[Script] Reappearing pokemon event?

[ChaosSigma0]

(I hope this is in the right place...) Greetings, fellow humans.
I've been working on a romhack of my own, on and off, for a few months now. And now I've got to a point where I'm stuck...

I'm using Advance Map and PKSVUI. Here's the code:

Spoiler:

#org 0x87410EF
'-----------------------------------
lock
faceplayer
cry MEW 0x0
waitcry
pause 0x14
battle MEW 10 LUMBERRY
lastbattle
fadescreen FADEOUT_BLACK
disappear LASTTALKED
fadescreen FADEIN_BLACK
setflag 0x1110
msgbox 0x87CEE1A ' The Mew flew away[.]...
callstd MSG_LOCK ' Built-in lock command
copyvarifnotzero 0x8000 FLUFFYTAIL
copyvarifnotzero 0x8001 0x1
callstd MSG_FIND ' PLAYER found one XXXXXX!
release
end


#org 0x87CEE1A
= The Mew flew away[.]\lHuh? It dropped something[.]

When the battle is complete, the screen is supposed to fade to black and back with the pokemon gone, some text, and an item 'dropped'. But as soon as I take another step, it appears again in the same spot! Interacting with it again repeats the whole thing over again.

I just don't know what went wrong.

Please help, I'm not exactly well-versed in this scripting business as this is my first romhack. I'm good at designing maps, but scripting looks like a pain.

Did you have it set a flag, and then give the npc the flag in AM?

I don't remember the right flag range off the top of my head, but it's possible you didn't use a safe flag. I don't recall ever using 1000+ flag range, I'd double check that those are safe. Most safe flags are between 200-400 I think, the ones Nintendo usually uses.

Or what the other person said, you didn't give your NPC a character id that matches your flag.

Flags above 0x1000 actually point to vars.

You need to set a flag at the end of your script, then place the same flag at Person ID in A-Map.

I always use 0x1200 and up

 

[ChaosSigma0]

Thanks for the info, you guys! ^^

I did forget to set the ID for the event sprite in Advance Map. And just so I don't accidentally screw something else up later on, I'm using a flag reference list I just found here.

And I'll take longlostsoldier's word for it, and use the flags around 0x200.

 

[Pinta87]

I'll have to take a look at that list. I'm a little rusty
