Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[thetripplenine]

It doesn't work because I accidentally misspelled Riolu on that dynamic pointer so it didn't know where to connect. After correcting that it compiled perfectly in my XSE :P

Ok ya so with the new xse it works better but I don't know why but i'm not receiving the pokemon.

You actually have the pokemon BUT you didn't activate the pokemon party to appear on the menu
go back to the script and insert this line (I think you're using emerald right?)
setflag 0x860

and if u want the pokedex insert this line
setflag 0x861


hope this helps...

Another question...
I have a script that involves someone moving to a particular spot, but as soon as I move out of eyeshot and come back, the person reverts back to where they initially were. How would I keep them from moving back, even after exiting and entering the map again?

This is actually a question that I'd be interested in too. The solution I think is a level script, similar to the one in the player's room in FireRed. It'd go like this:

movesprite2 0xPersonEventNumber 0xX-pos 0xY-pos
spritebehave 0xPersonEventNumber 0xBehaviourNumber

Behavior number is just what the person does (look down is 0x8 look around is 0x1...ect). This is for FireRed, though other gen III ROMs are likely similar if not the same.

Very close, it just doesn't need to be in a level script. It just has to go directly after the applymovement it is holding in place.

 

[kj3400]

So if I put that in, I can guarantee the particular ow's not going to move when I leave the map?

Really? I thought it would reset if you leave the map :O

Yes good Samaritan.

If done properly, yes. If you don't care what direction it faces, then you don't need the sprite behave. I believe a basic list of behaviors is:

0 = face down
1 = face up
2 = face left
3 = face right

Not sure, but after a few tries you'll get it right.

Note: These behaviors will not line up with the ones in A-map, trust me, I've tried.

Depends, the command "movesprite" is not permanent. "Movesprite2" is permanent.

You do realize that there is a command database in XSE if you just hit F1, right? That is where I learned how to use half of these commands:).

Also, level scripts are pretty much the same as regular scripts, they just activate when you enter the map, rather than activating on a person event or an s-tile.

Ok, thanks guys, it'll be good to finally learn all the ins and outs of this scripting business :P

For running shoes if I just set the flag 0x82F does it give them to me? What to do?

Yeah, a few of the early things that look like items are actually activated by flags in FRLG (e.g the Pokedex). Just set the flag in a script and you should be able to run around in appropriate locations :P

I don't see why it wouldn't.

 

[thetripplenine]

DrFuji I do not understand the new xse, it's so much more different...

 

[karatekid552]

I felt the same way, don't worry. As you practice and get used to it you willfind it much easier to use and more powerful. Donmt worry, it just takes a little time.

 

[Blah]

Not working D:
The variable 0x5004 is just a variable I was using to keep track of gender btw. There were not problems with the script outside running shoe (everything would work in the order/way I wanted, but running shoes were never given). After the end of the script I tried it out and I just can't run :(

This is FireRed.

If i'm using pokemon ruby and i've made events using poketronic and advance map how do I make it so the event dissapears from the map once you've battled or captured the pokemon?

You can't do it using Poketronic (I'm pretty sure). You gotta use a script editor.

You can you just use the wild pokemon battle script inserter with poketronic then use free space finder

 

[karatekid552]

Actually, you can. In the bottom, where it says flag, enter the flag. Then compile. Now, open up your script in XSE and delete the line that says clearflag 0x_____. Now, compile it again. Then, go take that flag number and set it as the person I.D. In A-map.

The person won't disappear right away, but you won't be able to battle again. Look about 5 posts above to find out how to make it dissapear on the spot. Remeber, if you add to a poketronic script, you must repoint.
