1. You forgot to add lock and faceplayer. Your movement scripts will still work, this just allows the NPC to look at the player while a message is occurring instead of adding an extra movement command.

2. Your setvar needs to be at the top of the script.
Also, it should be set out as: setvar 0x6000 0x1

3. Jingle isn't a real command anymore.
The commands are sound or fanfare.

4. Applymovements use #raw, NOT #binary.
E.G
Code: 
applymovement @example
waitmovement 0x0

#org @example
#raw 0x03
#raw 0xFE

5. All value commands must be written in HEX.
The ones I'm pointing out to are:

fadescreen 1
removesprite 3

Make sure they are written in HEX so:
fadescreen 0x1
removesprite 0x3
pausemove 0x0 (waitmovement in XSE)

6. Have you written the setvar value in A-Map?
Also have you changed the unknown 2 digit number to 03?

Also I would recommend to use XSE. XSE uses more of the real commands that Pokemon can understand, but it is down to personal preference =]
Hopefully, all these points will help!

It sounds like you've been trying to make a level script.
You need setvar 0x???? in your script for it to work when you enter an area.

You have also not set a box in your message.
msgbox @talk
callstd 0x6

XSE doesn't use callstd anymore and it's not used as a boxset.
To have a boxset, you need to put the boxset at the end of the msgbox command.

Code: 
msgbox @talk 0x6

XSE does know the command end.
I use it all the time (you have to otherwise a script won't work)
What version of XSE have you got?
The commands I gave are for XSE because I stopped using PKSV because it was just to complicated to get the scripts to work...
So far I see nothing wrong with your script.
Have you added the setvar in A-Map?
 
#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
setvar 0x1
checkflag 0x1000
if 0x1 goto @nothing
lock
faceplayer
applymovement 0x03 @move
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @talk 0x6
setflag 0x1000
release
end

#org @nothing
release
end

#org @move
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13
#raw 0xFE

this is what i added after your advice Natw VonGrimm
but when i want to compile it, it displays this message

Erorr 13 'Type mismatch' on line 4.
Missing #define or parameter.

Line: setvar 0x1

That line is incorrect because you've set a value to be assigned (0x1) but you haven't said which variable it should be assigned to. Just think of a variable like a flag, instead, rather than being either off or on (0x0 or 0x1), it can range from 0x0 0xFFFF. You construct a setvar command like this:

Code: 
setvar 0x[variable] 0x[value]

Also, you need to know how to make a level script (i.e a script that activates the instant you walk/ warp into a map). This tutorial will certainly help you to recognise the features present in a level script and how to insert it correctly because it differs from an average green 'S' script tile.
 
i did everythig that tutorial said, and nothing happened!
and so i decided to use the exact same one that guy did and nothing happened!
this is getting extremely frustrating!

Hey i figured out the problem
I just downloaded a new XSE and it worked.. strange huh?

You forgot to add the setvar variable.
Code: 
setvar 0x???? 0x1

I started from 0x5000+

Old XSE is eXtremely outdated so it doesn't tend to work anymore.
Good thing you downloaded the new version =]

okay well i have another problem!
It is a grunt and he is supposed to say mind your own business and push me back. but all that happens is he pushes me back without saying anything

note: this is only the segment of the code that is relevent

#org @done
msgbox @1 0x6
applymovement 0xFF @move
waitmovement 0x0
release
end

#org @1
= Hey!\pMind your own business!

Everything seems to be right... Maybe try putting a waitmsg after the msgbox?

Now, I', pretty sure this is something ridiculously simple that I should know (despite how horrible at scripting I am), but I've been making a slightly modified version of Emerald and need to make it so that after beating the Elite 4, Mirage Island and the Lilycove Department Store Rooftop Sale will become activated and stay activated. How could I go about doing this?
 
Fire Red /// XSE

Whenever I step on the spot meant to trigger the script, "text1" will display correctly, but the exclamation mark causes the game to freeze as the first letter of the next line, "t," displays. I'm using Advance Map 1.95 and I have the first Unknown set to 03 and the Var number set to 4050. Setting the other unknown to 0300 did not help. I have the first unknown set to 03 because I checked the earlier Advance Map and changing the first Unknown to 300 caused the first Unknown in the version I use to change to 03. Any help would be appreciated.

You forgot to add waitmovement 0x0 AND the last raw command 0xFE.

the thing is, it takes about 2 hours to insert a script into my game, because my computer is slow. I am working on inserting it right now and see if there are any other problems. I also see a problem with my FIRST picture I uploaded (one of the first posts on THIS page). I set the *unknown* 4 digit number to 0003, instead of the 2 digit *unknown* number to 03.

about the XSE problem, I downloaded the newest version, and I copy and pasted a XSE script that someone posted. Everyone said the script worked fine with XSE, but when I hit *compile* it still gave me the same message "Unknown command end at line 6". what do you think is the problem?
Click to expand...

TWO HOURS???? Holy....
Your supposed to set the 2 digit unknown value to $03.
The 4 digit unknown value stays at $0000.

I can't honestly answer your question. I don't think anyone has heard this issue before. XSE must know the command 'end'. Everyone uses it... =/

I can only think of deleting XSE completely, making sure there's no trace of it on your computer (including settings.ini), re-download it again and try it again.
If it does it again, then contact HackMew. I'm sure he will know the answer considering he made the program.

my setvar in my script is 0x6000 0x1. What number would I put into the var value in Amap?

also, thanks for the info above.

You would put 6000 into A-Map.
The 0x1 at the end just tells the game if the script is going to happen once or repeat.
So 0x1 would only make the script happen once.
If you wanted the script to repeat until you clear a flag, use checkflag and change 0x1 to 0x0.
 
Okay, I've been looking into editing the contest stats from JPAN'S hacked FR, but the code has kind of got me confused and I'm having trouble understanding what did what in the explanation in the manual. I'm still on the pretty basic level and am unfamiliar with a bunch of these commands, but I still tried working it out. Is this how the script for changing a Pokemon's Cuteness value (and not doing anything else) would be written?

Alright, I am using a ruby rom, but INSTEAD of pokescript I used XSE. Again, it is a script box problem. the point is when you step on it, a person moves 2 tiles left and ends the script. however, when i step on it nothing happens!

Spoiler:


I attached pics and here are the values:

Var Number: 0405
Var Value: 0000
Unknown: 0300
