[Script] PLAYERFACING? [Emerald]

[Karl]

Facing a problem with my XSE script. I wonder if anyone could help me. I'm hacking Pok?mon Emerald.

My plan is to get the player to jump in a direction depending on where they are facing when they interact with the script.

I'm using an orange signpost script in AdvanceMap (not a person event or green tile), and I'm getting the @failed message when I compile the following script:

Spoiler:

#clean
#dynamic 0xB9B9E6

#org @start
lock
comparefarbytetobyte 0x2036E58 0x1
if 0x1 call @up
comparefarbytetobyte 0x2036E58 0x2
if 0x1 call @down
comparefarbytetobyte 0x2036E58 0x3
if 0x1 call @nope
comparefarbytetobyte 0x2036E58 0x4
if 0x1 call @nope
msgbox @failed 0x6
release
end

#org @up
msgbox @prompt 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto @ju
release
end

#org @nope
msgbox @no 0x6
release
end

#org @down
msgbox @prompt 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto @jd
release
end

#org @ju
pause 0x10
release
applymovement 0xFF @jumpup
sound 0xA
checksound
waitmovement 0x0
end

#org @jd
pause 0x10
release
applymovement 0xFF @jumpdown
sound 0xA
checksound
waitmovement 0x0
end

#org @prompt
= There is a small gap between the water.\nWould you like to jump across it?

#org @no
= Sorry\hb0\nYou can't do that now.

#org @jumpup
#raw 0xD
#raw 0xFE

#org @jumpdown
#raw 0xC
#raw 0xFE

#org @failed
= Script error.

I'm 99% sure the comparefarbytetobyte value of 0x2036E58 is wrong (I copied this from a working FR script but have no idea how to find the right value).

I have tried copying var 0x8000 and comparing, and I've also tried the standard PLAYERFACING command, but both don't work on an orange script box (on a person event it works fine).

If anyone knows a way to get this to work I'd appreciate it!

I have ran into a similar problem before. I don't know if this will work in your case, but you could try having the script check the player's X-Y coordinates ("getplayerpos" command) instead of which way they are facing.

Try something like this:

getplayerpos 0x[Variable to store X] 0x[Variable to store Y]
compare 0x[Variable X] 0x[X-coordinate in Advance Map]
if 0x1 goto @next

Thanks for sharing this method (and your Stabilizing Emerald tutorial), it's working great for me!
