Is it in any way possible to writetooffset a variable?

[Glaceon69]

Scripting for Fire Red with XSE, and I want to write the value currently stored in a variable to an offset, in the same manner as writetooffset. Is this possible, even in a round about way?

Store it in a 0x8000 series variable, and then use the scripting command copybyte.

 

[Glaceon69]

Thanks, but what offset would I use in the copybyte command for that variable?

 

[BluRose]

copyvar 0x800X 0x[yourvar]
copybyte 0x[youraddress] [0x020270B8 + 0x800X * 2] ' so 0x020370B8 if using var 0x8000, 370BA if using var 0x8001, etc.

note that you can't actually write to ROM space

Oh, well that certainly throws a wrench in my plans. Is there any other way to overwrite wild and trainer pokemon levels through scripting? Was planning to just directly overwrite them in the trainer/level scripts.

um
no, not reallt
if you feel up to the task, you can comb through this and check out his level-loading routine and modify it to your usage

i can check into it a little bit after school maybe sometime assuming i don't do robotics tomorrow or something :P

I have zero experience with ASM, but I'll start looking into it. That link looks a bit out of my league though.

Going in a different direction... I see that enemy pokemon information is stored in RAM.
Could I edit their level there?
Would that data be accurate in the OW at any point, or only during battle?
If only during battle, is there a way I could change it at the start of/during battle?
