[Script] [Pokeemerald] Calling C/ASM routines from inside scripts.inc?

[hjk321]

Hello,

I am trying to invoke a custom C function of mine through an event. However, I have not found a way to do this. Is this possible? Do I have to register my function in a special way, like make a custom command or something? Even if I don't *have* to, if I'm going to be calling this a lot would it be better that way? How would I go about that?

Thanks.

you can use callasm for custom assembly functions. Adding your function the special table would essentially be the same, unless you needed the special2 function with the extra argument.

Thanks for your help, although I was actually talking about the pokéemerald decomp ??????

I did find the answer though. There is a command called callnative that lets you put any function name as an argument and it will run that function. You may want to add a waitstate depending on the command or the script will end before the command does!

Example script: (SaveGame is an internal function in start_menu.c)

devtest_savegame::
lock
callnative SaveGame
waitstate
release

Callnative is the equivalent of callasm.

The other alternatives would be to make a script command, or to set your code as a special.
