Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[mattattack]

I need help again with the script I changed the offset (using freespace finder) for 800000 (here they gave me that number)

but now I don't know how to set it should the mom script go on the mom or a green S thing when I go down stairs I need help!

 

[Crocky]

This script makes the game freeze. Can someone fix it? Thanks
#Dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
givepokemon 0x395 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x829
setflag 0x828
release
end

I answered this in the Simple Questions thread where you seemed to post it as well, but I'll answer it here as well.

You are NOT giving the player a Bagon, instead you are trying to give him/her pokemon # 917. That does not exist. Change 0x395 to 395. Since you are trying to use Decimal, remove the 0x's
BUT, I would use HEX if I were you, and just go with using 0x18B, which will give you Bagon, okay?

omega can you help me with my question?

 

[FoggyDoggy]

omega can you help me with my question?

Get the Offset of the #org @Mom part. XSE tells you when you insert the script into your ROM where it put it, if your ROM was clean, and you put it in 0x800000, you should make a green S in A-Map, and put in your offset in it. Then, be sure to make the Unknown setting to 0003, and the Var Number setting to 4050. That should work.

uhhhhh say what now?.......

 

[FoggyDoggy]

uhhhhh say what now?.......

Ok... I am going to stop you now, since I know you need some help on this. Instead of asking your questions here first thing, I can pretty much help you become a better scripter really simply. All I need from you is patience and willpower. Now, if you do not have the most recent XSE, get it, it can be found in the 'Toolbox' Section, in HackMew's Toolbox.

Next, I want you to open XSE, and then press F1.

This will open the XSE Comprehensive Guide.
I think before you try to script, and even read some of the more advanced tutorials here, you should go through that entire help file, starting with lesson 1.

I can almost guarantee with 100% certainty that after reading all of it, you will have a clearer view on scripting.
You have to actually have the patience to read all of it though. It is very helpful though, the guide tells you:

• Understanding the Hexadecimal Number System
• Using XSE, and 3 other very useful hacking tools, including how to successfully insert scripts.
• And Much More!

If you read it ALL, most of your questions will be answered. Take my word for it. But you gotta read ALL of it, even if you read it in sections, you gotta read it ALL, no matter how boring it may seem, okay?

lol, wall of text.

Erm I have this trainer battle script and after you have the battle the player is uncontrolable but the camera is moving?

#Dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
trainerbattle 0x0 0x2F5 0x0 @before @after
msgbox @beaten 0x6
release
end

#org @before
= Watch out!\nHere come some serious BUG\lPOKéMON!

#org @after
= No worries! There's always next\ntime!

#org @beaten
= You just wait 'till I evolve these\nlittle guys.

 

[mattattack]

ummmmmmmmmm no offence dude but don't you mean F2 not F1 and I'm sorry if I'm making you mad

I changed the message box type, but be sure the sprite you have set as a trainer as is not set to "look down" since that may cause this to happen, instead, if it is a stationary enemy, and you want it to look down, set it to "No Movement"

Also, release was not needed. Test the newer script out, and make sure you check those settings I tild you about in A-Map

 

[Xatoku]

Damn, still didn't work. It doesn't make sense either. It works for all of my other trainers.

 

[FoggyDoggy]

Oh yeah, lol, F2... XD, no you are not making me mad, I am just giving you a helpful suggestion. I seriously would read the whole thing though.

Hmm... I dunno... I don't really ever run into this problem, so I dunno who to fix it really... I hope someone else can help you though, I hate seeing someone not get any help...

Alright I fixed it, turns out that the tile he was on wouldn't let the player move after, I have no clue why but thanks for your help anyways :D

I seem to have got overlooked xD

 

[FoggyDoggy]

I seem to have got overlooked xD

First of all, how's about you insert that there script into a suitable area in the ROM.

0x800000 is a good place. (Since you already tried inserting, you will have to restart with a clean ROM) You NEVER want to insert anything before 0x800000 just to be sure... (I know there is some free space in like, 0x770000 or something like that, but 0x800000 is the safest.)
Insert your script there, and then test it.
(Also, you might want to use dynamic offsets....)

 

[Xatoku]

Is it possible to hide the player's sprite and move it while it's hidden, so it shows up in a different spot?

Yes, there is a movement command.

That doesn't answer my question XD Can you move a sprite while It's hidden?

I answered this in the Simple Questions thread where you seemed to post it as well, but I'll answer it here as well.

You are NOT giving the player a Bagon, instead you are trying to give him/her pokemon # 917. That does not exist. Change 0x395 to 395. Since you are trying to use Decimal, remove the 0x's
BUT, I would use HEX if I were you, and just go with using 0x18B, which will give you Bagon, okay?

Thank you!! It works now.
