Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[Satoshi Ookami]

That would be XSE's built-in anti-profanity scanner picking up on your naughty language and reacting accordingly.

Lol this was good one xD

Anyways my opinion is that you've expanded existing offset in ROM and that's why it did what you showed us.

 

[Shukumei]

Yeah I notice that you should always have an "end". And good point it might just be the program not the actual game, always test first(hey something might go terribly wrong and you might get a few laughs)

I agree. There's no reason not to end any script with a

release
end

It just makes good programming sense. Sure you'll lose a bit of free space in your rom but it's not like those two bytes are going to be of much importance later on and it's more important that you get the proper results in-game.

Not all need to use
release
End
Only those who use lock command need to add release.

and end is important to make the script run properly.

 

[NarutoActor]

actual if you step on a tile and use an applymovement after the script if you don't but release you can't move. Even if you did not use a lock.

 

[Haku.]

Forgot to mention that :P
But most of the time, you don't need a release before an end.
Thats my point if you use level scripts and signposts

 

[Chaos Rush]

Okay, I tried adding "release" and "end" at the end of the first "paragraph", but and everything looks just fine.

Except one thing. The number "8" is added in front of my offsets. I mean, what?

This is what I mean: If I use 0x9A6740 in the script, after I click on compile and open again, 0x9A6740 turns into 0x89A6740.

Now where did that 8 come from?

The 8 means that it points into the first 16mb of the rom. In hex your pointer is 08 9A 67 40, but it gets flipped into reverse making it, 40 67 9A 08. :3

 

[NarutoActor]

what pokepal said XD but if that's something that realy bothers you I think you can edit the setting of xse to never show the 8( or just use pksv witch always uses 8)

All in all 8 appearing or not will not effect the script.

 

[theschmizz393]

Well, I'm new to scripting, and all I'm trying to do is make the National Dex available early in the game. I might be doing this totally wrong, but here it is:

'---------------
#org 0x800690
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x1F3
if 0x0 goto 0x88006A4
if 0x1 goto 0x88006B6
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x8006A4
fanfare 0x13E
waitfanfare
setflag 0x1F3
msgbox 0x88006C0 0x6 '"Your Pokedex was upgraded!"
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x8006B6
msgbox 0x88006D5 0x6 '"You're welcome."
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x8006C0

#org 0x8006D5

I'm using xse and everytime I try to put this on a trainer the game freezes when I talk to them. Thanks for helping!

Daznam. I haz script troubles. Also, sorry in advance for the decompiled version.

Problem: The NPC won't disappear(setflag wise)unless I talk to him a second time. Meaning, he is invisible, but still in my path, so I have to talk to him again. After that, it's all good. Now, why did that happen? Thx

Hmm...that has never never happened to me. Make sure the person ID is flag 209, but you should try the hidesprite command-I'm pretty sure that'll fix it

 

[Aether Noir]

Arghhhh, I've been trying this over and over and can't find a solution on my own, so here goes.

I'm trying to give a mantine, and then hide the sprite that gave it to you, but the sprite never shows up at all. Here's what I've got, and keep in mind this is my VERY FIRST non pure-speech script ever.

I'm using XSE, on FireRed and the general goal of this script is to give a pokemon, and have the pokeball sprite go away forever.

Hidesprite makes the sprite reappear on map re-load though right?

 

[Samike360]

Hidesprite makes the sprite reappear on map re-load though right?

Not if you assign the flag number to the person's ID

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

@Jesse : I don't see any wrong part there... is number of NPC you wanna disappear 1? Since I guess the final applymovement is for him/her to disappear right?

@Samike : If it's FR then hidesprite might not work.

@Aether : You forgot to end script in @start string.

 

[Aether Noir]

I added an end, but my sprite still doesn't show up at all, I can't go up and activate the pokeball if it's not there...

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

I added an end, but my sprite still doesn't show up at all, I can't go up and activate the pokeball if it's not there...

Does it have assigned flag?
Maybe that flag was already used in game and that means that OW won't appear.

 

[amoliski]

Alright, I am making a script that gives you a message, causes an earthquake, fades out, changes some tiles, resets the map, and finally fades in. I'm finally getting the hang of XSE, as everything works... except for the fadescreen...
So close, and yet, so far.

s there a way to make a follow script so when you move anther thing follows behind like in d/p/p in the forest with that girl but for FR
