I just recently started scripting so forgive me if I'm doing this completely wrong.

I'm trying to make a script that won't let the player walk pass a certain point until he gets a Pokemon.
It's just supposed to make the player move 1 space left and display a message saying you can't go into the tall grass without a Pokemon.

#org $script
lock
message $warning
$warning 1 = I shouldn't go into the tall grass without a POKEMON..
boxset 6
applymovement 0xFF $move
$move 1 ; #binary 0x02 0xFE
pausemove 0x0000
release
end

But it this script just crashes my game and I don't know why.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and help me out? Thanks in advance

#org $script
lock
message $warning
$warning 1 = I shouldn't go into the tall grass without a POKEMON..
boxset 6
applymovement 0xFF $move
$move 1 ; #binary 0x02 0xFE
pausemove 0x0000
release
end

What program are you using? I use XSE, and if you don't any my help doesn't work, sorry.

First off, things like $warning and $move should be moved down under the original script (put in #org $warning and then the message, and #org $move and then the action.)

2. Moving. After #org $move, use #raw instead of #binary. The 0x02 and 0xFE work ^^

3. Instead of pausemovement, use waitmovement.

4. If you want to wait to make them get a pokemon, you need to check the givepokemon script for a setflag code. If you're directly replacing the Oak stops you script, you'll have to dig around (or ask another question) for the flag number.

That should cover it.

Now, my question: Whats the variable or flag for Oak giving you a pokemon? If no flag or variable, how (in directions, not code) would I change it so a script like above would click off when Oak hands you a pokemon?

I use poketscript not XSE but i don't think it matters.

Ok so do you mean I should put this?

#org $warning
message $warning
$warning 1 = I shouldn't go into the tall grass without a POKEMON..

and then do the same with $move?

Sorry I'm very new at this I'm still learning.

And I'm going to add the checkflag after I get this part of the script working

Now, my question: Whats the variable or flag for Oak giving you a pokemon? If no flag or variable, how (in directions, not code) would I change it so a script like above would click off when Oak hands you a pokemon?[/QUOTE]
[FONT=Segoe UI]The Flag is 0x828. That activates the Pokémon menu when you are given a Pokémon. So you would use it like this:

[I]givepokemon PKMN_CHARMANDER 0x5 ITEM_ORANBERRY
setflag 0x828
//[/I][/FONT][I]fanfare 0x13E
[FONT=Segoe UI]//msgbox @received_poke 0x4[/FONT]
//waitfanfare
release
end[/I]

The "//" indicate optional, but optimal commands for a givepokemon script.

And the easiest way to check off whether Prof. Oak gives you a Pokémon is to use Setflag, or if you're advanced, setvar. But setflag is easier to understand.. So you pick a flag (eg. 1000) and use it: "setflag 0x1000".

Now, just doing that is just... useless Lol. You'd have to check it with checkflag; 

[I]checkflag 0x1000
if 0x1(true) goto @gave_poke[/I]

Simple enough, right?

Using XSE over Pokescript does matter.. It's the amount of help you'll get as a beginner, and the ease of using one as a beginner. But you're choice is your choice. Right click, compile in Notepad < XSE compiling on spot with one click of a button

[B]#org $warning
 $warning 1 =[/B] I shouldn't go into the tall grass without a POKEMON..

This would be right. But I'll allow romancandle to help you more, because I don't know pokescript that well. :\

 

[panthers4091]

Do certain flags not work? I tried using the numbers 7 and 900 among others in the person ID field, and the person did not disappear after a setflag line (yes I had a hidesprite working).
Then, ONLY changing the flag and ID to others (20, 28, 29, 2A), it worked perfectly.

That's exactly how it is. Some of the flags, are used by the game already.
Check you're XSE guide to see which ones are in use, meaning anyone not listed, is available to you. And there are many..

 

[NarutoActor]

this is not a script help this is a simple question
check pksv flag list maby it was already set

As Cooley kindly pointed out:

#org $warning
$warning 1 = I shouldn't go into the tall grass with a POKEMON..

This is the correct way to do messages. The 2nd $warning (left of the 1) is not necessary, but it won't hurt (from my experience). You'll need to expand the first #org though. Like this:

Spoiler:

#org $start
lock
message $warning 0x6
release
end

#org $warning
1 = I shouldn't go into the tall grass with a POKEMON..

The 0x6 makes it a normal textbox message.

Move Script:

Spoiler:

The move script will look like:

#org $move
#raw 0x02 0xFE

or

#org $move
#raw 0x02
#raw 0xFE

Both are correct, and if you use the first style, when you compile the script to the ROM, at least in XSE, it'll automatically convert it to the 2nd style.

Let us know if you need help with the flag part too ^^

 

[trebornosliw]

Well, it's been awhile since I posted here...
Alright, this is a very, very basic XSE roadblock script. The only problem I have is that the applymovement doesn't work, so there's really no point to the script. I've already set the unknown and var number to the correct values (0003 and 4050), so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Script:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @noleave
checkflag 0x1001
if 0x1 goto @done
msgbox @notyet 0x6
applymovement 0xFF @stepaway
releaseall
end
#org @done
end
#org @notyet
= ...better see Gardevoir first...
#org @stepaway
#raw 0x10
#raw 0xFE

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Ya don't have waitmovement 0x0 after applymovement.

end

#org @done
release
end

#org @notyet

#org @stepaway

Well I kind of fixed your script, with some advice from Ash493. So try it now.

 

[trebornosliw]

Okay, I'll try it that way. Thanks!
EDIT: LOL, Cooley, you know better! The script worked alright, but you added setflag! It's a roadblock, so I don't want to setflag with this script. Bad Cooley!
Seriously though, thanks. This was enlightening.

For these kind of trainerbattles, with the script continueing after the battle, I always use trainerbattle 0x1 instead of 0x0, and I think that's your problem. Try the changes made in bold that I added to the above script and see if that helps.

And the problem is..?

I suggest using XSE, as more people understand it = more people can help you with it.

I made a script tile after oaks door
When I go through that door, nothing happens and when i step up and down, the game freezes...

I made a XSE script too:

On the script tile set the first Unknown to (I think) 003 and the Var Number (1st one) 4050. Should work.

Okay, so I'm not a big Pokescript fan, but I've used it before and I think I can see a few problems with your script. Changes in bold. Remember to always use hex numerals, I think that's the issue here.
Also, you might need to seperate your move command like a msgbox, but I'm not sure (you do in XSE...)
Seriously, change to XSE. It's way better, and very, very easy to learn if you already know Pokescript.
...Yeah, don't know enough about Pokescript to change more than that...

Oh, this is the same thing. In XSE. Cool. :)
I take it you extracted this from the game. When you edit and reinsert this, copy, paste, and compile it. DO NOT try to decompile, edit, then recompile it.
Umm, why are the targets for applymovement different in both scripts?
By the way, if you apply the changes above, the script will work if you step onto it after entering the map, but it still will not work right when you enter the lab. For that, you need a Level script; Cooley's done two absolutely terrific tutorials on level scripting, look them up.

That's all I can think of for that.
