Sierra's MEGA-HUGE XSE Scripting Tutorial

[[T]ouko]

I really thank you for this! Say, do you know what are the scripts for a roaming pokemon after you talk to them?

Also, is it possible to have a double battle for wild pokemon? I was kinda thinking of making one for Latios and Latias for a hack S:

About the double wild battle, if I'm correct, there's a "Wild Double/Triple Battle" thread in the "Research and Development" section (also in Emulation), you'll find your answer there, I think.

For the roaming, maybe you could make it randomly pick a number between let's say 0-10. If 0 it'll be on Route 1, if it's 5 it will be at the Victory Road, for example... Just an idea though.

I have a small question. I'm trying to program an event that allows you to encounter Regirock in my ROM. To be a good sport, I want to make it so that if you beat the Elite 4 after K.O.-ing it instead of catching it, you'll be able to catch it again. Is there a command to check the player's Pokédex??

So you want to check if you already caught it or not? I wouldn't know how to do that. Curious, though.

I also have a question, is it possible to let a trainer say something different when he wins a battle, like, yay I won, and something different when he loses, like, damn I lost?

When the player loses, it just says "Player is out of usable Pokémon. Player whited/blacked out" and then warps to the last healing spot. There is no victory text for the trainer.

Not that I know of. It is possible with ASM though, and I don't think it's that hard to make either. I just recentley started learning it, and this was one of the first things you do, using Pokemon Data, so try and look up Shiny Quagsires ASM tutorial, that was the one I did ;)

Well, I found out if you use: trainerbattle 0x9 instead of 0x0 or 0x1 or 0x2, you can make a script with trainerbattle, and after the battle you can script further. Like with rival battles, you run into them, you battle them, they leave. And if you use 0x3 in the 3 parameter (called reserved), you get the oak explanation, like it's the first battle.

Sorry I didn't say that, I forgot. But anyway, is there maybe a var in which is stored if you won or not....

ALright, after some searching I found out that this is possible. You can use

trainerbattle 0x09 [trainer] 0x3 @winchat @losechat

If you do that you can have a message for both winning and losing. But you can only continue the script in one way, meaning that after that you'll need a sentence which fits with losing and winning...

Thanks for the help. This will help make my hack much better!

I hope you can manage the ASM :) If not, contact me and I'll have a try at it :P I'm also a beginner at ASM but maybe I can make it work :P

I'll keep you in mind, Lyzo. Well, I'm off to decapatlize everything. =.=

EDIT: Well, I'm trying to make a once-per-day step-count limited minigame. I've got most of the stuff down, I just need to know how to make it only happen once a day and have a step count limit of 500.

thankyou diego!

[madarawolf]

I want to make a system like combing two pokemon. so I thought I would do it using a trade. for example, give venusaur and blastoise and get a venustoise back. Is it possible to set up a script that will let me do this?

First you are missing waitmovement after second applymovement.
Second... you shouldn't use hidesprite... it's buggy. It's better to hide your script with movement hide/disappear (find it in diegoisawesome's tutorial =) depending on the game =)).
And then the another thing =)
If you want that OW to disappear permanently delete checkflag 0x1000 command and put 1000 into person's ID in A-Map.
If you want to leave OW where it is and you just don't want script to repeat itself add this after checkflag:
if 0x1 goto @after

And then the @after must be new #org with msgbox you want OW to say once it finishes the first script =)

[rstar095]

Ive done scripts before but I stopped hacking for a while and recently started again. Anyway here are two scripts Ive done.

This one is very simple yet it keeps giving me "no dynamic start offset specified"

#dynamic 0x80010080

#org @start
msgbox @sau 0x3
end

#org @sau
= incomprehensible

Here is another one.
This one is a bit more complex but I can't see any problems with it. When I go into the game it doesn't do anything but another unedited sprite just dissapears.

What is "trainerbattle 0x5"? I believe it's rematch, but I'm not sure.

 

[Simmy93]

Not sure if this is the place to seek help with this issue but it's holding me back from starting my hack. I've followed the fantastic map editing tutorial on this forum but no matter how many times I try I always end up with this result.

Spoiler:

Can anyone assist? Or point me in the direction where someone could? Thank you so, so much.
