Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

Not open for further replies.
The game doesn't support having TMs and regular items in the same shop's inventory- notice how the interface used for the TM merchant in the department store is very different from the regular merchant:

The simplest solution would be to have a separate NPC selling the TMs like the Celadon Department Store does.

Yes, you must set the var 0x8003 to a number, and it must be inside of the @start at least.


So, if you want 1 shiny pikachu:
setvar 0x8003 0x1

If you want the next 2 pokemon shiny:
setvar 0x8003 0x2
and so on and so forth...


And it requires Shinyizer, just for anyone else looking at this.
 
I'm trying to script, it's something I've never done before I got this:

#dynamic 0x801E60
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Hello \v\h01!\nIt sure is a cold day, eh?

When I copy and paste the Offest from XSE's compiler i get;
801EC0

But the game warps me to a strange black room with Celadon City music, and then it crashes. Halp!

It looks so simple.... How could this have happened? But I might have your problem. When you compiled it, did you take the @start offset or the @1 offset? The game won't like reading a message without the msgbox command, and will try to execute it as it's own command by instead of reading text, reading the hex numbers as raw commands.

This is what I think happened. Sometimes XSE will auto select other offsets besides @start. It can get confused if you have @start2 or @begin and won't know which one to auto select for copying. Just recompile it and make sure you take the @start offset.
 
Thanks Doesnt and karatekid.

But now I'm having one small problem...

I'm copying the original mart text verbatim, only changing the beginning offset and the offset of the mart items (and of course, the mart items themselves). But now, when I test the marts in-game, some of them work and others don't bring up the buy menu, seemingly at random...

Here's an example of one that works:

Code: 
'-----------------------
#org 0x8022B2

compare LASTRESULT 0x2
if 0x1 goto 0x81A7AE0

release
end

This is a script that's been compiled I made.

Talking to the NPC does nothing.
 
You need a callstd 0x__ (probably 4, maybe 6...I forget what each does) after the msgbox.

Or msgbox @whatever 0x__ if you have an updated version...(i think)

I'm not sure if this will fix everything, but callstd should come after the msgbox.

EDIT: and make sure you have another callstd after the second msgbox.
 
Why are you using checkflag 0x7? Unless it's specifically set earlier, you'll want to use an otherwise unused flag.

https://www.pokecommunity.com/posts/6829256/

Here is a list of already used flags.

EDIT: Also, I believe you need a #Raw FE at the end of all your movements.
 
It sort of work now.

She walks up to the player, talks then stops like planned.
But she does not walk back to her seat, and the script can happen again when re stepped on.

Assuming you're using a-map, for the script happening again and again, you'll want to set the var # of the script to something unused (like 7000, for ex.) then at the beginning of your script use "setvar 0x7000 0x1". This allows the script to happen only once.

I'm not sure about the movements yet...I'll keep working at it.

EDIT: When she walks up to you, does the message show? Knowing exactly when it stops working would be helpful.

@Nintendork - In the movements, it points to 0x8004C2. However, you have the applymovement pointing to 0x88004C2 in the actual script. Remove the duplicate "8" up top.

It does that automatically when it compiles.

Did nothing ?

Spoiler:
 
Really? Are you sure you set the var # and not the var value? If you did, and it's still not working, then idk.

On the movements, try adding waitmovement 0x0 after each? I'm really at the end of my knowledge now...

EDIT: also, it seems you're missing a lock at the beginning. IDK if that will help but since you release at the end it might be confusing it...

Whoa, that was weird!!! I compiled your script in XSE 1.0.0 and, just like you said, it didn't work. However, then I compiled it in XSE 1.1.1, making the small syntax changes it required, such as shifting the callstd to an inline command and changing waitmsgbox to waitmsg and..... It worked perfectly. All I did was change syntax, the exact same basic structure was there. I honestly don't get it. I'm going to look at the hex value differences and see what I can find.

Well, if it works in 1.1.1, then I guess I should upgrade...thanks for checking into it. It totally baffled me!
