[Other] How to follow

[ps2314]

At the beginning of the game in Fire Red you follow professor Oak to his lab. How can I make a person the character must follow?

This is pretty simple if you know how to do apply movement scripts. Do you know how to do apply movement scripts? If so, I can walk you through it.

Otherwise, look at this bit from Diego's tutorial:

kay now, no more sidetracking. Let's look at the movements. Let's look at the script without anything but the applymovements, pause and waitmovements. This leaves us with this:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
applymovement 0x04 @move
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0xFF @move2
pause 0x30
applymovement 0x04 @move3
applymovement 0xFF @move3
waitmovement 0x0
release
end

#org @move
#raw 0x62
#raw 0x12
#raw 0x12
#raw 0x12
#raw 0x12
#raw 0xFE

#org @move2
#raw 0x03
#raw 0xFE

#org @move3
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13
#raw 0xFE

The first two applymovements are in a completely normal setup.
ie. applymovement 0xXX @YYYYYY
waitmovement/pause
But let's look at the next set of movements. It's set up differently. We have two applymovements before we have some sort of pause. What would happen if I did that? They would both move at the same time. This is sometimes referred to as "follow-me." With a "follow-me", we can use as many applymovements before the pause as we want. This can be useful if we wanted a "group" to walk together. We can have three, four, five, six, or however many you want in a "group". I think that's all there is to the applymovement command.

Well, to continue-- Applymovement, applies movement to NPC and to your player.

For your NPC
Applymovement 0x(Person's event number)

Applymovement 0xFF (FF Is the player itself)

good luck! (:

There are two good script editors - PKSV (a bit older one but has a good tutorial

and some useful in-built scripts) and XSE (newer, more popular,widely used and

comes with list of all scripting commands)

For PKSV:
-search pksvuiscripting.weebly.com in google
-go to "PKSV lessons > FireRed/LeafGreen version > movement

For XSE:
-follow the code snippet given by machomuu
-you will find the entire tutorial (I call it tutorilla and you will find out why) in community forums- ROM Hacking > Tools,Tutorials & Resources > "Starting out, tutorial directory" by teh panda
