    I'm trying to make a movement script with a trainer battle attached. I've put two basic scripts together in a way I think would work, but I'd like someone more learned to look at it.
    Spoiler:

    Script is in XSE for Fire Red. I haven't applied any real information to it yet, but the gist is the person says something, comes down four tiles, the player exclaims and jumps once, the battle begins and ends appropriately, the NPC speaks again and turns to leave out of view and disappears.

    Hello guys I need help with a script (or two). I am trying to use the movesprite2 and spritebehave commands in Fire Red but they don't seem to work.
    The script for the first sprite is this:
    Spoiler:


    and for the second:

    Spoiler:


    What I need to do is this:
    First the player talks to this sprite and it disappears. When I talk to another sprite (in another map) it should make the first reappear in X:8 Y:6.

    What really happens:
    The first sprite disappears as it should but after I talk to the second sprite, the first reappears as it was set in advance map.

    Okay I am now just having trouble understanding variables. Here are my questions
    This is the tutorial I am using (awesome tutorial so far) https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=302347
    1. Are the variables 4000=408A not permanent? Or are some permanent. Like I understand the rock ones (they reset everytime you leave) but like other important events like the starter a player uses 4031. How do you make it permanent where you never run into it again?
    2. If the a value can be "set to" 0x1 does that mean it checks if something is there? What about 0x2 or 0x3 I have NO idea what those do.
    3. (This might no be a variable maybe a flag) How do I make sure the sprite AI I am using doesn't reload the same sprite after I have them leave to another room. For ex. I have a group of 4 sprites in my map when you come in. After they all talk and walk into the next room how do I make sure they don't just reload and do it again after I leave the room and come back?

    Btw I love how helpful you guys ALL are! It is really cool how you guys want to help us beginners and intermediates understand.

    Sorry for asking here twice but i dont know what´s wrong with this script:

    Spoiler:


    The teacher asks me if i have a pokemon, then if i want to do something for him, if i say no he repeats the question, then he gives me the pokedex and he deserves luck in my journey. I dont know if its a little failor a big one.

    Nice scripts. Only problem I see is your dynamic 0x80000 yours is missing a 0
    ALSO you can't have two of your dynamics be the same or else it uses the last one set.

    1. vars 0x4000 - 0x400F are temporary in that they're used by some in-game functions.
    vars 0x4010 - 0x401? control the clown sprites, the one that have 240+ sprite no in A-map, though I don't remember exact numbers.
    So starting from 0x4020(actually a bit earlier but whatever) you've got vars that have usually one role in game, as depicted in the tutorial.
    2. You can set a var to hold any value from 0 to 0xFFFF. And yes, they're checked in many places in-game. Think of this like this, if var X = 1 do this event, if X = 2, do another event, etc.
    3. If you want the person sprite to disappear, you've got to assign a flag to that NPC in A-map and if that flag is set, you won't see them.
    Also, vars end at 0x40FF.

    I think you are using the same dynamics 0x800000 use freespacefinder to find room.

    How would you compare a variable to a multiple of a certain value?
    For example comparing 0x4045 0x3, 0x6, 0x9, etc.

    compare 0x4045 0x3
    if 0x1 goto @whatever

    0x1 refers to 0x4045 having an exact value of 0x3, but you can also use these:

    diegoisawesome's XSE tutorial said:
    Lower Than (0x0)
    Equals (0x1)
    Greater Than (0x2)
    Lower than or Equal to (0x3)
    Greater than or Equal to (0x4)
    Not exactly equal to (0x5)

    Just to check, you are compiling with the gear button and then copy/pasting the given offset into A-Map. Then when you say opening your script, you mean from 'open script' on your A-Map event?

    @Ayonn

    Are you making sure to save in A-Map? Sounds silly but its a common mistake :c. And definitely compiling to the same ROM as is open in A-Map? ><

    It's a hard problem to diagnose, since its probably the programs rather than your actual script.

    Hard to say exactly what's going wrong here. Have you tried recompiling, always get the same error? I can't spot anything obviously wrong. You do have some pointless var commands though - setting a variable to zero when it is zero by default and checking that twice in one script :s.

    Judging by what you set out to do, and the fact your offsets are unchanged, you'd expanded the script without repointing it and therefore it is erroring. Try reopening the script and see if it looks as intended, or if its jargon.

    If you're extending a script you neeeed to repoint. Changing a four letter word to a five letter word is enough to break it in some cases.

    I am having some troubles with the sprite disappearing mid-script. I dont think that it is any of the commands, but I am not so sure. It is built upon the Pokémon Glazed 7b ROM.

    The sprite disappears pretty much directly after the first msgbox.

    Code:

    Opening the complied script from Advanced Map and everything appears to be correct.

    The script event looks like this:

    I know that there is already (sort of) a thread discussing this, but I'm just a new baby!hacker and I was wondering about the "Follow Me" script.

    pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=204651

    General consensus seems to be that it's difficult to make a Person event follow you everywhere, but that scripts to make them follow you around a specific map are fairly simple.
    However, I can't seem to find any examples or explanations of how to do that.
    Now I don't mean a script, like the "Oak" script at the beginning of Fire Red, where the Person event and the Player character move without the player's input, but a genuine "Follow Me" script, where the Person event steps into the square where the Player character previously was when the player moves.

    Any information that you can give me would be helpful, because there doesn't seem to be much out there. Thanks.

    The consensus is that while it is possible, it is too space consuming to make level scripts do that and the asm follow me that touched made isn't ready for big maps because it doesn't have a way to deal with ledges and warps. But if it's a decently small map without those, then it would be god for that. The stuffs is all on his github in his signature.

    -------------------------------------------------------

    For my question, I'm having trouble with JPAN's Fire Red Hacked Engine. I'm using his modified special 0x64 (changes your own pokemon's status condition) and it requires me to set the variables 8004 (pokemon slot to change) and 8005 (type of status ailment). No matter what I set 8005 to, it always ends up making the Pokemon fall asleep. I'm trying to get it to be paralyzed but when I set 8005 to 0x6 (the paralysis one), it still puts them to sleep. The script doesn't tell much, but here it is:
