apr 12, 2008

It worked, but now this one, which is almost exactly the same, except it checks for a different pokemon doesn't work.

It does nothing. I only changed the trainer battle #, the movements, and one of the checkflags.

Thx Aquila, it finally compiled.
The problem is, it doesn't burn.
It says enter offset for $3, but I can't see the mistake O.o

edit: figured it out, you use $binary instead of #binary.

Yeah, boxset 4 does work but the problem with using it is that the message shows up but, you need to press A in order for the script to continue after the message. I want the script to happen like in the game, the greeting comes up and the box with the options pops up instantaneously and by itself.

If I need to insert that into hex, I'm willing to. I'll be more than happy to learn how to.

This is a topic to help you with your scripts. It doesn't matter what game it is as long as it's a script. Feel free to post whatever you want.

Piplup-Trainer · Apr 13, 2008

Hi guys!
I made a script and it doesn't work how I wanted (everytime I make a script, the script does do cra*)

I want to check 9 trainers if they're beaten.
If yes, then he says something and moves.
When not, then he only print a message.

Here's the script :

#org $sailor
setflag 0x200
checkflag 0x200
if_B_true goto $checktrainer1

#org $checktrainer1
#raw 0x61 0x9E 0x01
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if b_true goto $checktrainer2

#org $checktrainer2
#raw 0x61 0x9E 0x01
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if b_true goto $checktrainer3

#org $checktrainer3
#raw 0x61 0x9E 0x01
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if b_true goto $checktrainer4

#org $checktrainer4
#raw 0x61 0x9E 0x01
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if b_true goto $checktrainer5

#org $checktrainer5
#raw 0x61 0x9E 0x01
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if b_true goto $checktrainer6

#org $checktrainer6
#raw 0x61 0x9E 0x01
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if b_true goto $checktrainer7

#org $checktrainer7

if b_true goto $checktrainer9

#org $checktrainer9
#raw 0x61 0x9E 0x01
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if b_true goto $allchecked

#org $notchecked
message $0

#ORG $0
$0 1 = It takes some time to travel from one\nplace to an other place.\nIf you're bored off, then ask ym brother.\pMaybe he have some work for you...

#org $allchecked
message $1
applymovement 0x01 $sailormove

#org $1
$1 1 = We're in Vermillion City!\pI hope you enjoyed our travel!\pGo downstairs, if you want to leave the ship.

#org $sailormove
#raw 0x01 0x31 0xFE

You open the rom --> a white background appears (the game froze before the intro).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have also a problem with this simple GiveEgg-Script (a person gives you a Dratini Egg and says something) :

#org dratiniegg
lock
faceplayer
message wait
boxset 6
#raw 0x7A 0x93 0x00
release
end

#org $wait
$wait 1 = Hey, [\PLAYER]! Are you leaving now?\nI will miss you. But before you\ngo, I want you to obtain this.\pTake care of it, okay?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would be glad if you can help me.
Thanks in Advance.

destinedjagold · Apr 13, 2008

megiddo, I think I found the problem to your script...
the script that worked, well, worked fine, why?
Because the flag 209 isn't set yet, but after the script was finished, the flag was set...

And in the second script, and since the flag 209 was already set, it automatically proceeds to #org $done...
I hope you get what I meant...

Code:

#ORG $begin checkflag 0x209 if b_true goto $done checkflag 0x205 if b_true goto $battle release end #ORG $done release end #ORG $battle playsound 0x13B nop nop applymovement 0x01 $rivwalk applymovement 0x03 $compan pausemove 0 applymovement 0xFF $hr pausemove 0 trainerbattle 1 0x147 $before $after $further release end #ORG $rivwalk #RAW 0x12 #RAW 0x12 #RAW 0x12 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0xFE #ORG $compan #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x12 #RAW 0x12 #RAW 0x12 #RAW 0xFE #ORG $hr #RAW 0x01 #RAW 0x62 #RAW 0xFE #ORG $before $before 1 = Before we leave I want to kick\nyour butt. #ORG $after $after 1 = Wha?! #ORG $further message $your boxset 6 applymovement 0x01 $again applymovement 0x03 $again2 pausemove 0 #raw 0x53 #raw 0x01 #raw 0x00 #raw 0x53 #raw 0x03 #raw ox00 setflag 0x250 fadesound 0x117 nop nop [U]setflag 0x209[/U] release end #ORG $your $your 1 = You're better than I thought...\p\v\h01.\p\v\h01.I'll win next time. #ORG $again #RAW 0x12 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x13 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0xFE #ORG $again2 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0x12 #RAW 0x10 #RAW 0xFE

No. It was when the 209 was not set. Instead of checking for one starter, it checks for another. Only one event happens.

Well then you'll want 'msgbox2' and 'waitmsgbox'. You'll have to go to an empty spot in the rom and type in text using a table. Let's say you put the text at 0x123456 (just an example). You have to of course have the pointer reversed.
The script would look like this.

Code:

#org $start
lock
faceplayer
#raw 0x67 0x56 0x34 0x12 0x08   'Reversed 08 12 34 56 ; 56 34 12 08
#raw 0x66
pokemart $bla
release
end

#org $bla
#binary int 0x4 0x0
