Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[LaDestitute]

I'm using a separate fresh firered rom to test my scripts, so I don't have to worry about fubaring my own project.

Are you sure you didn't make a mistake or something in the edited version? When I step on the script events now, either I get a game freeze or nothing happens. Yes, I'm compiling to the fresh rom, and using the offset 800000 for the script events.

 

[Spherical Ice]

You need to set the Unknown on the Script tile to 0300 (or just 03 in 1.9.5) in Advance Map and the Var number to an unused variable - I tend to use 4050.

Okay, thanks, it worked fine. :D

Although, some questions.
What does the Unknown value do?
How do I get the NPC to actually move to the player's front position, say if they step on the left or right script event instead of the middle one? It looks a bit odd with the NPC moving to the middle, otherwise. I could just have one script event, though, I guess. That works too, I'm just curious.

The unknown is just a staple. I never use it and things usually work fine, but it is something that Game Freak used on theirs as far as I know.

There is a command called playerfacing(?). That will get the players direction and you can run different scripts based on it or you could force the player to look in the direction of the person that is moving.

 

[Spherical Ice]

Yeah, the unknown is just there for consistency's sake - it is also used in warps.

If you have multiple scriptboxes and want the NPC to walk up to you... uh, it's just easier to show through example:

Spoiler:

#org @set
lock
setvar 0x4001 0xX (1 for first scriptbox, 2 for second, etc. this is a temp var, it resets after leaving the map.)
jump @main (your main script)

#org @main
compare 0x4001 0x1
if == call @comp1 (if 0x1 is set then call this. "comp1" stands for "comparison 1")
compare 0x4001 0x2
if == call @comp2 (if 0x2 is set...)
compare 0x4001 0x3
if == call @comp3 (if 0x3 is set... and on and on, for each scriptbox you have)
pauseevent 0x0
--your script ---
release
end

#org @comp1
applymovement 0xX @move1 (should move sprite X to put sprite in front of player according to the first scriptbox -- you have to define @move1, @move2, @move3, etc., yourself)
return

#org @comp2
applymovement 0xX @move2 (should move sprite X to put sprite in front of player according to the second scriptbox)
return

#org @comp3
applymovement 0xX @move3 (same as other two)
return

Check out your rival's scripts. They do it too, and it might be easier for you to understand if you actually see it in action.

 

[Overheat]

Since I don't have the patience to read through 327 pages of questions I don't know if this has been asked yet but How do you give the player character the National dex early in the game?

 

[LaDestitute]

Another question, how do I make it so with the givepokemon command, have the Pokemon given have a specific OT and IDno (or is the IDno randomly generated? Not sure) and/or nickname?

Edit - Overheat, please use the search function next time, before asking.
To award the national dex, use this:
special 0x16F

 

[Spherical Ice]

It involves ASM, using data found in this thread in R&D. I'm not very good at ASM but I could maybe do this.

 

[LaDestitute]

Can someone proof-check this for me? I'm using a compare variable to set different NPC movement depending on variable value (with the three script events sharing the same variable, but different values) but it's not working as I thought.

This means the script will only not activate if the player has one Pokémon in their party - use checkflag 0x828 instead.

if 0x1 goto @continue
goto @nopokemon

#org @nopokemon
compare 0x4000 0x1
if 0x1 goto @nopass0
if 0x2 goto @nopass1
if 0x3 goto @nopass2

You need to add the compare line everytime.

#org @continue
release
end

#org @nopass0
applymovement 0x1 @move3
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @1 0x6
applymovement 0x1 @move4
waitmovement 0x0
release
setflag 0x200
end

Release always goes before end, without any commands in between.

#org @nopass1
applymovement 0x1 @move1
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @1 0x6
applymovement 0x1 @move2
waitmovement 0x0
release
setflag 0x200
end

#org @nopass2
applymovement 0x1 @move5
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @1 0x6
applymovement 0x1 @move6
waitmovement 0x0
release
setflag 0x200
end

Again, release goes directly before end.

#org @move1
#raw 0x62 
#raw 0x1D
#raw 0x1D
#raw 0xFE

#org @move2
#raw 0x11

#org @1
= I can't let you pass because you\ndon't have any Pokémon.\pIt's not safe to go out without\nat least one.

So, the fixed script would look like this:

To be honest, you could save a lot of space by using the call command for the nopass parts but this will work.

 

[LaDestitute]

I tried using the call command, but I kept getting errors from debug.

There is a nice little search feature up in the top right hand corner. Search this and the Simple Questions thread since it has been answered..... Far too many times.

 

[Varion Bluefire]

C+P'd from RHO.

So, I'm trying my hands at scripting, using XSE

This is my script:

"#dynamic 0x2A28C8
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Hello world!"

I've put the offset 2A28C8 which i got from FSF into aMap on the event person i desire.

When talking to this person, nothing happens.

What do? :/

It sounds like you're using an outdated version of XSE. Try using version 1.1.1 which was the most recent update.

 

[Spherical Ice]

On another note, you could save space by doing this:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
msgbox @string1 0x2
end

#org @string1
= Hello world!

msgbox 0x2 automatically includes the lock, faceplayer and release.

Guys read this script

#org @talk2

I inserted it to an event and when i checked it out its not working
Just a msgbox appears with no text.Any help would be appreciated
Also can any one teach me abt these cmmands as i have not understood completely :

checkflag 0x828
if 0x1 goto @done
msgbox @talk1 0x6

It sounds like you are using an old version of XSE. You need to have v1.1.1. Also, what commands exactly need an explanation?

checkflag 0x828
if 0x1 goto @done

 

[Aryan143]

checkflag 0x828
if 0x1 goto @done

This checks that if the flag 828 is set or not. If yes, it continues onto @done
