Hey guys.
I'm trying to make a givepokemon script for my hack.
Version: Firered
Editor:XSE
The problem I have is that each time I try to compile it with the Batch Compiler i get a message that says #org/#seek directives not found. I looked earlier on the thread, and I saw a similar error, but the only problem in that person's script was that they used @dynamic instead of #dynamic. I have looked through my script, and I have no idea what I did wrong.
Here is the script:
Spoiler:

If anyone can help than I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

um, try putting this:

Code: 
#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
[B]lock
faceplayer[/B]
checkflag 0x828
if 0x1 goto @done
msgbox @1 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto @take
msgbox @2 0x6
release 
end

#org @take
givepokemon 0x41 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @3 0x4

msgbox @4 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 gosub @name
msgbox @5 0x6
release 
end

#org @done
msgbox @6 0x6
release
end

#org @name
call 0x1A74EB
return

#org @1 
= [player], I want to give you a gift\nfor your birthday.\pThis was my  prize pokemon\nwhen I was a trainer.\pWill you promise to take\ncare of  it?

#org @2 
= Well if you're sure...

#org @3
= You received Alakazam!

#org @4
= Would you like to give a\nnickname to Alakazam?

#org @5
= Take good care of Alakazam.

#org @6 
= I can see you're taking good care of Alakazam.

Thank you both for your replies. Zeffy, if that is not what the problem is, than do you know why I keep getting the #org/#seek directives not found error?

Note: for those who have not read my original problem, it is two posts above this one.

Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry, I meant after. I edited my post. :>
For the solutions, look at ^'s and ^^'s post.

This is using PKSV if you didn't know. :classic:
 
I made a script, not sure if it works because I haven't compiled it yet.
I first wanted to have it checked by people who are more advanced in scripting.
Spoiler:


If there's sopmething wrong with the script let me know pls, if not also let me know because then I know if I can compile it or not :D
 
It's not "message", it's "msgbox". And put "0x" infront of every numeral that's hex.
Spoiler:

Try compiling it.
 
Spoiler:

The script works fine, but it won't let the player go at the end.
I'm not sure what the problem is.
Oh, and it's a level script.
 
x Necromorph x said:
Ok, lol I know ive been asking a lot of questions, but I made a level script off of this givepokemon script
Spoiler:

Its supposed to move the player to your mom and she gives you a pikachu, it is supposed to activate after this script
Spoiler:


In a tutorial for level scripting I was reading, it said I had to add setvar 0xvar 0x1 to the second script to make it activate the level script.

The reason I am posting is because that did not work.
How do I make an even happen after another on a diff map?
Also would my scripts work with the situation?
"You try to leave town.. a guy stops you and brings you to your house, when you walk in your mom tells you a pokemon was left for you, and she gives it to you. After that, shes back to her regular "you look tired, take a rest" thing""

Thanks!

Anybody wanna give me some help?
 
At the beggining of the game, you set a variable to 0x1.
You set the script tile to some script that makes the person go to the house, you unset the variable, the level script executes, you set it back to 0x1, and bam! There you go! ;)
 
Wasn't sure whether I should post this here or in the Simple Questions thread, so I settled for here. Prepare for a long post...:
Over the past several months, I've made numerous attempts at learning to script. I used the search function, and found the necessary tutorials for XSE. Through reading the tutorials and trying out everything I read, I figured it wouldn't be too hard.
A problem arose, however, and to this day it holds me back. I've read the tutorials so many times by now that I know various scripts off by heart, such as basic message scripts, and Yes/No scripts. But they don't work.
I'll explain exactly what I do. I have the ROM open in A- Map, with XSE set as the scripter (when it asked how offsets were separated or whatever it asks when you choose it, I said "No"). I have the newest versions of both XSE and A- Map. Anyway, I use A-Map's Free Space finder, and search for 50 bytes, usually. I copy the offset (for the sake of an example, it'll be E3CF64 here), and go to the NPC/script in Events viewer, pasting the offset there. I click "Open Script" (or whatever that button is labelled). When XSE opens, it already has written:
Code: 
---------------
#org 0xE3CF64
I erase all but the '0xE3CF64'. I then type a script. For here, I'll do a Yes/No script, because these give me the problem.
Code: 
#dynamic 0xE3CF64
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @technology
boxset 0x5
if 0x1 goto @yes
if 0x0 goto @no
release
end

#org @technology
= Do you know about technology?

#org @yes
= You do?\pIsn't it incredible?

#org @no
= You don't know?\pThat's... Pretty lame, sorry.
I hit 'Compile' and the window pops up with about 4 different offsets at the bottom. The one that's highlighted automatically is '@start', so I hit 'Copy', then I paste that back in A- Map where the original offset (that I'd found in A- Maps Free Space Finder) was.
I hit 'save' in A- Map, and open my ROM in VBA. I go to the NPC with that script, and talk to them. The first message, along with the Yes/No box appears, but when I select either Yes or No, the first message repeats, and the text box doesn't close. I have to talk to another NPC or enter a house to make it disappear.
I've tried this on a Ruby, FireRed and Emerald Rom, and got the same results for each. I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me if they know what's going wrong. It could be something totally stupid, but it's got me stumped for ages, and is really halting progress on my hack. When I decompile the script, under "Strings" there is only the first message, and the script often has a 'showcoins' command for some reason- in fact, in FR when I tested it, after selecting Yes, '0 Coins' showed in the text box, but overlapping the previous message as opposed to erasing it.
When I am typing in the Raw Text for the messages, I usually leave a single blank line between them- is this wrong, and could this cause the problem? Again, I'm truly stuck here, and need all the help I can get.
Thanks for your time, if you felt compelled to read this whole 3000 characters +. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You're a tad behind on times, Eoin. Boxset hasn't been used in XSE for a while now. Messages are formatted like such now:

Code: 
#org @start
msgbox @msg1 MSG_FACE/0x[w/e]
end
Also, with your yesno script, you're not comparing anything so the script won't work. You'd need to read from 0x800D/LASTRESULT:

Code: 
msgbox @msg1 MSG_YESNO
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 goto @yes
compare 0x800D 0x0
if 0x1 goto @no
Also, @yes and @no are pointers to further parts in the script and won't work directly as messages. If you wanted a message you'd have to add this into the script:

Code: 
#org @yes
msgbox @msg2 MSG_NORMAL
release
end

#org @no
msgbox @msg3 MSG_NORMAL
release
end

Hope this helps you grasp that concept more. If you want to go in-depth feel free to PM me. n_n
 
just a question how do i set where a person goes after they loose a battle. for an example (well this is actually my plan) you walk in a town got to the next route get some thing go back to the town then go the other route and then some one battles you. that all works but when and if you loose you go your home town which is before that town, before the route with the battle and your home town is where you are meant to go after you win the battle some my problem is i want when you loose the battle to end up in the pokecenter before the battle not the home town and with out having to go into the pokecenter as well

Use the

sethealingplace

command. sethealingplace is set up in Pokemon Centers, so it will only activate once you've visited that town's Center, not the town itself. You can always put the command in the header for the town, though, I suppose.
 
hey, can someone please tell me how to make a script of an event pokemon so that the pokemon cannot be caught and the only way it dissapears is to defeat it..?
 
^I have not a clue^

Can some help me.. I made a level script and I want it to activate AFTER i talk to another event. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks

What you would want to do, is set a script before you enter the map, say, if your variable is 7000, you would put a script setvar 7000 0x1, which would stop the level script from happening. Somewhere else, you could add setvar 7000 0x0, which would make the level script happen next time you enter the map.
