Sierra's MEGA-HUGE XSE Scripting Tutorial

[MarandiaYoung]

but it did it again after the battle....

 

[Mana1]

...
Applymovement
Waitmovement 0x0
Setflag 0x220
Hidesprite 0x
...

Also on that @done section change the msgbox number to 0x6 - 0x4 will mean it is stuck open.

 

[MarandiaYoung]

Okay thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it!

You need to use trainerbattle 0x1 so the script continues straight after winning the battle.

Like in Diego's example script for a Gym Leader:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x820
if 0x1 goto @done
msgbox @2 0x6
trainerbattle 0x1 0x001 0x0 @before @after @later
end

#org @before
= Show me what ya got!

#org @after
= What the-?

#org @later
msgbox @3 0x6
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @4 0x4
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
msgbox @5 0x6
giveitem 0x147 0x1
setflag 0x820
release
end

#org @done
msgbox @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= You should travel to Cerulean City\nto get your next badge.

#org @2
= Welcome to Pewter City Gym.\nYou want to challenge me?

#org @3
= Congratulations!\pFor beating me, you get\nthis badge!

#org @4
= \v\h01 recieved a badge!

#org @5
= Oh, and please take this.

You don't script warps tiles - that part has nothing to do with this tutorial. The warp diego used is as part of a script, whilst you're looking at warp tiles. The [W]s in A-Map simply go on a door (or by stairs, etc.) and will automatically warp you when you move in the correct manner. The warp you have a picture of takes you to Map 3,0 - Warp 0. Which should be Pallet Town. Change the numbers to change where it goes.

Okay then, how do I input that offset in then?

Okay then, how do I input that offset in then?

I'm not sure what you're asking :(

Warp Number = The number of the purple tile you are warping too (says it on the event tab)
Map Bank = First number of a map in A-Map (IE all the towns are map bank 3)
Map Number = Second number of a map in A-Map.​

If you're trying to warp at the end of the script (which would fit in this thread, but you weren't very clear) then you must have the warp command present so the end is:

warp 0xBANK 0xMAPNO 0xWARPNO 0x0 0x0
end​

If you don't want to warp to an actual warp tile, but co-ordinates then the last two numbers work as X and Y. Hover over the tile you will want to end up on, in a-map, and in the bottom left corner it will tell you the co-ordinates in hex. For that kind of script you use:

warp 0xBANK 0xMAPNO 0xFF 0xXCOORD 0xYCOORD
end​

Hello guys. I'm quite a newbie to scripting. Anyways, I tried to make Mega Evolutions for my game and I ended up with this:

#dynamic EB0B20

#org @megabattle
trainerbattle 0x0 0x001 0x0 @before @after
msgbox @beaten 0x6
release
end

#org @before
= Go, my POKeMON, prove yourselves!
goto @megavenusaur

#org @after
= Noo! My POKeMON have failed me!
special 0x18
compare LASTERSUT 0x19b
if 0x1 goto @megareverse
setvar 0x8005 0x0

#org @beaten
= You have inspired me. I will train/nmore and try to become like you.

#org @megavenusaur
special 0x18
compare LASTRESULT 0x3
if 0x1 goto @megastonecheck
end

#org @megastonecheck
special 0xe
compare LASTRESULT 0x62
if 0x1 goto @megaevolve
end

#org @megaevolve
setvar 0x8005 0x19b
special 0x16
end

#org @megareverse
setvar 0x8005 0x3
special 0x16
end

This however doesn't work. It doesn't display the correct text - some random characters before the battle and the before pointer message displays right after the battle. My Venusaur doesn't evolve into Mega Venusaur (0x19b, replaced Chimeco), even though it is holding the leaf stone (0x62). Please help, and thank you in advance.

P.S. I am using JPAN's Fire Red Hacked Engine, thats why there are some specials.

 

[Mana1]

That's because your script is... Impossible. The two pointers in the trainer battle 0x0 command can ONLY point to text, all the rest of your script will never happen.

Have a look at the trainerbattle 0x1 command (also in this thread). Also please make sure that your message pointers only point to message. They don't even need a 'goto' - your @beaten is the only message you've done correctly.

 

[Squeetz]

I need help... I'm trying to make scripts in Fire red, but every time I add one, and I walk into the script, the game just crashes. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. (I'm a noob to scripting, however)

This is a short script I wrote just to paste here:

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x740000
lock
msgbox 0x874000C MSG_NORMAL '"Moo."
release
end


'---------

#org 0x74000C

[NG55]

LASTRESULT doesn't do work. It's telling me to define something.

 

[Sniper]

LASTRESULT doesn't do work. It's telling me to define something.

Probably your script was wrong. If it was correct, the error define wouldn't appear.

 

[NG55]

Probably your script was wrong. If it was correct, the error define wouldn't appear.

The rest is fine, it just won't do the LASTRESULT thing, so the player has to go into the nickname screen. Shall I PM you the script?

Not sure what happened here...

if LASTRESULT doesn't work use 0x800D in its place.

Put that in a person event and it should work fine :) green script tiles need to have variables selected - I believe there is a tutorial on them by KarateKid.

All right, I'll be sure to check it out, thank you

Well, destinedjagold provided me a different version of XSE it fixed the problem. Dunno what caused it or why this one fixed it, but yay.

 

[Squeetz]

Having another problem. For some reason, the script doesn't move the sprites in-game (This is a script tile) (I am 100% sure they are the same event no. as in the script) The script will only show the messages and the players movements.
Here's the script I composed (after compiling it and re-opening it):

Edited out movements because it is irrelevant.

 

[Mana1]

I've had problems before with move sprite not working for sprites that are far away. Judging by the large numbers you're using, this might be the case here?

 

[Squeetz]

Once again, you helped me. They actually were too far away. Thank you sincerely, I guess you're just magic, huh. :P

 

[Sceptile90]

Hi. How exactly do I insert the script into Pokémon Leaf Green?

 

[Proxy-Pie]

A question.

Why is it that whenever I put in a script using Advanced Map, it changes everything I put in into this format:
