Sierra's MEGA-HUGE XSE Scripting Tutorial

[xGGxToiZ]

Ok so I have just 2 questions:
1) How do you remove a script once it is completed because I made a script but then all of a sudden when you step back on the same spot the script will happen again, how can I fix this.
Also how do you make it so that they activate the Running Shoes?

Here is the Script:

#org @3

Now for Question 2
2) When I walk up to try and use this script the game resets itself back to the title screen before I even reach it.
Here is the Script:

#org @defeat

How do I fix this?

For question #1, what was the variable you used in A-map for that script tile?
Because you need to add this so that it doesn't repeat when you step on it again:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x8006D8
#org @start
msgbox @1 0x6
applymovement 0x0F @move1
pause 0x20
msgbox @2 0x6
setflag 0x82F
special 0x171
msgbox @3 0x6
hidesprite 0x08
hidesprite 0x0C
hidesprite 0x0E
hidesprite 0x09
hidesprite 0x0B
hidesprite 0x0D
hidesprite 0x0A
applymovement 0x0F @move2
pause 0x20
hidesprite 0x0F
clearflag 0x82F
setflag 0x700
clearflag 0x701
setvar 0x(Variable of script tile) 0x1(Or any value as long as it's not 0)
release
end

That should fix it.

For question #2, where the heck is the pointer to "#org @done"?
And the weird thing happened because you might have overwritten 0x800000.
Look: 1st script: 8006D8, 2nd Script: 800000. Overwriting is possible from the size of your script #2! Try to rewrite the script and use FSF to find a good amount of FF's.

Btw, to activate running shoes:
Add this to a script: setflag 0x(FLAG# of Running shoes) (e.g. setflag 0x860)
FR/LG: 82F
R/S: 860
E: 8C0

That should help a little! ;)

Nononononononono :|

If you had a setflag 0xy on your hidesprite script then remove it and put the flag number in the Person ID box in Advance Map. :)
This thread is full of questions that should be posted in the Script H elp Thread. :|[/s]

 

[inuside21]

can you give me a simple code sir zeffy? coz i cant get it.

this is my code.

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @main
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x1000
if 0x1 goto @des
msgbox @lol 0x6
end

#org @lol
= hey!

#org @des
setflag 0x1000
hidesprite 0xA
end

(for a 1 person event)

That's the script needed. Then in Advance Map (get it from the toolbox) put the flag, in your script 1000, in the Person ID box just below the Script Offset.

I tried to write new code in this and save it and it does not work. I save the changes and when i go back and check to be sure, nothing has happened.

Uhh . . Did you press COMPILE? And what do you mean by save? You just save the file into an .rbc/.rbh file? If so, then that's your problem!

 

[Ready4failure]

i was so proud of my self, because i finally understand how to do weather commands. but I have a small problem. I want the script to activate when i step outside. so, i put the script on the tile outside the door. bbuuuuutttttttt, when i step out of the door, it doesnt activate. I have to step outside, step off the tile in front of the door, then step BACK ON it to make it rain. i kinda wanted it to activate the second i step outside. is there some reason this isnt working? I'm including the script in a spoiler (to save space), but its really not needed because its the same as the example, just different flag lol.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
checkflag 0x300
if 0x1 goto @next
setweather 0x3

setflag 0x300
release
end
#org @next

oh, and btw, im IN LOVE with this tutorial. its helped me quite a bit since im new to hacking.

You have to make something like that a level script.

 

[Ready4failure]

You have to make something like that a level script.

oh, well thats unfortunate. Guess I'll have to learn how to do that *sighs* and i've heard such scary things about them. Thanx tho.

 

[HackinJohn]

I've run into a bad problem recently right in the middle of my hacking/scripting. I'm trying to write script tile scripts (NOT level scripts), and I'm putting the "0300" and "4050", but it doesn't work. My overworld just walks right over it like nothing was there. However, when I put "0000" in for everything, the script makes the game freeze. So I'm not sure why it isn't working...any insight would be nice!

Here's an illustration:

Talking to People?

I'm really new to Poke modding and some of this confuses me.

What would I have to put to make a specific person I talk to say a certain thing?

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

I've run into a bad problem recently right in the middle of my hacking/scripting. I'm trying to write script tile scripts (NOT level scripts)

You just answered your question =)
Without level script, script won't be working just like you want.

 

[Azary3172]

Nice tutorial! I will make this one soon! :)

 

[mikocoon]

i made a ticket (aurora,mystic,old sea)and (helix,dome)fossil event,but why i can't use these item? like i can't use any ticket i get from my event.

 

[bigboi]

I need some help. When I try to put /n or /l to go to another line, it doesn't, so it screws up the text. I used the tool, but that didn't do anything. I don't know how to do that, even though I got two scripts to work.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Because you're supposed to use \n and \l =)

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

Because you're supposed to use \n and \l =)

Just because this Ash guy here didn't properly explain what he meant, I'll do it for you.
See how the slashes / and \ are different. Well, you need to use \ this one.

You don't use 0300, you use 0003.

 

[colcolstyles]

And, while you're at it, you should change the "Var Number" to 0x1013 seeing how it's the variable/flag that you're using in the script. It will also make the "checkflag 0x1013" part in the script unnecessary.
