Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[Blackpanfa]

OK - Lanzar and FLOOTENKERP I hope this helps your compiling issues.

So, you've got your script e.g.

#Dynamic 0x800000

#ORG @RoadClosed
Lock
FacePlayer
Msgbox @Sign 0x6
Release
End

#ORG @Sign
= ROAD CLOSED\pSorry for any inconvienience.

Now you click the open button, and select your ROM. Now you click the two gears, that is the compile button. If you get a message saying somthing about parameters, go to the line and correct the error. If you wrote

message @([I]pointer) [/I]
boxset 0x6

and it doesn't work, do this

msgbox @([I]pointer)[/I] 0x6

hope it helps your compiling issues, =)

 

[FLOOTENKERP]

thanx blackpanfa! is there a tutorial here on script commands and how to use em? if there is could you link me? thanx for the help.

 

[Shadows]

I'm new at this...I need help to compile in XSE, i choosed the rom and the script and pressed the compile button and then the little square showed up. Now, where's the script offset?

If you are using XSE correctly, you should have inserted an offset here:

The offset you enter should be the one the script compiles on.
If you are using advanced map, enter the offset on the script/person event here:

(The highlighted area.)

 

[Lanzar]

Hmm...I don't get it =/
So i choose the script offset myself? And then I press the compile button?

 

[Blackpanfa]

Okay, Lanzar and FLOOTENKERP. Script offsets are very easy with the right tools. Here they are:
-XSE
-FSF (Free Space Finder) link:https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=85025

First, open up XSE and FSF: Now go to FSF:
Open your ROM

Then select search from offset(1), in the box beside it put 800000(2), hit search(3)

The white box should have a 6 character number, this is your offset.
select the one you want(any of them is fine) and click COPY.

Now, in XSE, paste your offset into the first line, after:

#[I]dynamic 0x[/I][[B]OFFSET HERE[/B]]

Now your script has an offset. And don't worry about free spaces there are literally millions.

If you still need help, I highly reccomend Rai Rai Kun's XSE tutorial:https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=146174
Or Darthatron's(not complete but still helpful):https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=128125&highlight=darthatron

And for a LIST OF COMMANDS:
-Use the guide that came with XSE called, wait for it... Guide.
-Or thethethethe's POKESCRIPT tutorial, although it's in Pokescript all the #raw numbers and command lists are the same. https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=128887

Well, I hope that helps your problems! ;)

 

[Shadows]

Make sure you search for free space in an offset first.
There is a free space finder in advanced map, and there is also one in HackMew's Toolbox.

 

[Robert Conley]

what does this mean?

So I am trying to use the shiny hack maker to insert a shiny pokemon. When I looked at the example scripts I got confused. It shows this:

WildBattle:
#org 0xOffset
callasm 0xASMPointer
wildbattle 0xPokemon 0xLevel 0xItem
end

My question is what is the line callasm 0xASMpointer for and what do I put there?

 

[FLOOTENKERP]

dude thanx blackpanfa your a life saver. if my hack goes anywhere (which it probably wont) ill give you credit. thanx again.

 

[HackMew]

Thanks for the help. I tried that, it didn't work, I looked at similar scripts in Viridian and Pallet, and discovered that the unknown setting needs to be 0003, not 0030. I tried that out and now it works perfectly.

Looking at similar scripts is always a good idea, indeed.

Hack of: Pokemon Emerald
Scripter: Pokescript

Once I talk to the npc he should disappear after the fade screen. Problem is...it stays black instead of returning to the game.

#org $move

I'm wondering why you're using the showspritepos command, with too less parameters anyway...

If you want here's the fixed - and working - script, I've used XSE:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
applymovement 0x01 @move
message @Who 6
fadescreen 0x1
hidesprite LASTTALKED

fadescreen 0x0
release
end

#org @who
= Who are you?\p\c\h01\h05I'm...\p\c\h01\h02No I don't care\n so long as you get out of here.

#org @move
#raw 0x56 0xfe

The script works but whenever I step on it a 2nd time the script plays again
so how do I make it to where the script can only be activated once

You're checking the wrong way flag 0x828. Which isn't set anywhere in the script. So the script is repeated over and over again. Also, do not forget to update your copy of XSE, which is outdated. Here's the fixed script:

i really really need help with XSE. I haven't learned a thing. I really want to script but I dont understand any of the compiling and format and stuff. Can anyone help me with that? I 2would really appreciate it.

Next time try reading the guide that comes with the newest XSE. It explains anything you need to compile a script. Don't forget there's the Command Help too, just press F1.

Make sure you search for free space in an offset first.
There is a free space finder in advanced map, and there is also one in HackMew's Toolbox.

Please update your copy of XSE, okay?

So I am trying to use the shiny hack maker to insert a shiny pokemon. When I looked at the example scripts I got confused. It shows this:

WildBattle:
#org 0xOffset
callasm 0xASMPointer
wildbattle 0xPokemon 0xLevel 0xItem
end

My question is what is the line callasm 0xASMpointer for and what do I put there?

The offset where the shiny hack routine was inserted + 1.

 

[FLOOTENKERP]

kk. thanks hackmew! im sorta getting used to scripting but still working the kinks out.

what do you mean by the offset+1? I get the offset part but what does the +1 mean? answer please!

 

[Lanzar]

I fixed my problem with the offset thing...
Okay, another question, how do I make a script like this: if you win against a trainer, he will walk 1 step to the right and 3 down?

 

[~Poke~]

what do you mean by the offset+1? I get the offset part but what does the +1 mean? answer please!

Well, you get the offset, then you add 1
Example: offset = B8F6D8 (no idea whether there is one like this or not)
B8F6D8 + 1 = B8F6D9

 

[Robert Conley]

Well, you get the offset, then you add 1
Example: offset = B8F6D8 (no idea whether there is one like this or not)
B8F6D8 + 1 = B8F6D9

If the last number is 9 do I just go back to 0? If I use the shiny hack more than once in a single rom hack do I Keep using the original offset+1 or do I add another 1 for every new shiny hack?

ive tried following what you guys have said and the script compiles fine but when I try to talk to the pokemon to initiate the wild battle the emulator freezes.

 

[Jack Olero]

I'm trying to make a script where when the player passes over a tile, he says something to himself then moves. However, when I walk over that tile ingame, it just freezes.
