Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[metapod23]

Does. Not Work. I have no idea what is going on with this script! ._."

Because I'm nice, I tested it myself and figured out what the probable problem is. Try removing the script that already exists in Pallet Town, the "02" one that's set to 4050. Then open up the map script offset and change #raw word 0xffff to 0x0, recompile and test.

Also, since I got the script to work when I did this, you should know you forgot to re-position the camera so it wouldn't be off-center when the script ended. :)

Is there a way to permanently hide a person after a flag is set? So that every time you enter that map, the person is never there?

Yup, it's simple. Just have a setup like this:
hidesprite 0x1 (or whatever his event number is)
setflag 0x1000
And set the sprite's Person ID to 1000. That will permanently hide the sprite, unless you clearflag 0x1000 or use the showsprite command.

I tried that, and he still appears after the script is over and I re-enter the building.

Okay, I FINALLY got the event going, but I can't make it happen only once, and when I put set/check flag, it doesn't happen at all. What do I need to change?

because you should be checking if the flag is 0x1 not 0x0. 0x0 means not set.

 

[_That_One_Guy_]

I was editing some scripts. Absolutely everything was perfect, all I did was change some spoken text. Then, after compiling, it deletes the text or replaces it with "HNA?". It is very confusing and I even tried switching script editors and I get the same error. The main example is the starter pokemon script. I click on one of the three pokeballs (person events) and open the script. I change the names to the pokemon I'm using in every spot. Then It might keep one or two of the text screen but there is always atleast on messed up.

I had it as that before, but I changed it to see what happens.

But the real problem happens when I compile it. When I open the script in advancemap, it looks like this:

Haha relax. I"m assuming you want to hack fire red.

1. Download a Fire Red ROM (google for it)
2. Download Advance Map v. 1.92
3. Download Visual Boy Advance (gba advance emulator)
4. Get a script editor (I recommend XSE by HackMew) and read this guide
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=164276
5. Snoop around this site a lot, and you will learn lots of things. Visit the Toolbox threads to get some cool hacking tools.
6. Check out other people's hacks to get a feel for it.

I think that's probably enough to get you started! :D
There are a ton of tutorials that people have made, so read up on those too.

Rule #1: Use XSE. So short and easy to remember it doesn't satisfy the 25 letter limit. -__-

And put spoilers please.

 

[Quilava3]

Yeah, but the problem is with XSE is... It's too complicated. I can't really understand all there is to it. thanks though :P

 

[PeregrineFig]

Just from one look, I MAY have found the issue (I use XSE though, so this is more of a guess): You have \v\h02 at the beginning of the dialog box, which stores a variable-set buffer text. The rival's name is stored to \v\h06. I know the game has weird results when it tries to display an empty buffer.

 

[Quilava3]

okay, thanks! I'll try that. :)

YOU'RE ALOT OF HELP!!! IT WORKS NOW!!! THANKS!!! I don't know why it didn't work when I had it at \v\h02? i've been using that for the last 3 months and it never did that... ANyway, thanks alot! I appreciate it!!! :D

Change the person id to 1000 in advance map.

[armageddonsnipe]

hi again, is there a way to turn off auto-decompilation or something? because everytime i open a script, it is already de-compiled (even if i didn't click the button)

 

[Xnenai]

I was just wondering if some one can explain to me how to use the "pokemart" command, and following that command how to set the amount of items i want in the shops, along with the prices i want the items to be.
Im only a semi-noob/low intermediate scripter (like check/setflags mixed with yes or no scripts and giveitem scripts etc)
P.s I searched this thread using the search function and I did not find anything i was looking for. Google also half failed cause the sparse amount of descriptions there were short and didnt help.
