FireRed BADGE 5 0x824
FireRed BADGE 6 0x825
FireRed BADGE 7 0x826
FireRed BADGE 8 0x827

Those are the flags that you need to get the pkmn menu etc. Just type setflag 0x###

As for your other question i dont know what you mean. .-.

Unless you simply mean how do you make the sprite disappear after already interacting with it. Then it would be something liek this.

checkflag 0x####
if 0x01 goto @____
hidesprite 0x## (the person event number in a map)
setflag 0x####

noteL setflag must be the same as checkflag.
I also dunno if this works copletely but thats how i Use it and it works for me so yea..
make sure to set the Person ID number to the flag numer you used.

basically, use flags...

Your using sapphire/Ruby? If so i gave you the wrong codes so wouldnt matter. As for where you put the lines of code, I wouldn't know, for some reason I don't understand XSE decompilations of scripts, but i guess I could try, someone more experienced sould do it tho.

#define RS_PKMNMENU 0x800
#define RS_POKEDEX 0x801
#define RS_POKENAV 0x802
#define RS_RUNNINGSHOES 0x860

#define RS_BADGE1 0x807
#define RS_BADGE2 0x808
#define RS_BADGE3 0x809
#define RS_BADGE4 0x80A
#define RS_BADGE5 0x80B
#define RS_BADGE6 0x80C
#define RS_BADGE7 0x80D
#define RS_BADGE8 0x80E


.-. ill see what i can do.

If you wanna be better at rom hacking, learning how to script would be a great benefit O_O learned that myself.

Hey guys, I'm looking for the offset of the script when you select a new game.. the one that starts with "welcome to the world of pokémon..." let's you select your gender, your name, etc..

So not the text offset, the script. If someone could pm it to me, that would be awesome.

You need to edit that with a-text. You have to use the search function then save it to the ini and edit in a-text.

But that way I can only edit what is being said.. I want to edit the script itself! Skipping the rival name sequence, and changing some of the shown sprites with others already in the rom...

Skipping the rival naming sequence can only be done via ASM. While changing the sprites in the intro can be edited via Unlz. Editing the text can be done via a HEX Editor or A-Text. There is no script for the intro, its programmed into the game and not scripted into the game.

Set the person ID for the things you want to stay invisible after the script runs to a flag that is set during the script.

I have a question about background/behavior bytes. Hopefully this is the right place for it.

I inserted a new map in Pokemon Emerald and decided to give it weather - cloudy with sun. The clouds are supposed to be reflected only in water. I noticed that the clouds are reflected in some other tiles, like the bottom tiles of trees and the bottoms of houses. These tiles have a background byte of 10. When I change the background byte to 00, the clouds are no longer reflected, but now the top of my character's head is under the tiles when he stands against trees or houses. (In both cases, the behavior byte is set to 00.) Is there a different behavior or background byte I should use in this situation?

See what the original ROM does? =|

Funny thing is, none of the maps in the original ROM seem to have weather - except for the underwater routes, they have 'underwater mist'. It's odd, because Route 119 is rainy in-game, but when I go to Header, it tells me the weather is 'regular weather'. I have a feeling that all the in-game weather is caused by a script. Route 120, for instance, is 'cloudy with sun' - but only for the lower half. The top half has no weather. That suggests the weather isn't an inherent map property.

Hey, This is a stupid question maybe, but I'm looking for the command in PKSVUI for "hidesprite 0x2", I tried "disapear 0x2" but it recognizes neither of those. What is it?

Man, this is harder than I've ever worked in actually looking into the ROM.

Taking Route 220 as an example - it has three weathers - clear, rain, and sun with cloudy reflections. Looking at the scripts shows nothing - there are a whole lot of scripts where the weather changes, but they're all pointing to $000000 and they don't run.

So what are they for?

Setting off the level script that runs a whole bunch of checks - namely, to find your position on the map, so it can set the weather; turning rain on, turning rain off, turning clouds on, etc. Try it yourself - open the route up in A-map and follow it down, then up, slowly, in the game. Note where the weather changes.

Also, Route 119 seems to be rather curious. Nowhere I can find does it tell it to rain, which I'm pretty sure we all remember it was when we played through it. Thing is, when I go back...it doesn't. It doesn't rain. It only rains that first time you visit the route, and I've got no idea how it does it.

Curious indeed, but I hope I've helped.

Can someone help me with this script. I've tried about everything! The batle works perfectky but when i tried to rebattle it it gave me the message, "no trainers are in range..." though he was right here. I even tried editing an existing script with this original trainer (0x59 aka Youngster Josh, who loves his shorts) but again nothing! Am I missing something?

Holy crap, you're right! Route 119 doesn't have rain! XD It's funny how I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. If I knew the first thing about scripting, I would definitely look into this, but I don't, so...thanks for your help!

Anyway, I think I've figured out how Nintendo gets around this problem. Their trees have only one layer, the background. My trees have been block edited, so they have two layers, and that top layer is interfering with the player sprite's hair. There's no way around it. I guess I'll just have to choose a different weather effect.

The script seems fine. No errors, as far as I see. Btw, you cannot re battle someone DIRECTLY after you battle him. You should wait a little bit, then use the seeker. I'm sure you know it. Sorry if I couldn't be of any help.

OK... I created a script, this:
#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
msgbox @msg1 0x6
givepokemon 0x4 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x828
setflag 0x82F
setflag 0x829
giveitem 0xD 0x5 MSG_OBTAIN
giveitem 0x4 0x5 MSG_OBTAIN
special 0x16F
end



#org @msg1
= Renny: Take these [player]!

Now, that is meant to be a GREEN (You know, a script script) script in Advance Map. But, if I try it in VBA it will stay there, and activate again if you walk on to the same area again, even though the script is finished. Can somebody help? D:
