Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[SnapTime]

Hey guys im having a problem with my script still. Its been awhile and I still cant figure it out.
After the battle, the rival says his lines and then disappears without doing the movement first.
Here's the script.

#dyn 0x740000
#org @begin
trainerbattle 0x1 0x211 0x0 @intro @defeat @after
end

#org @after
lock
msgbox @afterwards
callstd msg_normal
applymovement 0x10 @move
pauseevent 0x0
disappear LASTTALKED
setflag 0x251
release
end

#org @intro
= I will crush you!!!

#org @defeat
= You crushed me[.]

#org @afterwards
= I can also say something after the battle.

#org @move
= m walk_up walk_right walk_right walk_right walk_right walk_right walk_right walk_right walk_right end

Here's the events log in AM which i think might be the problem.

 

[destinedjagold]

your problem is the applymovement 0x10 @move line...
Remember that 10 and 0x10 are not the same.
So either use applymovement 10 @move or applymovement 0xA @move...

 

[Silent the Lucario]

I fixed the script :D i just needed to talk to the person from behind and it worked perfectly :D

Thanks so much for helping me out, well now my script looks like this:

After the battle, he talks to you, then pauses, then disappears with no movement.

Not sure or it works, but try applymovement LASTTALKED OFFSET, it might work :)

thanks but that didnt work either :(
the script looks fine to me.
I think its a problem with my event log maybe. Or maybe because hes a trainer and its not an actual script?

I debug and compile the script, and it all works fine, but when i talk to the person nothing happens, any ideas? (i think im missing something but i can't figure it out.)

I decided to change something up in the hack I'm working on, but don't know how to go about it. I started with a script where you'd talk to a guy and he'd activate the Pokemon menu, the Running Shoes, give the player a Totodile, then "walk out" of the room. What I decided to do was change the script so that you have a choice between Squirtle, Totodile, or Mudkip, but everything else stays the same. So it would essentially be the same script as below, but he'd ask something like "Do you want Squirtle?" and you could either say "Yes" or "No, "So you want Totodile?" "Yes" or "No", "Well I heard you like Mudkip" "Yes" or "No". I've tried time & time again to get this, but I cannot. I don't know how to get it right, and I've tried playing around with other scripts of the same nature, but its not going good. Since I can't ask for a script, can someone give me some hints as to how to go about modifying the one below to get it to do what I want? The ROM is FireRed if it helps.

Changes in red.

There you go. All you need to do is make three parts of the script that will repeat endlessly if the player doesn't accept the Pokemon being offered. Obviously the msgboxs in each part will be where you put the text like "doo u liek mudkipz??" and stuff.

As a side note, you don't need to setflag 0x1200 in the script as you are already setting 0x828 and 0x82F to activate the Pokemon Menu and Running Shoes. If you have anyone with an ID of 1200 you can change it 828/ 82F and they will still disappear once the script has ended.

I'd also suggest that you start using an offset from 0x800000 onwards as you might be overwriting some code that appears to be empty space but is actually needed in graphics or something. You could experience effects similar to the pixilating of your main menu like earlier.

After I added in the messages it worked like a charm, thank you (: I'm using Free Space Finder to get my offsets, is there still a chance I could get one that appears to be empty if I use it?

Edit: I added "showpokepic" for the Pokemon and made sure to put in their respective numbers/coordinates for the images to appear as well as "hidepokepic", and it works fine. I get the pixelation on the menu account again though. I tried using "0x800001" and a few other offsets, but it still gets pixelated?

 

[lazinicki]

can anyone help me with a national dex script for FR! i have been trying diffrent scripts, playing wiht oaks orginal script, looking at past msgs on this board... but all of them are confusing!

0x800000-0x8FFFFF is always going to be free space, so you won't have any problems there :)

If you go back a page or two you can see how to resolve the menu issues in one of my earlier posts.

Inserting the National Dex is quiet easy as it only requires you to use the command 'special 0x16F' somewhere in your script, whereas the the ability to view the Dex in the main menu is unlocked in by the command 'setflag 0x828'.

If you are planning to insert the special command into Oak's script (and because you will be extending old script) repoint it so that you don't overwrite anything else.

Gah, I wish I had known that earlier. I would have just used offsets from there instead of using FSF. I found that post that you were talking about, but I didn't understand it, lol. I used an offset that contained image data, but appeared to be free space, that's all I got out of it :p

 

[Metroid Die]

Hey can anyone tell me the command that is used when Oak checks your Pokedex in Fire Red?

 

[altariaking]

Idk if I'm understanding you correctly but if you mean a check to see if you have the pokedex, then it's:

checkflag 0x828

 

[Spherical Ice]

No, he's asking how to check how Oak checks your progress on your Pokédex. I think it's a special or two, but the best way would be to debug Oak's script and find out.

Thanks for the help.


Another quick question, does anyone know where to find the script that activates when all your Pokemon faint and you HAVENT been to a Pokemon Center yet? It's the one where you "scurry home" and your mom talks to you. Any idea where I could find it to edit it, or create a new script to replace it?

Thanks again.

 

[Spherical Ice]

It's a level script, which looks something like this:

"#dynamic 0xOFFSET

#org @start
sethealingplace 0x1
end"

It's a level script for the downstairs of the player's house in FR, as they're forced to go into that map.

If you haven't set the first healing place, for some reason you end up into Blaine's gym and the Pokéballs glitch up. :/

Oh okay, yeah I see it. How would I go about editing what MOM says and all that?

Thanks for all the help btw

 

[Spherical Ice]

Well, you could either search for the string in Advance Text, or, the less buggy option, use a table and hex editor and search for the string of text there.
