The ID number should be the species number. Rattata would be 0x13 (19 in decimal) for example.

This is for XSE probably, as PKSV never used this... But I haven't tried yet.

PKSV is the script editor I use as well. The program converts your word representations into the hexadecimal version before compile time. It's a perk when programming in C, most other languages use other aliasing features. Anyways, the problem is that PKSV's #defines file isn't expandable because the .dat file is irregular. Therefore you NEED to use the numbers instead or recompile the .dat file.

Using the hexadecimal is supported, I'm adept enough at scripting and know enough about the program to confidently tell you this.

Well in order to be able to add the pokemon name things into xse you need to open up the stdpoke.rbh file in the xse directory and add this line for every pokemon you added
#define PKMN_Perkamern 0x###

It still says 'Value must be integer'...

Make sure you have the correct number of parameters.

Fixed my main issue but I also have another question. Can you forcibly make the player's character warp to another room through a level script, or can you not?

Yes you can. There is a command named "warp" as well as another one to do it without sound. "F1" in XSE opens the command help menu where you can see the details/parameters to use it.

I'm back, unfortunately with the same problem.

First off, here's my script:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org 0x8003E7 'I know this isn't dynamic, the right script is loaded in advance map'
checkflag 0x828
if 0x1 goto @done
setflag 0x828
setflag 0x82F
givepokemon 0x84 0x0A 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 'Oh, and I nerfed these guys to lvl. 10 on purpose'
givepokemon 0x83 0x0A 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
givepokemon 0x3 0x0A 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
givepokemon 0x9D 0x0A 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
givepokemon 0x3E 0x0A 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
givepokemon 0xC8 0x0A 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
end

#org @done
end

The header is set so the level script is 03 - On entering map/not on menu close. Here's some additional info:

This is to be loaded by the first map the player loads into
This is script no 02
I am using FireRed
I'm using a patch that gets rid of the intro (can find link on request)

I'm not completely out of troubleshooting possibilities at this point, though help would be appreciated. Is there anything I'm missing?

Change the level script to 02, and use a variable. http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=191500

Hi, I've written a script tile which when stepped on will cause someone to block your way and say stuff like "You can't pass etc"

When I tested it, the game froze, can you guys tell me what's problem ?

I find it much easier to deal with PKSV-UI so I've written it there.

message @danger
callstd MSG_NORMAL
applymovement @return
pauseevent 0x0
release
end

#org @got

end

#org @move

#org @getfirst

#org @moveback

Have you got the script-tile info filled in in A-Map?

If not: Script tiles require variables to work properly, have a look at this tutorial to see what you should do in A-Map. I'm not used to PKSV-UI, so I'm afraid I can't say if anything else is wrong.

The Var number I put was 8001 instead of 4055... mybad XD

Thanks for the quick reply,magic !

Edit: I got it ! Thanks magic, your work like MAGIC!

I'm hacking FireRed with Advance Map and eXtreme Script Editor. I'm trying to add a quote to an NPC in the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House. Here is her script right now.

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x16B1C3
msgbox 0x81936B4 MSG_FACE '"When I hold CUBONE like this,\nit'..."
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x1936B4
= When I hold CUBONE like this,\nit's just so warm.

I want to add this to her script, which registers her in the Fame Checker and prints a message, and then I want it so if flag 0x23c is active it will jump to the current script, otherwise it will print this message.

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x16B1AA
lock
faceplayer
setvar 0x8004 0xE
setvar 0x8005 0x0
special 0x173
msgbox 0x8193652 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"This is really MR. FUJI's house.\p..."
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x193652
= This is really MR. FUJI's house.\pHe's really kind!\pHe looks after abandoned or\norphaned POKéMON!

Basically, I want her to say two different things depending on a flag, but register her in the Fame Checker regardless. Jumping to another line of dialogue based on event flags and registering her in the Fame Checker while printing a line of dialogue work just fine, but when I'm combine the two the script rubs off on other NPCs or the script is truncated or changed when I compile it.

On a related note, does anyone know how to change the overworld sprites as depicted in the Fame Checker?

This script should accomplish what you want, don't forget to change the offset of the OW to 0x16B1AA in advance map.

I set the offset correctly, and it works fine when the flag is on, but the offset when the flag is off condenses to this when I compile it in eXtreme Script Editor:

#org 0x16B1AA

setvar 0x8004 0xE

if 0x1 call 0x816B1C3
loadpointer 0xF 0x1936B400
gotostd 0x9

In-game, it pops up an endless string of garbage characters. Help!?

Just repoint everything. That usually means your space isn't free enough and you're overwriting things.

How would I make a script so that when I step on a tile, (first tile on route 1, actually) it gives me the national dex? I know it involves applymovement and the specialflag for the national dex (0x16F). I don't know how to put it all together though. I'm trying to make it so that there are no messages or anything, just that the player walks over it and there you go, you have it, they won't even notice anything happened. This is for XSE, by the way. Please help?

Thank you,
MadHacker

That's really easy. And, if you want to learn scripting, diegoisawesome's XSE Scripting tutorial, and you will learn scripting in a week or something. Here's the link.

But here's what the script looks like:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
special 0x16F
setvar 0x4033 0x1
end

There! I will not explain it, since, I presume, you're following diegoisawesome's tutorial, but, if you need any explanation, kindly VM me! :D

Hi,

Would somebody mind checking over my XSE script to see if it will do what I want it to do before I compile please? I've wrecked two ROMS by messing up script.

Spoiler:

STEP 1: You try to leave Pallet Town
STEP 2: If you have no pokemon (you shouldn't, ) an old lady walks up to you and tells you her son went off to Route 1 to help recover stolen
pokemon, but forgot his spearow, she gives you it and asks you to return it if you find him, thus activating the pokemon menu. She
leaves as the screen fades to black. The screen comes back. Toby's Spearow is lvl 9, and it carries a potion. This script should run only once.

My script reads:

#dynamic 0x80000
