Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[Missingyep]

Hi, member's of Pokemon community , I was wondering if there is a script for the ROM Pokemon firered To make Whichever one you don't choose [Boy ,Girl ] become your rival like pokemon Emerald . Including pokemon overworld sprite changing gender.

There isn't one single script, but there are a combination of techniques you could use.

In the maps on which the rival appears, you could use the dynamic OW functionality in JPAN's Hacked Engine. Have a level script check the player's gender and change the rival OW accordingly.

In battle scripts, things get more difficult... The simplest way would be to simply create one trainer for every possible rival -- one trainer per gender per starter. Then, when you trigger the battle from a script, check the player's gender in addition to the player's starter and initiate the appropriate trainer battle.

The only trouble I can see happening is in the intro sequence, where you actually name the rival. You'd need ASM modifications to conditionally alter their big sprite and to set a different OW to appear on the naming screen.

Is there a script that can make the NPC walk backwards?

Is there a script that can make the NPC walk backwards?

Hmm... I don't think so. Sorry.

My Question:
If I move a NPC through a script over to another map, they won't disappear unless they leave my sight. Now, this is awesome and all, but how do I make it disappear in front of my eyes? Will the Person Id stay the same and all I have to do is hidesprite, or is there some other way? Or is the only way to make them disappear is to make them leave my sight?

You can make the NPC disappear with hidesprite. Person ID is flag-based, not map-based.

So, if you didn't know, just use hidesprite, then setflag that person's Person ID.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

The best way to make NPC disappear is by using applymovement.
applymovement 'hide'
applymovement 'movements that make NPC to some place player cannot reach'
setflag
And once you leave the map, NPC won't be there until you clear its flag =D

 

[Sephiroth2009]

Yes using clearflag is useful when there's a sprite you want hidden for the moment until another time when you want it resurfaced on a map you've been through a dozen times.

I'm looking to create a "train" script where you can see the players sprite as the train moves. How would I keep the character moving in sync with the train without making it walk as the train is moving?

Why in the world don't you want sync movement? o.O
Make player disappear when he "enters" train, make him reappear when you want "looking through the window" and use sync movement.
There's no point in trying it by using other means o.O

Im currently hacking a fire red rom and i have found a huge bug, when i go into a battle then select the bag option in the battle interface the game restarts to the start screen at the beginning of the game, i havent added any scripts yet. do i have to set a flag or anything? (i copied the file and made a give pokemon script also and it still occurs)

Wouldn't it be easier to use some script or ASM (i.e. JPAN's engine) to change the player's OW into one whose walking and standing frames are identical, and then use applymovement?

Since ASM is concerned I must say no. ;)
And remember, not everyone can do ASM. :)

hello folks!


Appologise for my first post being that of a requesting nature, but I'm having a fair
bit of trouble with a script I'm working on for a questline.

So far i've managed to finish the quest scripts apart from the final event, which is as follows.


player talks to npc, npc warps him outside building,
two new npcs are stood blocking the door which was previously used to access
this building.

Any ideas?

quick over view

*have building with entrance clear
*enter building, do quest
* finish quest, warp back outside building
*entrance to building now blocked by two npcs


Using Fire Red, english type BRP, v1.0

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Pretty easy to do.
1) Put those 2 NPC that will block the entrance in A-Map.
2) Assign them with some flag.
3) Set that flag before you do actual script. It means that those two blocking the way will disappear.
4) Script the script where NPC warps player and add clearflag 0x(number of flag that was assigned to those 2 NPCs) command =)

 

[bambambiker]

Aaaaaaack!! So simple!! I was trying to
over complicate it! I guess sometimes you need to step out of the forest to see the trees.

Happy to report it worked beautifully, the variable is now set in pallet town during the oak script.

Thanks Ash!

alright this is probably gonna seem like a stupid question because its gonna be a simple answer but hope do i make a pokeball with an item in it. i can make it and gives you the item and everything but i dont know how to get it to disapear right after so you cant get it anymore

you need to set a flag, something like this perhaps with XSE

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0xoffset
lock
checkflag 0x1266
if 0x1 goto 0x871BCEE
setflag 0x1266
giveitem 0x44 0x1 MSG_OBTAIN
closeonkeypress
hidesprite LASTTALKED
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x71BCEE
hidesprite 0x1266
end



Make sure the **** is the same as the person ID for the item ball, this should work...

 

[zacharianinja]

i use pokescript so im not quite sure how this converts into that

That's really easy and basic. Just set a flag in your script, hidesprite command than set the flag number on the item in A-MAP.

 

[zacharianinja]

This is he script im using, idk why im having problems with it, ironically i can script a lot of others things but this im having trouble with haha

#org $begin
lock
giveitem 0x44 0x1
setflag 0x1205
removesprite 0x1205
release
end

 

[bambambiker]

you're almost there with it
you should be able to just add the flag

like this, this is your script with the missing parts, it should work in poke script... dont forget to set your people ID to 1205 in A.M

#org $begin
lock
checkflag 0x1205
if 0x01 goto $done
giveitem 0x44 0x1
setflag 0x1205
removesprite 0x1205
release
end

#org $done
nop
end
