I need help with this script, it's suppose to check to make sure the pokemon you pick is a certain pokemon and if you pick the wrong one it stops you and takes you to the back of that string. What happens is that when I'm supposed to pick Venusaur it let's me pick any pokemon without stopping me. Then when I'm suppose to pick Onix and I go to pick another pokemon or when I try to go back (which you aren't suppose to be able to do at that point) it takes me to my @Goback string. This is just a little bit of my script, but everything else in the script works perfect except this part. Please take a look.

I don't know if you meant to do this, but you set variable 8004 to 800A, then when you returned you set 8004 to 0x3. :\

Yeah, that's the only way I know to bring up the pick a pokemon menu, and then it should take you back to the beginning which is where it sets variable 8004 to the pokemon again. Unfortunately it doesn't take me back, it says I choose the Venusaur.

Try troubleshooting using this script:

https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=210016

A suggestion you might try is changing where it goes after comparing variables 8004 and 8005. Try changing it to:

Code: 
if 0x1 goto @Billshouseremoveonix
goto @Billshousethatsnotaonix

Sometimes that works for me ...

That's the tut I used to remove Pokemon. Switching those around worked though, so thank you for that. I really appreciate it. One last problem with the script though. When I try to go back it just tells me that that isn't the right pokemon. It should say something like, "You sure you don't want to try this?" and then take me back to deciding if I want to try it.

I'm not sure why it isn't working, it can sometimes be glitchy. I'd look at the fully compiled script first and see if all the offsets are doing what they're supposed to be, though ...

(Edit: Oh, and I'm glad someone fount that tut useful - yay! :))

Yo, I'm new at scripting, and while I don't expect anyone to give me a full explanation, I do have one simple question.

Where do I start?

If that's a level script, find a tutorial on them, because it's likely a #raw word problem. Also, it looks like you forgot a lock command, but I just kind of skimmed, to be honest.
 
I know how to script, but getting the script IN the game is kinda confusing.
So, my question is. How do I get the script in the game?
Yes, yes, Pokescript.. But when I "Compile Script" The Buf Rit doesn't appear after it's done whatever it's doing.
I've downloaded Pokescript, and PKMadv. I put the scripts and the hacking tools in separate folders. So, how do I make the Buf Rit window appear after it's done reading the script? "P.S. The script I'm making is giving the pokedex option and the pokemon option"

I'm using Emerald as my rom, and this is my script:

#org $pokedex
lock
faceplayer
message $1
$1 1 = Heres the pokemon and Pokedex option.
boxset 6
fanfare 0x13E
message $got
$got 1 = \v\h01 received the\nPokédex and Pokémon on the menu!
boxset 4
waitfanfare
pause 0x30
setflag 0x828
setflag 0x829
fadescreen 1
removesprite 0x800F
pause 0x30
fadescreen 0
release
end
-------------

Please help me, it would help very much.

First off, I recommend you use XSE. It's much more efficient and less buggy.
Next, You have your $1's in the middle of the script. That's a no no. Here is a fixed script.

Code: 
#org $pokedex
lock
faceplayer
message $1
boxset 6
fanfare 0x13E
message $got
boxset 4
waitfanfare
pause 0x30
setflag 0x828
setflag 0x829
fadescreen 1
removesprite 0x800F
pause 0x30
fadescreen 0
release
end

#org $got
= \v\h01 received the\nPokédex and Pokémon on the menu!

#org $1
= Heres the pokemon and Pokedex option.
 
This next one has me completely stumped...

Spoiler:


When it gets to:
msgbox @fightornot 0x5
if 0x1 goto @yes
if 0x0 goto @no

In-game, if you choose yes it goes to no. So saying both yes and no sends the script to @no, saying "Come back when you are think you are read". I don't understand how choosing yes can send it to no when the script says the complete opposite :/

When I choose yes, I'm supposed to be sent to @yes and start that trainer battle.

I didn't even need to open the spoiler tag to spot your problem. You need to precede each of those if commands with a "compare 0x800D 0x1".
 
You had:

msgbox @fightornot 0x5
if 0x1 goto @yes
if 0x0 goto @no

Instead, put:

msgbox @fightornot 0x5
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 goto @yes
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x0 goto @no

Naturally, if it doesn't look at any variable it automatically assumes its value is 0, which is why you always got no. 0x800D is the lastresult variable, so with those compare commands it tells the game to check whether or not the player said yes.
 
Ok, fixed that, now I'm having a problem further down the script.

#org @yes
trainerbattle 0x0 0x004 0x0 @choseyes @after
msgbox @youwon 0x6
givepokemon 0xF 0x8 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x105
preparemsg @gotpokemon
waitmsg
fanfare 0x13E
waitfanfare
msgbox @nickname MSG_YESNO
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto @nicknameyes
compare LASTRESULT 0x0
if 0x1 goto @nicknameno
release
end

After the battle, the script just ends. What do I need to have it carry on with the script, initiating the give pokemon part?

Change "trainerbattle 0x0" to "trainerbattle 0x1".
Make sure that the trainer and veiw radius boxes aren't filled in.
 
It was a script initiated event so I couldn't use 0x1. But 0x3 worked a treat (copied it from the vanilla Rival script on S.S.Anne). But thanks :)
 
No, 0x0 is the one you can't use in a script-initiated event. 0x1 would work perfectly in an event run with a script, and should be exactly what you needed. If 0x3 worked too, though, then no harm done, obviously.
