    • Which XSE special causes an earthquake in Emerald? I've tried all of the ones listed in diegoisawesome's tutorial, but they all just freeze the game. Here's an example of what I'm using:

    One problem, the vars thing you're doing, that's for Ruby/Sapphire. I don't believe FR HAS an Earthquake special, I mean think, did an Earthquake EVER happen in FR/LG? Also, if you check Jpan's study on the Special and Special2, he doesn't mention any specials that execute an Earthquake effect.
    So, you could either, not have an earthquake event(?) in your hack, or, ASM hack one of the specials. The former is much easier.

    Hi. Just wondering if anyone could help me with a small issue that I'm having. Not sure if it's related to the script that I'm trying to put in, or if the program is just trying to make my life hell.

    I've created an event where a player gives you a Treecko, which is at Level 15. I typed all of this code, hit debug, hit compile, saved it, and then went into the game to test it, but the character didn't do anything when I tried to talk with it. Upon further investigation, I found out that the script had somehow reverted back from a 175 line script to 3 lines that do nothing. Could someone please explain to me what is going on?

    Here is the script that I'm using. Most of the bits of the script are based off the event where you purchase a Magikarp.

    So I wanna make a script that the outcome changes if you lose the battle. Sort of like if you win, the guy says "aww man" and runs away, and if you lose he says "you suck" and walks away. I know its something to do with trainerbattle 0x9 but that one has the proffesor Oak text, is there a way to take that out or have the outcome of the script change depending if you win or lose the battle. And also, does anyone know how mulitchoice in a script works. I know how to change the multichoice boxes, I just don't understand what to write if the player chooses one. Thanks :)

    FireRed does in fact have an earthquake event, when you push all the stones in place at Sevault Canyon. But this is Emerald I'm talking about. I'm pretty sure there were some earthquake events in that game as well, though :P

    I found this in one of the level scripts in Sky Pillar. I think this is what you want:
    setvar 0x8004 0x1
    setvar 0x8005 0x1
    setvar 0x8006 0x8
    setvar 0x8007 0x3
    special 0x138
    waitstate

    I would open the script for the Beldum gift event after the Elite Four and look at that. There should be a nickname giving process in there.

    Okay great thanks I'll have a look!

    Okay something abit tougher.

    Is there a section of the Wildbattle command which toggles if the pokemon is shiny or not?

    • There is the Shinyzer tool, it's quite popular for shiny battles. Follow this tutorial on youtube and it should work:

    /watch?v=5bCg8pJ12hk

    Just remember to increment the asm offset Shinyzer generates by 0x1.

    Back with what could possibly be a stupid question, but if I install Day and Night/RTC from DNS, is there any way I could use a script to check which time it is?
    And, would different Day/Night Pokémon require ASM?

    https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=299436 hers a tut on using time based scripts.

    And a question of me own:
    Whenever i use this script it gets to the yes/no and then no matter what i choose it freezes. Whats wrong? the asm offset if the shinyizer one.

    Uh, I can't REALLY see anything wrong, from a quick glance. One things for certain though:
    It should be "callasm 0x826D429" No 0x826D428.
    This is because when you callasm, you add 1 to the offset because its in Thumb.
    Other than that, I'm not that sure. Maybe write the script again and debug?

    Well i changed it like you said and that stoped it from freezing but it then did an infinate loop of asking if you wanted to buy it or not. SO i used the buy magikarp script thats already in the game and tweaked it to mah needs.

    Ok first of all, you're using the waitmovement command wrong. You want to use waitmovement 0x0. Look at diegoisawesome's xse tutorial for more info. And second, you do NOT want to remove waitmovement after applymovement.

    Thankyou So much! Compiled perfectly,

    HOWEVER, I worked out that the reason for the weird characters is the Offset XSE is giving me (10002F4) is replaced by 0002F4 whenever I leave the map, replacing the script with an entirely different one!

    I mean wtf.

    I'm guessing you're using an expanded rom? From what I've heard, Advance Map 1.92 doesn't support offsets with 7 digits, and idk if there's a way around this. I'm pretty sure MEH will support expanded roms though, so just be a bit patient lol. And if you're using Emerald (you were hacking Emerald, if I recall correctly), there's a tutorial somewhere I found that gives you more free space. I'll see if I can find it.
    EDIT: Yep, found it: https://pokemonhackersonline.com/showthread.php?t=5742

    Yeah I expanded it under recommendation with the corruption risks and things. I could live with having to open up MEH to insert all my scripts haha,(Actually just realised MEH only supports warps currently) but I'll look at following the tutorial!

    (I'm new to hacking, really, Scripting i'm beginning to understand but Hex editing is still uncharted territory for me)

    thanks a lot for putting up with me, means a lot!

    There's no corruption risks with making more free space, the corruption thing is actually talking about the mistake people made years ago when they thought Emerald used 00 bytes instead of FF bytes for free space, which caused sound glitches if people used Advance Map with Emerald. The tutorial I gave you fixes that and gives you more free space. And once you create more free space, you could use Advance Map with the freed offsets for a while, until MEH becomes beta status lol. And I haven't been hacking that long either, I struggle to make really big scripts sometimes haha.
