Hmm, after reading foullump's post, I agree with him, a random would work... but it would make the tides go in and out at random, not like on a schedule, like in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald...


If you would want to use a clock, you would need to use R/S/E...

But before you do any of this, you may want to start with the basics.
Go to the toolbox section of the site, and download HackMew's XSE tool.
(Found in the thread called HackMew's Toolbox.)
Get that, open it up, and read the guide that comes with it.
It is an extensive guide on many of the things you need to know to become an intermediate scripter.
It might seem boring at first, reading from begining to end, but trust me, knowing all of the terms, and the way the tools are used, really helps out in the end.

I mean, it would be much better to learn how to script for yourself, and be able to think, "Wow, I just made this all on my own, I feel proud of myself."
Wouldn't that be nice? ^_^
And I don't suggest using PokeScript.

Okay, thanbks for the advice. I have made a few scripts myself, but I was using PokeScript. Personally, I find it easier to understand, but I'll try using XSE. Thanks for the advice. I had already downloaded XSE, just not used it much, I'll go read that guide now. (:

Good, and in reality, there are not many differences between PokeScript, and XSE, except XSE has MORE commands, and some commands are either spelled differently now, or have new functions, or both!

Trust me on this, reading that guide will help you a lot on learning XSE. Once you ahve that down, try learning more stuff from the tutorials around the forums in the Documents and Tutorials section. With that scripting knowledge you get from the guide, learning more stuff will get easier!

 

[Mr. GT]

After reading this comment I managed to make Prof. OAK give me the National Dex ASAP.

Decompile the prof. script and see where it gives you the Pokédex. Then all you have to do is to make a new script and add the proper commands to enabled the National Dex.

Now I didn't understand why you needed to make a new script when you could just add the Special 0x16F flag in where the old one was. After [re]compiling the script everything worked fine except for one thing, the textbox look wonky (See Signature, though I had to repost because it wasn't showing up before =/). I was wondering how can one fix this?

I'm also wondering about the fact that if I have to make a new script to do the same thing, would this script work.

Well when I had the same problem I just recompiled the script to a different offset.

What's the script for this, MSG_KEEPOPEN? Like what i the 0x thing, 0x???, 0x4,

 

[Worldslayer608]

I just finished an attempt at a level script and it isn't working quite right. It plays through the first half, warps me to the map, then the script ends, it never goes through the second part of the script that is supposed to be the level script.

On top of the second part not working, the special 0x136 is not working either, it should shake the screen with an earthquake, but it doesn't

Hm....I'll try that.

What's the script for this, MSG_KEEPOPEN? Like what i the 0x thing, 0x???, 0x4,

That was from the original Prof. Oak script, specifically the part where's he give you the Pokedex. I believed a comment somewhat that mention taking that part out and compiling it into a new script (with adjustment, etc..).

Nevermind that.

Umm in this code, after the trainerbattle, the rest of the script doesn't occur? I'll bold what doesn't happen.

It should work this way: When you pick yes, you'll get you Pokemon and the text will go off. When you talk to the guy who gave you the pokes, he will say........................................................go away....... but instead when i pick yes, this happens:

Well, first of a, scripts for Pokéscript don't support the ';' and the 'Begin', shoulden't be there since you've already got a begin as a start pointer.

It could be that your overwriting a other script
then i think you have to use FSF to find a new free space.
And then compile it again.
