[ARCHIVE] Simple Questions (SEARCH BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION)

[Equeraide]

I've searched these and nothing helped me out.. I don't know what to search... I SEARCHED ALL OF THESE...

1. How do you execute a certain script within radius of the NPC?
example: You come down a ladder, you walk to the right 1 cell, there's an NPC there who says "Hello," and other stuff to you, but he's 9 cells away. How do you execute it from that far away? Sorta like the trainer-radius thingie.
what I've tried: setting the radius in Advance Map; searching

2. Execute a script made in XSE on a "Script event" on Advance Map
example: You leave a house, then there's a Script Event when you have 2 cells to the right. After standing on the script event, it says like "You cannot go here" etc.
what I've tried: simply putting an offset that worked with an NPC onto the Script Event (It just says hello, works with an NPC but not when on the script)

3. Warping an NPC
example: You go down and see an enemy. the enemy warps away, kinda like the "warpteleport" for the NPC.
what I've tried: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO EVEN START THIS....

4. How do you make an NPC seeable/unseeable only once you've ran a script?
example: You talk to prof. oak, you walk outside and this guy who has previously been blocking the path has now stopped, or vice versa.
what I've tried: I think I found the script for this before, then I lost it then never ever saw it again

5. How do you do specials/turning..
Examples:
SPECIALS: When the "!, ? !!" or "X" pops up.
TURNING: Turn the NPC to face upwards, downwards, left, or to the right without moving, in place.
what I've tried: #raw (whatever the special thingie is)

I really need help with this, to my case there are NO guides that explains any of these...

152+ won't evolve in FR

I'm using Advanced map to put 152+ pokemon (totodile, mudkip, misdraevus, etc) into my Fire Red game. I thought I'd test it a bit before I started modding my game, so I used Pokemon Amplifier to mod these 152+ pokemon to evolve at lvl 4 or 5.
I went to route 1, caught a totodile, and then leveled it to 4. It went to the evolution screen, but then the evolution cancelled and the text box ended with "...?"

What's the problem here, and how can I fix it?

EDIT: I searched and found out that evidently I have to enable a national pokedex (I searched the site and got nothing, but when I searched the thread I found lots. Why in the world doesn't searching the website also search threads? Dumb...)
Anyways, doing another search for how to get a national pokedex isn't giving me much. Can anybody give me some pointers, some links maybe?

EDIT 2: More searching has turned up this:
For fire red, it's setflag 0x829.
If you want the national dex, do this:
setflag 0x829
special 0x16F

OK so... I'm new to this. What does that mean, where do I put it, and what program do I use?

For EDIT 2, you have to make a script and then compile it in XSE. Those are called scripting. Diegoisawesome's tutorial should be able to help you.

 

[thrilljack]

Thanks for the help and (sorry for the stupid question but...) where can I get XSE? I've searched for it and it seems like it's the one mod I can't find a download link for, and yet everybody seems to have it or mention it.

 

[Pokepal17]

It's in HackMew's tool thread in the Toolbox.

 

[Raziel]

You have to use specials for badges. I can't really make out the difference between additem and giveitem.
And, all this shows you in the file std.rbh that came out with your XSE.

Ah, I didn't notice those files.. Thanks a lot :D

I have another question:
I Naranja, the Wingull just flew above everything, every tile. How is that possible?

Here's the answer in a spoiler :P.

Spoiler:

1. Just use a "Script Event".

2. This depends, scripts without movements will probably work fine, however scripts with movements need special numbers to work, you can change these in advance map by doing the following: In advance map, go to the events tab and click on your green "Script Event" Tile. Then you will see a bunch of things on the left:

So what you do is change the first "Unkown" to "0300" and change the "Var Number" to "5040"

3. Just use the "movesprite" command. It's used like this: movesprite [people number] [x coordinate to move to] [y coordinate to move to]
Example:

movesprite 0x4 0xA 0xA

I said to move the sprite with people number "4" to the posistion of "10, 10"
Now notice that this is only temporary and will only stay so till you exit the map. To actually move it forever, you'd have to make two different sprites and first the first one dissappear with a flag and then make the otherone appear by using a clearflag. (You can find out about flags in almost all the scripting tutorials, but I advise you to look here: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/164276 )

4. Making a person dissappear is always done using flags. Once you're done with a person and want to make it dissappear, set a flag. For instance flag 200 and change the persons "Person ID" to "0200". It won't dissappear right away, but after leaving the map it will be gone untill you clear the flag 200.

Setting and clearing flags goes like this: using the commands, "setflag" and "clearflag".
Example:

setflag 0x200
clearflag 0x200

Simple enough right?

If you want to make a person dissappear in an event use the command "hidesprite". To never let this sprite appear again, use a flag as well, otherwise the sprite will come back after the map is refreshed.
This is done like this:

hidesprite 0x3
setflag 0x200

Set the persons ID to 0200 and after the event happens it won't appear again.

5. This is all done by the command "applymovement" I don't feel like explaining this, so just look at the same tutorial I gave you before: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/164276

What do these values mean for the trainerbattle script?

trainerbattle 0x0 0xB2 0x0 0x8781A60 0x8781AB2

What does 0x0 mean?
0xB2?
0x8781A60? etc.

 

[Christos]

What do these values mean for the trainerbattle script?

trainerbattle 0x0 0xB2 0x0 0x8781A60 0x8781AB2

What does 0x0 mean?
0xB2?
0x8781A60? etc.

The first is the type of the battle, the second is the battle number and the last two pointers are for the text, the one before the battle and the defeat text.

There's a lot of tutorials explaining the trainerbattle command, and you can even see what the parameters are in script editors such as XSE.

I have a problem with Sappy 2006:
I've installed all the VB6 Runtime files. Sappy works fine...until I press practically any button. When I do, it closes. Can anyone help???

 

[Xatoku]

Alright my question is, when I change the backsprite and everything it works perfectly, except for the last sprite going back to the old back sprite, how do I fix this?

 

[Equeraide]

Here's the answer in a spoiler :P.

THANKS!! All worked as planned, but gave me one more question...

1. How do you make an NPC move on a Script Tile/Event? I tested the script on a regular person, and they moved, but they didn't move at all (but executed the other scripts) when I set the script on a Script Tile/Event

Script:

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
lock
msgbox @heyYou 0x6
applymovement 0xFF @surprise
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0x04 @walkTowardsYou
waitmovement 0x0
release
end
#org @heyYou
= \c\h01\h04???: HEY YOU!!!
#org @surprise
#raw 0x62 0x01 0xFE
#org @walkTowardsYou
#raw 0x12 0x12 0x12 0x12 0x10 0x12 0x12 0x12 0x11 0x12 0x12 0x10 0x12 0x10 0x10 0x13 0x10 0xFE

In this thread of "[READ] Frequently Asked Questions" (I'm sorry, it won't let me post URLs...) it was said:

3. It is near-impossible to use ALL the pokemon in any hack. Why? Because the game only has 25 (98 with the advance versions if you know what you're doing) free slots to add more pokemon. More slots require engine-hacking.

I'm aware of the 25 slots before the generation III pokemon begin, but what/where are the others it is talking about?

Also, has any knowledge been collected on how to modify and/or add natures?

 

[Tharghana]

I need some help here, IS There a Way to Edit the Pokemon Types, now, let me say this clearly, NOT the types of Pokemon, the Types THEMSELVES, like Change Dark-Type from being immune to Psychic. If there is a way, Some help would be appreciated.

 

[Spookyghost]

As above poster said. I'm also interested in doing this, is there a way to insert/add new types?

 

[Xatoku]

Is there a way to view tilesets so you can use them for your own hack?

 

[Pokepal17]

Is there a way to view tilesets so you can use them for your own hack?

Only by looking in a map which is made from that tileset.

 

[Xatoku]

So you can't save them for your own hack?

 

[Pokepal17]

So you can't save them for your own hack?

You can rip them from the ROM if that's what you mean.
Just go to the block editor and click on picture -> save tileset (1 for the first one used in the map, 2 for the second). Then save it and you have your tileset.
