Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[tajaros]

I have 2 questions to ask TPC.

Problem numbers one: I created a level script. Yes I did it the proper way by getting the map offset and such. It is an [2] level script where you walk into the room for the first time and the mom gives you your shoes. It works perfectly fine but everytime I enter the room, the script activates again. I have the right variable under the flags section. Anyone know what the problem might be? Here is the script for you to look at.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
sound 0x15
applymovement 0x1 @Move1
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @Talk1 MSG_KEEPOPEN
closeonkeypress
pause 0x1E
applymovement 0x1 @Move2
waitmovement 0x0
msgbox @Talk2 MSG_KEEPOPEN
closeonkeypress
special 0x171
setflag 0x82F
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @shoe 0x6
waitfanfare
msgbox @yay 0x6
applymovement 0x1 @Move3
waitmovement 0x0
setvar 0x4000 0x1
release
end

#org @Move1
#raw 0x1
#raw 0x62
#raw 0xFE

#org @Talk1
= Hey! \v\h01!

#org @Move2
#raw 0x11
#raw 0x11
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13
#raw 0x13
#raw 0xFE

#org @Move3
#raw 0x12
#raw 0x12
#raw 0x12
#raw 0x12
#raw 0x10
#raw 0x10
#raw 0x3
#raw 0xFE

#org @shoe
= [Player], received RUNNING SHOES!

#org @yay
= Hold the B button to run!\nDon't run indoors!\pYou can use these to get around\nfaster!\pPROFESSOR OAK is waiting for you!\nGo see him at his lab!

#org @Talk2
= Your dad has still not come home\nyet ...\pI'm sure he will be home soon!\pPROFESSOR OAK told me you are\nstarting your POKéMON adventure\ltoday! I think you will need these!

Note I created another level script the same way and that one works perfectly fine, it's just this one that keeps repeating.

Problem numbers two: I wrote a script where you pick up a pokeball containing a Pokemon (It's a long script) and the Pokeball is gone (which is suppose to happen) but when you leave the room and come back, the Pokeball reappears. I don't know what I am doing wrong! I these comands

hidesprite 0x1
setflag 0x7

and I also made the person ID 7. That should work, shouldn't it?

Please PC help me!

Change the var you are using, you can't use 0x4000 for your level scripts since it reactivates every time you leave the map or something like that.

Try changing it to 0x4010 or some other var.

Hello I will make this very simple. I have one problem that is cursing me. I am making a simple trainer script. I have made a script that works in XSE but the only problem is I cant get the player to face me. I understand that the script needs to have lock faceplayer to do so. The only problem is if I put it in my script it causes the screen to go black/red. I hear this is a common problem if you check the trainer box. The only problem if I dont check it the person wont move towards me. Is there some kind of script I can add to my original script so that I dont have to check the trainer box and the trainer will still approach me?

Here is the original script

#dynamic 0x800E8A

#org @start
trainerbattle 0x0 0x003 0x001 @before @after
msgbox @beaten 0x6
release
end

#org @before
= You wont beat\nme soldier.

#org @after
= Hmph, as\nyou were.

#org @beaten
= Keep moving forward



ANY help would be greatful

When you check the trainer box, you also need to type in a radius. This radius is how many tiles away the NPC can "see you" from. Also, in your trainer battle command, I'm not too sure, but I remember that being a filler byte (always 0x0) so that could be a problem also.

I should have mentioned that I have a set view radius on there already. I have also tried the filler byte as well but no luck.

I tried your script and the only thing you need to change is changed in bold.

Did you have trainer and view radius checked? Also after the battle did the player face you depending on your direction?

I seriously doubt that you should be using an offset that is beyond 8 hex characters.

Well, there are also pointers for 8+ hex characters, which XSE has problems with.
There are three possibilites to fix.

1. You make the pointers manually, its a ~2 min work / script.
2. Make the starterscript into 8-caracter offset and with call @ you point into the expand area
3. You repoint all pokemon sprites to +1000000, delete the whole pokemon then at D00000, be sure you point the graphics into +1000000 and have 0x800000 - 0xFFFFFF for scripts, which is for even 3 regions lol.

Hello, I am havin issues... when all my pokemon faint I dont respawn... im just getting a black screen...

I followed this guide:
https://www.romhackersonline.com/so...ending-sethealingplace-on-pok-233mon-firered/
word for word to increase my sethealingplace list... but now I just get a black screen, forcing the player to reset their game...

logically it should work unless there is a point that guide is missing (or I messed it up somewhere else)

so is there another guide for this? or does anyone know where the script is that runs after a person dies?
cause resetting the game woulnt be that bad if it did it automatically... no respawns, when you die you start from your last save point... it would make people save more ;)

the black screen happen right after the "player whited out" text... before the "player scurried to the pokemon center protecting his pokes from furthur harm" text...

Are scripts that do things after a certain amount of steps possible to do in Firered?
I wanted to make berry trees that regenerate a berry after a certain amount of steps.
Thanks for your help!

Errr... It would be tough, but it could be done. It would require a small branch in the step routine, but it is fairly basic ASM in terms of complexity. It can't be done with just a script because scripts lock the player in place. The only way to do it with a script, would be to have a map script which checks the amount of steps since the last time it was used and if so, cause berries to grow. The only problem with this, is the scripts would only be loaded when reentering the map.


Now that I think about it... I have a vague memory of seeing a note in JPAN's hacked engine that said you could have a script run every step. But I'm not sure. In that case, you could designate a var, and add 1 to it each time. When it hits the number of steps you like, it is reset and berries grow.

I guess it is the best way, easier to do and makes more sense imo than a method that would make the plants pop-up in an instant. lol

You're right, I guess yes. But as you said, it would lock and release the player with every step which will be probably annoying.

Well, maybe not, the calculations of the script could be done extremely fast, and you might not even notice it. If you just had a script itself that was counting your steps you wouldn't have any control over over your character. There is no "let player move" command, lol.

When you take a step, the game makes thousands of tiny calculations, what is two or three more by running a script every time? You shouldn't have a problem just as long as the script only plays with numbers, not person or object movement.

Man, if you just set vars, you don't even need lock and release..
The WRAM is very very fast, within miliseconds it calculates hundreds of code :)

And yeah, as long as you "put" the movement into an Assembler-Code, you can make object moves..

okay this is my script i wrote :
#org $script
lock
faceplayer
cry 0xA1 145
#raw 0x33
pause 0x30
message $cry
$cry 1 = Slowpoke! Slow!
boxset 6
wildbattle 145 50 0
pause 0x70
fadescreen 1
removesprite 0x800F
setflag 0x1211
pause 0x10
fadescreen 0
release
end

what it is suppose to do is the basic zapdos battle in FR/LG
it all works apart from it disapearing after battle , it just stays there
if someone can just point out the mistake i made that would be great
thanks !

-avoid flags higher than 0x900, this is the point where they go into vars.
-removesprite? Wtf it this script editor xD in XSE you can use
hidesprite LASTTALKED or hidesprite 0xnumber..

I believe he was using pokescript and following foullumps tutorials on youtube. I would suggest swithing over to either XSE 1.1.1 or PKSVUI, and finding a good tutorial on here as they are a bit different.

I've been looking around some forums to try to find out how to make a repeating level script. One person said that if you set a variable to 0x0 would work, but the game just froze. I have also tried not setting a var, but it still didnt work. Is there any way to make a repeating level script? This is the script I have.

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
movesprite 0x2 0x06 0x1E
hidesprite 0x4
setvar 0x5006 0x0
release
end

In the map script section of A-map, set your script's var to 5006 and the value to 0.
