Script doesn't work? Pokescript/Pkmadv/AdvanceMap1.92

(Programs being used in this Pokescript / Pkmadv / AdvanceMap 1.92)

I've been trying to make a script to give a Eevee as a starter for my rom (I've made new maps and warps so Pallet Town is no longer existent in my rom as I want to redo everything).

All of my scripts and flags thus far are working okay except for the one to give me a Pokemon.

It's mainly based on flags which all seem to work fine. It's just a issue of actually receiving the Pokemon and the ball disappearing.

If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.


Talking to the Aide in the lab initiates the event: (Working as far as I know)

#org $AideTalk
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x1200
if 0x01 goto $AlreadyTalked
message $StartFirstPokemon
$StartFirstPokemon 1 = Professor Willow told me that\nyou would be coming by.\nShe said you can have the\ppokémon that she left on the counter!
boxset 6
setflag 0x1200
release
end

#org $AlreadyTalked
message $GoodLuck
$GoodLuck 1 = Good luck on your adventures!
setflag 0x1201
boxset 6
release
end

The Pokeball Script: (Text & script that makes you talk to the aide works, however I don't recieve the Pokemon and the ball doesn't disappear)

#org $FirstPokemon
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x1200
if 0x01 goto $FirstPokemonDone
message $NotDone
$NotDone 1 = Perhaps I should talk to\nProfessor Willow's Aide first!
boxset 6
release
end

#org $FirstPokemonDone
lock
faceplayer
message $talk
$talk 1 = Here's a Pokémon!
boxset 6
givepokemon 133 5 0x8B
removesprite 1
release
end

EDIT: I figured out why I didn't receive the Pokemon, However the issue with the ball disappearing is still there.

Thanks in advance.

You need to set a flag when you want the ball to disappear and then put that flag's number into the 'Person ID' of the ball in Advance Map. If you set the flag that is attached to the ball then it should disappear forever, unless you clear that flag in a later script.

Also, I'd advise against using PokeScript as it was made years ago and can be buggy at times. You should use a script editor that was made more recently like XSE.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me? If this requires inbox, I'd love it! I want for a character to run to me and talk to me, any ideas!

It's called scripting.
Download XSE, a great scripting tool to date.
DrFuji provided a download link two post below this post o'mine.
After, read scripting tutorials in the Tutorials section.

It sounds like you don't have the latest version of XSE. Try downloading this one, compile your script with it and see if it works.

Whoa, it worked! Thanks alot DrFuji! Really appreciate your help! :D



Sorry... but I have encountered another problem :x

The text and the battle is alright, but after battling the pokemon, the npc does not disappear even though there is the hidesprite already.

EDIT: I changed hidesprite 0x800F to hidesprite 0x0B (person event number 11) but it still remains the same...

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Hidesprite is pretty buggy command.
You should use applymovement and waitmovement with commands that make sprite disappear and move it to somewhere else.
And also... use higher flags ;) 400 or something =)

Please help! Having scripting troubles as a starter... I have simply remodeled the scene in CERULEAN CITY where you encounter the bridge and your rival appears and battles you.

Here is the remake:

All I have done is take the things from CERULEAN CITY and dropped them here, expecting the same thing to happen.

When I walk to this spot, it completely freezes the game, but the music plays normally:

What is my problem?

Here is the script I'm using (same from Cerulean City)

Please help me fix this problem!

New problem, + fixes!

I copied everything, absoloutley everything!

But still, Gary doesn't appear but I battle him, like so... + there is no music (no rival theme)

I'm guessing I have to pair the script with the rival, and how is this possible?
Even when we're are about to battle he is know where to be seen;

What's going on? Thanks!

One thing that stands out for me:

movesprite2 0x8 0x17 0x0

Is this the correct co-ordinates or is this copy and pasted from the original?

As to the music, I'm not entirely sure why it's not working.

The reason your script didn't compile was because the dialogue went onto another line. I've fixed it in the spoiler above.

[Mallowigi]

I have a movesprite issue:

I want my character to start the same way as Crono in Chrono Trigger, e.g. starts in his bed with his mother waking him up.

Everything went fine, except that I use movescript at the beginning of the script to move the character in the bed (also, if someone knows how to start from a black screen I'd be glad to hear), but once the script ends, my character is "translated" to the position specified by the movesprite, and thus bumps into the room walls even though he is a lot far from them.

Is there a command to "recenter" the camera? Thanks

I decided to use my older copy and am currently back to where i was when i lost all my progress :/

anyways, i am having trouble finding a tutorial on making a rival battle script, one that changes the trainer used based on certain events (mainly which starter was chosen)

i did not see it in this tutorial but may be mistaken. thanks for any help

(i already searched google and could not find any help)

Look at an example script from the game itself. That should help you get an idea of what you need to do.
