Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

Not open for further replies.
FSF is not giving you a 800000+ because there is random free space of different size in many parts of the ROM but the safest and largest free space start at 0x720000 iirc, in FireRed that is. You can specify to FSF the offset where it should start searching from. But you don't need FSF when using XSE.
For a market script I advice you to use an original mart script as a base. There are specials u need to call in the script, especially if TMs are in that mart.
 
Rom : Fire Red

I want to dont let the player leave the house without talking to mom or pc(flag 0x1001 and flag 0x1000) or if you didnt pick up 1,2 or 3 items (flag 0x1002,0x1003,0x1004) but when i use it the game freezes...

For one, you forgot the "lock" command at the beginning of your script.

Number two, I'd like to point you to this thread (https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/302347) and go to the "script tile" part and if you haven't, read it. it usually solves a lot of problems with script tiles not working right.

To make the script look more natural, you should put
Code: 
faceplayer
after
Code: 
lock
Replace all your
Code: 
waitmovement 0xFF
by
Code: 
waitmovement 0x0
, that's how it always goes. The rest of it seems ok.

I'd suggest having a look here: pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=279345, he covers all the basic stuff you need to know :)
 
@pointeroo, the only flags save to use in FireRed are flags between 0x200 and 0x2FF, inclusive. There are a few others safe to use but you should read the thread Tah Blazer linked you!
The flags you are using in your script are not safe to use at all. So, do something like this:
Code: 
#dynamic 0x2DE228

#org @start
lock
setvar 0x4050 0x2
checkflag [B]0x200[/B]
if 0x0 goto @back
checkflag [B]0x201[/B]
if 0x0 goto @back
checkflag [B]0x202[/B]
if 0x0 goto @back1
checkflag [B]0x203[/B]
if 0x0 goto @back1
checkflag 0x204[B][/B]
if 0x0 goto @back1
release
end

#org @back
applymovement 0xFF @move
[B]waitmovement 0x0[/B] [SIZE="2"](Why are you using waitmovement 0xFF? o.o)[/SIZE]
msgbox @1 0x6
release
end

#org @back1
applymovement 0xFF @move
[B]waitmovement 0x0[/B]
msgbox @2 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= You cant go out!\nTalk to your Mom.

#org @2
= You forgot your items.\n Go back to take them.

#org @move
#raw 0x11
#raw 0xFE
Note: The flags I used to correct your script are used in some of the original game's events, so if you're keeping some original event untouched, use flags of events you removed.
 
I've edited this script. Now when I put "0xFFFF" I'm referring to the flag, I think. Here's the script:

The best way to see if your script adds up is to compile it into XSE and if XSE says you have an error, then you must have done something wrong. A preliminary method before you even do that would be going through the script in your eyes and making sure everything is in check. For instance, can you access the other parts of the script like the charmander part or the squirtle part? Did you make sure to include the "release" and "end" command so once you finish the character isn't still locked in the same position when the script ends?

A few things are missing, such as the message string for "msgbox @1 0x5" and "msgbox @no 0x6" so the game won't even have a message to point to.
I also noticed you checked for the same variable when checking if the player was lying or not. You have to make the variables different to correlate to the different pokemon because then the game wouldn't know if you were lying or not. If all three starters were assigned the value 0x1, then there would be no way to tell the difference between them.
The messageboxes for the enjoy_[starter] all are missing the 0x(something) at the end of them.
And you forgot to set the flag that you checked for in the beginning so the player could loop the script as much times as they wanted for infinite Mega stones.
Lastly, at the end of all of your "#org @[starter]_yes", you forgot to put the "release" and "end" commands to tell the game the script was finished.

All in all, these are just small things you could pick up if you tried to compile it in XSE since it'll tell you what you're missing. Don't be afraid to compile and test it out in-game, that's the only way to make sure your script works.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to test it out for a few hours, cause I have high school golf practice to go to. So I have some questions so that I can fix it right now.
1) What exactly is the variable check? Is it "compare 0xFFFF 0x1" (basically any 4-digit number)? If so, then do I change the 0xFFFF or the 0x1? I've also noticed that there is a "compare 0x800D 0x1" command. I'm still confused on variables, but could you tell me which is the variable?

2) Here's the opening:
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0xFFFF
if 0x1 goto @finished
msgbox @yes 0x5
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 goto @bulba
msgbox @no 0x6
setflag 0xFFFF
release
end
Click to expand...
Did I place the "setflag" correctly?

3)When you mentioned the "0x(something)" after the "enjoy_[starter]," do I just place a random UNUSED number or a certain variable?

I decompiled it, saved it, and opened up the ROM. But nothing happened. The sprite is Max (Ruby), so I don't know if that would have some odd effect, which it shouldn't. All I hear is the little ping, and Max turns to face me. No words are spoken. Not even a text box pops up. Help?

Click to expand...

1) Well the variable check I meant was the variable you set when you obtain your starter Pokemon. I meant when you got your Pokemon, you set a variable unique to that pokemon (so you're assigning a variable that number). Think of it like this, the variable is a pot and the number you're assigning it is the pebbles inside. When you give a variable a number, you're putting pebbles into your pot. As for the "compare 0x800D 0x1" thing, when you press yes or no the game assigns either 0 or 1 pebbles to the pot and what you're doing there is comparing whether or not the game has given "0x1" pebbles to the "0x800D" pot.

2) You're gonna want to place the setflag at the end of the script. If you did it right where you placed the setflag currently, you could still loop for infinite mega stones as the setflag command is only triggered once you say no to the initial question. You're gonna want to place a setflag at the end of the scripts where you give the mega stone to the player, one each for the bulbasaur, charmander, and squirtle.

3) Nono, I meant that the line: "msgbox @enjoy_bulba" was missing an 0x6 after it, like a normal textbox thing. You're also missing one for the same ones in the charmander and squirtle lines.

4) This is regarding your new post. Just to make sure, the "checkflag 0xFFFF" isn't actually 0xFFFF but a real flag, right? Could you post your current script pre-inserted?

If I did this correctly, then when I give the setvar command to the starters, this should work properly. I hope. I still haven't figured out which items I'm replacing however. Once I do, those [FFFF item]'s will be gone. Now for the variables, I used "compare 0x4011 0x1" for Bulbasaur, 0x4012 for Charmander, and 0x4013 for Squirtle.

The amount of safe variables one can use is extremely limited. Either use one variable that contains either 1, 2 or 3 depending on the chosen starter, or use 3 different flags instead of 3 different values. You are wasting 3 variables in 1 tiny script.
Click to expand...

So then what do I do for flags? I don't really know what the set up for that is. Can you take a chunk from my script and make it correct with flags?

You can use either flags or variables, but I just have come to love variables because of how easily usable they are and because I like saving flags for OWs. If you wanted to use flags, you'd have to set a flag when you received the pokemon, however the flags must be different from each other.

In other words:
Flags- Set a flag during the script when you got the pokemon and then check for that flag later on in this script instead of comparing variables. These all have to be different flags from eachother as flags only have an "on" and "off" value to them.
Variables- Set a number to a variable during the script when you got the pokemon and then check for that number later on in the script. This is slightly harder as the concept is more abstract, but you're basically assigning value to a certain area (the area is the first part of the "setvar" command and the number you're giving it is the second part of the "setvar" command)

And you still haven't moved the setflag (not "set flag" like you have in your script, it has to be one word) to after the player is given the item, as you want the game to set the flag after they received the item so they can't get more.
And on the note of setflag, you're gonna need to use a real flag and not FFFF. The thread I linked you to in the last page had a section about the flags and variables that are safe to use so you can pick one form there.

I'm still confused on the variables however. Am I doing it right? Or do I need to have the starters be under 0x4011 0x0-0x3?

Both ways can work, but using 3 variables for this honestly seems like a waste. I would do 0x4011 0x0, 0x1, 0x2 instead, and adjust the starter script accordingly.

Yeah, what HidoranBlaze said.

setvar 0x4011 0x1

You're changing the first number on there, but not the second. What we're talking about is changing the 0x1 to, say, 0x2 or 0x3 or even 0x0 as they're all different values but for the same variable. Changing the value of the variable allows us to use a variable like a flag, except there's more than just whether it is set or not. Flags are limited to only being on or off, but you can make a variable any number you want it to be so it's far more flexible.
