Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[karatekid552]

What if I wanted to make the player spawn in the middle of Pallet town, for example? Thanks for the list of locations!

There are tables and such you need to edit. See here:

#org $roaming
setvar 0x8004 0xfA00
setvar 0x8005 0xffff
setvar 0x8006 0x1
setvar 0x8007 0x0
special 0x56
release
end

I've got this code and have JPAN's Fire Red Engine applied so Special 0x56 will work. So far this should yield a 100% (0xFFFF) chance encounter with Ho-oh (FA00) found in the Grass (0x0) that will only appear x1 time (0x1).

Question: How can I edit the level of the Roaming Pokemon and where do I put this script in the game and how do I trigger it?

Variable 0x8007 lower half is the location, and the upper half is the level the pokémon is found in. Used to avoid "underwater Charizard"-like scenarios.
First 4 bits of the word are the location values. 0x0 does the same as 0xf, that is, the pokémon is found anywhere you want.
Bit 0 = grass
Bit 1 = surfing
Bit 2 = tree\rock-smash
Bit 3 = fishing
So 0x9 (1001b) would mean that the pokémon is found on grass and by fishing
The upper half is the level of a roaming pokémon. For instance, if you want a lv. 80 pokémon in the wild grass only, use setvar 0x8007 0x5001
~

You put this in any place you want the roaming to start. That is up to you.

#org $roaming
setvar 0x8004 0xfA00
setvar 0x8005 0xffff
setvar 0x8006 0x1
setvar 0x8007 0x5001 0x0
special 0x56
release
end

#org $roaming
setvar 0x8004 0xfA00
setvar 0x8005 0xffff
setvar 0x8006 0x1
setvar 0x8007 0x5001
setvar 0x8007 0x0
special 0x56
release
end

So would one of these be right then for Lv. 80 Pokemon only found in Grass? Since variance 8007 does both level and location?

Also when I say, where do I put it, I don't mean in the storyline/map I mean how do I encode this into the game? Do I just open up a script at freespace in advancemap and configure it to that location/person event/script tile through my script editor PKSV? And if so, is one of these two lines of text all I need (aka can I copy paste it into my script editor) alongside of the Fire Red Hack Engine 0x56 special?

You just need to put this script so it runs when you want it to. You could put it as a map script, a script tile, a person event, hell, if you wanted to, you could make it into an item (using this https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/281573).

This one is correct:


#org @roaming

setvar 0x8007 0x5001

I can't figure out how to make a transparent text box in Emerald. I found a tutorial on it, but it doesn't say where to put the new lines. My script:

Red is level, Blue is location.

Here's what I've done so far but it doesn't seem to work, I pass the script tile on the Map and then it SHOULD be making a 100% 0xffff encounter with the Pokemon from the special, but when I pass the script tile nothing seems to happen. Or Am I just not running into the Pokemon because it is now "Roaming the region"?

Read https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/302347. There is nooo guarentee that 8004 = 0 at the time you step on the tile. That is the issue. I would test it with a person event first, just to make sure it works, then work it into a script tile with a correct var. Not a temporary one that is used by almost every 10+ line GF script.XD

Is it possible to remove the need of Badge to use HM moves outside of battle for Firered?

e.g. I want to remove the need of Soul Badge to use the move, Hm: Surf.

First off, I'm sorry if someone else has had my issues. I did Google, and search around a lot before asking. I watched a few Youtubers teaching me how to do a simple script. I never did this successfully.

They talked me through the steps, and it started pretty good but it ended up crashing. I think it's getting better... Still crashes. I can't show a picture because I can't figure out how exactly... It might not work, but I tried to share it. This is what just happened...

Game:I tried both Fire red, and Sapphire Type: Script Editor: Pokecket Script, Notepad, and Over-world map. Script: Talk script

Spoiler:

#Org $Talk

$Talk 1 = Hi
Boxset 6

End

How exactly did this happen? I don't know. But the whole, Compile short cut button doesn't work for me. I tried restarting my computer many times, and uninstalling.

So did I get the wrong things to use? And if I didn't what should I get? What am I even doing wrong here? I tried everything I can think of... It opens a shop like in the picture above. It crashes. Then if I wait I hear a terrible Screech...

Er... I would suggest you use XSE instead of PokeScript. =/

You do realize, that the same people are going to answer your question here, as over on Simple Questions.XD It really doesn't matter which thread you ask it on, and it doesn't change the fact that 500 people before you have asked that question and gotten the same answer.

Im trying to redo the scripts for your mother in the beginning of the game.

Spoiler:

#org $mom
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x1201
if 0x01 goto $mother
message $concerned
$concerned 1 = Did you hear that loud bang\na second ago?

release
end

#org $mother
message $normal
$normal 1 = You look tired.\nWhy don't you rest a bit?
boxset 6
healpokemon mask(#68) mask(#04) mask(#26) mask(#6c) mask(#1a) mask(#08)
boxset 6
release
end

The checkflag at the beginning is to keep you from coming back to heal until after you get pokemon.
when I talk to her after I get the pokemon it just says:
"You look tired.
Why don't you rest a bit."
Then there is a weird text box, then yes or no, then it freezes

Remove the clearflag 0x831. That should fix it.

You forgot the plus one in your callasm offset
Plus you forgot the binary to set which pokemon becomes shiny. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bCg8pJ12hk

Shinyizer is soooo much easier than people make it out to be. I hate how confused everyone gets. There is no need to callasm. The way it is written, is the game, when creating a pokemon, now checks var 0x8003. It works like this:

If 0x8003 = 0 : no shines

if 0x8003 = 1 : The next, and only the next, pokemon the game creates (givepokemon, trainer pokemon, wild pokemon) will be shiny

if 0x8003 = 2 : The next 2 pokemon the game creates will be shiny.

if 0x8003 = 3 : The next 3 pokemon the game creates will be shiny.
