[Script] My script won't trigger the event upon stepping on the tile

[Tachj]

My goal with this script is to have a simple interaction with the player and the npc in the room when stepping on the tile once. I have tried this without using a script tile, (instead placing the script on the npc) the flag and the script worked as intended. However, I want the script to trigger when the player steps on the tile. When I place my script's offset on the script tile then proceed the test it, my player freezes in place. The in-game music still plays but, the script doesn't activate leaving me stuck on the script tile.

Extra Info :
I've set the affected npc's person event to 1
I've set the set the script's offset to match the @start offset given to me every time i use the batch compiler on XSE
The npc's person ID is 6000 just like the flag
My Advance Map is currently v1.95
The rom is Pokemon Ruby

Script for the script tile : (Before it is complied)

#dynamic 0x0800000

#org @messageSix

I am a novice in rom hacking so, If I'm missing anything or if any more information is needed to help please ask, Thank you for reading this.

Im pretty sure u using flag 6000 is ur problem...there is a list of usable flags somewhere on pokecomm u can use instead of 6000...from 200 to 2ff there are plenty of usable flags that are free to use. Check them out, if u cant find it, google fire red free flags and vars

Alright, so looked up a list of safe pokemon ruby flags. I chose to use 0x3DF as the new flag, recompiled the new script set the new person ID on the npc and set the script tile's new offset. When I entered the room to walk over the tile, the Npc had now disappeared and the script tile no longer locked me in place when i step on the tile. I tested this without flags just in case and the result was the same as the original script's (locked in place). I also tried replicating the same situation on fire red with a simpler event (without flags) and I was locked in place again.

Well anytime u use tile scripts u need a var equal to the value that the var is currently set to...it is not necessary to use any flags, but a var is a must, and u must know the value it holds at the time to the tile activation...as for ruby, there's not much known about ruby, u should stick to fire red or emerald, i think things work differently on other versions

I have now altered my script to work with variables. I changed setflag 0x6000 to setvar 0x6000 0x1, the var number on the script tile to 6000, set the Person ID on the npc to 0, deleted the check flag and goto lines along with @motherOne's lines and set the new offset on the script. The npc is back but, the script tile now has no effect when I step on it (not even stuck in place). I will continue to do more testing with this in hopes that things might improve but, If it is the rom itself that is the problem then I'll be sure to try a different rom.

I think I'm at a loss here. I've now used pokemon fire red to make a script tile with a very basic event.

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
msgbox @message 0x6
end

#org @message
= Hi.

The result was the exact same as the result in the original script (frozen in place with the game/music still playing). I don't think this error/bug is in the code or in the advance map (1.9.2/1.9.5) anymore. Is there any other condition that needs to be set outside of the rom that maybe affecting new script tiles?

Try using vars 0x4011- 0x40FF (but don't use 0x4020 - 4025, those are pedometers) also some vars have specific functions, see: This thread for those vars.
Others are unsafe to use, also make sure your script tile has a var assigned to it, keeping it at 0000 will freeze your game.

Yea dont use vars that high up either, follow what child amnesiac posted...
