    Have you tried just recompiling it with the actual text overwriting the "glitchy" text? I know I've had this problem before and just decompiling the script and then recompiling with the actual text seemed to work nicely.

    I am working on a FireRed hack with XSE. I am trying to make a script that will happen as soon as you start the game. Like you wake up in bed to see team rocket stealing a pokeball from the player's desk. I am correct that I will need to make this script a flag? I took an unsuccessful crack on at a few years ago but lost the script and have not had time to time again, I believe not making the script a flag was the problem (since it kept repeating and freezing when entering bedroom again). Any help or advice in making this script is much appreciated (I mean in tips/guidance/tutorials/thread links, I am not asking you to right the script for me). Thank you :)

    Unless your ROM is different than mine or you have some free space patch applied that I don't know about, a clean FireRed ROM has data at 0x161ADA.

    Try using a offset that is in clearly labeled free space. Like try somewhere in the 0xA00000's if you need to.

    You need to use variables for step-on scripts. I'm on my phone right now but have a google of "karatekid's flags, variables and scripts tutorial".

    If you want it at the start you'll need to make it a level script - tile scripts down work when you enter/warp to a spot. diegoisawesome's tutorial covers how to make these :) I believe there's a link in the first post.

    • Hi I am having a scripting problem I think. Would really appreciate any help.

    Can you use more than one applymovement script in one map.
    I have two very similar scripts.
    One has worked fine.
    Spoiler:


    But the second the sprite doesn't move.
    Spoiler:


    Ok since I posted this I have been attempting methods of fixing this.
    I added a new person event and script to AMaps.
    I copied over all the info of other events to new ones.
    In the script I changed the person event number for movements and hidesprite.
    I changed the flag.
    In AMaps I also changed the person id to same as the flag.
    So basically I copied everything over to the new event and script and made the necessary changes to the script.
    And now it works.
    I have had this problem with other scripts and for some reason they don't work on certain event numbers.
    Any idea why?

    Did the second script continue on but the OW didn't move? If so, it'd be because the applymovement command and the OW person event numbers didn't match up.

    No I definitely triple checked that plus once the script was done the sprite was hidden and if you check the script hidesprite and applymovement have the same event number.
    It's not a big issue for me I just used another event and moved the old one to a corner of the map out of sight. I've had the same issue with something a simple as a give item from pokeball script. Where I've used another event number and it has worked fine. Looks like some of my scripts don't like certain event numbers. lol. I must be making a mistake somewhere or its a bug with AMaps. If any one knows of any other reason why this might be happening I'm all ears.

    • Hey guys! I have been following diegoisawesome's XSE tutorial trying to make and insert my first script. Here is what I've done so far:
    Spoiler:


    After clicking "Compile", I get the screenshot (see attachment) and am unsure what to do. The log puts out as follows:

    Help is always greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

    EDIT: Resolved. I copied the offset for @start and repointed the person event there. Worked like a charm!

    You see that "@start" and then the offset next to it? Copy that offset (should be the FSF offset) and paste it over the script box in AdvanceMap. By the way, you should always use something like "#dynamic 0x800000" (most often used) or just "#dynamic 0x000000". What that directive does is tell XSE to start looking for freespace from that offset, meaning it will automatically find enough free space for you and put the script there. Just make sure you copy the offset it gives you for @start, otherwise good luck finding the script.
    Edit: By the way, I just noticed you're using Emerald. Use something like "#dynamic 0x900000" for that, because it's probably the most frail game there is and by that I mean sound corruption. Actually, I'm not an Emerald hacker myself, so just use FSF I guess.

    I followed your advice and copied the @start offset, then pasted it over the script offset box. As for sound corruption, I keep backups of "stable" ROMs in case something goes wrong. Awesome tips with dynamic offsets as well, FSF was coming up with 0x9XXXXX offsets for free space anyway, so I could probably stick with #dynamic 0x900000 for future script edits. :) Thank you!

    Since you're using Emerald, it's best to use the command 'freespace 0xFF' after the #dynamic command to ensure that the correct type of freespace is used.

    It seems like you're using an outdated version of XSE. I recommend you download version 1.1.1: https://www.mediafire.com/download/8qe70zzp45bjf91/Unofficial_XSE.zip

    edit: my bad, I automatically assumed the parameter overflow problem was with the msgbox line. Still, it's best to ensure you're on the right version of XSE,

    The issue is that #dynamic and #freespace are separate commands.

    Do it like this:
    Code: 
    #dynamic 0xE00000
#freespace 0xFF

    :)

    And like Spherical said, be sure to make sure you use XSE 1.1.1.

    I downloaded and installed, but got the same error. Is there something wrong with the first line of my script?

    EDIT: Didn't see Lost Heart's post before posting. sorry
