In Ruby, how can i change the poxedex given be already national? What's the special for it?
 
I'm having some trouble with my script. For one, the people I move, they don't appear, they're just invisible. Second, when the script finishes, you take control of the guy standing next to you and his palette is messed up. WHat went wrong? Oh yeah, it's XSE.

Okay, I admit to being a newbie to scripting.
You appear from the intro screen and the script starts when you walk forward (into the script), the person talks to you. I have got most of it but it seems that you have to get the PokeDex first then talk to the person.

Here it is:
Spoiler:


It is done on XSE, all i need help with is to make it so that the person does not give you another Absol when you talk to them, turns to face you when you step forward (into the script) and make it so you don't have to get the PokeDex to obtain the Absol.
Can someone please point out where I have gone wrong, what i need to fix and help me please?

The script itself looks pretty ok to me. Did you use dynamic offsets when compiling this? Or did you just compile the hard coded offsets like you placed it here? You may have overwritten some game data which could explain the bugs you end up with.

I suggest you try putting it on a backup version of your rom with dynamic offsets starting at 0x800000. After compiling it you will get a list with the offsets so you know which one to use in advancemap.

Shouldn't you put a checkflag or checkvar command at the beginning of the script?

By the way, the script now calls the following: If the flag is 0x1, you goto to the pointer in which you get an Absol. If the flag is 0x0, the man/woman says he wants to give you an Absol. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't make sense to me, really. :-\

Go to XSE > Help > Guide > Appendix > Specials > R/S Specials. Oops, I see there is no national dex special there. Well then I don't know. Diegoisawesomes tutorial doesn't have the special either. Maybe you should decompile a script from ruby. When you complete the Hoenn dex you recieve the nat. dex right?

Anyone on my question/problem:

First of, I want to make one thing clear: I just started scripting some hours ago with givepokemon, wildbattle etc. scripts. So I'm a biiig n00b.


Game: Pokemon Ruby
Type: AXV
Editor: XSE

I wanted to insert a person that heals your Pokémons into the Petalburg Cave (Yeah, cave)

Well, I don't really know how to make it work, but I've tried this:

Code: 
'-----------------------
#org 0x6B2418
msgbox 0x6B2418 '"It is hard to get through\nthis..."
callstd 0x2
fadescreen 0x1
special 0x0
fadescreen 0x0
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x6B2418
= It is hard to get through\nthis cave.\pLet me heal your POKéMONS.

From what I know of, fadescreen 0x1 fades the screen, and 0x0 unfades it. And special 0x0 = healing. But when I compile it, it just says:

Code: 
'-----------------------
#org 0x6B2418
cmdC3 0xE8
nop

I have done something wrong, I know. But what it is... I'm completely lost. Some help would be apprieciated.



Furthermore, I found this script in Pokemon AshGray (A hacked FireRed made by Hirakuanh ... dl.poke-mega dot org/pokemon-ash-gray-1-65 ...) and edited it a little, just to see, if it would work. (Then I will make another one that looks kinda the same, just to prevent extreme credit-madness. Of course I will still give credit.)

Code: 
'-----------------------

The script itself just doesn't activate. NOTHING happens, when I step on the green S-tile. Nothing. The Game froze before, but now nothing happens. The ID of the mom is 002C, the var-number is 6061 (Is that the problem?) and var-value 0000. When I compile it and open the script again, only the part from #org 0x6B16AC to applymovement MOVE_PLAYER 0x6B2618 is left. Everything else is gone. What do I do wrong? And how do I find out what the movements in Ruby are?

And can somebody please send me a link to XSE download? The one I have is outdated (I think..) And all the links I find are outdated too.. Or maybe I'm wrong, but better be safe than sorry.

1. Are you sure you've got a right offset with enough space? Do you use FreeSpaceFinder? It happens to me sometimes too, just try to find another offset. Check the size of the script in Windows Explorer or similar. Always take a few ten bytes extra.

2. I'm not able to find a major mistake in your second script. Maybe the flag 1006 is already turned 'on'. You should add a msgbox under the "if 0x0 goto..." line. Type something like "flag 1006 is 0x1" and you will know for sure when playing the game.

3. You can update XSE by clicking Help > Live Update. It works better than downloading a new version.
 
1. I have downloaded FSF some days ago, but never actually tried it. I might give it a try in a few minutes.

2. Hm.. I'll try the messagebox. If that doesn't work, I'll take a look on the flag again.

3. Okay, thanks.


Thank you for your answer.


Okay, now everything is intact when I save (Found a offset with enough space).. Everything seems to work when I save it.

I changed var-number to 4050 and unknown to 0300 and now it works (d'oh)

But.. The sprite of my mom is visible all the time. She is standing on the staircase. But she doesn't move. The 'hero' is the only one that moves. And the message is displayed twice.. D:

First of all, what is the person event number of 'mom'? In your script, you use 0x1 when using msgbox, and 0x14 when using applymovement. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think those have to be the same if they apply to the same overworld.
And when exactly should 'mom' be invisible? To make her invisible, you should set the flag, which matches the Person ID of the overworld. But I can see you got that already. Does 'mom' has to be invisible before/at the start of the script? In that case, the flag/Person ID should be set before the script (preferrably before you enter the map).
I have absolutely no idea why the message would show up twice. That remains a mystery :P
And a few other things that might bug: I think you should use 'clearflag 0x...' when using 'showsprite'. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not completely sure about this. Add 'waitmovement 0x0' after the 'applymovements'. (Sometimes you missed them?)

So:
- Check the Person Event Nr. of 'mom' and correct if needed.
- Be sure you set the flag of 'mom's Person ID before you enter the map (or you would have to work with level script which are complicated and do not work best in these types of scripts).

I hope I could help.
 
Haha, I found the reason to why the script worked uncorrectly.

The moms event number thing is 15. So I had to write F, and NOT 15 into hidesprite.. Hex, not decimal..

Do anybody know why this script doesn't work?

Again, Pokemon Ruby, AXV, XSE.

When you go to the Cutter the first time, he will be mad at you for wearing shoes, then take your running shoes (Clearflag 0x860) and push you outside. (I've got some other scripts to write, so you have to get them back, and can't leave without them).. But when I write that into XSE and compile it, it just turn into

Code: 
'---------------
#org 0x6BB844
checkflag 0x2002
if 0x0 goto 0x86B2744
'---------------
#org 0x6B2744
gotostd 0xA

That doesn't make sense..

I've used like five different offsets, all with about 1500 bytes of space.. So it should not be cut down to that. Or am I wrong?

I'm afraid I can't help you with that. Maybe someone else.

I'm in need of help myself right now, actually. It's this level script. It used to work fine. However, something bugged with inserting new level scripts in other map, so I had to delete and reinsert the offset a few times. Somehow, I managed to fix that and reinsterted the script. However, now it freezes at the end of the script. I'm afraid it's something with the movecamera script, or the special managing it.

I had that issue as well. In advancemap, make sure the 'unknown' number is set 0003 and the VAR number is 4050.
 
Okay, so I changed a script to add in an extra legendary battle, and now all of a sudden, any event sprites that should be invisible until a certain flag is triggered (i.e. Oak before you try to walk into the grass, the Silph Scope before you defeat Giovanni) are all visible, and I don't have any idea why. ;-;

It would be helpful if you included the script you used in your post.
 
The only thing I can see wrong with it is that on line 3 it should be

compare LASTRESULT 0x1 not 0x2
 
Script help @.@

Spoiler:

I need help with this script. Just playing around with the yes/no part for the pokemon either gives Charmander on Yes and No, or gives no pokemon on Yes (creating an infinite loop). Also, when the nickname screen appears, the picture and pokemon species name is "?". Can anyone help with these two problems?
