Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[Avara]

Did you make sure in Advance Map that the Person ID of Onix is 200?
If you did and Onix still reappears, try putting the hidesprite command after the setflag command.
Also, for better estethic, hidesprite 0x0 should come after hidesprite and setflag.

@avaramoon, can you describe which part of moving camera doesn't work? I think, but I am not sure at all, that it is because you are trying to move the camera OR you are trying to use special 0x113 (OR both) between fadescreen 0x1 and fadescreen 0x0.
As for OWs not showing up, there is a limit of 16 (iirc) that you can see on a map at a time.

Oh, I didn't know that about the number of OWs you can have at a time! Thanks very much! I'll remember that!


The camera just won't move at all. I'll try it without the fadescreen and see if that works, but I'm trying to use panoramic view as well so it might look less aesthetically nice but I'm past the point of caring about that if the camera works. Thanks!

That's the settings I use in advance map.

Im trying to make a level script for the start map so that it executes when you start the game. But once you go through the whole oak intro it shrinks you down to size and then resets the game. Heres the script

Im using xse ive checked the level script button. In advanced map im using this level script option Validates values, loads handler to 0x03000EB0 (playback) [02] with the flag set to 5001. What am i doing wrong? I figured it out. i just went to a backup and used that and switched the var to 4000. Ok well now its doing the whole weird text thing, but i cant find the #raw word 0xFFFF thats causing it.

After you use \n, you have to use \l then for each new line.

And thats whats causing the weird text?

 

[Joltix]

And thats whats causing the weird text?

That would be one of the things doing it. The other is making sure you don't have more than 36 characters in each line or it will start to overlap itself.

You can use the text adjuster on xse by pressing CTRL+T or by going into tools, text adjuster.

OK i did what you said but now the game resets when i finish the intro.

 

[M0ZEPH]

Could anyone please help me shed light on why when I click to compile a script, save the rom in Amap then open script again nothing's changed? I've input it 3 times for one Person now and it's starting to annoy me.
Thanks

 

[Joltix]

OK i did what you said but now the game resets when i finish the intro.

I just tried your script on a fresh rom and it works fine. In the header tab in advance map, got the script type under 02, the flag set to 5001 and the value at 4000. Make sure you click save map scripts and save the rom too.

If it still doesn't work, try it on a fresh rom.

Just tried on fresh worked almost perfect! thanks for your help!

When I test that script, everything works except the messages. They don't show up. I don't know what's wrong as alot of other scripts I made worked. Just incase it's important, the settings in A-Map are:

Please reply soon :)

What version of XSE do you have? I have seen this issue with v1.0.0. You need the latest from Gamer2020's tools thread. Also, that var is a terrible option in my opinion. var 0x4000 is very unreliable due to being a temporary var.

Im back with more questions;-; when i add a setflag script to my code it adds this

Spoiler:

setfarbyte 0x10 0xFE2F1010
releaseall
updatecoins 0xD9 0xE0

to the end usually replacing releaseall and end. The script still works(except for the setting of said flag) HEre is the entire script other than talks and movements

Did you just go to your old script and added in a few more lines and clicked compile? Because that's a big no-no, you're putting in more information that what the script allows and can cause spillover information that can corrupt something else. Your best bet is to just re-insert the new script in a new, free space location and just delete the old one (I think HackMew had a tutorial on deleting older scripts).

Thanks a lot! However when I compile with the squarebrackets it just converts the brackets into spaces and plops 'black em' into the chatbox
