Sierra's MEGA-HUGE XSE Scripting Tutorial

Counterfeit said:
Say I have the offset for some text, is there any way for me to find out the offset of the script which calls that text?

A search function would be handy, of course I haven't a clue whether that's possible though.

Yeah, lets sat the offset of the text is 0x823131, you would do a search (In a hex editor) for 31318208 (Because we use Hex reversal)

AaBbCcDd
would become
DdCcBbAa
 
Another quick question.

I've tried everything, so I need help.
I'm trying to make my Oak overworld (Person Event No.: 3) to disappear completely once I talk to him, and he does, but as soon as I come back to the map, he's back. o.O;

Spoiler:


Thanks ahead of time [:

Do you put the flag on Oak's overworld???

You must put:
People ID: 2000

Or maybe, you must use hidesprite (the red text).
 
I find this tutorial very useful diego, but I have a question.

I want it so when you talk to Professor Oak he says, "Want a pokemon?" and if you say yes he gives you a totodile, but if you say no he gives you a cyndaquil anyways. How can I get this to happen? I tried combining both the YES/NO script with the give pokemon script and it didn't work..

Try this script:
Spoiler:


Attention: This only work if you don't have a pokemon.

If you have a pokemon, change the flag to other flag.
Example: ... 0x828 change to ... 0x900 (... = setflag or checkflag.)

#org @givetoto

#org @takecare

Before, the script was checking for "if not no, goto @cyndaquil" and "if yes, it's yes, then go to @totodile", but I fixed it.

Thanks a ton man, I refer to this tut like crazy so thanks for helping me out!
I think you should put in your main post about this sort of thing.

Also, I want one space, if stepped on you are checked for a pokemon, if you have one you are allowed through, but if you don't, you are pushed back one space. Would it be just like the script for the Guards in FR, like I would only have to replace the flag and text, or would it be different?

This may be a bit on the off-topic side...But if anyone is pretty experienced with scripting and could help me out.
I would really appreciate it if someone could add me on MSN so we could discuss some of the pointers on scripting.

Thanks in advance,

I tried this script:

Spoiler:


But it doesn't work. I was trying to have it check pokemon, and if you have one you go onthrough and if you dont you go back one space to the left. Kinda like the cycling road entrances. But with only 2 script squares, But it just freezes you there while the guard stares at you.
I even adjusted the unknown and varnumber to like the picture, but it doesnt work still.

Its basically, if they click yes you point them to #org @yes and if they pick no you point them to #org @no, unless you just want it to end when you click yes or no. Its basically all in the MSGBOX Number, you just have to add extra basic stuff depending on what you are planning to do with that particular script.
 
Hello Diego. First before anything your tutorial acts as an excellent reference for me. It's almost as if a professional wrote it.

Now here is my problem. I have a script that suppose to move my player but after its completed my player freezes on the spot without the msgbox function activating.
Below is my code.

Also do you know how to get XSE NOT to autogenerate extra code? It sometimes likes to generate extra unneeded movement commands.

Code: 
'---------------
#org 0x80050A
checkflag 0x8D4
if 0x1 goto 0x880054C
setflag 0x8D4
lock
applymovement MOVE_PLAYER 0x880052C
waitmovement 0x0
release
msgbox 0x8800534 MSG_NORMAL '"you notice a pokeball"
closeonkeypress
end

'---------------
#org 0x80054C
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x800534
= you notice a pokeball


'-----------
' Movements
'-----------
#org 0x80052C
#raw 0x56 'Exclamation Mark (!)
#raw 0x0 'Face Down
#raw 0x1 'Face Up
#raw 0x2 'Face Left
#raw 0x3 'Face Right
#raw 0x2 'Face Left
#raw 0x3 'Face Right
