[Script] [FireRed] Roadblock script

[Dragonite2963]

So I'm new to using scripts, is there a script for moving the player back one tile and telling them it's unsafe to go somewhere if they don't have a Pokemon yet? Thanks!

Here's my script so far, the message shows but the player isn't locked or moved anywhere. Is there something wrong?

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x800000
lock
msgbox 0x8800020 MSG_NORMAL '"It's dangerous in the grass \nwith..."
checkflag 0x240
if 0x1 goto 0x8800013
'---------------
#org 0x800013
applymovement MOVE_PLAYER 0x88000F6
waitmovement 0x0
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x800020
= It's dangerous in the grass \nwithout a Pokémon!


'-----------
' Movements
'-----------
#org 0x8000F6
#raw 0x0 'Face Down
#raw 0x10 'Step Down (Normal)

Here's a version of your script that should work with comments explaining why:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
checkflag 0x828 // Since you only want the roadblock to be active until the player has a Pokemon, you can just check the flag that activates the Pokemon option on the main menu
if 0x0 goto @block
release
end // Always add an end command whenever you want a script to finish. In your script, the script would always run-on into the @block part even if you had a Pokemon because of this.

#org @block
msgbox @talk 0x6 // Move the text down here, otherwise it will activate even then the player has a Pokemon
applymovement 0xFF @move
waitmovement 0x0
release
end

#org @move
#raw 0x10 // You don't need to include #raw 0x0 as the player automatically faces down with 0x10
#raw 0xFE // You need to finish movement commands with #raw 0xFE

#org @talk
= It's dangerous in the grass \nwithout a Pokémon!

When you're using script tiles, its generally better to use variable rather than flags. This is because variables can automatically deactivate script tiles so that they no longer trigger and you won't get some annoying issues, like the player stopping for a brief second of time every time they walk over the script (which is very noticeable when on a bicycle). I'd suggest checking out the script tile segment of this tutorial to learn how to use them effectively.
