Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[neosiotype]

I'm still in the beginning of scripting so I would just like to know whether or not the script I'm planning for the future is possible. I'm doing a revision of Fr/Lg by taking out the islands and adding the Johto region with an additional dark gym.

The player will have to acquire all badges from each gym's type before they are able to challenge the eilte 4. My problem is that the player has over leveled pokemon when they go to Johto. Of course I could change the gym's level, however I would have to change every other trainer in the region.

Instead I would like to include a script that refuses to let the player use any pokemon caught in the kanto region (vice versa for the other region's consistency). it would need to activate at elm's lab where you're forced to clear your entire party of pokemon and lock them in that region's pc. Is this doable? Or is it just advanced scripting?

I'm almost positive this would require some complicated ASM, especially to have a different PC system for each region.

Why does this script freeze the whole game?
It's a person script btw.

It's definitely easier to just change trainer's Pokémon level, really.

Yeah, I completely agree. However I thought about it and frankly for many reasons the idea just isn't attractive. For one I'm not entirely sure how far into Johto until the lvl cap hits... I'm already pushing it with higher leveled gym leaders, and optional areas for exp grind.

I think implementing the PC idea would "reset" the player's experience and force the player to choose from a new pool of pokemon. It might annoy the player at first but in the end I think it might contribute to a better playing experience.

 

[Sky93]

How would you go about making a list of choose-able items, similar to Pokémon (Old) White, where there is a list for starter pokemon, and you can pick whichever.

Here is a screenshot:

[Mana1]

Is there a command in XSE to move the screen frame? I looked through tutorials and the commands list in XSE but I probably missed something.

Do you mean to like pan the camera? If so, you need to use special 0x113.

 

[Mana1]

Do you mean to like pan the camera?

Yes exactly XD To move the camera away from the character ><

 

[PeregrineFig]

Sure is.

special 0x113
applymovement 0x7F @move
waitmovement 0x0
special 0x114

You use regular movement commands to move the camera around, and those specials have to be there. Make sure you move the camera back to its starting position afterwards.

Ah thank you :) *runs off to complete script*

 

[cormac]

How do you unlock the "pokemon" option in the pause menu?
I've given my player a pokemon, but I can't check them using the menu.

If you are using a FR ROM base you have to use 'setflag 0x828' for the Pokémon menu.

Ruby Sapphire it's 0x800
Emerald is 0x860

You can find more about special flags here

Can anyone tell me why this script freezes the whole game?

#org @go

#org @done
end

 

[PeregrineFig]

I can only think of two things: 1) Add lock and release commands to it, then test it again. 2) There's no pointer to the @done label, so you should just remove that.

Because it is really fractured, try this:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
checkflag 0x82F
If 0x1 goto @Hey
msgbox @hey 0x2
msgbox @lets 0x6

waitmovement 0x0
Setflag 0x82F
end

#org @hey
msgbox @HeySweetie 0x2
end

#org @Heysweetie
= Hey, sweetie.\lI think Prof. John is looking for you.

#org @lets
= Hey [PLAYER]. Your running shoes came in\lthe mail. Here, put them on.

#org @go
#raw 0x11
#raw 0x13
#raw 0xFE

#org @done
end

Changes in bold / Crossed out.

You'll probably want lock+faceplayer at the beginning and release at before both ends too.

 

[Anselection]

@Swiftsign - I tried that and your suggestions, it still freezes when I step on the script tile.

 

[Mana1]

Have you set the tile values correctly?

Set the Unknown value to 0003 and the Var Number to 4050.

See if that works.

 

[Anselection]

Thank you. That worked. So does it always have to be 4050?

Why is does my script stop right before the red part?

In case you're asking, I know i'm using HEADBUTT as the attack for the ROCK CLIMB. And yes all my ROCK CLIMB tiles have behavior byte 8D.

PS: Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm using JPAN's hacked engine and pokescript.
