It isn't helping:

Now It does tottaly nothing but nothing. However It did glitch up one of the clouds.

However, It does really weird things when I revised the script after compiling :

Some strings came out of nowhere, and where did give money come from XD?

I hope you can help. :chu:

Revising a script after compiling can cause some major problems and make funky things happen. This is because when you compile XSE writes it to the ROM, and when you try to make major changes that take up more space originally used by the script, it overwrites things that have already been written to. Say, for example, we had this:
Spoiler:

XSE writes the @start, then right after it on the lines of hex it writes the @1.
Hex looks something like this:
AF 01 0D 23 54 60 60 87 9B
Msgbox takes eight byes of space. Then our text takes up more bytes.
00 00 00 00 00 00
Now say we were to add to the already compiled script:
Spoiler:

Then it takes up more space that originally, but it has nowhere to put it. So it tries to overwrite the text, but it's already written and has a pointer to it...
So you end up with jumbled garbage like yours.

Simple solution: Make the necessary changes and just compile it at a new offset.
Or, even better: It you have foresight and know you're bound to mess up, you'll have made a backup copy of your hacked ROM. Just copy it over the one you messed up and try inserting it again.
Note: You can make changes to an already compiled script that take up less space, or simply change something (like changing applymovement 0x1 to applymovement 0x2.)
 
I'm having trouble with this script which is a give pokemon script that also gives the Pokemon option in the menu.
The problem is that when you pick up the pokeball that contains the pokemon it stays there and allows me to get infinite copies of that same pokemon.
Can someone help me fix this? Help is much appreciated.

It depends on where you want to add text.

Read the guide that comes with XSE if you wanna learn this.

I just gotta say, a bit of advice for everyone.
READ THE GUIDE THAT COMES WITH XSE!
It gets annoying when people post problems that are easily fixed by reading the XSE guide, that is released WITH the program!
To read it, simply press F2 while XSE is open, OR, go into the folder XSE is in, and double clock the file "guide.chm"

If you read that, then smaller problems, like the one above, will be out of the question, and your understanding of XSE will be much greater.
 
Right, time to repeat my last scripting problem since I still need help with it. I tried deleting the signpost events for those problem scripts, then set about making new ones. Worked fine at first, but once again, the exact same problem has occured. This is how it looks ingame:

Spoiler:


What happens is, the scripts are fine, in XSE and Advance Map, then for some reason one of the scripts on the map decides to disappear, and one has those funky letters after it.

The scripts look like:

First Script
Spoiler:


Second Script:
Spoiler:


Third Script:

Oh, and I checked the various XSE guides, they have nothing on what to do. This is for Fire-Red.

I'm having a bit of dificulty with this script. The mom is supposed to move right 1 then up two. (with a couple of turns in there). You are then given Ralts, and if you care to know what is said, you can read it. What happens instead is when you step on the spot, the game freezes.

I believe the 0xFF should be 0xFE at the end of the movement, that should fix it.

Derrick ~

Look at the battle Rayquaza/Groundon/whatever scripts already in Emerald for assistance

PaulH~

Maybe the offsets are already in use? No idea.
 
I found them using the Free Space Finder tool, so they shouldn't be really.. hmm..
 
What is wrong whis this script? Plz help!

I think this is your problem line:
"givepokemon 0x318B 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0" Go check out the XSE tutorial and look up Give Pokemon scripts.

Kalsar-
Sorry I don't know ><

Don't use such a low Dynamic offset. Use #dynamic 0x800000.

Indeed, 0xFF should be 0xFE, but also, XSE doesn't use the $, instead it should be @.

Same here as for PaulH: Use #dynamic 0x800000, otherwise you'll maybe overwrite important data.

OMG... where the heck did you learn scripting?! Except the error, the whole script is screwed up badly. Besides.... read the damn messages... Missing dynamic lable on line 33.
What do we have on line 33?

Code: 
msgbox @yay 0x6

Fine, but @yay is nowhere in the script! Here's the proper script, don't forget to read the rules before posting. Thanks.
